sHOT SPOTSy ALONG
THE HIGHWAYS

The nations ability to produce
the guns, tanks and airplanes that
will win the war is only as good
as our transportation facilities,
points out Harvey c. Fruehauf,
Detroit truck-trailer manufacturer.
According to this authority, it will
not be long before our production
program will be rolling so rapidly
that present rail and highway
transportation facilities will be
taxed to their limit to keep pace.
1t is inevitable that transportation
must be geared directly with pro-
duction to keep the flow of mater
ials and finished products moving.
Our highways are but part of our
production lines.
The biggest job that highway
transportation will have to fill is
in the elimination of what traffic
men term ''hot spots. says Mr..
Fruehauf. Should production out
race transportation, conditions in
this respect may be readily met by
the available transportation, while
in another place raw materials or
finished products may pile up be-
yond the ability of local transpor-
tation requirements. Such a con-
dftion produces the hot spots sa'
1t is here that highway trans
portation, particularly the truck
trailer with its great capacity and
versatility, can do its greatest job.
Only three days before Pearl Har-
bor, Donald M. Nelson, then priori-
ties director, ordered the removal
of all restrictions on the produc-
ton of truck-trailers because, he
stated, "they provide the most eco
nomical form of commercial high
way transportation, both from the
standpoint of cost and metals con-
sumed."
Franklin D. Roosevelt not long
ago said, production and trans
portation of the machinery of de-
fense must not be interrupted"
The time to prevent such an in
terruption, according to Fruehauf,
is not when the emergency or
shortage exists. 1t is then too late.
With transportation experts freely
predicting that transportation
crisis may develop anywhere from
July, 1912, on, Fruehauf points out
that now is the time to build up a
bank of truck-trailers before this
industry is entirely on military
production. At the present time
deliveries of truck-trailers are
"frozen" and this condition has ex-
listed for two months. Naturally
this has similarly curtailed pro-
duction, a condition which cannot
be reconciled with the pending
shortage.

RUBBER CHALLENGE
is ACCEPTED

Private industry is attacking the
rubber problem with full vigor to-
day. And, according to authorities,
production in 1943 may be greater
than we expected even a short time
ago.
The Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey alone is building "a
plants with total capacity of $751;
900 tons, and they will be in opera
ton in less than a year. Other oil
companies are pursuing similar
programs. On top of that, great
progress is being made in the de-
velopment of other kinds of syn
thetic rubbers, such as those which
are produced from coal and coke.
American industry regards the
rubber problem as a challenge. 1t
is determined to produce a rubber
substitute which, in time, will be as
good and perhaps better than the
natural product. 1t is determined
to produce such substitute in suf-
ficient quantity, to meet essential
civilian no less than military needs.
1t is likely that some day we may
regard the loss of our sources of
natural rubber as a blessing in
disguise. American invention, Am
erican ingenuity and American
capital are starting to build a
great new synthetic rubber indus
try which will play a vital role in
peace as well as in war.
Milford chronicle., 1942-07-03
THE AMERICAN WAY WILL WIN

Deliveries of war products from
Just one American company totaled
s261 ,OS4,959 in the first quarter OF
1912, almost five times such deliv-
cries in the first quarter or 1871
and more than $100,000,00O above
those for the final quarter OF last
year.
That sounds like mass produc-
ton in earnest but it really is only
start. This same company re-
ports that production is going up
and costs to the government are
coming down. That's very reassur-
ing, especially since it comes from
a company like General Motors,
which has undertaken the produc-
ton of more than 10 per cent OF
our country's requirements of all
war materials fabricated from
metal.
A report just issued 'in the in
terests of keeping the American
people properly informed about the
progress of our war effort" offers
ample evidence that General Mo-
tors is already far enough into the
war production job to have demon
strated that our American produc-
ton methods and our American
ways of doing business will out
produce our Axis enemies.
The company reports price re-
ductions of many millions OF dol
lars to the Government on con-
tracts as lower costs have been
achieved, promising that similar
price reductions will continue to be-
made as long as conditions permit
the same aggressive and uninter-
rupted action that has been going
on in past months. II
Another pledge is that "the entire
General Motors organization -
workmen and management alike -
is dedicated to the single purpose
of producing more tanks, air.
planes, Army trucks. engines. guns
and ammunition to help win this
war"

sBETTER EATING"

Retail merchandising is doing
many a vital job in the interest of
consumers today. And one of those
j6bs is to advance the publics
knowledge of nutrition.
An excellent example Of that Is
found in a nutritional meeting re-
Gently sponsored by leading New
England food chain, which was
attended by more than a thousand
teachers of nutrition. Qualified ex-
perts on all phases of the subject
spoke. They dealt with such i'm
portant topics as choosing the right
food for the family, planning diets
Of children, food fallacies, etc. The
purpose was to provide information
TO make it possible for the house
wife to plan meals which will ade-
duately nourish her family at rea-
sonable cost.
"a The head of Selective Service,
General Mershey. points to the ne
cessity of better eating" at this
time. A high percentage of men re-
jected for military service suffered
from nutritional weaknesses. The
fact must be kept in mind that an
adequate diet is not necessarily ex-
pensive, You may buy extrava-
gantly-and yet suffer from malnu-
triton. Many of the cheapest foods
have higher nutritional value than
costly foods. Only an informed
person can buy the right foods. and
cook and serve them most advan-
tageously.
3 Throughout the nation, chain sys-
TENS and independent store groups
are carrying on nutritional cam
paigns of one kind or another. This
work has been given the enthusi-
astie endorsement Of governing Of
feials, consumer organizations,
dieticians, etc.
American retailing is doing its
part to show us how we may build
and maintain health-and still live
within a modest budget.

