WASHINGTON fight over whether national defense plan t. shall be placed in the East or West provokes some bitter swearing be- hind the closed doors where Army experts work over defense blue prints. For the Army's pin maps show that more than 50 per cent of defense production is con- centrated in an area along the At lantic Coast reaching only from Bos- ton to Newport News, Va.
 Army officers say that to defend this vital region against Nazi bomb CTS and foreign attack would require a concentration of military force larger than our present army.
 The swivel-chair brass hats are trying to wriggle away from the mounting criticism by claiming that for the sake of speed they placed the orders where industry was al- ready located. But what they don't reveal is that even on this basis the East Coast got Tar more than US share.
 In 1889, before the emergency, East Coast states were responsible for 48.7 per cent of the total of new manufacturing in the United States. When it came to defense orders, in the last half of l940, these states received 61.9 per cent of all con- tracts awarded.
 In contrast, the North Central states, which added 37 per cent to manufacturing facilities in 1889, re- ceived only 38.4 per cent of defense contracts awarded in the last half of 1940. This excludes aircraft and shipbuilding. which the Army and Navy say must be built at existing seaboard plants.

from auto repair shops.
Demand For Used Cars
q AS for the secondhand car
business, the results are highly
problematical. There is no duobt
that the demand for second

soon the backlog of used cars

There is a saying in the indus
