Banking’s
Manpower
America’s banks have felt the impact of war
from many sides. They have been called upon
to perform numerous war services, such as
selling War Bonds, purchasing the Treasury’s
securities and financing war production. On
the other side of the ledger it is interesting
to see what is happening to Banking’s man
(and woman) power. Of a total of 280,000
bank staff members, 70,000 were lost to war
production and armed services in 1942. The
American Bankers Association estimates that
100,000 more will go in 1943. The road ahead
looks rough, but Banking will "carry on.’’

Rosebud is eight, and the most
beautiful shade of caramel fudge.
To her loving Mammy and Pappy
she is known, on approximately al
ternate days, as ‘‘Angel” and "You
devil child”. It was on her devil
child days that Rosebud tied the
knots in the shirts that Mammy had
taken in for washing, and poured the
whole of the vanilla bottle into the
lamb stew, just, she said later
through bitter tears, to “flavor it up
some”.
On her angel days Rosebud is
equally imaginative even if a more
restful occupant of the little shack
down on Vinegar Hill. Once when
Mammy was out
doing day work.
Rosebud got a
wave of cleaning
fever and scoured
every pot and pan
in the kitchen so
that they literally
glistened. Anoth
er day, left alone,
she tidied up
Mammy s and Pappy’s room to such
a point of apple-pie order that it was
a week before Pappy could find an
undershirt.
Rosebud is a great reader of the
newspapers. Mammy and Pappy
don't take one, but there are plenty
of perfectly good newspapers blow
ing round Vinegar Hill. It was out
of one of them that Rosebud got her
idea for spending the ten cents the
Bunny had put under her pillow the
night her tooth came out. After break
fas Rosebud disappeared down
the Hill and reappeared soon after
with a beautiful ten-cent V/ar Stamp
pasted firmly into a brand-new book
with neat little squares for more
stamps. She displayed her invest
ment to Mammy. “I declare you’re
an angel child," Mammy said. Rose
bud went on sitting on the kitchen
floor staring with large brown eyes
at the empty squares in her book.
From time to time she took hold of
one or another of her teeth and
wiggled it, gently.
Mammy was engrossed in a par
ticularly big washing. Rosebud was
as quiet as a mouse and Mammy
forgot about her until, coming in
from the yard with her arms full of
dry sheets, she encountered her child
with a large hammer in her hand.
Scenting the devil in her angel child,
Mammy shouted at her, “RosebudI
Come yere with that hammer! What
you planning on doing?”
But what was done was done. In
Rosebud’s other hand was another
tooth. Her mouth was stretched in
a broad if slightly bloody smile. "I
ain’t doing nothing. Mammy,” she
said. “I’m Just filling up my stamp
book.”

Views of
Congress
By
Dr. A. L. Mill*r,
M. C.
New interest has been aroused
in this country over the bringing
of Italian and German prisoners
to America.
Nebraska will have four camps
for war prisoners. The camp at
Scottsbluff is now receiving Ital
ian prisoners. I had an opportun
ity a few weeks ago of inspecting
this camp. It is modern in every
respect and will house several
thousand prisoners They have a
hospital with x-ray room, oper
ating room and excellent equip
ment. The hospital will be staffed
by splendid doctors and nurses.
The camp is surrounded by a high
protective woven wire fence with
lookout stations at frequent in
tervals.
My office has received a num
ber of letters relative to using
these prisoners of war on the
farm. They can be used. The Bur
eau that has charge of prisoners
tells me that as a rule they do not
allow the prisoners to be more
than 25 miles away from camp.
Soldiers must guard the prisoners
at all times. They must be back in
camp each night. They are paid,
if they stay in camp and do not
work, 10 cents a day which they
can spend at the well equipped
canteen in the camp. If the pris
oner goes out to work he is paid
the prevailing wage but receives
90 cents of the wage which can
be spent at the canteen, the bal
ance is placed to his credit and
when the war is over will be sent
to the Immigration authorities to
pay the individual’s transporta
tion back to his homeland. The
wage paid these prisoners is three
to four times what they would
ordinarily receive in their own
country. They should be happy
in America.
rne way we treat our prison
ers of war determines somewhat
how well our own boys who are
prisoners of war are treated in
foreign prison camps. The Inter
national Red Cross reports that
generally the treatment has been
fairly good. There seems to be
some exception in the case of the
Japs, who are accustomed to liv
ing on rice and fish. Such a diet
is not enough for our boys.
The machinery division of the
War Food Administration reports
that Nebraska was allocated 305
large combines, 417 small com
bines, 176 grain binders, mostly
small. This will not be nearly
enough to meet the demands par
ticularly in the face of a bumper
crop. It is thought that combines
from the south would follow the
harvest and thus relieve the short
age. Additional steel has been al
located for the production of farm
machinery, but this will not be
available until late in 1943.
Joseph Weiner, Russian born
immigrant, resigned from Donald
Nelson’s War Production Board
by request. It was Mr. Weiner
who ordered a drastic cut of 80%
in the output of farm machinery.
Mr. Weiner was an attorney
with no agricultural experience.
Weiner had charge of tne farm
machinery that went to Nebraska.
He was also trying to force thru
a 50% cut in the newspaper pro
duction. He was criticized severe
ly by Congess. It is men like Mr.
Weiner who may make millions
of people hungry because farm
machinery is needed to produce
food. Many responsible positions
are held by men who have no
actual knowledge of the thing
they are regulating. Many of them
seem to get their job because
they have some peculiar philos
pohy of government.
Former Governor Cochran of
Lincoln, Mrs. Ella Wagner of Lin
coln, Lila Jones of Wayne and
Paul Hawkins of Fremont have
been elected as the Board of Gov
ernors of the Nebraska State So
ciety. This society meets every
few months. It is estimated that
there is about 5,000 people in
Washington who claim Nebraska
as their residence.
Have you seen the film, “Mis
sion to Moscow”? It is a story
about Ambassador Davies and his
book. Critics claim the film is in
accurate and deal in poitical pro
paganda.
Do you think tne wavjls,
WAAC’S and SPARS should be
given foreign service? I notice in
the papers that a number of towns
are putting on recruiting drives.
The House passed ! the bill per
mitting the WAVES and WAAC’S
overseas service. The Senate is
holding up the WAVES. I know
some of the countries in northern
Africa and of the old world, in
which I visited, our girls would
have to make considerable adjust
ments of their life were they to
be given service in those coun
tries.
This office has a number of
farm bulletins which are avail
bale to anyone who will write
