japanese Evacuees
To Make Goods
u. 5. Army
Four-Point Program
Outlined for 100, 900
In West Coast Zones

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. April Slap
anese evacues from the military
zones along the Pacific Coast were
given their first peep into the
future-they will farm and make
Army goods for the country which
gave them substance for many years
before the war.
The War Relocation Authority
handling the vast problem of re-
settling more than 100000 Japanese,
announced 1t was considering there
four different types Of work oppor-
tunitieS for the evacues:
Public work contributing to the
war effort, such rs development of
land for irrigation.
22Production of needed agricul-
tural commodities for subsistence of
evacues and for sale.
3-Manufacturing of articles such
as camouf1age nets, cartridge belts,
wood products, etc, that are re-
quired by the military establish
ment.
Private employment, when and
where possible.
Supervised Projects.
M. S. Eisenhower, director Of the
authority, emphasized that the i'm
mediate relocation and work oppor-
tunities would be on large super
vised public projects.
The evacues will not take part In
private pursuits for several months
at least not until after the evacua-
ton from military areas has been
completed and definite policies and
procedures made regarding oppor-
tunities for and the conditions Of
private employment.
The whole evacuation problem will
be discussed with State and Federal
officials from 10 Western States at
Salt Lake City, April 7.
Japanese farmers swamped Pacific
Coast Offices of the United States
Employment Service with urgent re-
quests that operators be found to
take over their farm lands.
5000 Farms Listed.
Field agents Of the Farm Security
Administration have listed about
5000 farms, comprising zoe, 900 acres,
for which new operators must be
found. The agents said the admin
istration had supervised the transfer
of about 1000 farms Of some $4,000
acres to new operators in Washing
ton, Oregon and California.
Several hundred Japanese, first
evacues of the war, already have
been settled in the ManZanar recep-
ton center in California's Owens
Valley. They went from Los An
geles. More than 1000 others. from
San Francisco's water front and from
San Diego, must be on their way
there by next Tuesday.
These are the first segments Of q
continuing movement-the largest
such wartime evacuation ever under
taken in the Nation.

Owens Corning Chief
Takes Over Tough Job

the largest and most war-useful
production of goods. This is a
problem which America has new
er faced before. It's one that on
ly began to come into sight
early this year. But it's one
that has been urgently demand
ing a solution for the past six
months.
Perhaps one of the reasons
Mr.. Boeschenstein was picked
for the job of correlating all the
preliminary work is the fact he
is young, energetic, intelligent,
and has already solved a num-
ber of these problems in plants
of the Owens-Corning Fiberglas
corporation, because of his far
sightedness.
Priorities worked pretty well
as long as there was something
left over. But the day came in
the early part of 1912, when war
demand alone was able to alb
sorb most of the supply of ma
terials.
Then two things happened:
1. The priorities mechanism
went haywire. Priority-rated
orders were no longer competing
with unrated orders; they were
competing with each other.
There were more priority-rated
orders than goods to fill them.
Inevitably war agencies started
pushing up the ratings on their
contracts. The result was
runaway initiation of priority
values which eliminated a few
months ago when a priority rat
ing became almost meaningless.
2. 1t became imperative to
avoid any blocks in the smooth
flow of material from the mine
to the battlefield. Every time a
manufacturer bought more stuff
than he could process right away
it tied up material in stockroom
1llNCIIOIlCos Lively tllllC OIl
mount, say, was manufactured
before the gun-barrel was ready,
it tied up material in semi-fin-
ished goods inventories. Every
time a new factory or machine
was built with no assurance
that there'd be stuff for it to
work on, it tied up material in
idle facilities. And every time
material was tied up it meant,
that, somewhere else, war pro-
duction slowed down or halted.
And that is the job Mr.. Besch-
enstein has been given,-to bal
ance essential industrial produc-
tion against available stockpiles
of critical materials,-and that
is some job to tackle in a short
six-month period.
We don't believe there is much
hazard in guessing that Mr..
Boeschenstein will be able to do
the job.
