Strikes Now Fewest
Since February,
Patterson Says
Defense Labor Situation
Considerably Better
Since AIIis Settlement
BY NELSON M. SHEPARD.

by NELSON M. SHkPAkD.
Undersecretary of War Patterson
declared today that "the strike sit
uation is considerably better" from
the viewpoint of defense production
since settlement of the three months
Allis- Chalmers strike that had tied
up vital powder production for about
seven weeks.
The strikes now affecting the de-
fense program are the fewest In
number since February" he told q
press conference at which he dis
cussed industrial conditions gen.
orally.
Mr.. Patterson, who is charged with
the Army's procurement program,
characterized settlement of the Allis-
Chalmers strike as "a great boon to
the War and Navy Departments" !"
That strike, he said, had seriously
affected our powder output"
He alluded to the turbines that
had been held up for the Hercules
plant opened several weeks ago at
Radford, Va. Now that the strike
has been settled, he said, two addi-
tional lines of production will be
able to start at this Radford plant.
Impressed by Boards Results
"We are very favorably impressed
by the progress of the Labor Media
ton Board appointed by the Presi-
dent" he remarked.
Mr.. Patterson said there are now
only IS strikes. involving some 5000
men, that affect the defense pro-
gram so far as the War Department
is concerned. He reminded. how
ever, that these figures did not in
clude the strike at the Ford plants,
involving some 200,0 900 men.
The strike at the Ford plant has
not affected production of airplane
parts and engines, he said, since
these materials had not been started
off the line.
Mr.. Patterson estimated the high
est number of men involved in the
strikes had been some 10000. Re-
ferring to the comparatively few
existing strikes, he said the ma
chine-tool industry is still affected.
Number Not Always Yardstick.
Mr.. Patterson said "the number
of men on strike is not always
good yardstick with which to meas
ure the seriousness of the Situa-
ton at a plant" in alluding to
situati ton that had arisen during
the earlier stages of production af-
fecting the airplane industry on
the West Coast.
Such a situation he described as
a "bottleneck" which the depart
ment is always anxious to avoid.
I'VE don't like to be dependent on
one producer, but due to the rapid
expansion of the industrial pro-
gram sometimes this is necessary"
he added
Airplane production is coming
along much better" the Under
secretary said, but refused to cite
any figures.
New Plants in Interior.
Referring to the delegation of
Southern Governors who seek
greater share for the South in the
distribution of industrial plants. Mr..
Patterson pointed out that it is i'm
possible in an emergency to be
guided strictly along geographical
lines.
When you want trucks in a hur-
ry, you have to 60 to Detroit to
get them" he explained. That was
a matter of common sense" Mr..
Patterson added.
He declared that in the construc-
ton of new plant facilities the de-
partment was endeavoring to dis
tribute them in the interior as it
has been doing in the case of new
airplane plants.

STUDY REVEALS FACTS
ABOUT BOMB DAMAGE
ON COMMUNICATIONS
Only Cables Buried Below IS
Feet Are Safe From
Effects Of Blast

The National archaeological Civil
Protection Committee recently
revealed authentic information secured
by American observers in Great
Britain regarding the effect Of bombs
on communications. The report showed
that "earth shock" which occurs when
a bomb with a delayed action fuse
penetrates considerable distance into
the earth before exploding, has dam
aged the lead sheath of telephone
cables as much as 400 yards away
from the edge Of the bomb crater.
In discussing repairs to telephone
cables, the report states that there are
two main problems. First, repair
crews must get at damaged telephone
cables through debris, sewage, water
and gas fumes. The second major
problem is that "the lead melting
from the cables starts a short circuit
which in turn ignites escaping gas
from broken MAINS" 1t was dis
covered that in many instances the
quickest way to repair cables was to
bypass the crater and not work in it..
The report also showed that although
a network of telephone cables are in
underground tubes or subways in the
London area, none but the deep tubes,
below rs feet, are safe.
In order to handle emergencies eff
GENTLY, the report says service using
secret telephone numbers has proved
invaluable. Only the police, the fire
brigade and the afraid precaution
wardens know these numbers and they
are the only ones who can commune
cate in an emergency.
