Phillipson has told the Red Cross, has been rather slow, simply because the need has not been appreciated. There are plenty of opportunities in the army nursing service, in both reserve and active status, for all qualified nurses who wish to serve. The loyalty of nurses during the World war was one of its brightest pictures. As soon as the need is clearly understood, there is no doubt that it will be filled today, even though the crisis is not as acute or the need as pressing.

3. Fuddles Return Home Mr. and Mrs. A.Irian E. Fuddle returned home Tuesday from a week's visit with their Uncle Dud Fuddle in San Francisco.

Mr. Fuddle said he had a line time but was glad to get back to the peace and quiet of a small town. a a a The ensuing scenes are laid (end to end) up and down the Fuddles' cheerful living room in their home on Mortgage Ridge. The time Is just after dinner, that "hush twixt the dark and the daylight which is known as the children's hour." A bright fire blazes on the hearth. Mr.

Fuddle reposes contentedly in the big chair before the fire while his wife Crystal Fuddle automatically moves about tidying up the room. MR. FUDDLE Well, after all there's no place like home. It's a relief to get away from those banging cable cars. C'mon for the luva Pete and sit down.

Thought you were the one said you were going to enjoy your home if you ever saw it again. CRYSTAL (straightening a picture) I don't believe there's a thing in this house in its right place. And you ought to see those bedrooms. I don't believe the beds have been made since we left. FUDDLE Seems to me they got along just fine.

Seems to me it does 'em good when we go away. Gives 'em self reliance. Don't believe they've had a fight since we left. C'mon take it easy. You'll have another whole year to wear yourself thin.

(Interval during which Mr. Fuddle smokes his pipe contentedly while Mrs. Fuddle resurrects a pair of spiked baseball shoes from the piano, fishes a dozen assorted marbles out of the couch and unwraps somebody's necktie from around the reading lamp. This tranquil domestic scene Is interrupted by a succession of noises like the Second Battle of the Marne while from various directions Adrian Fuddle Junior, Herbert Hoover Fuddle, Franklin D. and little Claribel come pelting into the room).

HERBERT Not with my records, you don't CLARIBEL Maw, he twisted my arm and pulled my ear ADRIAN, Jr. Aw, who's gonna hurt your old records FRANKLIN D. That's what I say. Claribel was just gonna teach me to dance with his old records. HERBERT (heatedly) Then you take some of that Tommy Dorsey stuff or that other old corn, but you let my collection alone.

MRS. FUDDLE Why Herbert Hoover Fuddle, your attitude surprises me MR. FUDDLE Silence! Silence! Now what's all this uproar. THE MOB (in a clamor) got my best boogey woogie who cares scratching 'em all up. who's an old bag.

say that again bought 'em myself oh yeah etc. etc. MRS. FUDDLE Children, children! MR. FUDDLE Will you all shut up.

Now then; one at a time, what's all this uproar. You, Herbert, what you howling at your sister for? HERBERT Howling? Why shouldn't I howl? I found her making off with my Meade Lux Lewis "Yancy Special," Will Eradley's "Beat Me Daddie" and three or four Artie Shaws. ADRIAN, Jr. Yeah! Artie Tschaikovsky Shaw and Bennie Beethoven Goodman and Mozart Lux Lewis to hear him talk MR. FUDDLE I don't get it at all MRS.

FUDDLE I'll handle this. Herbert, think you are being very ungenerous. Suppose they do dance with your records. Isn't that what they're for? HERBERT Aw, Maw, you don't understand. These are the cream of the crop that I paid my own money for.

They jump up and down like this see. Then the needle jumps the sound track and you lose a beat see. If they wanna dance there's plenty of corn, but these are just like your good symphony records. You wouldn't loan anybody your good symphonies, wouldja MRS. FUDDLE I'd loan anything gladly End cheerfully at any time.

