MANUFACTURERS SURVEY
PATTERSON

MANUFACTURERS SURVEY
ON SPENDING
THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF MANUFACTURERS wanted to
know whether or not the taxpayers
money was being wasted in rural
communities by either local, state
or federal governments. To find
out, the association went direct to
the surest source of accurate infor-
nation, the editors of Americas
hometown newspapers. Replies were
received from 961 country newspaper
editors. Of that number, 41.6 per
cent reported needless spending by
their local governments; GIL per
cent said their state governments
were wasting the taxpayers money
in needless spending, and GIL per
cent said that so far as their COM
munities were concerned, the fed
eral government was throwing mon
ey to the winds.
A considerable part of the editors
did not content with mere general
statements of waste, offered definite
figures. For example, 161 said local
governments in their communities
could save a total of ST, 1905, 300, an
average of $111,216 for the 161
communities. As to state savings,
167 editors, representing AZ states,
said saving totaling $207, 200, 900 in
state spending could easily be made.
AS to federal savings, 201 editors
gave figures for savings in their
communities totaling STA ,432 200, an
average of $569,314 per community.
In response to the question, "What
broad activities of government
might now be reasonably curtailed?"
65.3 per cent said cut out WPA and
relief; 1862 per cent were for stop
ping AAA and farm aid; 313 per
cent believed National Youth admin
istration could be dispensed with,
and % per cent would close the CCC
camps.
1t is a safe bet that Secretary
Morgenthau would welcome those
country editors as members of con-
gress. Their presence in Washing
ton would insure the reduction in
civilian expenditures for which he
is asking. It is also a safe bet
that those country editors know what
they are. talking about. No one of
them would hesitate about war ex-
penditures, but each would surely
cut out the non-essentials at this
time

PRODUCTIONS:
On Home Front

All over the United States groups
of workers were getting together and
adopting resolutions to speed up
their effort, and some factories pro-
ducing war materials were report
ing as much as 70 per cent added
output since the declaration of war.
Ships of war were being launched
and put into commission as rapidly
as possible. The Liberty ships were
going into the water at scores of
shipyard ways.
Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, re-
ceived several large new elders for
test, elders said to have wing
spread of 80 feet, probably capable
of transporting soldiers in large
numbers.
Swiftly they had been put under
test, their pilots from the new
schools which are training men to
manage these motorless ships, which
possibly may be lowed in trains"
to be released over territory in
which it is desired to land troops.
In the invasion of Crete, Germany
used hundreds of them, repeatedly
landing $1,000 troops that way, also
large numbers of light field guns
and ammunition.
The newest glider training school
is at Twenty-Five Palms, Calf,
turning out classes every four
weeks, the students being already
graduate pilots.
The elders were so large that in
transporting them from factory to
Wright field by trailer truck they
had to be broken into two assem-
blies.
PRICES:
The price control bill finally was
passed, but in such a form that it
was said to have been major de-
feat for the administration.
Although the senate passed it SO
to /, the farm-relief amendment
passed only SIS to 81.
AS the bill went into conference it
provided, according to opposition
senator's, such possible farm price
raises that the cost of living could
reasonably advance Is per cent be-
fore the price control administrator
could do anything about it.
The bill provided for no direct
governmental control over wages, a
fact which caused Senator Nye, who
had voted for the O'Mahoney-Russell
amendment for farm relief, to be
the sole senator voting against the
completed bill. He claimed that the
failure to handle wages would make
the whole bill Ineffective.
It was cited that under this bill
| it would be reasonable to expect but
ter at a dollar a pound; eggs at
over dollar dozen, wheat at s1.53
bushel, cotton at 81 cents, and
similar price increases.

