WAR-TIME WASTE SCORED
Findings of the Tydings Committee, as summarized by
the Citizens Emergency Committee, emphasize that nonwar
spending waste must be stopped, that federal personnel now
engaged in nonessential activities must be transferred to necessary war duties. The report points out that: The elimination or curtailment of functions not necessary to the prosecution of the war and those which are duplicating, overlapping
and parallelling would make available to the primary war
‘agencies personnel which is well trained and experienced in
government methods of operation. Considering the present
status of the nation. it stretches the imagination to believe, or
even comprehend, that many of the functions still being prosecuted by numerous departments and agencies could be
arcued as heir~ necessary to the war effort.’ Senator Tydings
has introduced legislation authorizing the shift of employees
from nonessential; nonwar agencies to war agencies.
KITCHEN COMMANDOS
(From the fournal. Wilmington, Del.) :
Like the War Bond campaign but unlike some other etforts on the home front, the drive to save fats‘and creases wil!
continue for the duration of the war. So long as Japan holds
the East Indies we shall have to look to our kitchens and meat
shops for the materials out of which we can extract the glyrecine required to. manufacture explosives.
So our housewives may as well make up their minds that
their voluntary enlistment in the cause is a long one. If they
fail to do their part, compulsion may supplant the present
policy of persuasion. In Germany and Japan it is a criminal
offense to throw away waste fats. That dictatorial program
can be avoided here if the negple will give the government
their wholehearted cooperatiow:
This is a job which will have to be done largely by the
women of America. They have an opportunity to render the
nation a highly patriotic service at no financial cost to themselves. All that is being asked of them is that they save their
waste instead of throwing it away. It is a modest request.
AMERICA’S GIBRALTAR
Public concern lest Alaska—with the Japanese having a
foothold in the Aleutians—might prove the Achilles heel of
America in the event of a Jap attempt to invade this continent,
was widespread before members of the Senate's investigating
committee personally inspected Alaska’s key defense prparations.
__. It was reassuring to hear from those senators that Alaska
is strongly fortified and garrisoned and that our mliitary establishment there is being augmented constantly. Jt is also reassuring to learn that construction on the military highway to
Alaska is going forward so rapidly that the highway will be.
in service within a few months.
,. General Billy Mitchell, the man who was so far ahead of .
contemporary military thought that he suffered disgrace for
his foresight, said of Alaska in 1935 — a long while ago as
world. events have run:
“Alaska is the most central place in the world for aircraft. and that is true either of Europe. Asia or North America. I believ that in the future he who holds Alaska will hold the .
world. and . think it is the most strategic place in the world.”’
Just now, it may be, Alaska is important principally as an
outpost of continental defense. But in years to come, as Billy
Mitchell predicted, Alaska. may become the Gibraltar of American air power, offensively as well as defensively—more important to this country than the rock of Gibraltar was important to British sea power in the days when nothing more damaging than hailstones was to be faced from the skies above
that rock.

WORK FOR WESTERNERS
Two years of gearing Pacific slope industry to the demands of war have given the people of the seven far western
states an average of $910 per capita in war contract work to
_. handle. This is more than 50 per cent above the national war
contract per capita of $590, according to computation by the
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. West Coast war contracts total two and a half times the total 1939 value of all
manufacturing production! _,
That is cheering infomation—and allied with it is word
from the Social Security Board that because of. opportunity
for war work 828,000 men over the age. of 65 have deferred
retirement on pension, and 24,000 who had retired before
Pearl Harbor have dropped off the pension rolls to go back to
work. The proportion of these elderly workers is likewise
heavy in the west. This speaks well for the eagerness of our
senior citizens to pull their full share in the war effort—and
also shows that the WPA and dole years haven't killed the oldtime American instinct to step into a job and go to it—when
one is open.
JOHNNY GETS HIS VOTE

