food. They'd eat again. they knew.
Now they chose to dance.
AFTER the first party. we never
had to seek invitations for the boys"
Mrs. Noel says. The telephone be-
gan ringing next morning and has
been ringing ever since. Everybody
in Scarsdale, apparently, wants to
have the boys to Sunday dinner.
And the program has been taken up
by suburban towns all over lower
New York State and has spread into

kinds, from wealthy families to
those with small budgets and no
servants where the boys go out in the
kitchen and help. And they love to
do that. Some of the families take
photographs and mail them home to
mothers who have never even seen
their sons in uniforms. Others just
write to the mothers and tell them
how we'll their boys look and what
fine appetites they have. The an
swers that come from those mothers
are the most touching things any,
one could ever hope to read"
The plan is the outgrowth of sug-
gestions gathered from successful
hostesses. Mrs. Noel says. And there
are important rules to follow in max
ing this kind of contact with Service
men succeed. For example, it really
is important never to send man
alone to visit in a strange house.
Send his pal or pals with him. And
it is a good idea to bring the boys to
common meeting place and have
them met there, and introduced by
first names to, their hosts for the
day. Be sure that it is the hosts
rather than the hostesses - they'll
be more at ease. 1t is also best to
arrange a dance or party for the
afternoon. Otherwise the visit be-
gins to seem long and some indi-
vidual families won't know how to
keep the boys amused. And never
ask any family to entertain Let
them do the asking.

Mrs. Noel adds, ''but it Is enO--

az something to do fOv the boys,
but in a little uisiLe you realize
it is something they are doing

As for the Service men themselves,
their whole conception of what they
are living. and fighting. and perhaps
dying for is changed. They knew
from the beginning that they were
fighting for home and country. But

Nelson Seeking
To Speed Planes

short of perfect warplane produc-

of the tremendous needs.
Nelson was understood to be
looking for a production man to
work with Merrill C. Meigs, pres
ent head of the aircraft production
branch.
Nelson was said not to be disap-
pointed with Meigs efforts to speed
up airplane output but to feel that
man more closely associated with
the aircraft industry might be use

WASHINGTON, April Sup
Production Chief Donald M. Mel
son today sought tc speed warplane
production by stabilizing the flow
of fabricated parts to assembly
lines.
Disturbed by instances where GER
tain airplane plants have gone back
to shortened working weeks, Mel
son has been investigating the sit
uation personally.
He has had reports from two pro
duction specialists not on the WPB
staff-K. T. Keller, president of the
Chrysler corporation, and Harold
Talbot, Dayton engineering expert.
Both reports suggested ways by
which more planes could be turned
out They stressed the Importance
Of having all the hundreds of air
/1ene parts available Simultane-
6dsly for the assembly line.
TO ANSWER CHARGES
Nielsen will discuss the airplane
situation before an Army Day ban
.Aet in New York City Saturday
1ght. That speech is expected to
be his reply to yesterdays charges
by the senate committee investi-
eating the war effort that lack
of overall planning is interfering
with full-capacity operation OF
some Pacific coast plane factories.
Nelson's talk was scheduled before
the committee made public its
criticism.
In a talk last month. Nelson
indicated that since Pearl Harbor,
aircraft production has risen more
than SO per cent. That would mean
that at least 5000 planes a month
were being turned cut now.
NEED PERFECTION
WPB officials explained that air
plane output was now at levels
which year and half ago would
have been considered impossible. y
However, they stressed that the
need of planes was emphasized re-
peatedly on recent battle fronts,
especially in the Dutch East In
dies. AS they explained, anything
