ing the Importance of this. w. l..
Bait, deputy director of the pro-
duct1on division of the Office of
Production Management called for
still greater enlargement of our
present defense plans indicating
that the present $4,000, 1000 900
program is inadequate and that it
should be boosted to 100000
600. He also said that there must
be a radical change in the atti-
tude of "sOme people" in both la
Dor and industry "if We are to
make good our promises to the
defenders of freedom"
This statement, of course, re-
ferred to the strikes in defense
industries, which, after a brief
period of quiet, have started up
anew. The new Mediation board
of the government has been sue
cessful in postponing and stopping
many strikes, but has been unable
to cope with some of the most i'm
portant-such as those in the ship
building industry on the Pacific
coast.
Letters and wires to congress
men clearly indicate that the pub
lie has lost patience with strikes
and wants a legal club to deal
with them. But congress is hesi-
tant to put through such legisla-
ton without encouragement from
the President and therefore the
problem is sidetracked from week
to week in the hope that the pres
sure of public opinion will in it
self be enough to cope with the
situation. Calling off of threat

ter the company gave a general
raise in pay, plus the action of the
Ford Motor company in giving pay

were considered victories for
those trying to keep labor on the
job.
The question of reduction of
domestic expenses, in order that
more of tax revenue can be ap-
piled to defense costs, has been
put in the lap of congress, both
the President and the treasury de-
partment avoiding that problem.
Suggestions have been made to
reduce non-defense appropriations
by as much as $2,OO0,000,000, by
cutting down on money for relief,

increases in wages, combined with
threats of the government to

hundreds of thousands of people
rushing to their automobile deal

more and more do their buying at
the used car markets. At present,
it is estimated that almost half of
the cars on the road were pur-
chased second hand.
Dealers say they have to dis
pose of three used cars for each
new car they sell. Before they
get their profit out of a new car
they must ordinarily sell a car
traded in by the original purchas-
er, sell second car traded in by
purchaser of the first used car
and then dispose of a third used
car to the junk yard.
