\ ar Powers for a Post-War Job
IN signing the bill which extended certain of his war
powers until next March, President Truman commented
on “the aversion of our people to controls.” Yet a little
reflection should convince even the stoutest opponent of
such government regulation that the present extension is
wise and necessary.
Broadly, these war powers are now aimed at giving
the maximum foreign aid when and where it is most
needed, with the minimum disturbance t<* our domestic
economy. Already, in the post-war years, they have prob-
ably done more than most of us realize to relieve hard-
ship abroad without imposing it at home, and to act as a
curb on inflation.
This extension of authority permits the president,
through the secretary of commerce, to maintain control
over the export of critically short supplies. It also per-
mits him to keep ODT control over the allocation of
freight cars and other railroad facilities. There are a few
other provisions, but these are the two that affect all of
us most directly.

'J'HE export controls allow the president to continue the
quota system of foreign purchase or foreign allocation.
A.l the commodities affected are in short supply abroad.
Several foreign countries have dollars with which to buy
them. Removal of controls on meat and grains, for ex-
ample, would almost certainly touch off inflationary bid-
ding and send prices soaring.
[The rail controls make possible an intelligent and
efficient use of transportation to get badlyi needed supplies
to the right port at the right time. By avoiding waste,
delete and pile-ups, this also tends to eliminate shortages.
To extend these war powers does not, of course, give
assurance that they will be used wisely. There is no
important evidence, however, that they have been abused,
then; continuance, correlated with the survey of our do-
mestic economy and foreign aid which Commerce Secre-
cy Harriman and a public committee are making, should
help to maintain balance in a situation where the demand
exceeds the supply.

^MOTHER important matter, pointed out by Mr. Truman,
, 1S the renewal of the war powers gives notice to
the world of “our unanimity on matters affecting our
international relations.” There may have been times when
iur. Iruman and congress have seen eye to eye on policy
matters but not on the means of putting policy into opera-
tion. But this is not one of those times.

