Archbishop Traces War
To Lack Of PRINCIPLES

The worlds failure to make prog
ress on religious principles laid
down for man 20 centuries ago was
blamed for the present war by the
Most Rev. Michael j. Curley, Arch
bishop Of Baltimore and Washing
ton, at the solemn mass yesterday
commemorating the golden jubilee
Of the Holy Name parish here.
Admitting that progress has been
made in a material way, he said
that If religious principles had been
carried out there never would have
been a war.
THE principles are basically and
essentially one Of love-" he ex-
planned, land love never begets
war"
Archbishop Curley lauded the
work Of Msgr. John w. Bowling,
pastor for the last 10 years Of Holy
Name Church, and said the Sisters
Of st. Joseph, who teach at the
school, are one Of the modern
miracles"-that they receive today
the same compensation they did 40
years ago.

hvered by the Rev. John p. Gala

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 23.-
Steam turbines now under construc-
ton for Americas two-ocean Navy
and expanded merchant marine will
produce enough power to supply the
electrical needs Of all the Eastern
Seaboard States from Maine to
Florida.
They will supply power which
amounts essentially to half Of the
present turbine capacity Of the en-
tire American public utilities in
dustry.
This generalization by Vice Presi-
dent Ralph Kelly Of the Westing-
house Electric g. Manufacturing co.
illustrates the enormous burden
undertaken by American industry
In the present war effort. For this
one company alone it has involved
expenditure of $50, ,000, 900 in expar-
sion of regular plant facilities and
s55 ,0000 900 in building new plants.
1t has involved training boys into
skilled mechanics almost overnight.
It has required enlisting the entire
capacity Of hundreds Of small man
ufacturers and devising hundreds OF
short cuts in manufacturing which
will be applied to civilian industry
after the war.
Breaking Old Routine.
Never before has the work OF the
eficiency engineer counted tor so
much. Industry, like individuals,
forms habits and gets into routine
WAYS of doing things. Simple
changes, like leaving of some COM
plex gadget which is not necessary
or eliminating some decorative
effect, greatly speed UP production
Everywhere one of the major OBJ
stacles in the path of speedy pro-
duction has been scarcity Of some
essential raw materials. Copper Is
cited as a fair example in the elec-
trical industry. There has, as yet
been no major deficiency In this
metal. In peacetime the electrical
industry uses about 40 per cent OF
the Nations output. The NUM-
tions industry uses only very small
amount. Today it is demanding
about 80 per cent, while manufac-
turers Of electrical apparatus ind
their requirements vastly increased
Steel is another example cited by
Westinghouse engineers. There is
plenty of the basic material, iron
But the Nation always has had to

nickel, chromium, manganese and
tungsten OF produce steel Of
strength, hardness, toughness OF

1t long has been known that an
other metal, molybdenum, belong
ing to the nickel family, can be
used to make superior steel. The
United States produces 80 per cent

had great difficulties to overcome IN
learning the proper proportions OF it.
Develop New Alloy.
The Westinghouse scientists now
have developed a new alloy, which
is equal in quality to tungsteel steel
and far less expensive. Besides,
tungsten Is a strategic mineral.
Substitutes have had to be found
for many other materials. For ex-
ample, the cover of an electric
roaster originally was made Of alu-
minum. Plans were made to sub
stitute stainless steel, which con-
tains the almost unobtainable metal
chromium. Soon II appeared that
another substitute must be found.
and an enameled steel cover Is being
effected that will make no drain on
the countrys essential resources.
In several instances vital ele-
ments have been replaced with sill
yer, one of the few metals which
have not been affected by war pri-
critics.
Many substitutes have been de-
veloped for aluminium. Plastics have
taken its place in washing machines
and vacuum cleaners. Glass and
enameled iron have been substituted
for 1t in dishes. Nearly every bit of
it has been removed from electric
refrigerators. All these substitutions
have involved extensive reorganiza-
ton Of manufacturing methods and
development of new skills.
A major development, the engi-
neers point out, is a new type of
plastic, originally intended for parts
Of household appliances, to do away
with sheet steel and thick walls Of
insulating materials. Now this
promises to serve the Army, and de-
velopment is being pushed much
faster than was planned.
Two Types Of Plastics.
Up to the present plastics have
been of two general types. One is
the moulded type which can be
poured or pressed into moulds to
form such odd shapes as ash trays,
fountain pens and small radio cabi-
nets. 1t lacks strength. The other
type is known as "laminated plas-
tic" It is made by piling up layers
of paper, cloth or other sheet ma
terial, impregnating them with
resin, and then hardening them
under pressure and heat. This type
is strong, equaling steel, weight for
weight. But it is impossible to
form it into complex shapes.
The new plastic Is expected to
combine the advantages of both
types. A mixture of wet pulp and
resin firstAis formed in the shape
lof the finished product. Then 1t is
baked under pressure in an oven
to harden the resin.
One of the military uses Is for a
new army helmet. The inner part
of this helmet would be made Of
the performed plastic, which Is
strong but light. This would be
worn by the soldier in ordinary
field operations. During battle .
steel outer shell could be slipped
over the plastic helmet.

The number Of capsules used for
the drawing will be determined by
the highest number Of registrants
reported by any local board. II one
board, for instance, reports 5000
men registered on February 16. it
will be necessary to draw at least
that many numbers In this lottery.
Lottery statistics, however, could
not convey any helpful information
to the enemy because probably only
one local board will have that many
registrants and many local boards
will have only few hundred.
Serial numbers issued to the new
registrants by local boards will be
preceded by the letter ''r" to desig-
nate the third registration.
The numbers begin with 10,00l
because approximately 5000 numbers
were drawn in the first lottery and
300 In the second. It was decided,
therefore, to use numbers from TO-
OO1 up to $4,000 or 10000 in this
lottery.