I'd loan HERBERT Well, you wouldn't loan 'cm your best chairs if they wuz gonna break off the legs wouldja? You wouldn't loan anybody your nice silk things MR. FUDDLE That's about enough, young man. Now I don't get this at all. Who is this Boogie Goodman and this Woogie Shaw THE MOB Oh gosh, dad! don't you know hot jazz? Ain't you ever heard 'Beat Me Dmitri" of the "Clambak Five, Opus 35 First Door etc. MR.

FUDDLE I don't get this at all. (Somebody in the adjoining room starts a hot number, very loud.) MR. FUDDLE 1 thought we were supporting the Junior Symphony.

KELLY Register-Guard Washington Reporter WASHINGTON, D. March 21. At an. executive session a subcommittee on military appropriations had a couple of Bonneville employes on the witness stand and developed some Information. It was testified that Administrator Raver signed a con-tract for power with the Reynolds Metals Company for Cascade Locks, but for an unexplained reason wrote a letter to Reynolds stating he could get the power wherever he wished to locate and not just at Bonneville.

It appears that Reynolds was ready to settle at Cascade Locks, where he would receive switchboard rate. Also it appears that the Oregon tax commission is alleged to have said the lowest taxes would be at Cascade Locks, the second at Portland and the highest at Longview, Wash. Secretary of the Interior Ickes supposed Reynolds was going to Cascade Locks and word that the plant was headed for Longview was news to him. The witnesses stated that a substation at Longview to reduce the kilowatts on the through line would cost approximately $1,500,000. It would require 300 days to assemble the material.

(Reynolds says he wishes to start producing pig aluminum June 15). If a substation is not built, then lines would have to be run to Longview also at an approximate cost of $1,500,000, and with national defense orders there might be difficulty in obtaining the materials. Members of the subcommittee wondered whether the government would pay for a substation or transmission lines to Longview to favor a contractor for power when there is a network of transmission lines in the northwest with innumerable sites. There was no question of the Reynolds company going to Longview, if it desires, but there was a question whether the government should spend so much money to accommodate a customer. No one could object if the Reynolds company furnished its own substation or transmisson line.

The matter is one of administration entirely, although a provision might be written that no funds for Bonneville can be used for substations in the future. The question Is under discussion whether the ugly duckling ships to be constructed on Willamette river for the maritime commission will be armed. Privately owned merchant ships under the American flag are to be armed, according to current plans, with a couple of guns. Those vessels will sail the Pacific to the Far East, bringing to the west coast such raw materials as tin, tungsten, chromite, rubber and other heavy cargo and taking over routes which have been developed by British lines. Practically all the guns are made in the navy yard at Washington, D.

on a three-shift basis. Another matter Bill Knudson is working on are contracts for the Scotch boilers and reciprocating engines to power the ugly ducklings. He wants the boilers and engines ready for installation when a ship slides down the ways. There is also the matter of lifeboats, and no subcontract has been let for those. Lifeboats can be turned out in mass production in a number of shops from Astoria to Vancouver, Portland and way points.

Senator Bone and Representative Leavy of Washington, Nebraska's Norris and Representative Rankin, Mississippi, franked thousands of government-ownership pamphlets to the registered voters of Spokane urging them to vote for municipal ownership. Many of those pamphlets accused the Washington Water Power company of spending large sums of money to organize against the election proposal. Administrator Raver of Bonneville and his entourage went to Spokane and advocated municipal ownership, with power coming from Grand Coulee. The federal power commission issued a report on private utilities in Washington state, with particular attention to. the Spokane company, regarding funds to be used in the election, and this report was distributed in the Spokane area.

Despite these efforts of the so-called power bloc and the government employes, Spokane rejected municipal ownership. The legislators can't understand why their speeches and pamphlets were disregarded. President Roosevelt is behind a movement to change the immigration laws to permit German and Polish refugees to enter the United States. Most of the refugees, it appears, are lawyers, doctors and merchants, no farmers. Lack of interest in vital legislative matters is shown by the small attendance in house and senate when bills are passed appropriating billions of dollars.

If any one suggested the absence of a quorum it would be difficult to round up enough members. Attitude of members is that the committee in charge of the bills know all about them; that they will pass anyway.
