OTTOMAN United Frew Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept 21 U I wouldn't be surprised if Henry Wallace tries to muscle into my racket, writing pieces for the paper. Everybody else has. As soon as a government big-wig gets his walking papers, he looks my way and tells me to move over. The list is long: Ray Moley, Rex Tugwell, General Iron Pants Hugh Johnson, Honest Hal Ickes, Jonathan Daniels, and even Fio-rello, Fio-rello, the Little Flower, LaGuar-dia. LaGuar-dia. Dozens of others, from Fanny Perkins to Sumner Welles to an ex-cop at the White House, have dabbled in the one-word-after- another business. A few have done pretty well at this trade, but mostly they have fizzled. This has made me sad. What I mean, Henry, is that yon need advice. If yon sitn a Sl.OOO.tOO syndicate contract and trade yonr Australian boomerang in on a portable typewriter, yon might as well do the job right Most of your fellow politicians made the same mistake when they suddenly decided to become neyspapermen. They got out their thesauruses and started denouncing denounc-ing their enemies in 700 well-chosen well-chosen words a day. Pretty soon they ran out of enemies. Then they began to strain. That's bad, Hank. You've been using too many gobbledegookish phrases as it is. Some of your sentences have been way too long. This makes for Baby Gangsters Have Organized Business BIRMINGHAM. England Police Po-lice who broke up the "23" gang found the organization had a complete arsenal of small arms and 3,500 rounds of ammunition. The gang kept neat typewritten records of stolen property, future burglaries, gang members and "people not to be trusted." The gang was broken up after 15 jobs of house-breaking and burglaries of stores, offices and warehouses. Gang members carried car-ried two-pound weights "for self-protection self-protection on the job," and also packed revolvers. Their business office in a coach house was furnished with a brief-case and portable typewriter.

OUR BOARDING HOUSE MAJOR HOOPLE More Sugar Promised Next Year WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 (U.R) The department of agriculture said tonight the U. S. probably will get more sugar next year. But there is no present pros pect for an increase in sugar rations during the rest of 1946. And. the department said, any "significant" increases in sugar rations are likely only when the 1946-47 crops "are moving in volume." In a summary, the department reported that July 1 sugar stocks were 40 per cent above those of 1945, but only about one-half the average of recent years. "With recovery expected in sugar production in Europe and other war-damaged areas, the U. S. will probably get more sugar next year." the summary said. "However, demand for sugar at price levels only moderately above present ceilings probably will still far exceed available supplies. "Sugar supplies for the U. S. will depend largely on apportionment appor-tionment of total supplies to various vari-ous claimant countries. Sugar production pro-duction in the U. S.. the West Indies and Europe will be particularly par-ticularly important in determining determin-ing the supplies available to the United States." The department warned that recovery of the sugar industry in Java, the Philippines and Formosa For-mosa will be small in 1947. Further recovery in these areas, the summary said, "depends "de-pends on political conditions in these countries, the availability of equipment, fertilizers and other factors of production, and the repair re-pair and rebuilding of can processing pro-cessing mills." The summary said retail sugar prices "probably will increase" under terms of the Cuban purchase pur-chase agreement and the extended extend-ed emergency price control act. dull reading. Particularly when you re fresh out of dastards. What I'd suggest, Henry, is that you study up first on the essay snappy. Then go out and talk to people and find out what they re doing. You never will run out of subject matter. Your job will be a breeze. Most of the other fellers who go the old heave-ho at the White House didn t understand this fundamental rule of newspaper ing. They thought people would be interested in what they thought. Haw, Haw, Henry. If yon don't know exactly where to start looking for news. Hank, I can give you some valuable hints from my own experience. For interviewing inter-viewing purposes, I suggest yon start with Lana Turner. She has ideas on all subjects and even if she didn't, what would it matter? Gangsters make good stories, too, if .there are any left. One time I watched an inventor put on his buoyant shoes and walk across the Chicago river. Again I assisted at the embalming of a whale. Tugwell never tried subjects sub-jects like these; neither did Iron Pants. Then Henry, when you get over being embarrassed about sticking stick-ing your nose into other people's business, you might try working on them en masse. One of the best stories involving lots of people in one place, in my opinion, is a nudist camp. Amazing Amaz-ing is the word. Every few weeks, you should produce an item about animals. I don't mean that stuff you used to write about too many pigs. I'm talking about dogs that talk. You can't miss, Henry, when you interview a speaking Spitz. If you have any questions. let me know. When the time comes to get your press badge for the Democratic national convention in 1948, see me. I can wangle it. I've got friends in the management. man-agement.
