Churchill’s Visit
To Washington
And Canada
WASHINGTON—Senator Bur
ton K. Wheeler of Montana does
n't know it, but he was paid a
high tribute by Winston Church
ill.
After his speech at the joint
session of Congress, the British
Prime Minster shook hands with
Congressmen as they filed past
him. To Senators Clark, Nye. and
LaFollette, Churchill was court
eous but made no special com
ment.
But when Wheeler was present
ed, Churchill stopped him. shook
his hand warmly and said:
“This us a genuine pleasure to
me, sir. I’ve long wanted to meet
you. This is one of the pleasant
est moments of this very happy
f-cession.”
Smiling broadly, W heeler
thanked Churchill cordially and
moved on. Later during the con
gressional luncheon at which
Wheeler was not present, the
Prime Minister again referred to
his delight in meeting the Mon
tana senator.
I like him,” Churchill said.
“He is a fighting man. I have
been in 14 political fights, won
eight and lost six. Once I was
beaten three times in 18 months.
I respect and admire fighting
men even if they are against me.
"In these troubled times we
should welcome good figh’ers, re
pardless of the differences of the
past. After the war broke out
some of my friends wanted to go
after Chamberlain and his groun,
vliu tried to appease the
Naz s. They called them Munich
i rs. I had opposed this group as
violently as anyone in Britain,
but 1 was against any repris
als. I told my friends that the
Chamberlain group had tried to
do their duty in the best light
they saw it and that now there
was a job to be done fighting
the Nazis, not one another.
“I told them that when the
present fights with the past, the
future is hopeless."
Churchillania
Churchill ate heartily of tur
key, stuffing, cranberry sauce
and mashes potatoes at his lunch
eon with congressional leaders,
remarked on the excellence of
the cheese served with the apple
pie for dessert. It was a snappy
cheese, made in Wisconsin. While
received the congratulations of
senators and representatives fol
lowing his speech, Churchill sud
denly inquired, “Where’s Senator
Cartel Glass?" Told that the 83
year-old Virginian had been un
avoidably detained, Churchill
said. “Oh. I’m sorry. I hoped
very much to have the pleasure
of meeting him." . . . Most ner
vous man in the Senate during
Churchill’s speech was Lord Mali
fax. British ambassador, who
seemed worried about his chief.
Calmest man was Russian Am
bassador Litvinoff, who sat in
the same row with Halifax, three
seats away. Litvinoff came out of
his shell and applauded vigorous
Jy when Churchill spoke of the
valian fight of the Chinese ag
ainst the Japanese. He also grin
ned broadly when the Prime Min
ister ridiculed Mussolini.
Churchill’s Routine
During his Washington visit
Winston Churchill, aged 67, am
azed the American public by his
vitality. But still more he amazed
White House aides who watched
ihe odd routine of his personal
life.
“Winnie" Churchill did not
heed the Ben Franklin maxim
about early to bed and early to
rise. His day did not begin un
til 10 o’clock in the morning. At
that hour he wakened and plung
ed into the task of reading the
papers, dictating memos, and see
ing intimate advisors.
At 1 o’clock he ate a tremen
1 rious lunch—with champagne. Af
! ter lunch came a siesta until four
i o’clock. After that, he worked
: furiously until eight. Into that
four-hour period he packed more
than most people can accomplish
in a full eight-hour day.
But ’’Winnie's” day had just be
gun. He drank a highball with
dinner, and was ready for a long
! evening of conference and read
j ing and writing, working thru
most of the night. His associates
fell away by midnight, and for
the rest of the time, Churchill
, enjoyed the deep concentration
that comes from working when
the rest of the town is asleep.
His “day” ended at 4 in the
morning, when he retired, to
sleep until 10.