IAN I lie following morning young
^ ’ Mrs. Sutton, back from Pine-
hursi, welcomed two elderly guests
from upstate.
The Misses Pond and Petty, both
in their late 60s, were not strangers
to travel or anything. They loved
life and had a passionate Interest
In heath, other people's. Along
with their contemporaries they read
the obituary page daily, but where
the contemporaries accepted the
printed fa:t, Bessy and Beulah
challenged it. They didn't believe
that natural death was as common
as doctors and coroners made it
out to
In appearance. Bessy Petty re-
sembled an aging Cupid and Beu-
lah Pond a rejuvenated hawk.
vViien Roberta Sutton met them
to her car, she looked as if she
were being preyed upon. But they
were only loving her.
After breakfast Roberta offered
a shopping trip, to be foUowed by
lunch with Mark East. This was
■accepted with little cries of pleas-
ure. and they started out.
* ♦ *
e°to B*aciinian8 fust,
" if you don’t mind," Roberta
said. "I need soap. Then lunch.
Then anywhere you like. What do
you want to see?”
Bessy said, "The Little Church
Around the Corner, the Little Bar
at the Ritz, and Grant's Tomb."
They drove to Blackmans and
Roberta made straight for the
toilet goods, beginning to smile be-
fore she reached Uie counter. But
Miss Miller wasn't there. A strange
clerk with bleached hair was re
arranging Mis* Miller's stock. Ro-
berta compared her watch with
Blackman's big clock; It was only
11:30, and Miss Miller never went
to lunch belore 1. She spoke
briskly to the strange clerk.
"Will Miss Miller be back
shortly?”
The clerk looked blank. "Who?”
Then she appraised Roberta’s coat,
hat, gloves, handbag and all that
could be seen of her blouse. This
wasnt a personal, this was a cus-
tomer I'm new in the depart-
ment," she said formally. "Would
you like me to inquire, madam?”
"Yes. I would, please." Roberta
wanted Miss Miller to meet Bessy
and Beulah. Miss Miller would
enjoy that. "Perhaps. If she's been
transferred—"
“If madam will wait," the clerk
said, 111 ask our section manager."
* * *
pressed a button under the
counter and a tall young man
glided to Roberta’s side.
"Madam is inquiring for a Miss
Miller," the clerk explained. "This
Is our Mr. Benz, madam."
Mr. Benz replied wjth an equal
mixture of pleasure and regret.
“Miss Miller Is no longer with us,
but I'm sure Miss Collins will do
very well." \
"I'm sure Miss Collins will do
very well,” Roberta agreed, "but I
want to see Miss Miller Just the
same, cun you fell me where
she Is?”
Mr. Benz also appraised Roberta,
and lie hesitated before he spoke
again.
Roberta saw the hesitation. Sbe
gave Miss Collins her shopping list.
"Charge and send, please." And
she added her name and address.
Mr. Benz was a young man with
practical dreams of a little busi-
ness of his own some day, and in
preparation he had made a care-
ful study of Blackman’s carriage
trade. He riffled through the list
of Suttons he kept in his head and
placed Roberta Instantly. Born
Beacham. oil; married Sutton, pop-
per. Tycoon blood. Don't stall
When he spoke It was In a discreet
whisper.
“If I may speak to you privately,
Mrs. Sutton. The situation is some-
what unusual."
Roberta gathered up her bag. If
they had fired Miss Miller, she was
going to do something about it.
* * *
IkESSY and Beulah followed her
down the aisle. Bessy plainly
agog and Beulah in the same state
but not showing It. Mr. Benz was
waiting for them at the main door.
He Indicated that his Information
was private, and he and Roberta
moved out of earshot.
“In deference to the elderly
ladies," he explained. “A regrettable
situation. Miss Miller is unfortu-
nately dead."
A slow pain took possession of
Robei ta's heart. Dead, site thought,
and I never did any of the things
I meant to do. That poor girl,
alone in that dreadful place she
was moving to. "When?" she asked.
I believe, let me see, several
weeks ago, before Thanksgiving.
We were not informed directly,
mean there was no family in-
volved. But we have other employes
they told us. They wanted permis-
sion to open her locker and remove
such possessions as were left, the
shoes for wearing behind the coun-, I18ures nice Rita Hav
ei, the extia umbrella, and the worth «r Ginger Rogers ofrnm.fr
ike. We valued Miss Miller highly need no further advice.’With that
and were sorry to-to lose her/’'and shorthand they can’t help £u!
1IOLLYWOOD, July 23—(UJ!)—
x 1 Producer-director Sylvan Simon
says stenographers—male or female
—have the best chance to become a
success In Hollywood.
The secret of becoming a major
or minor league Hollywood genius
he explained, is nimble fingers.
Being a steno is the way to learn
all about making pictures—from
script to final product,” the dapper
cigar-smoking director said. “It's
a strategic position. Prom stenog-
rapher to writer, director or pro-
ducer is just a series of steps."
In case you think Simon is just
talking through his cigar smoke,
Stephens college learned from Its
alumnae In a recent survey that
the road to success is smoothest
hi any field with a knowledge of
typing and stenography. When de-
grees In triple-domed subjects
couldn't open doors, the college
found, Gregg’s shorthand could.
Was Simon once a stenographer’
Well, no.
He used radio announcing as his
opening wedge to show business.
Then he was a combination office
boy and talent test director In the
New York office of a Hollywood
studio. He was wafted west by a
vagrant breeze and with a mind
like a sponge picked up the lore
of directing* Today lie is making
"I Love Trouble" at Columbia with
Francliot Tone and Janet Blair.
The fact that he never officially
was a stenographer has not nul-
lified Simon's advice, according to
Blinon.
I took up shorthand and typing
when I was directing shorts." he
said. "I know the know-how about
pothooks and the keyboard, and
I've noticed that nothing goes on
in a studio without a stenographer
around to take notes or type ud
material.” 1
One friend of Simon's, a suc-
cessful corporation lawyer with an
itch to be a director, took the advice
and got a Stenographer's job. To-
day he is a first assistant director.
Next, he'll be a director.
