Six Months Month (with Times furnishing envelope) 35 Cents GOVERNMENT CORPORATIONS N Congress will exert more power over government colorations most of vhich will come under review during the next lvo years. "Judge" Frederick Moore Vinson, 55, of Kentucky, beloved of his former fellow congressmen, will not have the same Wank-check powers that Jesse Jones had as federal loani administrator. It's all part of? the general trend in Congress to exercise moi e and more checks on the administrative branch of the federal government. Jesse Jones was known as the "second most powerful man in Washington" and the "biggest banker in the world." When Henry A. Wallace asked the president to give him the Jones lending powers along with the department of commerce portfolio, he knew that he was opening up a public question that was broader than any mere personalities. That is the question of how much credit of the federal government shall be used to create millions of new jobs after the warIt was obscured by the emotional outbursts of conservative congressmen and businessmen who claimed that Wallace was unqualified because he was impractical, lacked administrative experience and had never met a pay-roll. Judge Vinson, now acclaimed as the world's biggest banker, has never met a pay. roll. He has been a public servant most of his adult life, but has practically no administrative experience, and like many others has had difficulty balancing his personal budget. But his appointment is applauded by Jesse Jones; and other conservatives like Snator Robert Tai't of Ohio, as well as. the opposition press. Philosophically Vinson is closer to Wallace than Jones. If his record is a criterion, it shows Judge Vinson "left of center" and a devoted supporter of President Roosevelt. If F.D.R. wants the policies of the U. S. Ineding agencies liberalized Vinson will liberalize them if 'Congress will let him. Judge Vinson's record as a Democrat and New Dealer is unblemished as the blood strain of a derby favorite. He has political and judicial courage. In 1928 he risked punishment by the bigots in his district, by supporting Al Smith. lie lost his seat in Cong! ess, but was returned in 1930 and became the foremost tax authority on the ways and means committee. Always precocious, Vinson could recite whole sections of tax bills. He was chairman of the sub-committee which sponsored the social security bill, lfe supported Roosevelt reforms up to and including the supreme court reform bill, which he introduced in the House, lie is author of the undistributed profits tax, which many conservative businessmen regard as an invention of the devil. While his home district was more agricultural than labor, he consistently supported pro-labor legislation, and upheld the Wagner national labor ? elations act when he became a federal judge. TTp took t.hp $12,500 1! S rnurt. rf anneals iiirlpeshin in

the District of Columbia because he could not live on $10,000 a year and meet the biennial costs of election. But he unhesitatingly resigned from this next highest court of the land when the president telephoned to ask him to take over the office of economic stabilization perhaps the most thankless job in Washington. Here he has fought inflation with the gusto that has characterized the Vinson political fighting for several generations. Despite the conservative propaganda against subsidies the "judge" said they were as American as flapjacks and corn pone, and fought for them to keep down the price of bread and meat and other commodities. He disked his former congressional colleagues for a 10 billion dollar tax bill to discourage inflation. He only got two billion but they all still swear by "Fred." It is this robust, gregarious ability to get along with political opponnents that accounts for general approval of his. appointment.

CIVILIAN SHOE LEATHER CUT. A deep cut ii the supply of leather for civilian shoes in April, May and June was 'disclosed by the War Production Board. It was indicated that only 10 to 15 per cent as much battle hide would be available for civilian shoe uppers as at present, the ."est going to meet enormously increased Army demands for footgear. Impact of this shortage is expected to fall particularly on men's shoes and various juvenile types.

i Our Captain has kept us all

well-posted on developments, not

only on "S" Day but most every

night since, by giving us informal talks over the general announcing system, covering not pnly the naval strategy employed but also the Army strategy; so we will certainly be in a position to iell our grandchildren about the "Battle of the Philippines." Our Chaplain has followed the Captain's talks with prayers for our success and safety, which have been both timely and comforting. I repeat that the Lunga Point has come through without loss of life thus far, but attendance at Divine Services has materially increased since that Jap bomber gave us that scare. It is still a long way to Tokyo, and to do to Tokyo what we l ave just done to Luzon will take not only the continued devotion to duty of the men in the Lunga Point and all other naval vessels, but, what is just as important, the 100 backing of those on the Home front. You continue to do your part, and we'll do our best to help make this a short war, in the hope that we will soon be re-united and enjoying everlasting peace together. As ever, Love, Nelson. , P.S.: We are not coming back with our bridge undecorated;