New Draft Registration
The new 18-to-64 draft regis
tration wil start in February. Un
like the original registration, it
will not be done in a day.
Because of the tremendous job
of handling 24.000,000 men who
come under the new law', regis
tration may be extended over a
period of weeks and will be by
age groups.
In the first draft, with the aid
of 1.000.000 volunteer workers,
17,500,000 men were registered
on one day. October 16, 1940. To
avoid swamping the 6.500 local
draft boards. Selective Service
chiefs have now decided to adopt
a split-up ”R Day" system, ex
tending over a period of weeks.
When the registraton has been
completed. Selective Service fil
es will contain the names of 42,
0 0,000 mon available for mili
tary duty.
OPM Efficiency
OPM chiefs are very proud of
their latest internal reorganiza
tion centralizing control directly
in the hands of Directors Knud
sen and Hillman.
It is contended that this will
eliminate much rod tape and
speed up administrative process
es. However, newsmen have had
difficulty fathoming the intrica
cies of the new set-up and one
reporter asked an OPM big-shot
. to explain its operation.
“Well, under the new system,”
said the official, “all industrial
branch chiefs report direct to
Knudsen-Hillman instead of to
their divisions chiefs as was pre
viously dune.”
"What happens if Knudsen
Hillman can’! decide what should
be done?’
“They ca l in the division
chief.”
“Oh,” said the reporter, by this
time more confused than ever.
“Instead of the branch chief con
| suiting h s division chief before
' seeing Knudsen-Hillman, he now
sees them first and they call in
i the division chief."
“That's right. See the amount
of time saved?"
“No, I don’t,” said the news
man. “And neither do you.”

Round by Drew Pearson and

Alaska Secretary
w
Announces Rules
As To Philippines
JUNEAU. Jan. — In view o
the situation created by the tem
porary enemy occupat on of im
portant parts of the Philippine
Islands. the Treasury Depart
ment has issued a Circular call
ing attention that Ph lippine as
sets have been automatically
frozen under the December 26
1941 amendment to the freezing
orders, it was announced by Sec
retary of Ala.ka, E L. Bartlett.
The new circular prescribed
that for purposes of the freezing
orders the Philippine Islands
should be regarded as if they
were a separate block'-d country
and that January 1. 1942 sh-ou’d
be regarded as the effective dat:’
of the freezing regulations as ap
plied to the Philippines. This
was done to facilitate the admin
istration of freezing control ov
er Philippine asset and also to
provide the public with specific
standards to guide their compli
ance with the freezing regula
tions relating to the Philippines.
For all practical • purposes this
had the same effect as though
freezing control had been specif
ically extended to the Philip
pine Islands on January 1, 1942.
The freezing restrictions will
not affect Philippine citizens
within the United States or with
in the generally l censed trade
area.
New Income Tax
Return Forms
TACOMA — Mailing of forms
to Washington and Alaska tax
payers for use in making their
1941 individual income tax re
turn,? began January 5. accord
ing to Collector Clark Squire in
Tacoma.
Each person who last year fil
ed a 1940 return on the small
form (1040-A) will receive a let
ter containing tl*a new optiontA
1040-A form and also the larger
1040 form, with instruction sheet
attached. Duplicates will b? fur
nshed so that the taxpayer may
make a copy of his return for his
own record.
Persons who gross income for
1941 is not more rhn $.'3000 and
is received as compensation for
personal services, dividends, in
terest. annuities or royalties,
may use the optional 1040-A
form. A married couple whose
gross income is from these sourc
es and does not exceed $6,000,
may use the small forms, each
reporting one-half of the com
munity income.
Persons who filed last year on
Form 1040 (the large form,
which was used by individuals in
business and by those having
gross income of $5,000 or more in
1940) will receive Form 1040.
Many taxpayers who hereto
fore have used Form 1040 may
wish to use the optional Form
1040-A for reporting their 1941
income, provided their income is
such as to entitle them to use
that form. The letter they receive
will not include the optional
form and they musl obtain it
from an internal revenue office,
either by calling or writing for
it.
Failure to receive in income
tax form is not reasonable excuse
for not filing on time. Return;

JAPS NOT GUIDED
BY HITLER’S ORDERS
BERKELEY, Calif., Jan. -Ch
nese political science professor
Dr. Wing Mah of the University
of California doubts that Adoli
Hitler is dictating the actions ol
1 the Japanese government. Saic
Dr. Mah:
“Japan is acting in her own ir
terests and on her own initiative
“She is merely utilizing the pc
litical and military forces in Ei
rope created by the German ag
gression.”
Dr. Mah believes the Japanese
struck solely because they be
lieved their opportunity to gair
domination of the Pacific had an
rived.
