o. P. N. Plan Urged
To Put Small Plants
|0n Arms Production
| Mead Says Program
Would Speed Output
Of Tanks and Planes
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Mead. Democrat, of New
York proposed today vastly increased
powers for the o. P MS division Of
contract distribution in order TO
bring thousands of small plants into
production for the Nations arma-
ment program.
The New Yorker asserted in
statement that with sufficient au-
thority the contract distribution di-
vision, headed by Floyd Odlum, could
bring an additional $4,000 small
plants into defense production.
He urged that Mr.. Odlum's dlvl~
sion be given authority to make
loans and grants, to WELD big
stick" on priorities, to require the
breaking up of big contracts, to fur
nish technical aid where necessary
and to establish field Offices in every
State and industrial section Of the
country.
Speed Up Production.
Such program. he said, would
accelerate the war production Of
ships, planes, tanks, guns and all
of the necessary and vital equipment
required by our military organiza-
ton. everything ordered for
delivery in 1943 could be delivered
by the end of 1912 if this universal
enlistment Of small business is made
effective
Senator Meade is member of A
special Senate committee studying
the problems of small business.
Office Of Production Management
officials called on vocational schools
| today for an around-the clock pro-
gram of training workers for war in
dustries and, coincidentally, urged
that vital defense plants keep their
machinery humming despite year.
| end inventories.
! Sidney Hillman, associate director
of the o. P. M, asked that voca-
tional institutions place all shop
and training machinery on a "a
hour-day and 7-day-week basis He
said that more than 500 schools
already we're operating on that
/ schedule and added that the ex-
/ isting pool of skilled workers soon
would be entirely absorbed in war
industries.
Knudsen Voices Plea.
From Director General William s.
Knudsen, meanwhile, came another
o. P. NJ. statement that war in
dustries should attempt to avoid
shutdowns for year-end inventories.
Mr. Knudsen added that If any
war industry found it absolutely
necessary" TO shut down for inven-
tory it should take every possible
step to minimize the period of such
shutdown"
In the field of labor, the c. I. o.
said that material shortages were
causing economic dislocations which
would add about 2.500000 persons to
the rolls of the unemployed. That
increase would bring unemployment
to approximately 100000, c. I. O..
statement added.

There were long, low white buildings, which Bill explained were the administration buildings, the canteen and so on. Those houses over there are officers quarters. We call it Officers Row."
 Letters painted just below the top front step on each house gave the name and the rank of the officer who occupied the house.
 How thoughtful" said Martha. Nobody ever rings the wrong bell. Gosh, Bill, wouldn't 1t be wonderful if they gave privates little bungalows?"
 You get the silliest notions! Lots of officers. even, can't get quarters on the post. We're damned. We have Regular Army men, Reservists, and us lowly con- scriptees. The top kick - he's reg ular, of course, been in the Army about a hundred years-has cute little trick of calling us Strip Tease guys"
 You don't look as if you're being mistreated," she couldn't help saying. He looked brown and fit; more handsome than she had ever seen him, really. T think you even sit straighter, dar- ling
 His shoulders were inches above her own, and his hands on the wheel were brown and capable. Some nervous energy which he had always radiated "a Slight restlessness - was gone, and in its place there was a sense of quiet power. Maybe I'm imagining it," she thought. "But he does look so we'll"

 What are the shacks like?"
 See them, over there? Just wooden buildings, quickly con- structed, if you ask me. Tar paper, no paint. Like the CCC camps. Better than the tents, though"
 Wont we be able to - to go somewhere, this afternoon?" She had not expected to stay here in the camp all day.

 Most of the soldiers here, Martha guessed, were younger than Bill. All of them had the tanned, fit look Bill had acquired. The girls were care fully dressed - but she saw one girl in a bright, cheap dress and one girl, sitting in a corner with a man who seemed no different from the other girls man, had carelessly thrown mink coat across the back of her chair.

 Bill came back very soon. He was waving his pass and saying jubilantly, Honey, a whole after noon and evening. I don't have to be back until 10 o'clock"

CHAPTER XI

The little watch on Martha Mar shalrS wriSt-Bill had given her this watch - showed 10:30 when she nosed the shining new coupe in- to the recently improved side road which led to Camp MacAllister. A khaki truck with white U. s. A. let tering on its body and grinning soldier at the wheel slowed down to let her pass. Ahead a long line of traffic flowed toward the camp.
 Visiting day" she thought. How many wives, how many sweetheartS, had looked forward to this Sunday as eagerly as she? Butch, on the seat beside her. was wriggling ecstatically. As If he knew he was to see Bill.
 At the sentry hut, two soldiers were on duty, asking questions of the people in the cars. They did not keep them long, and Martha slowed to crawl instead of stop ping.
 But before the soldier had time to open his mouth, someone be- hind him rushed forward. A voice e,rH cried; joyously' "Marthal Mar
 Bill, unfamiliar in olive drab his eyes startingly blue in a newly tanned face, leaped on the running board and thrust his head through the open window. Oar ling, I've been hanging around here practically since reveillew
 "Oh, Bill"
 Her arms were reaching for him. She clung tightly in a sudden rush of emotion that surprised her. As if she hadn't seen him for years! AS if an ocean had separated them instead of 100 miles.
 Butch began to bark. High, de- lighted yelps. His tail thumped the upholstery and he climbed over Martha's lap to get to his master.
 Save it, soldier!" grinned the sentry. You're blocking traffic."
 Bill said, Don't get gay. This lady's my wife"
 "Oh, Bill" Martha was laugh ing weakly. "It's SO good to see you. I've missed you so."
 I've missed you, too. And Butch, look at the darned pooch, he can't stand still"
 The sentry's raucous voice be- gan again, and Martha reluctantly withdrew her arms from around her husbands neck. Here, I'll move over. You drive, darling"
 Bill opened the door and slid in behind the wheel. He waved, with exaggerated patronage, to Che sentry.
 'It was swell of Paul to lend you his car," he said, as they turned in- to the camps main street. With a grin, he added, "I'd almost forgot ten the op-of-the-world feeling driving a car gives a man. In this dump, we buck privateS scramble out of the road, fast, as the gen. erals car flies by. See what mean?'
 Martha cuddled agains t him, her fingers on his arm. "It's so wonderful to be together again."

 You're making it up!"
 "Theres a lot of queer doings In this mans army. Stuff civilians never think of. Like Saturday in- spection, and sa1uting every time you pass an officer, if you pass him three thousand times a day. hardly ever forget to salute" He sounded quite proud of him. self.
