War Or Peace Niche
 Made For Typewriters
'Unmade" Machines Aid Production of Rifles Shells;
 Finished Products Write History of War

The typewriters we are not Ynak- ing this year will fight the battles of the United Nations in the forms of rifles and shells while the type writers we already have will record the progress of those battles on the sands of the Egyptian desert and in the skies over Western Europe.
 The typewriter industry, employ ing 17,O0O workers in the manu- facture of 1,260O00 standard and portable machines with total sales value of $85, 100000 in 1941, has slashed its normal production by 35 per cent and is expected to be en- tirely converted to war work by early fall. The typewriter is an invaluable aid to peacetime business, but it is indispensable tool in modern war.
 6OO,OOO Needed
 Donald M. Nelson, chairman of the War Production Board, has dramatized this by announcing that the fighting forces need 100000 used typewriters and appealing to busl- ness firms and private households to sell standard machines manufactur- ed after Jan. 1, 1885 to Uncle Sam at the market price.
 Unlike some industries, the type writer industry proved to be a ma tural" for conversion to weapons of destruction because of the very na- ture of its product. The average typewriter contains thousands of precision m de screws, springs gears, stamped and cast metal parts IS well as rubber and composition parts. So do carbines, fuses and automatic pistols.
 The industry, moreover, was con- centrated in the hands of six manu- lecturers four of which produced more than 90 per cent of all Ameri- can made typewriters. These are Underwood, Remington, Foyal, l.. Q. Smith and Corona, International Business Machines and Woodstock They were quick to see the necessity of shifting over to war work and quick to adapt their facilities to the problem.
 Last March, at WIPES direction, the five largest manufacturers were permitted to produce up to 75 per cent of their average monthly sales of nonportable units in 1941 and Woodstock was permitted to produce 90 per cent. The four rlskers of portables were restricted up tS Il per cent of their 1941 sales. Thus, the industry is now operating at approximately 35 per cent below the level of its non-portable operations in the early part of the year.
 88e6 For Military
 OG this production, the Army and Navy were allotted 88 per cent of the partables turned out during the balance of the year and 68 per cent of the standard machines Monthly quotas, beginning in June, were set at :l4O9 portables and 15,172 stan- oards for the Army and 959 port ables and 6,081 standards for the Navy. Other government agencies were directed to obtain their ma chimes under rationing by the Pro-

 The industry, meanwhile, forged ahead on war orders amounting to nearly three times the value of its 1941 products. Out of its factories are coming rifles, carbineS, auto matic pistols, machine gun parts ammunition, aircraft propellors, fuses, primers and other components of planes, tanks and radio trans mitters and receivers. It had already produced more than $26,500, 900 worth of war equipment up to Jan. l, 1922 and it's assembly lines are swelling in volume as the months go by.
 The amount of vital materials saved by the curtailment of type writer production adds up to im- posing figures: enough aluminium to supply 48 heavy bombers, enough copper for nearly 300, 900 30 caliber cartridge cases, enough iron and steel for 6,105 castings for army trucks; enough tin for 216 heavy tanks, enough zinc for 800 ten-ton pontoon bridges and enough rubber for 17,000 pneumatic life rafts.

RYAN ASSAILS
 RUBBER STAMPS
Answers Congressman K0pplemann's Statement
 on Length of War

Edward J. Ryan of Thomaston, candidate of the American Pro- gressive party for the United States Congress in the fall election today bitterly denounced the statement made last Saturday by Congress man Herman P. Kopplemann That the war may be prolonged another one, two or more years if. opposl- tion candidates are elected"
 Said MT. Ryan, who is Connectl- cuts outstanding campaigner for an old age pension law for every American Citizen of 60 years of age or over, "the words which were ut tered by MT. Kopplemann must have been uttered without a single thought. They were just words com ing from 8 mans lips who has no better qualification than to mouth one word "Yes." Such a qualification MT. Kopplemann possesses. It ap- pears to be his only qualification for reelection"
 Then said MT. Ryan, What MT Kopplemann, staunch New Dealer would have our people believe IS that there is no important function for the congress to perform except to act as rubber stamp" and to shout ives" to anything and every thing that comes before it."
 "The people of the fifth district of the state of Connecticut have had experiences with such poli- ticians."

that night II I promised to say
good-by to him at the station
without bodyguards.
When I walked into the sta

and greeted me profusely. With
him was his wealthy and socially
