These are just a few of scores of.
production shortcuts the motor
car industry has applied to its job
OF armament manufacture and
thereby stepped up the volume OF
output to levels far ahead OF initial
schedules. There are 50 many OF
these time -telescoping processes
that they have become common
place in the factories.
Shipping Methods Improved.
just as 1t has intensified the pro-
duction task so 1t Is also applying
the mass principle to shipping and
preparing for delivery the goods 1t
is turning out. Weapons and re-
placement parts now are being
shipped from the factories in
boxes and crates less than half the
size required in the earlier days of
the arms production effort.
When the Army tanks first came
OF the arsenal assembly lines, q
tiatcar was required for shipment
Of each unit and it's replacement
parts. Today two OF the tanks are
shipped ON a single fiat freight car.
Shipment Of parts requirements
for the various precision built in
struments-aircraft motors, anti
aircraft cannon, standard machine
guns and other weapons--involve
considerably more than the prob
lem Of space. Because moisture Is
the great enemy Of all such highly
finished precision parts, they are
wrapped and sealed in cases that
would protect them in almost any
contingency.
There also Is the numbering and
cataloguing Of such parts so that
repair crews in the field can identity
them instantly when needed.
The duplicate parts program is a
mammoth one in itself. Nothing
made up of multiple assembled parts
is being shipped from the factories
without adequate replacement parts.
In some instances these parts num-
ber enough to replace an entire in
strument two and three times.
Part Of Industry's Know How
That goes for tanks, for aircraft
and marine motors, for automatic
rifles, machine guns, pursuit and
bomber plane parts. particularly pro-
peller blades, field radio cars and
radio stations and dozens OF other
implements.
All this the industry describes rs
part Of its know -how"-the knowl-
edge accumulated over years of ex-
perience in mass production practice
That has been the car industry's
main contribution to the war pro-
duction effort. The precise tech
nique Of producing Army land and
amphibian tanks, pursuit and bom-
ber planes and, to some extent,
aviation engines may be different In
many respects to that OF producing
passenger cars and trucks, but the
end result Is the same.
It has just one objective: Produc-
ton Of an abundance OF all the
implements needed in the war of
horsepower-and that abundance Is
quickly as possible.

strength in the rails. today's
stock market would have con-
tinued the weeks stalemate.
While many industrial leaders op-
Grated in the minus column from

ton issues managed to emerge with
fractional advances. Scattered spe-
cialties also did we'll compared with
the rest of the list
Boardrooms were Sparcely popu-
lated as numerous customers fol-
lowed the recent custom of calling
Saturday a holiday. Dealings were
slack from the start. Transfers of

Santa Fe at New High.
The Associated Press average of
so stocks was up L of a point but
showed net loss of as much on the
week.
The Russian war news, tax doubts
and imitation confusion still chilled
bullish fervor to a considerable ex-
tent. Rails, however, again were
moderately responsive to cheering
earnings statements of important
roads and growing chances of raised
or reinstated dividends.

ground since 1898 with q gain of !.

The big board made a little prog
ress in spots Monday and Tuesday
despite the apparent waning of in
flation psychology Mid-year sea-
sonal investment demand was a sus-
tanning influence. A last-minute
tumble in steels, attributed to esti-
mates of sharply lower net for "bie
steel" gave the market its worst day
OF the week Wednesday. Selling
dried up Thursday and Friday, In
the face OF generally bearish war
bulletins, and bidding for carriers
helped maintain trend equilibrium.

Meat Shortage
Brings U. 5. 10
'Se|f-Rationinq'
Supplies Proroted
To RetuiI Stores
By Packers
BY Wide World

BY Wide World.
CHICAGO, July 25.-When the
meat shortage developed in vari-
GUS sections OF the country this
week, livestock observers here
were probably the least surprised
people in the country. They
could say with some justice, Il
told you so.'
About two months ago these OBJ
servers, stressing the large amount
OF pork being taken by the armed
forces and the Agricultural Market
ing Administration, Government
lease-lend agency, warned that some
form Of "self-rationing" of meat
would be necessary before the year
was out.
How 1t Works Out.
"Self-rationing" is simply the
pro-rating Of meat supplies by pack
ers to various retail outlets. It OBJ
viates the necessity of "meatless"
days, but the housewife who wants
a particular cut on specific day
can't be sure that she'll get it. If
she gets to the right butcher soon
enough, she will: otherwise, she'll
have to take what she can get.
Obviously, the so-cslled "meat
shortages" reported from many
cities this week were merely self
rationing" There wasn't enough
meat to go around, and packers pro-
rated their supplies among various
localities.
AS far as pork is concerned, trade
observers believe the shortage prob
ably will be cleared up this autumn,
when huge run of hogs will come
to market. The principal worry is
not wether there will be enough
hogs. but wether transportation and
slaughtering facilities will be large
enough to handle them.
Supply Only One Factor.
At the same time, observers cau-
ton that much will depend upon the
amount of pork the ANA and the
armed forces take. Supply Is only
one factor in the equation; demand
Is the other. II the ANA should
expand its already high purchases
Of pork, then it is conceivable that
even the anticipated record hog run
will not provide sufficient pork meat.
There is much doubt, further
more, about the beef situation. Tom
mage of beef is running lower today
because it's improbable for farm
ers to feed cattle to a high tonnage,
observers said. They think this Sit
uation might continue, or even
grow worse, under the present reg
ulations concerning ceilings ON
dressed beef.
Hogs closed the week l0-15 cents
lower. Cattle finished on good
gains. Sheep ended about un-
changed.

