Nuts and Bolts

WASHINGTON, April 11.—-Let.us join congress today in trying to solve the government's great screw-

loose mystery. You know aboutythe war assets administration ard how it's supposed to peddle war-time surpluses, Well sir, the war and the navy departments began dumping screws, bolts, nuts, washers and rivets upon the salesmen by the thousands of tons, Square-headed nuts, hexagon bolts, rusty spikes, and about $3 million worth, maybe, of wagon bolts left over from 1917 piled up in 500 warehouses across the country. The war assets gentlemen wondered how many bolts and nuts they had. One fellow said about $6 million worth. Another bet they were worth $0 million. So they estimated they had somewhere between those two figures. So far so good. People wanted to buy nuts and bolts. ; These came in 70,000 different sizes and patterns and as W. C. Lehman, one of the nut and bolt experts testified, seldom ‘would a particular nut fit any bolt in the assortment. The government's nut salesmen decided they'd better take an inventory. Fortunately the WAA had spent $100,000 for a battery of mechan. ical bookkeeping machines which were so perfect they almost had brains in their clanking innards,

Slight Mixup

+ “THE TROUBLE was,” Mr. Lehman told the house war investigating committee, “that sometimes the code number on a keg of nails got punched up on the card indexes in place of the weight of the nails.” And there was no indication on the cards, added Robert F, Haggerty, who used to be Mr. Lehman's

Movie Punches

HOLLYWOOD, April 11.~Of sll the embarrassing moments suffered by Hollgwood stars in uniform during the war, Tim Holt's was the funniest and probably the most painful, A big fead-headed fellow walked up to Tim one day at the Santa Ana air base and said, “Aren’t you a movie cowboy?” Tim said he was. Then the fellow said, “You know, I've always wondered how you could take those punches in fight scenes when you got hit like this” The guy then swung on Tim's jaw, him down. Says Tim, “For the rest of the war, whenever a guy said to me, “ “Aren’t you the movie cowboy? I covered myself and then ducked.” Tim is still doing those westerns at RKO, but he has'a big role with Humphrey Bogart and Walter Huston in “Treasure of the Sierra Madre.” Papa Jack Holt plays a bit role in a scene with Tim just for luck.

Search for Poisoner

MRS. LEMUEL T. GLIDDEN, 5606 Haverford ave., is one of the many dog owners in the neighborhood who is trying to find the person or persons who are responsible for the poisonings, “And while I'm trying to find out,” Mrs. Glidden sald, “my two dogs, a fox terrier and bulldog, are going to be where I can see them every minute.” Meanwhile, deputy sheriff Otto Ray, who says that

Delivery Difficult

THEY TOOK their troubles to the American institute of nut and bolt manufacturers in Chicago. T..e nut-makers suggested that they dump their stock

‘in the ocean. So. Mr. Haggerty and Mr. Lehman

were happy gents last year when the Palmer Nut and

Bgit Co., Inc. Detroit offered ‘em $2250 a ton for

the whdle works. The contract was signed, but delivery was difficult because of all the wrong numbers grinding out of the bookkeeping machinery. The boys took to pencils. to figure the inventories. This consumed time and before anybody realized it the OPA was no more. Thé price of nuts and belts went up until the stuff that the Palmer company had bought was worth

double. The other nut and bolt folks kicked to WAA

and to congress, What was this anyhow, a nut and bolt monopoly? =

The WAA delivered to the Palmer Corp. about

100,000 tons of nuts and bolts. Then deliveries feli off and finally stopped. Last Friday the corporation sued the WAA in district court here for the rest of its nuts and bolts. It claimed it still had 45,000 coming. The suit is to be tried later. The oongressmen under chairmanship of Rep. Ross Rizley of Okla. haven't yet solved the mystery. Somebody's to blame for something. That's obvious. But who and what, are the questions. More tomorrow on situation screw-loose.

CAIRO, April 11 (U.P. ).—An intricate royal tomb dating back some 4000 years and a small hoard of gold were among the treasures unearthed

Egypt, it was reported today.

Almost daily these concessions yield something mew that adds to the knowledge about the lives and loves of people 40 centuries ago. The work of the Institute Francais is not merely to unearth gold or scarabs or mummies. It is the slow, patient, methodic, and most of all, delicate task of turning back the pages of history. The institute’s director, Prof. Charles Kuentz, said that France was the only foreign nation working on sites in Egypt. Prof. Kuentz added, however, that under the institute’s patronage noted archaeologists of many couniries have participated in excavation. The cache of gold gbjects which Prof. Kuentz characte as “sen-

Aid Is Offered To Mental Group

Doctors to Provide Consultation Service

The Indiana Neuro-psychiatric association today offered its assist ance to the “state mental health council in providing a consultation

service for the state’s overworked mental hospitals. The action was requested by the state council as a means of augmenting professional services available to mental patients. In some institutions a single doctor is responsible for of as many as 500 inmates, The association Said: “The assistanée to the resident staffs of the institutions is to be provided by a program of visits by

gical specialists. Al Short-Handed Staffs “Dr. Norman Beatty, president of

pointed out fo the association the short-handedness of the staffs of state institutions, particularly in view of the staggering problem of treatment presented in each institution, Superintendents of several state hospitals who attended Wednesday night's meeting of the association also expressed appregi tion for any help that might given, 3 “Twelve members of the assocls’ tion offered to lend such help. in this emergency as their schedules would permit, a service which will entail -considerable sacrifice ~ as

in a similar program for veterans’ hospitals.” In his plea for professional help to augment the staff treatment of mental charges, Dr, Beatty told the: association treatment could be expedited by “timely consultation of several physicians especially quali« fied in various phases of psychiatric work.” Low Pay, Scales

The association statement approving the consultation service idea also expressed feeling of many members that the present shortage of trained personel was due to low state pay scales. ¢ The mental health council alsp has recognized the need for more

a program to improve that situation. Under a new law enacted by the 1947 general assembly the council will have authority to set up new merit standards and new pay scales,
