Special to The Chronicle.
Washington, Feb. 25.—Both politi
cal parties have issued statements
that politics must be disregarded in
the 1942 congressional elections, but
there is little doubt here that pa the
time approaches there will be more
and more of the usual name-calling
and mud-slinging concerning sub
jects not directly related to the war.
It is not expected that the Republi
cans will criticize the President’s war
program directly—but they will make
plenty of capital of such material as
the recent appointment of a dancer
pal of Mrs. Roosevelt’s, Miss Mayris
Chaney, and a movie actor, Melvyn
Douglas, to positions in Office of Ci
vilian Defense.
This was evident following the in
troduction by Republican Represen
tative Leland Ford of California of
an amendment restricting the appro
priation of funds to OCD for physi
cal training and entertainment work.
Before the vote the wires here were
kept hot by Republican leaden to get
party members in Washington to
vote against the amendment and by
Democratic leaders to get their men
here to vote for it The Democrats
believe the whole issue was brought
up to embarrass the administration.
The, “party” significance of the
amendment was emphasized by Rep
resentative Ford himself when he
showed his unconcealed pleasure over
toe opportunity to ambarrasa the ad
ministration by saying: “Win, draw
or lose, It will put i hell of a lot of
them on the spot”
Although there was some question
in the minds of members of both
parties whether there was any ne
cessity for expenditures _for a di
vision of this kind, it was evident
that the attention given to the sub
ject was all out of proportion to its
importance. It was primarily involv
ed with a salary of $4,$00 for Miss
Chaney to be in charge of a physical
fitness program. Mr. Douglas said
that he had offered his services
“without compensation.”
Mr. Douglas defended the job as
signed to him — that of forming a
clearing house for utilizing the tal
ents of actors, writers, radio stars,
etc.—by saying:
“They want to know, ’what can we
do? How we can serve?’ The people
of the entertainment world can con
tribute their talents and abilities to
the Civilian Defense program. They
can dramatize defense; they can
dramatize the war effort; they can
bring home to all communities all
over the land the meaning of Amer
ica at war.
“The personal attack upon me has
broadened into a ^generalized attack
on a fundamental issue: whether or

the government was planning to
make use of this mammoth building
for office space. The fire is expected
to delay completion many months.
Sihce Donald Nelson has been in
charge of the war production board,
there has been a general feeling here
that pur war production program
now is making rapid headway. Red
tape is being eliminated, incompe
tent executives are being replaced
and all forms of war work are being
put in charge of the men best equip
ped to do the job. Many business
men known to be authorities on dif
ferent phases of the war program,
have agreed to give up lucrative
jobs, at Mr. Nelson’s request, in or
der to go to Washington to contrib
ute their ability to the all-out war
effort. \ ^
