In order to unravel the mystery, the Truman committee called upon Biddle for the Breakers hotel report d young Asprepared by his sistant Attorney General Norman Littell. Littell, who is in charge of lands acquisition, had pointed to the foolishness of spending a lot of money making a hotel into a hospital and then turning it back to the Flor-id- a East Coast railroad' just when we are on the verge of a second front and do not know what our casualties will be. But when Biddle received the Truman committees request, he got in touch with Rudolph Halley, its acting chief investigator, and asked him to withdraw the request. Halley diplomatically complied. But next .day, when members of the Truman committee heard about it, they called up the justice department and subpoenaed the Littell report. Whereupon Biddle promptly surrendered. He asked that the subpoena be withdrawn and he finally sent the Littell report to the committee. Meanwhile, the army is holding up its plans to evacuate the Breakers. two-fiste- CAPITAL CHAFF A. C.

The senate military affairs committee some time ago proposed a policy against rushing through permanent promotions in wartime, arguing that temporary promotions were sufficient and that permanent promotions could come after the war when the senate and the public could survey all of an officers record. Some senators still remember the manner in which General Pershing was jumped from the rank of captain to brigadier general after he married the daughter of Sen. Francis E. Warren, then chairman of the military affairs committee; and they recall also the resentment this caused in the army. However, the policy of blocking permanent wartime promotions is being opposed by the armys efficient lobby on Capitol Hill; and recently, a new move was made to put through promotions for Generals Patton and Somervell. Their names had been before a subcommittee which was adamant against promotion. Patton is now only colonel though holding the temporary rank of lieutenant general. Somervells rank is similar. So Chairman Bob Reynolds of the military affairs committee put their names before a subcommittee including himself, Elbert Thomas of Utah, and Warren Austin of Vermont. Significantly sandwiched in between Pattons and Somervells t, names is that of General now a prisoner in Japan, T'HE best features of both a whom every senator is anxious to - princess frock and the trim, promote.

Members took their hair down and said a lot of things that have been rankling in their bosoms about conflicting draft orders which have promoted confusion. After the meeting adjourned, the committee announced that it had refused to approve a labor draft bilL Inside fact, however, is that formal action against the labor draft was taken only after the committee had heard a furious grenading against the Hershey-McNuteam, including a demand that both be fired and replaced by a single draft czar. Chairman Andrew J. May of Kentucky, Rep. Walter G. Andrews of New York, ranking committee Republican, and Reps. Ewing Thomason of Texas, John M. Costello of California, Leslie Arends of Illinois and Forest Harness of Indiana all got in some forthright licks against the fumbling of the manpower and draft program. The assault was led by Texas Thomason, who declared that one man should be put in complete charge of both military and industrial manpower with the nation at war. tt a tight glass stopper, the neck of the bottle has been wrung out or soak it in vinegar Work it gently and Always keep on hand a package of fancy paper plates.

Enough and on Time Is Slogan at Utah USN Depot "'JN THE shores of Great Salt Lake, 4,280 feet above sea level, nestling in a peaceful valley at the foot of the Wasatch mountains near Clearfield, Utah, has developed during the past year the nations greatest naval supply depot now playing an impressive role in speeding the sinews of war to the Pacific fleet and expanding U. S. naval bases in ever increasing quantities. The first outgoing shipment from the depot a little more than a year ago was a single safe. Today the depot is called upon to handle in excess of 3,000 train carloads a month, according to supply officer in command Capt. Cyrus B. Kitchen (SC), USN. These shipments to the fighting fronts range from insect powder to Diesel engines, from tea cups to a thousand bed hospital complete for advance base operation. From a handful of civilian workers and naval and marine personnel a year ago, more than 4,000 workers help package and ship each day several thousand boxes of naval supplies. Approximately 100 WAVES arrived for duty at the depot during the past month. Rather than too little and too late, the slogan enough and on time, motivates the speeded-u- p operations at this huge depot.