Where 10 Store Crop
Puzzles Producers
Of 5oybeans
Formers Moy Have to Use
Their Garages or Even
Buildings in Towns
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 25.-While soy
bean harvest will not get under way
until autumn, producers are already
wondering what they are going to
do with the crop. From all informa-
ton now available, 1t appears that
they will have TO store Z good part
Of 1t on farms.
Heavy wheat production has made
regular storage space scarce, II not
non-existent, and it won't be pos
sible to use railroad cars for that
purpose. As has been done In the
past, because the need for cars to
transport war goods is urgent.
i. Add the increased soybean acreage
to these factors, trade observers
said to-day, and storage on farms
appears to be the only solution.
Visible supply of soybeans last week
totaled l,101,0O bushels against
918y0OO bushels year ago. Although
crop reports show = wide variation
In growth, with some sections still
planting, early sown beans are dis
playing excellent prospects.
Garages May he Used.
Observers said cribs, bins, stalls,
silos, garages, and even occupied
buildings in towns may be used for
storage II they can be made grain
tight and water, chicken. bird and
rat proof.
It was asserted, however, that
beans Of high moisture content will
constitute . special problem. Such
beans probably will have to be dried
on the farm.
Bean futures prices underwent 4
sharp break on Thursday and Fri
day Of this week. Thursday was the
last day Of trading in July con-
tracts, and 4 small amount OF Ii
quidation in that month forced
quotations more than 4 cents lower.
This apparently unnerved longs In
other contracts, because selling on
Friday dropped these quotations 2x
to 3 cents.
There is considerable uncertainty
as to what the final developments
will be from conferences between
ofacials of the Agriculture Depart
ment and trade interests. These
conferences are scheduled for the
latter part OF this month. Trade
interests expect Government agen-
cies will buy at least portion Of
the soybean crop. but the system
Of disposing Of supplies remains
to be settled.
Wheat Movement Watched.
In the wheat pit, traders said the
next thing to look for is the spring
wheat movement, which will be
developing within another week or
10 days.
Modern Miller, trade publication,
said that hot weather early In the
week failed to have much effect on
spring wheat except in eastern Mon
tana where there was some damage.
Harvesting is expected to become
fairly general In about three weeks,
although advanced sections will
start combing before that period.

MIRACLE ON THE CONGO. By
Ben Lucien Burman. John Day
owen FARRELL CLARK)


Company. New York. 1912.
This compact report from the
Free French Front by a famous
American novelist is the first book
on this movement which is especial
ly newsworthy right now. Mr.. Bur-
man was the first American report
er to reach Free French Africa, and
the first to radio to the world the
news that France still lived.
The report is only 153 pages long.
About the size of a John Steinbeck
novelette,, it is written in Stein
beck's pungent style. The book
falls into three sections, the first
consisting of stories centering
around French Equatorial Africa,
the second of adventures in jungle
and desert on the way to Syria and
Transjordan, the third of observa-
tions set down in America during
May of 1912, after watching for
several months the shifting pageant
of world history.
The gist Of Mr.. Burman's report
Nogales international., 1942-12-18

is that the real France is being re-
born on the fever-ridden Congo
His interview with General de
Gaulle is one of the highlights of
the book. The reader soon learns
how De Gaulle despIses the men OF
Vichy and the attitude of Petain.
This little book can be read at
one sitting but it cannot soon be
forgotten. Some of us may well be
confused about France today but all

of us can admire the intrepid Free
French. Even as the reader MUNICH

view, grim Frenchmen are fighting
in jungles and on the Sahara in
order that LA BELLE FRANCE
may not die The arrival of the
Americans and the success of the
British must have thrilled every
Frenchman in that great continent
behind Gods back. LafayetteS
