CLEVELAND, June IL. - In

ton calculates the present COM
pick, mechanical warfare re-
quires ID men to maintain just one
soldier on the firing line. In 1913
only five men backed UP every

the British in the first World War
but limited factor until the clos
ing stages. now is vital. And the
airplane's long-distance bomb
carrying capacity is 80 times that
of the last great conflict.
Therefore. the association cal
culates, ''the real contest today is
not on the firing line but on the
factory production line where
defense equipment is built.
THE great army of men behind
the army at the front today in
cludes steelmakers, shipbuilders,
metal workers, farmers, parts as
semblers, inspectors and long
list of others. But none is OF

country's operators of machine
