R. F. C. Accounting GOVERNMENT accounting office audit of RFC affairs will be no token matter if the George bill passes. The accounting office has assured senators that work “will start on a thorough job—as soon as it is given authority. Meanwhile, house Republicans plan amendments which would forbid the President to transfer commodity credit and other agencies back to commerce, as well as forbidding transfer of RFC. It means another free-for-all if it reaches house floor. But banking and currency committee mem-

Policy committee, the bill was introduced by House Majority Leader George Henley of Bloomington and Paul C. Moellering (R. Ft. Wayne). Already, the policy committee has submitted measures reorganizing the heretofore bipartisan—-health board and =highway- commission on & partisan basis. The new “double-voting chairman” proposal would affect also the alcoholic beverage commission, the conservation department, financfal institutions department, personnel board, police board, probation commission, .and other minor agencies. It likewise would apply to the trustee boards directing scores of state institutions. Rep. Henley said, however, that Governor Gates is- not expected to take advantage of the bill's provisions as far as institutions are concerned. He said it “was understood the governor would observe his previous pledge to keep the institutions free of politics. The" policy committee's health board reorganization measure also was’ flung “into the house hopper yesterday afternoon. - It replaces the present four-meniber bi-parti-san board with a seven-membey agency and provides for a $6000-a-year secretary Meanwhile “the steamgauge was steadily rising on the policy committee's legislative proposals to take over Indiana's alcoholic beverage system.

Nevertheless, sooner or. later, the explosion must come. - But it will probably not come in Ger« many until the hand that controls -.fhe terror _machine—the tanks, the planes- and the machine guns-—falters. In addition to the unknown number of Germans who must be awaiting” the moment to rebel, there are some 12,000,000 foreigners—slave labor brought in from the outside to work fn factories, on the roads and in the flelds. These, too, must ‘be pining to cut the throats of their masters. Probably the only tHing that can prevent one of the greatest massacres in history is a swift allied occupation of all Germany and the imposition of the stiffest kind of martial law. If Hitler succeeds in delaying the allies long enough, he may be signing his own death warrant. Already there are rumors of unrest inside the Reich. Himmler’s gestapo is waging a’losing battle.

Hitler, of course, was upheld by pretty close to 100 per cent, It is too much to expect, however, that all these Germans had On the contrary, it seems more reas-" onable to suspect they had decided to use discretion: There must be millions of Germans who hate Hitler. From all accounts, however, they have been thoroughly cowed. Moreover, they haven't known what to do about it.

rublic complaints mounted as householders alleged some dealers were following a “business as usual” policy; not answering. their phones; favoring old customers over actual distress cases. Dealers also had some charges to make against householders: Too many persons were trying to “chisel” coal—ordering from several dealers at once, faking the urgency of their needs; some were refusing the coal brought to them because it was the “wrong type” (forefng drivers “to return the” to the dealers—unprofitable to the drivers since they are paid for each ton delivered; some householders were not staying home so coal could be delivered, while others didn't have money ready to pay for the coal, sobbed they thought the Red Cross or the city” was paying for the fuel.

Allied control at the top will be in the hands.of a tripartite com~ mission probably based at Berlin, Later, France and some of the smaller countries will be given a voice in the high command, But the job will be started by the najions that have borne the brunt of the fighting.

He led his own campaign, and it took him to England and Turkey after local success gave him wider confidence in his cause, The nickname ‘Pussyfoot” was tagged on him by a Haskell, Okla. newspaper after Johnson, then a U.

The paper commented: “The booze-buster strikes like lightning, even if he is a pussyfoot.” Johnson invaded whisky-loving Oklahoma Indian territory in 1906 as a special agent to enforce tine hated law against transporting | liquor into the area.
