U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce hears Admiral Stark. Washington, D.C., June 20. Speaking before the National Convention of the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce today, Admiral Harold R. Stark, Chief of Naval Operations, U.S.N., called for self-sacrifice and strengthening of the 'moral fiber' to prepare the U.S. for what he said may be the last stand against 'the vaunted efficiency and ruthless methods of dictatorship.' Left to right in the picture: Admiral Harold R. Stark; Joe E. Levitt, Vice President of the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the morning meeting, and Henry F.

Complaints that pretty girls receive favors in promotions brings questioning of civil service employees. Washington, D.C., March 29. Senator Allen J. Ellender, Louisiana, remarked before the group of witnesses at his hearing today on civil service appointments that a group of civil service employees had complained to him last Friday night that they were dis-satisfied over the system of appointments, but were affraid to appear before his committee to openly state charges. The charges Sen. Ellender said, were to the effect that beauty means more in promotions than efficiency. Today, he called in post office employees where, it was charged, Mrs. Josephine Smithers had been promoted from a salary of $1740 to $2300 a year, while Miss Leone Adair, who has served the department longer, was broken hearted because she had not been considered. This is a general view of the hearing with witnesses. Left to right - William J. Dixon, Superintendant, Division of Postmasters, who appointed Mrs. Smithers, Leone Adair, one of protesting witnesses, Jessie Donaldson, Director of Personnel who backed up Dixon's Judgment in Promotions, Mrs. Virginia Counselman, complaining witness, J.P.B.

"Office politics" suggested as official is unable to account for presence of employee. Washington, D.C., March 30. The old cry of 'Office politics' was raised today as the subject of a Senatorial Investigation. Miss Bertha Longergan, Miss Margaret Stanley and Howard P. Locke are pictured at the hearing as pricipal witnesses. Miss Longergan, who described herslf as 'one of the older war horses' in her section, having served there for 18 years, and had worried herself into an appendictomy due to what she charged 'juggling' of her efficiency rating which was given as fair, while Miss Stanley's had been 'good' and 'excellent'. Miss Stanley does not have a civil service Rating, and it was brought out that she is doing work which is suposed to be done by stenographers with civil service ratings. Mr. Locke was unable to account for this fact, and denied that he had told Miss Lonergan that something might be done about her rating if she would not testify at the hearings. Mr. Locke is a Justice Department Attorney and says he also attends to 'certain personnel matters'. 3-30-39

Hitler's helpmates. Mabel Wattwaster is helping to win the war--but she's working for the wrong side. As she drones gossip into the telephone, her toast burns merrily away. She is not only wasting food and power, but is also impairing the efficiency of her toaster by letting it overheat. Mabel knows that much household equipment like toasters will be irreplacable for the duration. She also believes in the consumer's victory pledge ("I will take good care of the things I have . . ."), but still there are times Hitler is counting on her to lower America's civilian resources, and ultimately to weaken America's morals

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. Oil well derricks on the beach along the coast of the U.S. Pacific coast state of California indicate how thorough is the seach for oil which has been going on in America for more than eighty years. Some beach wells are drilled straight down to reach oil deposits, but others are drilled at an angle so that oil is being pumped from locations far under the sea. Sometimes the bottom of the well is a quarter mile or half mile from the shore, while surf washes the foundations of the steel tower on which the drilling or pumping machinery is placed. The thoroughness and efficiency of the U.S. oil industry in finding new oil deposits accounts for the enormous supplies produced in America for the modern machines of war. In 1944 according to a U.S. oil company official, the predictable U.S. crude oil total will reach 1,601,250,000 barrels

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. A geology expert of one of the large oil companies U.S. displays two varieties of sand from an oil drilling district. The hand on the left holds dry, oil-less sand, while the one on the right holds sand rich and dark with oil. The latter oil-soaked sand, called "Simpson sand," is the goal of all seekers of oil and finding the sand in a test-boring indicates that is a well is sunk at that place the chances of "striking" oil are good. No longer do oilwell drillers in the U.S. rely on "hit or miss" methods of drilling for oil. Geologists make careful surveys of the surface of the ground to detect those geological characteristics which indicate the presence of oil deposits beneath. The industry's high efficiency has resulted in the production of enormous quantities of oil, a great part of which today propels and lubricates the planes, navies, and mechanized equipment of the United Nations' armed forces

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- At SPACEHAB, Cape Canaveral, members of the STS-107 crew look over elements in the SPACEHAB Double Module as part of equipment familiarization for their mission. The crew comprises Commander Rick Husband, Pilot William McCool, Payload Commander Michael Anderson, Mission Specialists Kalpana Chawla, David Brown and Laurel Clark, and Payload Specialist Ilan Ramon. STS-107 has two payload elements, the Double Module in its first flight into space and a Hitchhiker payload. The double module provides greater experiment capability than on previous flights, resulting for this mission in a very broad collection of experiments for NASA and commercial and European customers. The experiments range from material sciences to life sciences (many rats). The Hitchhiker carrier system is modular and expandable in accordance with payload requirements, which allows maximum efficiency in utilizing orbiter resources and increases the potential for early manifesting on the Shuttle. Hitchhiker experiments are housed in canisters or attached to mounting plates. The Hitchhiker canister comes in two varieties--the Hitchhiker Motorized Door Canister and the Sealed Canisters. STS-107 is scheduled to launch in May 2002 KSC-01pp1571
