It has become Increasingly evident that Marshal Clilang Kai-Shek's well-nigh inexhaustible supply of manpower will be the best weapon with which ultimately to defeat the Japanese.

Gen. Chlang has kept Japan at bay for a long time, and while yielding territory, which he can easily afford, the little brown men have never gotten the best of the Chinese. The Chinese have a great advantage over British and American troops In that they require less modern war equipment than their occidental associates.

Man between 20 and 26 years of age, inclusive, may enlist in the Army Air Corps. A hiuh school education is required. Married men must furnish proof that dependents will be supported. TUESDAY, JANUARY 13,1942 The Washington Merry Go- Round BY PEARSON AND ALLEN Washington The next report of Senator Harry S. war contracts Investigating committee will be the hottest yet.

Now prepared by Missouri Senator and his able chief counsel, Hugh A. Fulton, the report will give OPM a bare-knuckled going-over for falling more effectively to utilize the nation's industrial system for war production. Truman will flatly demand the elimination of all Dollar-A-Year and (without compensation) men as the first step in a top-to-bottom cleanup of tho OPM, which he will recommend should be undertaken immediately. In blasting the Dollar-A-Yearers, the report will charge that many of them, under the pretense of their services to the government, have in fact exploited their official to get juicy contracts for their corporations. Also, unless a change is made in the Truman-Fulton draft, the report will declare bluntly that many of these Dollar A- Year men have been undercover for their firms.

Equally sensational will be the accusa tion that a number of them have received substantial Increanes in the salaries thev have continued to draw from their companies while working for the government "for Note: OFM now' has 246 Dollar-A-Yeai and men on its rolls. It costs the FBI per man to investigate the background of these officials. THEY DO IT The report will say that the probe has uncovered no technical violation of the regulation barring OPM officials from handling contracts in which former bus iness are interested. However the report will charee that some Dollar A- Year men have helped their companies get blg-proflt contracts by surreptitious devices. One such device is to give their flrnu advance tips on orders a tremendous advantage to a bidder Another is to advise their firms on to go a contract, who to see, the amount to bid and so on.