MAC ARTHUR:
Tough

Only fragmentary reports at wide
intervals, testimony to the increas-
ing difficulties of commune atoms,
were coming from the Philippines.
Some military commentators saw
hope for General Macarthur and his
defending forces if they could hold
out for three weeks more.
But this was admittedly profile
NAUTICAL. How much in the way of
supplies and munitions the MacAr-
thur army had was one question.
Another was how long these sup
plies and munitions would continue
to get to him.
Admittedly the FiGpino-American
troops had all the advantage of ter
rain and superior position. The Mar
wales mountain range, which they
were defending, was lofty, provided
much natural fortific alton, and tacti-
cally was the planned line of de-
tense from the outset. This worked
out as planned.
For years, in figuring Japanese
invasion of Luzon, it had been fig
ured that the defenders would fall
back on the lofty heights above Cor
regidor and Manila bay and fight it
out there.
For years the Filipino army had
been maneuvering in these hills, and
their officers know the country like
the backs of their hands. The heights
make airplane straffing especially
dangerous and difficult.
At all events, Macarthur had still
been holding on, and America was
betting on him and his troops to do
their best to the last ditch.

RUSSIA:
Brightest Spot

The Russian front continued to
furnish the brightest picture from
the Allied standpoint.
Moscow had begun to report mass
surrenders of German troops with
out fighting. The Reds also report
ed large masses of Nazi soldiers in
rapid retreat to the southwest from
the upper central front, abandoning
much war material.
The sieges of Sevastopol and
Leningrad have definitely been
broken, and their garrisons had
swept out beyond the city borders
to engage retreating Germans and
to attempt to form functions with
other Russian troops.
The radio broadcasts picked up
from Germany tacitly admitted the
situation was serious. One described
it as a "crisis, but one with which
Adolf Hitler will know how to deal"
Hitler was believed to be planning
some sort of major coup, but the
nature of it could not be guessed
at. He also was variously reported
as facing tremendous internal pres

Won Brauchitsch.
There also had been reports that
crack German reinforcements were
being flown by elders to the Rus
sian front to attempt to bolster the

PRICE CEILINGS

=
IN A WESTERN STATE a straw
vote was taken among workmen on
the question of ceiling for COM
modify prices, for rents and for
wages. Quite naturally, it showed a
big majority, practically 100 per
cent, for a ceiling on commodity
prices and rents, and about the same
percentage against a ceiling on
wages.
We are all more or less selfish.
Most of us are willing and anxious
to take, but we are short on CIV
ing. The worker wants more wages
and lower living costs. The farmer
wants to sell for more and buy for
less. The manufacturer wants high
er prices for what he produces and
lower wages for his employees. But
it does not work. If we would take,
we must also give, or the system
fails. To prevent imitation, we
should have ceiling on commodity
prices and rents, and also on wages.

WEATHER NEWS

ferred to take our weather fore
casts from the patent medicine
almanac. But now those of us who
are living on or near the coasts are
really missing those daily weather
representations, which the military
authorities claim would be of bene-
fit to the enemy, even though we
may have thought they were value
less. In the newspapers or on the
radio they were of more interest
than we had realized.
IF WE MUST spend more money,
why not devote bit of it to the
employment of competent chemists
in an effort to find new uses for farm

Ted Williams
Leads Hitters

NEW YORK, Sept. % Up
1t is probably fortunate for the
hopeful hurlers of seven of the
American Leagues eight clubs
that the season is about over,
because that means they won't
have to look at Ted Williams
much longer.
Although he's not b t ! n 6
even close to his .406 of 194l,
his .357 for this campaign is so
far in front of all other batters
that he could probably hit with
a tennis racket the rest Of the
season and still waltz in with
the championship. For instance,
during the week just concluded,
Ted collected a mere eight hits
in 18 trips to boost his mark
four points and hold 25-point
bulge over his Red Sox mate,
Johnny Pesky, who is in second
place in the American Leagues
hitting race with 1882.
Ernie Lon b r d i, Boston's
numbering backstop, dropped
four points to 1929 during the
week - hitting only three for
10 - but he still was Ia points
up on Brooklyn's Pete Reiser,
who held second spot in the Ma
tional League race. The Cardi-
nails Enos Slaughter held onto
third with .314.
