The South may still he. as

But at least il is briskly ad-

My present travels in the
South recall my first tour OF
investigation more than quar-
ter-of-a-century ago. Addressing
a large gathering Of businessmen
in Atlanta. I predicted that the
time would come when there
would be no solid South" politi-
cally that the South was
destined to be gradually trans
formed from simply an agri-
cultural area TO an increasingly
important industrial area.
Political transition has been
slower than | anticipated. How
ever. not the industrial transit

economic developments through
out the southland. Indeed. people
elsewhere probably have made
quate conception of the multi
plicity and magnitude Of the
South's development. especially
in manufacturing.
No small part of the govern
ment's colossal spending is being
allocated below the Mason and
Dixon Line. This is not only be-
cause Washington. wisely. wants

the very valuable advantage of
more equitable year-'round
climate than most other sec

outdoor employment-such as in
shipbuilding yards = with less
interruption than in the North.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-New

1854. 494 and in January. 1910, it
was $3i. 736.57S.
On this basis. despite higher ex-
penses, il is estimated net operat-
ing income for the first month OF
this year was well above the 3d.

December was $7.085, 719. but il is
unlikely that this figure was
reached last month.
However, Central in January UNI
doubtedly was in the black by a
good margin. In December the net
income was $4.000.2l5, while in
January last year the net income
after all taxes and charges
amounted to S1,027, 1877. The final

Plastic research engineers
and chemists have been placed
at the disposal of executives of
metal-consuming industries to
help break the bottlenecks
caused by shortages of various
essential defense metals as alu-
minum, magnesium and zinc.
Plastics experts believe their
product can successfully replace
cast or stamped metals in nom
defense fields, releasing a large
supply for the essential indus
tries.

Russo.Briiish Pledge

Moscow and London
Promise Assistance
In Case of Attack
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 13.-An1iomce-
ment by Great Britain and Soviet
Russia that they we're ready to
assist Turkey should she be attacked
by another European power has
strengthened her neutrality stand
and has demonstrated the spirit
of cooperation between Moscow and
London, informed sources said to-
day.
Tass reported from Moscow that
Russian and British Ambassadors
to Ankara assured the Turkish gov
ernment August 10 that the Soviets
had no aggressive intentions or
claims" on the Dardanelles and that
Russia and Britain were prepared
scrupulously to respect the terri
torial integrity Of the Turkish re-
public"
A Russian statement to the Turks
was quoted as saying, too, that
fully comprehending the desire Of
the Turkish government not to be
involved in war, the Soviet gov
ernment, like the British govern
ment. would, nevertheless, be ready
to render Turkey every assistance
and support in case the latter be-
comes the object Of attack on the
part Of any European power"
Many political observers here be-
lieved that Turkey had swung to-
ward the Allies since the British
took over the Levant States and
forced the pro-Naz government Of
Rashid Ali al Gallant to flee Iraq.
In addition, it was reported Great
Britain was shipping arms to Tur-
key by way of Basra.

FORT LEWIS, Wash, Aug. l3.-
Fort Worden, one of the main de-
fense outposts of Puget Sound,
theoretically was destroyed by a
mythical invading feet At dawn
today. The attack officiaily started
the biggest war maneuvers In West
Coast history.
The fort and its huge coast de-
Tense guns we're demolished after
is minutes of enemy fire. Fort
guns had blasted the leading ele-
ments of the feet, but were over
whelmed by superior fire power.
The enemy feet continued down
the sound toward Seattle.
The huge $4,000, 900 McChord
field air base was ruled destroyed
by enemy planes. Half the planes
on the field theoretically were de-
molished before they could get into
the air and all the runways were
blown up.
Testing whether this Western
Coast sector of the United States Is
vulnerable to invasion, the attacking
forces made their move after two
days of feinting, obviously intended
to spread out the defending forces.
The men in command of the paper

Steel Replaces Aluminium
Under New Process
Nv the Associated Press

bs tHe ASSuN1alcu fIcso1
CINCINNATI. Aug. 13.-The Cros-
ley Corp. announced yesterday de-
velopment of process whereby
ordinary steel may be substituted
for aluminium and special alloy
steel in certain airplane parts with
no added weight and in some cases
slight saving.
Lewis M. Clement, engineering
director, said the process was being
used on Army Air Corps contract
work, but declined to say what spe-
cific parts were involved. Essen
TALLY. he said, it is a method of
joining pieces of shaped steel so
that they have the same strength
as aluminium die castings or chrome
molybdenum steel forgings in Ger
tain bearing assemblies.
The weight saving results from
the smaller size of the steel pieces
needed as compared with the alu-
minum or chrome molybdenum.
The joining process is known as
hydrogen brazing. In 1t piece of
copper is placed between the steel
pieces to be Joined and the assem-
bly, is heated in an oven until the
copper melts.
Copper's affinity for steel causes
the steel pieces to absorb 1t and
join solidly, with the same strength
as a die casting or forging, Clement
said.

Manufacturers Urqe
Law 10 Fix labor's
Strike Responsibility
Association Coils for
New Bill Of Rights to
End Defense Stoppoees
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The Ma
tional Association Of Manufacturers
called today for "a new bill of rights
for American industry, workmen and
management" to prevent the con-
tinuation of strikes in defense in
dustries
1t issued a statement saying: De
spite the impelling urgency of de-
fenSe production. the Nation has
witnessed this week strikes which
again illustrate the inadeQuacy OF
Federal machinery to reduce indus
trial disputes.
These recent strikes have even
occurred in fragrant violation Of
agreements entered into by manage
ment and labor. approved by heads
of three governmental agencies, i'll
which q two-year moratorium on
strikes was subscribed to by all
parties.
Violated Agreement.
"At Kearny, N. j., for example,
union members in the Federal Ship
building & Drydock Co. struck last
Wednesday despite a signed obliga-
ton outiawing both walkouts and
lockouts until June 23, l943.
Despite the two-year agreement.
which included IL per cent wage
increases for workers. the union still
sought form of closed shop and
violated its agreement in order to
enforce its demands.
This strike at the Kearny ship
yard is not just another episode
in the history of industrial disputes;
it is a classic illustration Of strike
madness which is sweeping the
Nation; it focuses the attention of
the whole people upon the basic
underlying structure of our labor
law as it affects the right to work.
New Bill Of Rights.
and before this country witnesses
once again a return of that in
violable right to every workman,
union member or not. new bill of
rights for American industry, work
men and management must be
written.
mo labor dispute can be solved
by Government seizure: this is
merely Sponging q leak which some
day may become a flood.
The administration and the Con-
gress must face today the fact that
nearly 400 900 man-days of defense
work irretrievably lost during the
first seven months of l94l, worth
an estimated $29, ,480, 900 in defense
construction, will be repeated again
and again unless the responsibilities
of labor are as firmly established
under Law aS are those of manage
ment."
