iii There is an important lesson TO be learned from
the four month record of American production. 1t
is simply that we have stupendous capacity for in
dustrial output, once we make up minds to work
with single purpose, to thrust every ounce of en-
crgy into single task. This is being done and in
consequence turning out greater quantities OF
weapons and supplies than many of our best
informed experts production believed possible

TRAINING WORKERS

The ability of American industry to train work.
in hurry for jobs in essential war plants seems
to be proved beyond doubt in the of the steel
industry
During the period of approximately Is months
ending last December 81 the American Iron and Steel
Institute reports nearly $4,000 employees of this in
dustry entered military service and their replacement
was accomplished without serious curtament of pro-
ducton at any time largely through the aid of quick
training courses for new workers.
Fer several months after the Selective Service
Act became effective some steel companies adopted
the policy of requesting few occupatona deferments
despite the fact that many of the workers being in
Quoted were key employees engaged in manufacture
ing steel for war equipment. Later, however steel
companies began to follow the practice of asking oc-
cupational deferments for all essential workers.
Since declared, however, draft boards
have been making their requirements for deferment
more severe.

"The stars incline
but do not compel"
SUNDAY, MAY II

Benefic aspects prevail today
which should be marked by news OF
great significance. 1t is favorable
day for those who guide their fellow
men, The clergy should benefit.
HEART AND ME: Families
will turn to church going and will
be interested in religious obServ-
ances at this time when world perils
cause concentration on serious sub
jects Old faiths will gain new fol-
lowers, while PHILOSOPHERS of many
sorts will attract students. This
springtime is to reveal the spiritual
significance of human experiences.
Bible prophesieS as well as astrol-
ogy seem to presage the evolution
CT mankind Through world agonies,
nations are to be purified and pre-
pared for better living and lasting
peace.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Special at
tention will be given to new forms
Of concentrated food through the
coming Summer, it is foretold.
Science will add much to knowledge
already acquired. Feeding the world
is to become one of the principal
tasks of the United States which
has gained fame for its manner of
lproyidin ing for our men in all
branches of the service. Starving
victims of Hitler aggression will reach
such straits that help must be Of
fered at any cost, astro!pgers fore
! tell. This means added work for
thousands of men and women in all
parts Of the country.
NATIONAL ISSUES: AS war SER
vice becomes the duty of men and
women of every class the advantage
of using individual talents and ex-
perience to the best advantage will
be of paramount Importance. Every
one must now offer what is best for
the nation. Scientific ans mechani-
cal knowledge will be in greater
demand each week as the public
realizes that losses ON land and sea
mean the blotting out of splendid
possibilities in human achievement.
Heroes will be found in shops and
factories as we'll as in airplanes
and battleships.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

NO. 1 BOOK READER

The man who has read the most
books in the world is what his as
sociates in the Library of Congress
call Charles Martel, gray, CHEEKY
little man who has been in the
cataloguing division since 1897.
He himself is not sure of the
number of books he has read. He
replies, We'll, let's see. Eight hours
day, 100 pages an hour, 43 years
makes-what would you guess?'
Library experts put the number
at not less than $4,000 books. Mar
tel smiles gently, and keeps on
reading.
Born in Switzerland 80 years ago,
Martel lived with an uncle who
ran a booK-5hop in Zurich. He be-
came such an authority on the
stock OF the shop that whenever a
customer inquired about the con-
tents of a book, the uncle would
summon young Charles.
He still reads prodigiously and
every day can be found in his cub
byhole office porting over piles of
books that cover every inch of the
floor. Most modern books, Martel
considers to be trash. Heavy stuff
is his meat. Rants famous Crit
ique of Pure Reason slowed Martel
up the most. He was able to de-
your it only at the rate of 20 pages
an hour as compared to his normal
pace Of 100 pages an hour.
Martel retired ten years ago as
head Of the cataloguing division,
but the Library asked him to con-
tinue in sort of emeritus status
as consultant. He eagerly agreed
because to him reading is living
Martel never stops reading.
After a 95 day at the library,
he settles down at home to some
private reading. And when he re-
tires, he reads in bed before going
to sleep.

Mysterious Influence
Mr.. Parish Il would like to make
Just one comment on the general
objective. as | understand it, that
this subcommittee is dealing with,
and that is, YOU are trying to find
out. has there been any delay in
the production of synthetic rubber?
If there has been any delay whose
fault is it or what caused it? I
imply want to reiterate that / can't
find any logical reason why any
rubber company or any oil company
would be concerned with, or a par
ty TO. any delay
There mas been some reluctance,
and / might say some slow move
ment, on the part OF government
authorities. My thinking apparatus
tells me there has been, perhaps
some influence at work that has
caused some delay"
Senator Truman: I'VE want to
find GU. what that influence is ana
see if we can stop it,"
Mr. Parish 1 don't know what
has caused the decay. Iner,. has
been some reluctance on the part
oft he government to push this
question and to put money into It.
They might have thought nothing
was going to happen to our sup
plies in the Far East. They might
not have taken the threat of d
shortage seriously. or they may
have been influenced by other con-
siderations."
Note In his testimony before
the Committee, RFC Boss Jesse
Jones vehemently denied that he
was responsible for the synthetic
rubber delay.
