Washington, D. C.
~KED ARMY PROMOTIONS
The army is pulling all sorts of
~res backstage in the senate to
~reak the log-jam against perma-
nent wartime promotions--especial-
ly those of General Somervell and
General Patton.
The senate military affairs corn-
mitten some time ago proposed a
policy against rushing through per-
marten, promotions in wartime, ar-
~ndng that temporary promotions
were sufficient and that permanent
~romotions could come after the war
iwhen the senate and the public could
survey all of an offtce~s record.
Some senators still remember the
manner in which Genera] Pershing
was jumped from the rank of cap-
rain to brlgacJier general after he
married the daughter of Sen. Fran-
cis E. Warren, then chairman ot the
military affairs committee; and they
,recall also the resentment this
caused in the army,
However, the policy of blocking
~l)ermanent wartime promotions is
~being opposed by the army's effi-
cient lobby on Capitol Hill; and re-
cently, a new move was made to put
,through promotions for Generals
',Patton and Somerveil.
Their names had been before a
subcommittee which was adamant
against promotion. Patton is now
4~Ay colonel though holding the tem-
bporary rank of lieutenant general
~anervell's rank is shnilar.
So Chairman Bob Reynolds of the
:Imllltary affairs committee put their
~namas before a subemnmlttee in.
!eludins himself, Elbert Thomas of
Utah. and Warren Austin of Ver-
~memt. S~alflcantly sandwiched in
~et~een Patton's and Somervell's
mamel is that of General Wain.
wrlght~ ~ a prisoner in Japan,
whom every senator is anxious to
promote. So it will be difficult foe
the subcom~ttee to promote one
without the other two.
Draft director Lewis B. Hershey
and manpower boss Paul McNutt
~ame in for some rough handling re-
~arding the bungled draft situation
~at a closed.door meeting of the house
~Mlltary affairs committee the other
day. Members took their hair down
and said a lot of things that have
~een rankling in their bosoms about
~onflleting draft orders which have
qpromoted confusion.
After the meeting adjourned, the
~ommittee announced that it had re-
fused to approve a labor draft bilL
Inside fact, however, is that formal
action against the labor draft was
~aken only after the committee had
~eard a furious grenading against
the Hershey-McNutt team, including
a demand that both be fired and re-
~placed by a single draft czar.
Chairman Andrew J. May of Ken°
d~ucky, Rep. Walter G. Andrews of
New York, ranking cQmmlttee Re.
publican, and Reps. Ewing Thomao
son of Texas, John M. Costello of
California, Leslie Arends of IKinols
and Forest Harness of Indiana all
got in some forthright licks against
the fumbling of the manpower and
draft program.
The assault was led by Texas'
two.fisted Thomason, who declared
that one ,man should be put in com-
plete charge ~! both military and in.
dustrial manpower with the nation
at war.
MYSTERIOUS HOSPITAL
There ls something awfully mys-
terio~ about the war department's
determination to get rid of the
Breakers hotel in Palm Beach as
an army hospital, and the extent to
Which Attorney General Biddle
seems anxious to cooperate.
In order to unravel the mystery,
~the Truman committee called upon
Blddle for the Breakers hotel report
:prepared by his two.flared young As*
~istant Attorney General Norman
Lit,elL I~ttefl. who is in charge of
landa ncq~sitlon, had pointed to the
foolishness of spending a lot of mon.
ey making a hotel into a hospital
and then ~urning it back to the Flor.
ida Ea~ Coast railroad |us, when
we are pn the verge of a second
front and do not know what our
casualties will be.
But when Biddle received the Tru-
man committee's request, he got in
~ruch with Rudolph Halley, its acting
chief investigator, and asked him
to withdraw the request. Halley dip-
lomatically complied.
But next day, when members of
the Truman committee heard about
it, they called up the justice depart-
ment and subpoenaed the Littell re-
port.
Whereupon Biddle promptly sur-
rendered. He asked that the sub-
poena be withdrawn and he finally
sent the Littell report to the corn-
mittee. Meanwhile, the army is hold-
ing up its plans to evacuate the
Breakers.

What makes our town "Ameri-

because we're diEerent but be-
cause we're so much like all other

31 SOIL DISTRICTS
ORGANIZED IN STATE
Recent action by the State Soil
Conservation Committee in approv-
ing new soil conservation districts
in east Grand Forks, northeast and
southeast Tralll, and in southern
Dunn counties brings to 31 the
total districts now organized in
North Dakota. Twenty-seven of the
districts already are operating.
Initial steps for the formation of
other districts are in progress in
Foster, Griggs, east and west Pem-
bina. Rolette and Renville counties.
Total area in the ol~anized and
~roposed districts is over 18 million
acres.
Sail conservqtion distriets are or-
~nised by farmers under state law
for the purpose of worklnS on soil
and water conservation and land
use problems.
Information on soft conservation
districts and assistance in organiz-
ing and establishing the setups are
furnished locally by county exten-
sion agents. When established, ad-
ministration of the district is in the
hands of supervisors elected by the
I
farmers within the district. Super-
visors solicit help from other govo
ernmental agencies for carrying o~
the conservation work of the
district.
