As the senator points out,
this is a very considerable
amount of money.
The American people are
sacrificing To supply the gov
eminent with it just as, Sc
verely as they are sacrificing
to pay war taxes and TO buy
war bonds.
If applied to the war pro-
gram, two billion dollars
saved from nOn-defeIse prof
ects would amount to fifteen
dollars for every man, woman
and child in the United
States.
According to the cOmputa-
tons of Senator Byrd, it
would build eight thousand
fully-equipped four-motOred
bombing planes.
Or it would build forty
eight thousand medium tanks,
or twenty-five tn san d
heavy tanks, or two hundred
destrOyers. or four hundred
submarines.
The President processes
belief, and strains the point
severely, that an incidental
by-product of such sociology
cal federal agencies as the
National Youth Administra-
ton and the Civilian COnser-
walton Corps is training af-
forded potential workers i'm
war industries.
In such degree as this is
true, it is duplication of war
industry training at its best
and is inadequate and incOn-
s2-;uential at its worst.
Strictly from, the stand
point of money expended and
results achieved, these agen-
cies clearly have no place in
a nation at war.
The American public is un-
dergOing great self-denial,
and is foregoing many nor
NAL activities much more in
timately related to national
interest and welfare than
NYA and CCC, in order to
support the war.

PRODUCTION
GOALS MAY

President Hints More MAJ
Be Piled on Fantastic !
January Program

WASHINGTON, April 24-Presi-
dent Roosevelt declared today that
War Production is working out ex-
tremely well and limited that more
may be piled on top of the huge
program which was called fan
tastic last January.
At that time, in his annual mes
sage to Congress, the President set
forth a schedule asking for 1876, 900
planes this year and next; 10000
tanks and 10 million tons of COM
mercial shipping.
The intimation that these ire
mendous goals might be expanded
to assure victory was given when
he was asked at press confer
ence whether he thought that the
steel plants now being built or ex-
banded could raise the capacity suf-
ficiently to meet all requirements.
NO" he replied, Il couldn't say
that because there might be an
other program
The President then expressed the
personal view that there is still
too great a civilian use of steel
but that War Production Board
officials have taken a contrary po-
sition to the inquiry of whether
anything is being done to revival
ize shipbuilding He said everybody
is working On this problem at the
present time.

The W ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
and ROBERT S. ALLEN

WASHINGTON is a mo-
mentous week for the War Labor
Board.
It's been kept under cover, but
this key war agency is in the throes
of a serious internal clash which
is due for a showdown any day
now. The result may be an ex-
plosicn that will blow the lid off.
The issue is over the charge that
certain employer members of the
Board are deliberately stalling dis
posal of major labor cases affecting
war production.
Precipitation of the showdown is
Dean Wayne Morse of Oregon Uni
versity law school, two-fisted, plain
talking public representative on
the Board Principal target OF
Morse's fire is Walter G. Teagle,
tall, bulky chairman of the board
of Standard Oil of New Jersey and
an employer member of WLB.
The long -smoldering controversy
came to a head some days ago in
connection with the International
Harvester case. This case had been
pending for nearly year. Finally
Morse demanded that the WLB
render a decision, threatening to
resign and issue statement blunt
" telling why he quit unless the
Board acted.
Under this challenge the Board
got down to business. After most
of a day of dickering, Teagle final
ly proposed that the matter be held
over the following weekend on the
possibility that a split decision
could be averted. This was agreed
to.
During that weekend most OF
the employer members OF the WLb
had a secret pow-wow at winch
they debated what stand to take on
union security" the basic issue
involved in the Harvester and a
number of other pending major
cases. Participants in this con-
ference later told other WLB mem
bers that an agreement on the
compromise union membership
maintenance" formula could have
heen reached but for Teagle.
1t was stated that the Gilman
vigorously objected to accepting
