companies, it's working out only
TO a very limited degree,
The greatest need is for plants

Cooke thinks, but other plants

Van Wagner
Talks 1t OUer

Gov. Murray y. Van Wag-
oner. himself an engineer, was
about convinced of il while here
10 days ago. lie talked with
Taub and others on this sub
ieCt. When he returned 20
Michigan. he left behind him the
impression that he intended 10
set such a plan in motion there.
Organized on state Wids
basis, the Michigan production
pool Wouid Serve both as a
clearing house for Information
as 10 the states productive ia
eiiitiss and Information as TO
"a hat the government needs
Whieh might be made in Mich
igGn. The Michigan production
organization wouId also serUe az
a middle man" betwsen the
goUernnent and Michigan indus
tries, and betwesn big industry
and smoH industry.
But as s. r. Henry of the
iTolan committee panel pointed
out after Taub and Cooke had
finished:
Radical departures from
basic governmental policies must
willingly be adopted by pro-
curemcnt officers before any
great progress may be made. +"

Better FOHOW-Up
System Needed

Cooke thought, too. the army
and navy procurement people
should have a better follow-up
system.
Accustomed TO giving orders
and having them obeyed implic-
lilly under penalty Of possible
court-martial, they don't seem to
know. he suggests. that the COM
plexities of production are such
that in any plant making any
given product for the services,
a quick shift of plan might be
required to get the work out on
time.
Yet there's no one around 10
say 20. r." and to depart in
even the slightest degree from
service specifications is TO risk
rejection of the product.
Local, state and regional pro-
duction organisations are com
ing into being oil Deer the eoun-
try. Cooke remarked in answer
to a recognized need.
And this, in part, may prove
the cure for Miehigan's biggest
headache, in the reodjustment
Of her ciUiiidn production fdeiIi-
ties TO the requirements Of the
defense program.

It's q Natural

Plywood bodies for air trans
ports? Michigan furniture fac
tories use plywood. Michigan
lumber companies make IL
It's a natural for Michigan
industry.
Taub admits that the stove in
dustry, using a punch press and
sheet metal, might have trouble
adjusting its equipment TO de-
Tense r equirem ents. But
couldn't skilled press-shop engi-
neers find tank parts they could
make?
Taub thinks the Way TO build
a tank, anyway, Is NOT TO build
a tank arsenal. >. Let the bits
and pieces" manufacturer make
parts and let ChrysIer and
others assemble them.
Even a Upper factory. closed
down because there's no more
rustless metal for zippers, can
make bits and pieces, Taub
suggested.
Engineer Morris Cooke saw
as the principal obstacle 10 be
overcome, the prejudice of big
industry against farming out
work TO little industry q. a
little like J. u. Morgan sharing
his work with a country banker,
or John u. Rockefeller Jr.. farm
ing out a Standard oil job TO a
local gas station.

DETROIT SUNDAY TIMES PICTORIAL REVIEW
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1941-03-20
Senator Says North
Bank is Certainty

after four days of wrangling,
Benton county got the North Bank
Road extension appropriation, !"
Senator G. l.. Stinson told men,
bers of the Chamber of commerce
this noon. "The legislature appro-
priated and definitely earmarked
$50, 900 for the road from Pater-
son to Kennewick," he said. while
it is true the bill authorizing the
road did not get through, in spite
of the terrific battle we put up, the
bill appropriating the money did
get through and we are of the OPP
inion that Governor Langlie will not
put his veto upon it," he said.
While the senator appeared to be
convinced that the money would
be spent for the road, there is con-
siderable doubt expressed by those
with experience that the highway
department will use the money on
a road that is not authorized, in
spite of the appropriation.
The senator thought Benton
county Jared pretty well from the
sessions action, considering the
road appropriation, the special
port district bill, irrigation law i'm
provementS and the extensions OF
tax payment periods and the mar
keting bill affecting spuds, toma-
toes and other farm products.

Hover Boys Take
Full Month to
Come from Vichy
Born at Hover, they spend
youth with grandpar-
ents in France, now UNI
able to. speak English.

It took a full month for Duane
and Robert Ashby to make the
trip from Vichy, France to the
home of their father in Hover. The
trip was uneventful from the stand
point of war scares, although for
a distance they were conveyed and
their route took them via Bermuda.
The boys, nineteen and twenty,
sons of Clell Ashby of Hover, are
unable to speak English, although
they were born in Hover. Their par
ents were married as result Of a
World War ! romance, their moth
er being a native of France. She
returned with her husband following
the war, to his home at Hover. Here
the sons were born, but while they
were still very young, the family
returned to France, where the boys
were left in the care of their grand
parents.
Both have been working in bak-
cries in France, hence both were
more than interested in seeing the
local bakery conducted by "A. T. Be-
lair, also of French parentage. Thus
they were able to converse freely and
each told the other of the strange
things of the business as conducted
here and in Europe. In Europe, the
boys say, a baker bakes either bread
or pastry, but not both as is the
custom in this country. Materials,
they said were getting more and
more scarce and the quality poorer
and poorer. y
Butter, especially, was scarce, each
ration card allowing but two little
pats of butter per person each week.
Asked who was going to win the
war, the boys, with sly look bold
ly said that Hitler couldn't win. Mr..
Belair, who asked the question said
that because of the peculiar inflec-
ton, uplifted shoulder shrug and
the sly look, he couldn't tell
whether they really. meant it, or
whether they were just being diplo-
matte. ~~

Local Grape Culture
Has World Cheated

Grape culture in the Kennewick
district has just got all the rest
of the world cheated, from every
standpoint, Larry NewSome told XII
wanians Tuesday noon. He had
recently returned from visit to the
grape growing sections in the east,
where he went to find the newest
wrinkles in juice manufacture for
the local plant.
Grapes Of the varieties used in
the manufacture of Juice produce at
about two tons to the acre in the
east, Mr.. Newsome stated, while six
tons is the average production To-
cally, with some exceptional yields
Of three times that figure.
Processing methods in the east,
he said, were not on the large scale
as practiced in California and on
the whole he figured that the Ken
newick plant would compare fav-
orably with anything he saw on his
trip.
