plane wings, driven by a 100000
horsepower electric motor and de-
signed to produce a windstream of
400 miles per hour, are one of the
many striking national defense de-
velopments of the Army Air Corps.
The giant fans are being built
to power a new high-speed wind
tunnel at the Air Corps materiel
division laboratories, Wright Field,
Ohio. Nothing like them is in ex-
istence and their design and con-
struction necessitated much re-
search.
No existing propeller plant poses
seS the facilities for making steel
blades of the size required and all
such plants are overburdened with
defense orders for airplane pro-
pellers. The fans, accordingly, are
being built of wood at Wright Field
by a crew of 36 carpenters and pat
tern makers, under supervision of
Maj. Edward M Robbins, Air Corps,
chief of the engineering shops.

volve at a rate of 300 revolutions

riculture in order to release farm

so in SO different occupations, pri-
marily those related to war indus

the report said. The technical
schools and the industries are CO.
ordinated in a nation wide training
program.
Strikes Eliminated
WdSC ldlCo dllu a IOill-
plete control of remuneration are
integral aspects of the compulsory
labor service.
The exercise of the compulsory
powers of transfer and of the con-
ditions of work and remuneration
includes the elimination of strikes
and work stoppages. Apparently
the existence of long hours, an
increasing rate of casualties in in
dustry and rising consumer prices
preceded the introduction of COM
pulsory control of labor supply by
the imperial order of 1885,"
Although Gen. CroWder issued the
famous work or fight" order, the
United States in the World War
crisis took no labor control steps
remotely akin in stringency to what
Germany and Japan and even Eng
land have resorted to. Migration of
workers to points of employment
satisfied in large degree the need
for war labor. The inspiration the
World War gave to colored migra-
ton from the South to northern
industrial centers provided the
country with a social-ecopomic her
itage from which it has not yet re-
covered.
The committee, pointing a moral
for contemporary times, holds that
this sort Of migration has unhealthy
after-effects. The report says:
This migration tof the World
War; created many problems of
housing and health in the already
overcroWded northern industrial
certers. In general, needed hous-
ing was postponed during the war,
at the same time that migrants
were crowding the already packed
industrial centers.
"Migrations which were en-
couraged in a period of labor Short
age became source of friction in
the postwar labor market"
II the World War had gone on,
it is the opinion of the committee
that this Government would have
instituted compulsion to deal with
the labor problem.

Defense Topics Head
Program Of Weights
And Measures Farley
Federal, Stote and
LocoI Officials Will
Meet Here in June

With defense problems holding an
important place on the program, the
31st National Conference on
Weights and Measures will be held
at the Mayf1ower Hotel on June 3
to 6, the Department of Commerce
announced today. The conference
will be attended by Federal, State
and local weights and measures
officials and by manufacturers of
weighing and measuring apparatus.
Since 1905, when the first of
these meetings was held under the
sponsorship of the National Bureau
of Standards, weights and measures
officials have met nearly every year
to discuss their problems and do
what they can to encourage uni
formity in weights and measures
laws and regulations. DR.. Lyman
J. Briggs, director of the Bureau of
Standards, is president of the con-
ference.
Among the topics on this years
program are the part of the weights
and measures officer in the defense
program; how to direct the per-
sonnel of the weights and measures
department; procedure for testing
apparatus used to measure liquefied
petroleum, the bottled gas now
widely used for cooking in country
houses, and in the West as a fuel
for trucks and tractors, and the
manufacture of precision glassware.
Committee reports will cover
specifications and tolerances, weights
and measures legislation and the
methods of sale of such commodities
as bronze paints, fish. -four, meats,
paper and turpentine.
One session of the conference has
been set aside for the informal
consideration Of topics not listed
on the formal program. Among
the subjects proposed for discussion
are the sales of meat in package
form; factors affecting performance
characteristics of gasoline and oil
meters and the sale of petroleum
products by measure and weight.
The actions of the conference
are not binding. but its conclusions
are generally recognized as rep
resenting opinion among weights
and measures experts. Many of
the findings of past conferences have
been incorporated later in laws
and regulations.

Political Gift Report
With Tax Return
Urged by Hatch
Forms Would Be Public
To Permit Check, Deter
Big Contributions
BY the Associated Press.

.
Senator Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico said yesterday he had draft
ed an amendment to his clean
politics" law which would require
: individuals to report in their in
come tax returns all funds received
or disbursed for political purposes.
Under his proposal special form
asking the data on political con-
tributions would be sent out with
the income tax blanks each year.
Any contributor to or recipient of
political funds who failed to make
out the supplemental form or made
it out fraudulently would be sub
ject to the same Federal fines and
Jail sentences provided for income
tax evaders.
Senator Hatch said the supple
mental politics forms" would be
made public and declared that this
in itself should deter large con-
tributions. In addition. he said, the
arrangement would make it easy to
check violations of any maximum
which Congress might fix on ex-
penditures by central party organ
izations.
The New Mexico Senator said he
would confer soon with Senator Gill
lette, Democrat, of Iowa, who head
ed last years Senate Committee
Investigating Campaign Expendi-
lures, regarding a general bill to
tighten statutes concerning polit-
ical practices.
Senator Gillette told reporters
that he, too, was working on new
legislation under which candidates
and political parties would have to

ignated fiscal agents.

YOUTHS OBTAIN
 SECURITY CARDS
Employers Warned Pos. session No Indication of
 Eligibility Under Law

Having a social security account card Is no indication that the holder is legally employable un- der child labor relations, Robert E, Austin, manager of the Social Security Board office at l0e Bank street, Waterbury pointed out to- day. Reports reaching the Social Security Board indicate that some young people are offering these cards as evidence that they ar0 employable and. in few isolated cases, that employers are accept- ing them, he stated, although ln fact social security account card has no significance as to a ohild's eligibility for employment.
 "T'he responsibility of an em- ployer under federal and state laws regarding tho hiring of mi. norS Is in no way affected by the fact that the applicant for work may hold . social security ac- count card" Mir. Austin explained. This card" he said, "only means that the holder has had Q social security wage account set up for him under the federal old-age and survivors insurance system, The account is for tho purpose of de- termining the insurance benefits to which he or his family will be entitled at his retirement or in case of his death. Eligibility for employment under child labor .eg. ulations Is not required n order to obtain Q social security account card, although we do not cncour~ age applications until the indlvid- ual Is ready to seek work"
