C. ARMY WIVES AND PROMOTION'S The extent to which army wives Influence promotions, dictate mili-tar- y expediency and dominate the army always has been a matter of warm debate at army posts. Inside the war department, there are two schools of thought. One ad-mits there is a certain amount of petticoat influence; the other main-tains that the army is a man's army and that women have absolutely nothing to do with it. Those of the former school point to the fact that Gen. John Pershing, when only a captain, married the daughter of Senator Fjancis Warren of Wyoming, then chairman of the senate military affairs committee, after which Pershing was jumped in rank and became a brigadier gen-eral. Then, when Woodrow Wilson faced senate controversy over who should head an American Expedi- - tionary force to France, with many senators demanding Teddy Roose- - velt. Wilson selected Senator War-ren's son-in-la- and thus quashed senate controversy. The petticoat school also points to the fact that Gen. Douglas MacAr-- tnur nrst married the beautiful daughter of Edward T. Stotesbury, a J. P. Morgan partner, who re-quested Secretary of War Weeks to advance MacArthur to the rank of major general when most of his Weil Point classmates were still ma-or- s and colonels. Another example is Mrs. George Patton Jr., wife of the pistol-packi- n' general. Her coolness, poise and charm helped her hus-band out of a good many peacetime scrapes long before his unfortunate encounter with a sisk soldier in Sicily. In the other school are those who point to a host of high-rankin- g gen-erals whose wives have had no po-litical influence on their careers. General Marshall's first wife aspired to be an opera singer, was sick for a long time, finally died. General Eisenhower's wife is an unassuming lady who has kept in the back-ground. General Somervell, until recently, was a widower. 'Warning' to Fliers' Wives. Now, however, comes a new argu-- i fler in this controversy. General "Hap" Arnold, chief of the army air forces, has been put squarely on record by Col. Alfred L. Jewett, commander of the air forces tech-nical school at Gulfport, Miss., as recognizing that wives influence an officer's promotion. Colonel Jewett himself doesn't make any bones about it. He says that an air force officer's "efficien-- I cy report" is affected by "activi-ties by his wife." The "activi-ties" in this case refers to joining the Gulfport Field Women's club. Colonel Jewett last month sent out a circular letter to all officers under him,- - virtually ordering their wives to join the club. He even went so far as to warn that, "in the event that any officers' wives do not wish to belong, it is de-sired that their husbands so state in a letter to the commanding officer, such letter to be submitted prior to the fifth of the month following the date the officer reported to the sta-tion for duty." And then, apparently afraid that his subordinates might not take the hint in the none-too-subt- warning, Colonel Jewett laid it right on the line by invoking the authority of Gen-eral Arnold. "Active participation in the work of the Women's club is a matter in which higher authority, including the chief of the air forces, is vitally in-terested," warned Colonel Jewett bluntly. "And every officer in the air forces may expect to find his efficiency report affected by tie manner of participation in these activities by his wife." So there it is in black and white. CLEANLINESS NEXT TO GODLINESS Take it from Lieut. Col. Jimmy Roosevelt, the President's son, the first thing a fighting man thinks about after a hard battle is a bath. Jimmy, who distinguished himself with the marines in the South Pa-cific was recently telling friends about some of his war experiences "We had a pretty tough time of it on Guadalcanal, as everybody knows," Jimmy related. "After one of the first hard battles was over, some of us were taken aboard a navy ship. The first thing they of-fered us was a square meal. But We had man-aged we weren't hungry. very well on our K rations. What we all wanted was a bath. But and water sharp-ened I guess the soap up our appetites, for we just about cleaned out the ship s larder qfterwards."

Stout, Detroit engineer, warns the auto industry that the ilrplane industry is so far ahead of It in new ideas that it may lead the leld in automobile making after the lie thinks the aviation engi-neers and designers will spring mod- - j fls that will eclipse anything the au-- lomobile people have dreamed of. It seems to make sense. We can Imagine the aviation folks beating he gun and coming out with a fliv-r- er that will combine the best fea-atr- es of a runabout and a fighter-plan- e, and with a touring model Jiat will put mothers-in-la- in the jail-turr- or bomb rack.

Another model, badly bat-tered, got home on two wheels and with steering wheel gone. This car operates as efficiently upside down as rightside up, a point to be consid-ered in modern traffic. It looks like lots of fun ahead, boys and girls. The law enforce-ment officials are going to love it. But we think the pedestrians are going to be pretty scared by the sight of traffic cops In scout planes. Tokyo's Mrs. Topping A woman who calls herself Mrs. Henry Topping broadcasts from Ja-pan in sweet motherly tones, laud-ing the Japs as a kindly people, as-suring Americans that their sons suffer no cruelties and even quoting Yank prisoners as saying, "The Jap is not a bad fellow at all. He is fighting as I am, because I am told to. But he wants to get back to his wife and kids, just as I do." The Japs pronounce it wrong. What they want is a Sphere. "Ickes Bafs Plan for U. S. to Take Over Fish Industry." Headline. Omigoshl The thought that there was any talk of federal operation of fishing astounds us. Washington controlling the fish catch, mending the nets, telling the halibut when to run and announcing a code for mackerel? It unnerves us. We are skeptical about results. A rarp or hake may give in but wait until they try to tell a big blue, bass or kingflsh what to do about holding the line! And we won't be-lieve Chester Bowles is all he Is cracked up to be until we see how he comes out in an argument with a swordfish. , As Elmer Twitchell says, a ceiling on fish is better than fish on the ceiling, anyhow. It will be weeks before we can step into a fish market without think-ing of administrators and confer-ences. Not for a long time can we gaze upon a filet of sole without thinking of arbitration boards.
