Eliminating Weekend Blackout
BY MERRYLE STANLEY RUKEYsER

The harsh realities of wartime
mobilization are challenging the
democratic fallacies which grew
up like weeds during the depres-
sion period.
There is now a hasty retreat
from the erroneous notion that
the nation was suffering from an
excess of productive capacity.
On the contrary, President
Roosevelt recently told the direc-
tors of the Office of Production
Management that critical ma
chimes making defense materials
should be operated "a hours day
seven days a week, with only
enough time out for maintenance

Hits Economic Change
In Name of Defense
Requests Washington to Concentrate
Purely on u. S. Preparedness
By b. C. FORBES

Maybe I'm dense. But I still am
profoundly convinced that those
running things at Washington
should exercise the most pains
taking care to interfere as little
as feasible with our economy.
while unswervingly giving first
consideration to adequate pre-
paredness.
After all. isn't the nation con-
fronted with two main problems =?
Every one admits that no obstacle
to defense activities can be per-
mitted.
But, granting that, isn't II
supremely important that life and
business be allowed to go on with
out uncalled-for disruption?
Government orders cannot fill
the nations entire pay envelope,
cannot keep every worker en-
ployed. The often-overlooked fact
is that even the multibillion-
dollar appropriations by Congress
provides employment for only a
relatively small percentage OF the
country's total wage earners, con-
stitute only a minor proportion of
the American peoples aggregate
annual income.
4 Out of S
Perhaps four out of every five
workers must depend upon nom
government spending for their
livelihood.
Further: The government itself
must depend upon private enter
prise more heavily than upon the
recipients of its disbursements for
filling the federal treasury. for
keeping Washington's colossal
spending machine going.
After all, there are and will
continue to be more people de-
pendent upon nondefense than
upon defense money to maintain
their existence.
This majority manifestly Is
entitled TO every reasonable con-
sideration.
Serious Crime
Too often il has been true that
a hard-headed business man under
goes an inexplicable transforma-
ton the moment he is summoned
10 Washington. His perspective.
in all too many instances, goes
awry. He becomes obsessed with
the view that nothing matters one
iota except pushing preparedness,
that what happens to normal bust
ness, what happens to millions of
bread-winners not needed for war
business, becomes Of no Importance
whatsoever.
But every calm-thinking citizen

HOLLYWOOD is making good

Never before in the history of
the movies have so many young

Mattresses, salesgirls, typists

honest-to-goodness fling at a
film career.
Two reasons account for this
sudden and active interest IN
new talents. First, there aren't
