Washington, Nov. 7-(P)-Further

excerpts of his annual report made
public today. The goal of in the
economic field. he said, should be the
elimination Of waste, if American
standards Of living are to advance.
He explained that by waste elm
nation he meant not an attack upon
individual conduct or single plant
methods in any industry, but whole
array of activities that lead to attain
ment of single end-increased ma
terial productive and more direct
distribution of output.
The betterment of rail transporta-
ton, increased use of water resources
for electric power, Exclamation and
common carriage, and enlargement of
the use Of electric power, were among
the detectives laid down by the COM
merce department five vars ago as
well as the reduction of manufacture
ing wastes by establishment of ma
tional standards, encoura cement Of
pure and applied scientific research,
and development of cooperative agri-
cultural marketing methods.

"These figures" he said, demon
