SPREADING DkfESsk WORK

4 That defense production Is
spread throughout the country and
not concentrated in a few Industrial
areas or among a handful Of large
companies, as some are led to, be-
lieve, is we'll illustrated in a report
to General Motors employees in
their monthly magazine GIN Folks
stating that II plants alone, Of the
more than 35 Corporation plants
doing defense work, buy materials
from nearly 200 communities, large
and small, scattered through Il
states.
But even this canvass Of Just
few of the General Motors defense
plants included only those COM
munities where they make direct
purchases. If the raw materials
that go into the parts and supplies
purchased by these II plants could
be traced back to, their original
sources going back to the mines,
the farms and the forests-it would
be found that the work Of men and
women in many times 200 commun-
tiles, located in every section of the
country, is involved.
at is customary with many Of
us in listing General Motors de-
fense assignments to think OF the
Allison airplane engine as some
thing made in Indianapolis, for ex-
ample, shells as something made
in Lansing, machine in Flint, Sag
inaw, Syracuse and Dayton, and so
on down the line" the article
states. "That of course, does not
tell the full story"
A few examples in the report sug-
gest how the roots of defense work
reach far beyond the Corporations
own immediate organization;
One G. M. division buys raw ma
terials and semi-fnished parts |
from suppliers scattered through 20
states as far west as California.
Another division buys 1000 de-
Tense parts from SO suppliers |
which, together with 81 suppliers Of
raw materials, are located in 10
states.
A third division draws on 30
small machine shops for supplies.
The average employment OF these
shops is 20.
All kinds OF communities-large
and small, some at industrial CEN
ters and many at widely separated
feeding parts, supplies
and equipment to manufacturers
for defense. Thus, the important
work in which every American has
a personal interest is shared by
great army of workers throughout
our entire land.

AMERICANS TO WEAR
SYNTHETICS

No matter who wins the war in
Europe or China the civilian popu-
lation of the United States will in
the future wear more and more
garments made from substitute or
synthetic fabrics, according to Har-
old e. Reed, head of the textile
school, International Correspond
ence Schools. He said those who
have studied the problems of syn
thetic fbers as related to the ma
tional defense program agree that
the first and largest use as substi-
tutes for natural fibers will be in
civilian fabrics. Essential natural
fibers will go to meet military de-
mands, and to take the place of
raw materials normally imported.
AS one example of a substitute
Mr.. Reed said virtually all of the
fine rabbit hair used in felt hats for
men formerly was imported from
France. A new fiber manufactured
from casein, by-prOduct OF milk,
is now being made in the United
States. 1t is blended with natural
fur from which the finest hats will
be made.
Silk importations are decreasing.
AS a result rayon and nylon are
being used in increasing quantities
for hosiery. Silk is a highly i'm
portant military fiber and it is the
best fiber available for parachute
cloth and cartridge bags. 1t is not
produced in this country Silk
thread used for electrical insulation
purposes would be replaced by ace
tate rayon, fiberglas, and other
synthetics.
One possibility is that at some
time the supply of wool may be in
adequate for military purposes. Re
mote as this contingency appears, it
may occur. While the Army has no
intention of adopting rayon-wool
blends as long as pure wool fab
RIGS can be obtained, the Quarter
master Corps has ordered, for ex-
perimental purposes, only, small
lots of shirtings and uniform fab
rics composed of a blend of 303o
viscose rayon staple and 704o wool.
Also, textile manufacturers have
submitted part-rayon and all-rayon
blankets for examination and tests
by the Army. A campaign hat. in
part synthetic fiber, derived from
casein is an item which has been
offered for consideration. Spun
rayon and wool flannel for hospital
use is a possibility, according to
manufacturers
Imports of fax and linen have
stopped. Substitutes will be need
ed Immediately to take the place of
linen handkerchiefs, towels, table
cloths, napkins, draperties, sewing
thread, fish lines, and other pro-
ducts. Among the synthetics suit
able for various items are continu-
ous-filament and spun-rayon yarns,
fiberglas, and permalon.
Although the domestic supply of
cotton seems ample to meet mill
tary and civilian requirements,
there is a scarcity of the longer
staples. Where short-staple cotton
is not suitable. high-strength rayon
in continuous-filament OF cut
staple form will be employed. High
strength rayon will probably be-
come important in the manufacture
Of tire cords, betting, sail cloth
fiber fabrics, covering for rubber
yarns, shirtings, and half hose.
Probably according to Mr.. Reed
the textile industry will require
synthetic fiber which can be pro-
lduced next year, and next.
