Remarkable Youth Record

B hind the Presidents request fir anoth r S60,000,000 for the National Youth Administration to train skilled workers for defense industries is a remarkable record of results.
 Between last December and My first, l49,904 IVA students secur d jobs in factories and shops. This month another 45,000 will step into defense jobs, and IVA officials estimate that by June 30 more than 250,000 train ed workers will have been turn ed out. The new budg-t is for continuing this program in the next fiscal year.
 The IVA has 5,307 shops thru out the country training workers in drafting, plumbing, carpenter ing, welding, foundry, radio, el- ectrlcal, aVlatlon, machine tools, automotive and many other vital crafts. At pres,nt l53,29 stu dents are receiving shop school ing while another HOOPS are working on construction projects and l39,758 in clerical and pro- fessional projects.
 To keep in close touch with the needs of industry, IVA ad- ministrator Aubr-y Williams has an advisory council made up of the operating heads of number of the biggest plants in the coun- try.

India--War Factor

India has almost limitlesS man power, much of it splendid fight ing material. In the last war she put l,500,000 men in the field. and the present Indian Army has al ready passed half million. But the fact that the colonial author ities were able to outfit and equip the strong British forces just land ed in Iraq without help from the mother country reveals how far India has developed as an indus trial factor in the war.
 We think of India as a land of peasants scarcely touched by in- dustrialiSm. Yet India today is producing 90fc of all war sup plies necessary to her armies and will soon be f-Sufficient. Her 600 states have the potential re- sources to out-produce Japan. Al ready her ordinance factories are pouring out all the rifles, ma chine guns and artillery required by existing troop formations, with exports to spare for Aus tralia. Her shipyards are launch ing torpedo boats as well as arm cd sloops. Even tanks are rolling of the assembly lines, though engines must still be supplied from England and the United States. American machine tools are expected to remedy this de- ficiency. The annual output of mechanically propelled vehicles has scared to 32,000 and is expect ed to double. A plane factory in Southern India will come into production next year. The base of all this activity is the Indian steel industry, with huge ore re- sources and one plant alone that ranks among the worlds first l6.
 Even the political situation seems better. Volunteering has in creased beyond the capacity to absorb it. Nazi victories in Flu rope have not broken the Indian home front, but instead have serv ed as a cohesive force. As In- dia's industrial power develops she will prove pillar of strength to Britain.

PAGE PAUL BUNYAN

Many fabulous tales are relat- ed in the cloakrooms when mem bers of Congress reminice, but Representative Warren Magnu- son, ,brainy young Washingtonion, can top them all. He claims he is the only man in the world who ever went to the Arctic Circle in a Palm Beach suit.
 The strange odyssey occurred in July, 1888, when plans for the super-highway that is to be built between the U. S. and Alaska were in the embryo stage. Mag nuson was chairman of the com mission picked by the State De- partment to meet with Canadian engineers to determine the best route through British Columbia.
 One day Magnuson got an ur- gent wire from the Canadians asking if he could conn, immed- lately for a conference at Prince George, B. C. Not waiting to change a Palm Beach suit he was wearing, Magnuson grabbed the first plane, planning to stop off at his home in Seattle and pick up some heavier clothes.
 However, the plane reached Seattle several hours late and, still in summer togs, he had to grab another plane immediately for Prince George in order to ar rive on time. There, to his great amazement, Magnuson learned that an air trip over the frigid Yukon territory, with stops as far north as Old Crow on the Arc tic Circle had been planned by his hosts.
 q had no choice but to go, clad as l was,' recalls Magnuson. Tt was warm enough in the plane and I wore a heavy lea ther jacket when We landed. But by the time we reached Dawson in the Yukon my Palm Beach suit was so torn and dirty that I bought pair of khaki pants for $1.98."
 Magnuson jokingly put in claim for the pants with the State Department, but is still waiting for his $1.98.

Memo To Defeat ists Of America

In the years of the depression we had defeatists who told us our industrial plant was overbuilt; that we could never make use of all our productive capacity.
 In the crisis today we have defeatis;s who t-ll us that Am erican industry can never over take Germany's head start in ar1naments in time to win the war.
 Let all these gloomy men take not of an item in the report of Irving Olds, chairman of the Unit ed States Steel Corporation, to the company's annual meeting of shareholders. He remarked that the steel-making capacity of this one company is grzater than that of all Germany as at present con stituted.
 Yet the steel corporation com prises only one-third of Ameri- ca's total steel capacity. And the corporation, like the who'll steel industry, is working at capacity

THE WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
By Dr W Pearson and Robert s. Allen

WASHINGTON-It hasn't been announced but the Roosevelt cab met has new member.
 He is Mayor Fiorello LaGuard- ia, Director of Civil Defense. The dynamic little N.cw Yorker at tended his first Cabinet meeting recently and will participate in all future weekly sessions.
 A veteran of 37 years in public office, LaGuardia is one of the abl st administrators in the coun- try. With the exception of Presi- dent Roosevelt, LaGuardia knows more about governmental affairs that any member of the Cabinet. also has more drive and capacity. By all odds he is the moist exp r. fenced and resourceful executive the President has appointed in long time.
 Apparently deslrous of taking full advantage of this, the Pr si- dent directed LaGuardia to at tend the weekly Cabinet delibera tionS, although he does not have tltular cabinet status.
 Some White Hous. advisers have long advocated that Defense heads attend Cabinet sessions for a closer integration of policy making with the actual execution of policy. They have in mind OPM Chiefs Knuds.n, Hillman, Biggers, Stettinius and Nelson, and Price Regulator Henderson.
 NOTE:-On his first day in of fee LaGuardia foored officials who conferred with him about taking over certain offices for his new agency, by telling them: Just lave the old furniture that's there. It's good enough. We don't need any new stuff" Such lack of swank is almost unheard of in the Defense set-up.

Un- able to use it for mon y. and with more and more gold piling up at Fort Knox, we have finally sent some 10 the British to be used for buying up Arab leaders in Iraq and Arabia. Paper money doesn't talk in those countries, and gold speaks much louder than silver. Senator Pepper of Florida is having dispute with his good friend Harold Ickes over political ticks" and deer in Flor ida. Pepper wants to kill all the deer on the Seminole Indian re- servation because they spread cat tie ticks. But Ickes says the deer belong to the Indians, and they have a right to keep them. Also he doubts whether they really do have ticks. Frank Grille, inter national secretary treasurer of the CIO United Rubber Workers, has denounced the American Peace Mobilization and National Labor Committee Against War as lefist controlled. Grillo is the only prominent CIO leader to raise his voice against these so-called isolationist organizations.
