Roosevelt to Buy Immobilized Ships in American Ports
WASHINGTON, April 13— (U.P.)—Congress steps into full stride again this week with legislators, under dwindling pressure for a ban on defense strikes, preparing to act swiftly on legislation authorizing President Roosevelt to purchase foreign ships immobilized in American ports.
Settlement of the Ford Motor company strike and other disputes retarding defense production, sharply changed the labor situation during the Easter holiday lull. There was a general disposition in both houses against acting to prohibit defense strikes unless existing federal conciliation and mediation machinery proved ineffective. UNDER EXAMINATION This situation, however, is to remain under constant examination by legislative committees. The house military affairs committee will resume its inquiry into the progress of the defense program on Tuesday. It is expected to question OPM purchasing director Donald Nelson or J. B. Mathews, chief investigator of the house committee on un-American activities.

Spring Inspires Trojans; Popular Song Written
“We’re in, Flynn!”
This or a similar expression will just about size up the musical careers of two Trojans, Jack Naye, senior, and Jack Groton, junior.
Obeying the creative urge of j spring, Groton put down on paper a fleeting tune that had been buzzing around in his head. Naye, no doubt motivated by the same forces, sharpened his pencil and produced some lyrics. Result — “What Am I Going to Do” was born.
The punch line of this Cinderella story lies in the fact that these amateur song writers had their tune introduced by Glenn Miller and his 17-piece band before some 600 dancing couples at the recent
Junior Prom. Miller had a special arrangement made for the number which he played several times during the evening.
Commenting upon their meteoric rise to fame, Groton remarked, “How about that? This song writing is a breeze—especially if you have Clark Liddell working with you, doing all the contact work. There is an unconfirmed rumor afoot that the Merry Macs are interested in our first venture. We’re waiting—and hoping.”
“Even if the whole thing falls through, I can at least tell my grandchildren that I sang with Miller’s band," Naye grinned, referring to his unrehearsed, last-minute, emergency vocal rendition of their song at the dance.
