Government Bull Is
Being Goaded Now by
Real Texan Maverick
(Continued from Page one)
that all unimportant memos be
contributed to the scrap paper drive
rather than be put into the files."
Wolf's memo went out on April
1, but he wasn't more than half
fooling and according to govern
ment executives I have talked to
since, who agree with him and
f
Adm. Young and Maury Maverick,
his figures are too conservative.
Several government officials are
ganging up now with the idea of
more or less immortalizing Mav
erick's memo. They suggest that all
government agencies and depart
ments adopt the slogan: “Get rid
of the gobbledygook language and
win the war.”

HECTIC COMEDY
TO END SHOWING
CAPITOL SCREEN
Lana Turner mixes sodas blind
j folded and figures in adventures
i ranging from an amnesia masquer
ade to a hectic romance with Rob
! ert Young in M-G-M's "Slightly
Dangerous,” ending tonight at the
Capitol Theatre. The picture, made
for laughs, will keep you well en
j tertained for there is never a dull
moment.
Miss Turner plays the part of a
soda clerk in a department store.
She tires of her humdrum existence,
leaves a suicide note, poses as an
amnesia victim and long l06t daugh
ter of a millionaire. Young, the
new store manager, is blamed for
the “suicide.” He sets out to find
her and save his job. Complication
’ follows upon complication until the
climax finds the two principals
, madly in love.
Miss Turner handles comedy with
■ a flair that proves her talent in
j this type of role. It ,is her first
comedy performance, although
! Young is quite at home in his
! favorite medium. Walter Brennan
adds to the hilarity as the "sugar
! daddy" millionaire. Rotund Eu
I gene Pallette is convincing as the
newspaper publisher.

Armed Forces
j WASHINGTON, April 25. — The
creation of a single department for
the Armed Forces to replace the
present departments of war and
navy after the present war was re
commended to Congress by War
Secretary Stimson, who told a
House Committee on postwar mili
tary policy the statutory unifica
tion of command should not be ef
fected during the present war, but
added, “It is of the greatest impor
tance that the general principle of
consolidation be determined upon
as soon as passible.”
Stimson commended the voluntary
cooperation among the heads of the
various branches of the armed ser
vices in this war, but added, "Our
experiences of the war abundantly
brought out that voluntary coopera
tion, no matter how successful, can
not under any condition of war
fare, particularly under triphibious
warfare, be effective in handling
the great military problems, as some
form of combination of concern
trated authority.”

contractors." Selling of the Even
ing Herald, Express, Examiner and
News Times are directly involved.

eight to one decision, Roberts dis
senting. The decision said the rec
ord “sustains the board's findings
and there is ample basis in law
for its conclusion.” The majority
said the board’s selection of collect
ive bargaining units also must be
upheld, adding:
“Units chosen by the News and
Herald consist of all full-time news
boys and checfcmen engaged to sell
papers in Las Angeles. Bootjackers
and temporary newsboys are ex
cluded. Units designated by the
Times and Examiner consist of
newsboys selling at established spots
