I BOMB MISSES ^Contrary to its name, the popular "Beer Barrel Polka" has no con* nection with drinking. It was written as a G.erman love song under the title "Skoda Lasky-Polka," although it is not a polka, which is a Polish dance in double time with the music accented on the third quaver, or second beat. On most radio stations this popular "Beer Barrel Polka" is merely called "The Polka," or "The Barrel Polka," because of ruling against the word "beer." (Public Ledger--WNU SerwtMM- _•_!

Washington, Nvranber 27 -- Decision of Congress to remain on the job instead of going home is much like the schoolroom monitor---their presence has a nuisance value. The fact that the legislators are sticking around town but transacting little or no parliamentary business is considered an admonition against any pranks the executive branch of the government may have in mind. 'The majority leaders, who counted on a post-election adjournment, are somewhat non-plused at the attitude of their colleagues. It now remains for them to provide a program for the lawmakers t» occupy their time for the country's benefit or to stall important measures by routine roll calls without a vote. So many beleaguered nations are petitioning this country for financial and military assistance that Congress iis holding the fort against any overt act which might bring us into direct participation in the war. The latest Gallup poll showing1 that the crosssection of people interviewed favor the repeat of the Johnson Act has made the solons wary. This statute prevents Toens to governments now in default of debt obligations. As this prohibition strikes directly at Britain the feeling grows that it is only a matter of time before Congress will be asked to repeal or modify the law. The legislators, however, are not likely to take a poll of this sort as a mandate from the people. In a vital matter, which affects the nation's relations with warring powers, the tendency of Senators and Representatives is to take soundings in their own states and districts as to the true sentiment before getting out on a limb. There is no secrecy about the concern in administration circles over labor disputes in national defense plants. Many delicate questions of policy are involved, but the last word will come from the White House. Already the President is making another effort to heal the breach in organized labor's ranks but without much hope of early success. The internecine war leaves scars which a conciliatoc^cannot readily bandage in the interest of harmony.# It is reported that Mr. Roosevelt will block any plan to modify the labor legislation passed during his terms even as an emergency. Yet, he is not expected to countenance labor strikes in plants handling government defense contracts because the^e delays are dangerous. While open disavowals of political intent were uttered in debate, a certain smell of politics surrounds the passage of the Ramspeck bill to blanket 200,000 Federal employees under the Civil Service. The measure was passed immediately following the elections. Democratic and Republican critics of the measure insisted it was a rank injustice to the thousands who are seeking government joba. The new law favors those with sufficient influence to land a Federal berth without obtaining a civil service rating. By Act of Congress, this means thaV by attaining the level of seventy percent they are regular employees under the civil service and hold their positions regardless, of whether or not" someone else has passed a civil-service examination with a grade of 1D0" per cent. One legislator complained that large' cities gather the cream of government positions because ih the rural areas of this country they do not have the facilities for getting information about the examinations and' it is very seldom that thejr know about them. People out of work cannot under' stand why jobs are not as plentiful as enormous expenditures of public money for preparedness would indicate. One answer is that the firms with new contracts have been running under capacity for years and usually find their facilities adequate with the present force of employees. On the other hand, the defense spending: is creating jobs but not on a large scale. The November report of the Bureau of Agricutlural Economics points out gains in industrial activity have been accompanied by increases in the income of industrial workers and in national income. This agency says, "The domestic defense program is the principal force behind the improvement in demand conditions for farm products. The increasing defense expenditures are reflected in active factory-building operations and in increased output of defense equipment. Aside from these direct effects on current productive activity, the defense program is having important indirect effects upon industrial buying policies, resulting in the accumultaion of inventories in some lines because of anticipated higher prices and the possibility of later difficulties in securing deliveries." Secretary of Labor Perkins' prediction that the defense program will practically abolish unemployment within a year is taken in official circles with a grain of salt. At the end of September when figures were gathered 218,000 workers with skills needed for defense were registered at employment exchanges. Estimates by the A. F. of L. say eight million are not working despite the defense boom. Mrs. Frank Sanders, daughter, Hazel, visited in the A1 Westman home in. Woodstock on Monday- evening.

PURCHASES NEW HOME Mr. and Mrs. Homer Fitzgerald have purchased the Vogt house on Main street and are intending to remodel it into a two apartment building. They intend to occupy one of the apartments. At present they are making their home in the Louis Nimsgern place on Waukegan street, which the latter recently purchased from Peter M. Justen. By George Peck From 1929 to 198T, England' increased her per capita ihcome by seventeen per cent while ours here in America fell off' twenty*-three per cent. England started her recovery by building homes. When we say "England," we mean the English people and not the English Government for these residences were buiTt by private companies and private ihdfviehtals unassisted by the state; The British knew the one sure way to get industry back on its feet and put unemployed men beck to work, was to build homes. Not only does the actual buitdlng gi>e employment to masons, carpenters, plasterers, plumbers, efectricians, etc., but it stimulates those industries which supply the building materials. They also took the human equation into account--that it would be inevitable that people moving into new homes would not be content to goalong with the old furniture. So, there fbllowed in England little short of a boom fbr the manufacturers and purveyors of furniture, rugs, electrical equipment and the thousand' and one things which go into the average home. The United States Government has sought and tried out many schemes for "priming the pump." Amongr other things, it has given encouragement and financial aid to the building of new homes. For this it is to be commended, 'even though we still believe that greater strides would have been •Made in that direction by eneouraging ai)d guiding free private enterprise to do the job. In 1928 there were 2% billion dollars of residential contracts awarded in this country. This fell to a low of 249 million dollars in 1933. Happily, since then it has been rising steadily and will be somewhere in the r.c^hborfcssd c? Ui billies d©!!srs for 1940. If eventually we can get this up to the three billion dollar mark, it will in conjunction with the vast sums be* ing spent for defense, get our industries out of the doldrums and our yearly national income over the 100 billion dollar level. As the administration is bent on priming the- pump, what better can it do than to resurvey the need and market for new homes and then give still further encouragement to this moat important objective of our national economy--more and better homes for the American peopl«, ELECmiC TOASKR Makb. nyfctbn browm toast: fbfr "Qtmfc- IM}, IkeaHinii.
