Split Dollar
Bill Gets Man
In Trouble
Talk about splitting hairs, the'
Sitka police recently jailed a 19
year-old youth who has been en
i gaged in the gentle art of split
: ting dollar bills.
He is Tom O'Brien, who has
ben working for the Siems Drake
Puget Sound construction firm
on the defense base at Sitka.
O’Brien is being held on a
charge of drunken and disorder
I ly conduct, but he is reported to
have attempted to pass several
dollar bills which had been neat
ly spit. At the time of his arrest,
some of these split bills were
found on his person.
By splitting the bills, O'Brien
| was able to fold them with the
| blank side in so that each split
j portion of the bill gave the ap
pearance of p complete paper
dollar.

Underground Uity
Lies Under Famous
Rock of Gibraltar
For months past troops have
been working incessantly day
and night on the task of enlarg
ing and completing the network
of tunnels that honeycomb the
famous Rock of Gibraltar. Can
adians are among the troops who
are working three eight-hour
shifts throughout the twenty
four hour day including Sun
days.
States a Reuter's correspond
ent in the Manchester Guardian,
who had made a tour through
some of the miles of tunnels, “I
saw how masses of rock had been
blasted out to make room for
barracks and everything neces
sary for thousands of men to
live and fight for a long time. I
inspector one large three-storey
barracks in a huge cavern in the j
heart of- the rock. I saw hospit
als fully equipped with operat
ing theatres, X-ray apparatus,
and even electric fires.
This "city” also contains el
ectric power stations, well-fitted
washrooms and cook-houses, at
least one of which is capable of
feeding one thousand men at a
time. Vast quantities of oil and
water are stored in subterranean
tanks.
EQUALITY URGED
FOR NEGROES
President Roosevelt has taken
s eps toward assuring equal treat
merit of negroes ami other m.n
ority groups in the civil service.
I; was disclosed that Mr. Roose
velt had written to Chairman
Mark Ethridge of the Fair Em
ployment Committee of the Of
fice of Pr iduction Management,
announcing that hi' was comply
ing with the committee’s recom
mendations of government non
d crimination.
Letter to Department Heads
The President told Ethridge he
had sent a letter requesting im
mediate action regarding this
subject to the heads of all de
partments and independent agen
cies in the civil service. The text
of the letter, as released by the
President, read:
“It has come to my attention
that there is in the federal es
tablishment a lack of uniform
ity, and possibly some lack of
sympathetic attitude toward the
problems of minority groups,
particularly those relating to the
employment and assignment of
negroes in the federal civil ser
vice.
Thorough Examination Made
“With a view to improving the
situation, it is my desire that all
departments and independent es
tablishments in the federal gov
ernment make a thorough exam
ination of their personnel pol
icies and work to the end that
they may be able to answer me
that in the federal service the
doors of employment are open to
all loyal and qualified workers
regard ess of creed, race or na
t.onality."
