NEW YORK, Sept. "A more
pronounced seasonal upturn in re-
tail trade during the last week was
reported today by Dun & Brad

Cooler weather and increased ad-
vertising were credited by the mer-
camille agency for the increase in
consumer interest In fall merchan-
disc.
Retailers estimated total sales
above 194l levels for the first time
since last spring" the agency said
in its review Of the week. It pointed
out. however, that the Labor Day
holiday fell in the corresponding
1941 week.
The expansion in buying gave no
earmarks Of the anticipatory spend

Double Output for

By the Associated Press.

By the Associahd Press,
BURBANK, Calf, Sept 4.-Robert
Z. Gross, president OF the Lockheed
Aircraft Corp, reported yesterday
that Lockheed and its subsidiary,
Vega, almost doubled the produc-
ton of planes and parts in the first
six months of this year over the
total output for 1910 and 1941.
He said in an interim letter report
that production for July alone ex-
ceeded that for all of 1910.
While War Department regula-
tions prohibit publication of the
figures, Gross told the stockholders
that profits for the six months,
after providing for what we feel
to be reasonable reserves for taxes
and contingencies" were approx
imately asa per cent of sales, COM
pared with SIS per cent for the first
six months Of 1941.
The production showing, Gross
said, was due in large part to the
high morale and untiring efforts
OF the employees.

Collection Methods Outlined.
In normal times, Mr.. Nelson ex-
planned, most people knew little
about scrap-it was something the
Junk man hauled away. He pointed
out that the sources of scrap and
wasted materials were almost end
less. AS an example he cited aban-
doned or little-used railroad tracks
and bridges, which were made oi
steel, the most urgently needed
product at the moment.
Mr.. Nelson said the newspapers
could be of tremendous value in the
scrap drive by urging their readers
to turn in household and farm scrap
to search their barns, Easements
garages and attics for stray pieces
of metal and other discarded bits OF
equipment which could be salvaged
Mr.. Nelson said there were two
ways in which scrap materials could
be collected. One would be by q
large aggregation OF Government
people. The other was to organize
the salvage drive so the people would
voluntarily cooperate.
They didn't do that in Germany
or Japan" Mr.. Nelson commented
Every nickels worth of scrap wa.
collected in those countries by gov
ernment agents. But I am moi
speaking to you as a dictator. ]
am appealing for another sort O,
dictatorship-the conscience of the
people"
Gen. Somerveli Speaks.
1t. Gen. Brehon Somervell. com.
manding general of the Army's Serv-
ices OF Supply, pointed out that the
reason Germany and Japan were
able to wage a successful war. de-
spite their lack of certain materials
such as steel. was that they were
FULLY prepared when they went tc
war.
They are coasting along with
what they had" he said. Their
problem is quite different from ours
We are just beginning to build ur
our war production. We are beating
plows into swords" he added in
discussing the salvage campaign.
Gen. Somervell declared that "i,
we can lick the steel program we will
have gone long way toward win.
ming the war
The Army, he said, has tried to sci
an example by stripping its posts Of
all unnecessary materials, such a.
captured guns and other trophies.
Unless everybody puts every.
thing he can into this war, we arr
not going to win it," he added.