NUTRITIONIST DESCRIBES
USE OF SUGAR SUBSTITUTE

kMany homemakers have asked
for information on the use OF sac
charine as a substitute for sugar in
canning fruit. Miss Pearl Mac
Donald, nutritionist for the Della
ware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, points out that saccharine is
d coal tar product which is from
800 to $50 times sweeter than su-
gar. 1t has no food value whatever
and develops a bitter taste when
cooked. Accordingly, if it is added
TO fruit when canned, this bitter
flavor will develop in the process
Of sterilization.
EFF a homemaker plans to use
saceharine, fruit should be canned
without sweetening and saccharine
should be added when the fruit is
opened for serving.
Saccharine is more commonly
used in beverages such as tea and
coffee, and it is an expensive sub
stitute for regular sugar. Miss
Macdonald suggests that home
makers decide for themselves the
merit of using this coal tar pro-
duct.

MODERATE INITIATION
BY J. E. JONES

Hardly week passes in Wash
ington without discussions of plans
and programs for fresh boosts of
taxes. An important item under
that heading is the proposal for an
increase of individual income tax
rates from 4 to per cent, with
stiff surtaxes starting on the first
dollar of taxable income. Such a
proposal has apparently met with
approval by the House Ways and
Means Committee. The chairman of
the committee says that the new
scheme would yield approximately
$2,754 ,000, 900.
Another tax plan meeting with
strong support in Congress pro-
poses to lower income tax exemp-
tions of married couple to $1,000,
and single persons to $500.
Again there is the suggestion
that there should be Federal sales
taxa plan that has been pushed
aside a great many times because
the states have already occupied
that field for taxation. Neverthe-
less, the present indications are
that it is only matter of time be-
fore there will be a Government
sales tax.
Many corporations of the country
have been reducing their rate of
dividends to stockholders. A large
number of the most important finan-
cial and industrial institutions of
the country, including food, electri-
cal, steel, oil, automobiles, trans
portation, communications, ETC.,
have announced, week after week,
that their businesses for the past
year have earned more than usual,
but that their net earnings are far
below former years, because of
many kinds of taxes they will have
to pay.
In all this transformation our
citizens are faced with
higher costs when they go to the
grocery, and the clothing store.
Every way they turn, they find in
creased living expenses.
All of which amounts to moderate
imitation.

COLUMNISTS AND
CORRESPONDENTS

When more than 800 heads of COM
panies, engineers, production experts,
and representatives of every branch of
the automobile industry gathered in
Detroit recently to meet Chief Ernest
C. Kanzler, of the War Production
Board the leading newspapers of the
Nation sent their best Washington
newsmen to cover the proceedings.
Many columnists also went to Michi-
gan to study the trends and the sig
nifcance of the occasion.
Mr.. Kanzler is top-man of the new
Automotive Division, and he outlined
TO the assembled group some of the
problems involved in the new program
to increase the arms output to above
81, 100000. eve must use our i'm
agination to do things faster, in new
way" he declared and added: 1--WE
must have at once an all-out war
economy; we must remember that we
are in this war and in it all the way"
Columnists and correspondents got
columns of copy out of that meeting
and in their perambulations through
the Nations principal automobile in
stitutions
Production rises because the Presi-
dent and Congress have heaped-up
niles of new money to make it possible
for a tremendous increase in all kinds
of war materials.
Albert r. Beatty of the Association
Of American Railroads has written
several very Illuminating articles which
prove that the American railroads are
able to meet the demands for trans
portation of all petroleum that may be
needed on the Atlantic Coast. He also
proves in a recent magazine article
that there is rail equipment wholly
sufficient to move troops and war sup
plies just as fast as the Government
calls for rail transportation.
AS for the automobile industry, one
Of the country's leading newspaper
writers, Raymond Clapper, has writ

Try couldsnot do the wat production job
without the automobile industry"
Our competent columnists and Wash |

lie today: Don't let the war get you
down even when the news runs from
bad to worse because you may be sure
America is right, and has the strength
and spirit, to win.

