As head of the economic warfare board, the lowan and his No. 1 aide, Milo F. Perkins, prepared a directive which definitely crippled the Hull-Jones authority in this far-flung field. The document permitted them to set up an agency full right to use its funds to buy war materials abroad lest they fall into hostile hands, especially in South America. In the past this method of depriving the foe of raw materials at the source has been handled by the Texan's Defense Supplies Corporation with the state department's cooperation.

Commercial and embassy attaches in other countries have combined facilities in establishing this blockade. Messrs. Hull and Jones protested that major transactions of this sort should not be consummated consultation with themselves and the president. The chief of our foreign affairs branch noted that on occasions there might be diplomatic considerations militating against abrupt action. FDR admitted that he did not understand he was conferring such plenipotentiary power on the Wallace-Perkins establishment when he signed their paper.

Expressing some irritation at their apparent failure to explain its significance, he promised to investigate and straighten out an admittedly defective setup. FOOLED--The men who must manage our battles enjoy few chances for hearty Falstaffian outbursts of laughter. But now and then they thank their stars and Tjars for the opportunities which Mussolini's antics provide.

Berg, for many years an excellent catcher with the Washington baseball team of the American League. New York THREAT--The ungallant gentlemen on Capitol Hill are doing wrong by our Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. And strange as it seem, the chivalrous men from the south are the ones who object most strenuously to the skirted and turbaned battalions.

The idea never appealed to the general staff, although Secretary fitimson and General George C. Marshall felt bound to endorse it. Nor was it particularly pleasing to Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt because it was the thought of Republican Edith Nourse Rogers of Massachusetts. House mem- bcrs were privately skeptical, but passed it through fear of feminine resentment if they killed it.

The measure was sent back to a senate committee for restucly when Senator Thomas of Utah offered an amendment placing the proposed agency within the regular system. Originally the plan had been to keep the unit as a separate entity. Making "regulars" of the girls was just too much for Senator Francis Maloney of Connecticut. With the bill seemingly poised for passage he spoke up and obtained a recom- mittal. A Barbour revision carries a more subtle threat against the ladylike innovation.

The New Jersey man insists that there shall be no racial discrimination in the outfit if and when it is organized. Administration spokesmen have agreed to that provision. There is some suspicion that partial inspiration for this prejudicial alteration came from the Democratic side of the aisle. BASEBALL--Nelson A.

LEMAN PERIL What retaliation will Hitler make for the crescendo of air raids by the relentless RAP? To suffer an unmerciful daily pounding without striking back is not characteristic of the vindictive Fuehrer. If the Luftwaffe is obliged to spread across the steppes and cannot meet the rising tempo of the English and promised American onslaught, the German leader must have seme other card up his sleeve. Downing street believes it is gas. the most horrible of all modern weapons, heretofore withheld because of its drsad boomerang qualities. The "Deutscher Volksender" an illegal anti-Axis radio operating in Germany, broadcasts that the I.

G. Farben chemical trust has perfected a deadly mist and that soldiers returned frcm the front are being re-equipped with rubber boxes similar to masks. Britain's intelligence says that the new peril is a persistent spray which will be dumped on airdromes in an attempt to ground planes and kill pilots and antiaircraft crews. Then Goering's own bombers will descend close to earth and blow everything to bits The Russians charge that tests already have been made en war prisoners. These reports may be propaganda or manifestations oi' the jitters, yet most military experts believe "that' the Nazis--like their lathers in 1914-18 --would not hesitate to use the ghastly mixture if thereby they mifht win certain victory.

WOOING--Recent maneuvers by Thomas E. Dewey have stirred Up many arguments in New York Labor circles as to whether the former district attorney is a clever politician or just a sucker being bam- boozleci by union radicals. Insiders believe that the GOP candidate for governor is trying to capitalize on the split within the ranks of the American Labor Party, which past elections has delivered its big following to the New Deal. When the gang-buster ran against Lehman, he missed cut by a few thousand ballots. If he can grab this margin for himself, he thinks he can reach Albany--and maybe So he is spreading honey for left wing flies.

He interceded in behalf of college teachers facing expulsion on the charge of holding Communist sentiments. His campaign mouthpieces explain that this action was merely a demonstration of his love for civil liberties but most cigar-chewing politicos think it was a modified form of baby- kissing. He suddenly lambasted John 'L. Lewis--willing to gamble en losing support in the dairy farm belt where John L's union membership drive has won some popularity for the main chieftain. Dewey timed his attack to coincide with another punch launched against the bushy- browed Welshman by the radical branch of the CIO.

The back-room boys in the Labcr movement wink and say that all this wooing by the Republican hopeful will not help in November because the fellow travelers will trail along with the Democrats as usual. PLOTTERS--The lowering jungle of Vichy-Madagascar is not the only ambush which threatens America's life line around the Cape of Good Hope. Convoy skippers in New York harbor reveal that great anxiety is felt by seafaring men about the potential menace that lurks in Swakopmund and the Wai- vis Bay coaling station in southwest Africa. This mysterious region, like a Peeping Tom, overlooks the shipping- routes around the Dark Continent. It is a breeding place of spies and fifth columnists.

He has just been elected to Tau Beta Pi, national engineer- ins scholastic fraternity, and to Blue Key, national honorary service fraternity. Last fall Liljequist was honored by election to Chi Epsilon Chi, honorary chemical engineering fraternity.

He was graduated from the Luther L. Wright high school in 1939. Germany during the First World War and its recalcitrant inhabitants have never forgotten their earlier allegiance. Three official languages are English, Afri- kaan and German. Civil service employes must be trilingual.

Nazi cells, nourished by funds and propaganda from overseas, flaunted their racial culture until snuffed out by the conflict. The swastika flag was openly flown in the'streets until the complaisant colonial government finally forbade the custom. Beyond the caracul sheep country is little Windhoek, the capital, another nest for Axis plotters, thirsting fcr the day when they can drive out the hated British stock. Although the Berlin orphans intrigue with a few disloyal Boer elements, they keep chiefly to themselves.

The coast line is desolate and Allied patrols believe traitors signal to U-boats the size, time, and other essential facts about U. S. troopships and merchantmen that skirt the shores.