sion today lies in the vast numbers of doctors who are being
‘calléd to service with the armed forces. It is the government's
policy that American fighting men must be given the finest
medical care possible, and doctors are joining up, by the
thousands.
In order to meet both military and civilian needs for doctors, medical groups are taking definite action. . During the
next three years, for instance, U. S. medical schools _ will
graduate more than 21,000 students as a result of recently
adonted programs for accelerating the education process. This
is 5000 more than would have been graduated without the ac.
celerated programs. .
Retired doctors are coming back into harness, and other
doctors are working harder. The most efficient utilization of
alt our medica! resources is rapidly being attained. .
So far as the patient is concerned, authorities are urging
that everyone do what he can, to “‘spare the doctor.”
simply means that we shouldn't ask for unnecessary house
calls, and we shouldn’t waste the doctor's time when he comés. If you take more of his attention than you actually need,
someone else may have to go without. If patients will remember this, it will help greatly to solve the problem.
THE ARMY, THE NAVY—AND THE WEST
Brigadier General Frederick Gilbreath, commander of
the San Francisco port of embarkation, said this week:
“You may be interested to know that for several months
during the spring and; summer, the San Francisco port shipvec out more military supplies than all other ports in the: United States combined! If you include Los Angeles and Portland, thece ports shipped out 60 per cent more than all other
ports combined! I have had surveys made of all port facilities
along the coast. You would be astonished to see the quantities
of freight that these facilities are capable of handling. They
will be needed to full capacity, however, before this war is
won. if . am any judge of the magnitude of the undertaking.”
The West produces much of the goods shipped, and
these words of praise for duty well done are pleasant. But
how are we to make sure of continuing to meet to the full “the
magnitude of the understaking?’’ General Gilbreath added:
‘Here on the Pacific Coast, the Army, the Navy and the
civilian population are bonded together to lick the enemy and
we have no time nor stomach for squabbles among ourselves.”
Words for every-westerner to heed—union worker, nonunion worker, producer, grower, owner, investor, shipper.
“To lick the enemy, we have no time nor stomach for squabbles among ourselves.”

, The ‘most serious problem faced by the medical profestoa
ories and in doing so are knowingly
“prostituting their science by supporting an obvious fake,’”’ according
to Dr. Richard G. Goldschmidt, professor of zoology at. the University of
California.
Writing in the Journal of Heredity, Dr. Goldsmidt took issue wiih
an earlier article which had described the discovery by German anthropologists of certain “hereditary attributes’’ of the Jewish race. It said
scientific study had uncovered sev-, :
lservation of tires by
eral of these, such as the position of
the ears and the shape of the nostrils.
These ‘‘attributes’’ were to be used, said the article, to identfy per'sons of Jewish blood or the mixed
Jewish-Aryan ancestry. Even a trace
of Jewish blood could be-discovered
by their use, according to the article. . :
“The writer of the article was apparently taken in by the Nazis.”
said Dr. Goldschmidt, ‘‘since such a
scheme is not’ scientifically valid.
German Jews have a very large mixture of Teuton blood, as well as
Moorish, Spanish. Dutch and Slav.
The so-called Aryan German also has
a very mixed racial background. It is
impossible to pick out a second or
third generation descendant of such
mixed strains and identify his ancestry from his ‘bodily characteristics. The German scientists who are
providing manufactured evidence to
support the Nazi plan are prostituting their science.’”’
HIGHWAYS
HIT NEW Hie
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 21; — Tire
punctures and blowouts on highways
of California have almost doubled in
the last six months, the Department
of Motor Vehicles revealed today.
Surveys conducted throughout the
state by highway patrolmen indicate
inability of car owners to obtain new
tires is having the inevitable effect
of increasing the number of vehicles parked on roadsdies for repairs
or waiting for a tow car. :
One patrol inspector reported tire
dealers in his district had received
several offers ‘“‘as high as a month's
salary’? for one good used tire. The
same officer said from five to ten
cars could be observed any Sunday
“limping in’? on an empty rim.
Garages report an increasing number of vehicles stored for want of
fearing injury to precious tire casings, refuse to moye them even a few
ifeet and consequently leave their
vehicles parked on pavements while
they go in search of help or another
tire. From several communities it
was reported that the stock of boots
for casings is becoming depleted.