PART OF THE SYSTEM

n. When this war is over, America
will have the most gigantic mass
production machine In the world.
We will have the worlds largest
army Of skilled workmen. Techni-
cal development will be at a new
peak. Machines and men that are
now producing weapons of destruc-
tion in Incredible quantity, can
supply the goods of peace in an
equally incredible quantity. In all
probability we will be the only
large nation left on earth whose
industries will not have been
smashed by war.
1t will be up to these Industries,
to free American enterprise, to, re-
build shattered and starved world.
And they can do it if private capi-
tai and the organization genius of
the common American are released
from the bear hug of the inevitable
wartime bureaucracy. AS Paul Cad
man, economist of the American
Bankers Association, has pointed
out, we have no other choice. We
will either release the productive
capacity and the capital of this
country for the task of rebuilding
the world, or we face bankruptcy
and collapse at home.
Free enterprise has got to pro-
duce as it never produced before If
a national debt of two or three hun
dred billion dollars is to be SER
Weed. In short, the world will
tragically need the products of our
industries and our country will
need the sources of financial
strength which those industries can
give. That truth should be brought
home to every man and woman at
home and in the factory. Free en-
terprise is the key to the mainte-
nance of representative govern
ment. This has always been true,
but never more so than now. Our
mines, our factories, our natural
resource industries such as coal
and oil and timber; our service in
dustries, including electricity and
transportation, as well as our cred
it institutions and our banks, are
all part of the American system.
Keeping them operating under the
management of private citizens is
the surest. guarantee to the men on
the battlefront that we intend to
save here in our own country the
liberties that the yare giving their
lives to restore to the rest of the
runrld

TRAINING THE PRODUCTION
SOLDIER

Despite the recent note of rising
optimism on the home front, those
responsible for planning America s
part in defeating the Axis are not
letting wishful thinking slow down
plans for an ever-swelling war pro-
duction. From Detroit, our greatest
production front, comes word that
the automobile industry probably
will more than meet the astronomi-
cal figures set for this years war
output by President Roosevelt But
the slogan of the automobile MAX
ers today is just what it was when
the Japs sneaked over Pearl Har-
Dor: More, and still more, will be
producedi
This not only means expanded
plants, new machine tools and ma
chimes and overtime work by the
men at the machines; it also means
training new workers by the thou
sands and giving new skills to ex-
perienced workers. This part of
the production program is just as
important as building the new
plants and retooling the old ones.
That this fact is appreciated by
the Detroit manufacturers is evil
denced by the effort being put
forth by the General Motors Insti-
tute at Flint, Michigan, which is
now working around the clock" in
the greatest training program in
its % years. Just as the war pro-
duction quotas are continually be-
ing revised upward, the Institutes
program has been expanded far be-
yond the 10000 men and women or
iginally affected in the war effort.
The Institute is training 5000
General Motors men and women
each week for war work in more
than 80 General Motors plants. In
addition, it is engaged in rapidly
program of training Off
GERS of the Army's mechanical |
units to serve as instructors in the
use and maintenance of General |
Motors war products. All worker /
instruction at the Institute is aim
ed at speeding American war pro-
duction. Its graduates already have
contributed Importantly to the Cor
poration's war program, particu-
larl yin reaching volume produc-
Lion of new weapons.
This worker training is the indis-
pensable second half to soldier
training. Together, the two add up
10 victory.

MUCH BETTER THAN
WAS EXPECTED

I'VE have made faster progress
on our war production than we had
even hoped to make. The situation
is much better than the public may
have been led to expect"
That is encouraging news from
C. E. Wilson, President of General
Motors, who offers these ample sta
tistics to substantiate the state
ment:
For instance, during the week
ending February IA, General Mo-
tors had on its payrolls total of
161, 1892 factory workers. The cor
responding figure for the average
employment for the whole year
1899 was 152,0O0-fewer than we
now have. But in February these
employees averaged A hours per
week, while in 1899 they averaged
only 35. This means that General
Motors has already achieved a war
promotion activity greater than its
total normal business activity in
1899. 1t is true that our employ
ment is below the average of 1910
when we had 10000 factory work.
ers and below the peak employ
ment In June, 1941, when we had
235,000. Our schedules call for in
creasing employment from now on
and by this fall more people will
be working in General Motors
plants than ever before.
General Motors is undertaking
the manufacture for our govern
ment of about 10 per cent in value
of all war material requiring metal
fabrication. We are already in
quantity production on such items
as aircraft engines, Navy Diesel en-
gines, machine guns, anti-aircraft
cannon, shells, army trucks and
many other items. We have three
big plants exclusively producing
aircraft engines, backed up by
parts production from our Chevro-
let, Buick and Cadillac factories.
We have a huge tank program,
calling for the production of light,
medium and heavy tanks. We are
preparing for the production of
three different types of complete
airplanes, in addition to the bonn
Der parts already in production. We
will be producing many sizes of
larger cannon and gun carriages,
as well as many other items.
General Motors has 80 factories,
of which SO are already either pro-
ducing war material or are being
re-arranged and re-tooled for war
production. War work will be
found for the remaining four, or
they will be sold or leased to the
or other contractors.
I'VE recognize that our job is
war production. We are using all of
our plants, machinery, engineering
and manufacturing experience,
with a determination to do the job
and help win the war in the short
est possible time"
