Public's pocket-book. In high government circles the theory is that John Q. won't scream over sacrifices for notional defense but that he stand for boondoggling how. If he has to shave his last copper to pay taxes and keep corned beef and cabbage on the table, eh's going to be sure no federal agency is wasting its time with cream puffs, hat kind of reasoning is drivign some federal officials to settle down to some head-thumping and although little has been done so far, the pressure is increasing to streamline the mechanics of government and eliminate all the frills that have nothing to do with national defense. For example, that trial balloon about lengthening the government workweek is something more than a teasei A number of agencies have hundreds of employees who have been working overtime for months, but these are entirely defense; although in very few of them is there any pay for do get accumulative leave for those hours spent burning the evening oil.

As for the others, it's still a 39-hour week, and the quitting bell means dropping work as suddenly as a fourth-grader does at recess time. Secondly, there are a couple of I schemes in the offing to cut non-de- ifense personnel without bothering to 'go through legislative channels, One would be an executive order from the President permitting defense agencies to make personnel raids on non-defense bureaus. At present, the stealig nof hired help is a pretty precarious business and needs a lot of finagling, both on the part of the personnel thief and the job-jumper, unless the latter wants to lose face and status with the Civil Service Commis- I sion. Also under consideration is another Football Headlines Last Saturday NEA Service Telephoto 70 fine roll-your- own cigarettes in every handy pocket tin of Prince Albert executive order which would prevent I non-defense agencies from filling I vacancies without proving that their 1 entire machine would collapse unless the job were taken over by a replacement employe. The third major offensive can be found in the surveys the Bureau of the Budget now is making against the next fiscal year appropriations.

There already are moanings in some sectors that the Budget Bureau is talking tough to non-defense agencies, bureaus, and departments. The rumor now is that Budget is aiming at something just short of a billion dollars in savigsn, with the axe scheduled to fall heavily on WPA, the proposed CCC and NYA, nad one some activities in the Department of Agriculture.

Edson in Washington Score on Jones- Ickes Aluminum Feud WASHINGTON The way l.as been carrying on about Jesse Jones and the contracts made by the Defense Plant Corporation for production of aluminum for defense purposes, you may have gained the impression that Harold thinks Jesse is such a lowdown, contemptible, anti-New Deal rascal that he would be of hauling his eggs to market in a government car during a gasoline shortage.

The truth of the matter is that the simplest way to start a fight in Washington Ihese days is to walk into any group of defense includes everybody in say "Aluminum!" real quick, like that. The argument will start at once, and end up no telling where, for the subject is so broad and so complicated that people will be writting books ebout it for the next generation. The scrap goes back to April, 1937, when the government began its antitrust suit against the Aluminum Company of America, which suit the government lost. The defense angles date from about November, 1940, when the first of the famous under-estimates of defense requirements for aluminum was made. Hysterical Heights The dispute is still on, but the cli- get this rating.

The rest would have to streamline or bust. It's more tha at least will be when John Q. gets his first income tax notice next March. That's official Washington has it sized up, anyway. max of hysteria on the subject came in September when Ickes screeched into the picture wit ha letter which attempted to give Jones unshirted, public hell for a $52 million contract Jones's'Defense Plant Corporation negotiated with the Aluminum Company for construction and operation of one 400 million pound alumina plant in Arkansas, and three aluminum plants at Massena, N.

Bonneville Dam, Ore, and some place in combined output of which would be 340 million pounds of aluminum a year. Alumina, as you know, is the intermediate stuff made out of bauxite clay, from which aluminum is made. Ickes charged that this was a 'damnable contract" because its provisions did not protect the government's interest, but instead "strengthen anj extend the monopolistic position of the Aluminum Company of America," Jones has not made public his reply to the Ickes letter. Privately, Mr. Jones states that this is one of the best contracts the government ever made.

Instead of extending Alcoa's 0 monopoly which a United Slates court has now declared it is Jones's position that this contract finally gives the government power to control national production of aluminum, and thereby to break whatever control Alcoa had on production and price. At the time this contract was' made, Jones also negotiated an agreement with Alcoa to cut the price on aluminum ingot 2 cents a po.und to Make Your Own Dolls for Xmas A Rag Doll Is About Most Hugo- ble Doll There Is By MARGARET KERNODLE AP Feature Service Writer A rag doll is about the most hugnble doll there is.

Seventeen to 22 inches sounds big but the bigger ave the government and other consumers from million to $25 million a year. Plants to Spltrc The Jones theory on which this battle-scarred aluminum contract was negotiated is that for normal business purposes the country is now building excess plant capacity. In 1939, the company's total aluminum consumption was 300 million pounds. Defense plans call for a tola! annual produc- In this aluminum contract, the company leasing the government-owned ants agrees to keep the plants operating at the same rate which the firm operates its own plants. Thus, if demand for aluminu matter the war is only 50 per cent of the defense both Alcoa's plants and the government plants will be operated at half capacity instead of the government plants closing down and permitting Alcoa to get all the business.

If demand should fall to 40 per cent of capacity, or below, the lease may be canceled, but there is nothing to prevent the government from leasing its plants to other operators, staying in the aluminum business as a competitor to Alcoa and selling government aluminum at any price it chooses to break a possible Alcoa price rise While the contract is in force, Alcoa is to act as sales agent for the government, 85 per cent of the profits going to the Defense Plant for the government, 15 per cent to Alcoa. Ickes himself has estimated this might yield the government a profit of $3,825,000 from the operation of the bonneville plant alone. But if DPC decides that Alcoa is making too much money from operation of the government-plants, then the government can torce Alcoa to cut its price under threat of cancellation of the lease. Those are some of the reasons Jones thinks he lias driven a typical Jones bargain and made a good contract for the government. It is, the better the child will like it.
