Stark Urges Industry
To Match Zeal Of
Men in Services
Bigger War Production
Would Speed Victory,
Admiral Tells NAM
BY the Associated Press.

ES the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Dec. 4.-Admiral
Harold R. Stark today challenged
American industry and workers
to match the unflagging zeal and
devotion of the men in the
armed services.
The commander of the United
States naval forces in the European
theater said in message from
overseas to the National Association
of Manufacturers Convention:
We have hit harder than we have
been hit. We look to the day when
our material strength will be so
great that we can choose our time
and place. impose our will, and force
the earliest possible decision
Every One Asked to Help.
The message, read to the conven-
ton by NAM President w. P.
Wltherow, asked:
IF all of you, whether in manage
ment or labor, live with the same
sense of urgency as the man on the
firing line, would it not be possible
to increase our output of weapons
and the ships to carry them 10, Is
or even 25 per cent?
Think what that would mean
The hour of maximum pressure on
the enemy in all theaters would be
Just that much advanced.
IF the man on the fighting front
Is knocking out the other fellow
harder than he is being knocked and
II the worker on the home front is
sending implement OF destruction to
the vital points Of contact faster
than can the enemy, there is an
accelerated victory in the making.
Every man must do his utmost
Out-producing your opposite num-
Der in Germany and Japan is Just
as much a nail in his coffin as a
bayonet in his belly"
The message, which was broad =
cast, declared:
In 48 hours our country will enter
the second year of its fight for free
men in a free world When that
night began our commander in chief
the President, made it clear that
our first victory must be in the bat
tie OF production.
Our Strategy Explained.
1--WE had been forced to begin
two-ocean war with a one ocean
navy. From a material standpoint,
the Jap in the Pacific was stronger
than we were here.
I'VE therefore initially had to
maneuver so that we might take
more toll than we suffered. In that
way In time we could overcome the
odds against us. In that way we
could prepare for the day for when
We can take an all-out offensive.
There is an additional way to
hasten that all-out offensive. That
way is to replace losses and to build
up faster than can the enemv
Other things being equal produc-
ton can decide the issue.
Other things being in our favor
production can speed the victory and
save the whole human race months
or even years Of anguish"

Gen. Mitchell Asserts;
SEQ Attack Expected
By CLAUDE A. MAHONEy


Giving additional details on
the aviation defenses Of Guadal-
canal, Maj, Gen. Ralph J. Mitch
ell, director of Marine Corps
aviation, today told a press con-
ference that Henderson Airfeld
really is five separate landing
strips, with sixth going in.
Now and then it is advantageous
to move from one strip to another.
he added, as when "Millimeter Pete :"
the Japanese artillery in the hills.
concentrates on one. The strips
are built almost due east and west
to take advantage of prevailing
winds.
The strips are on a grassy plain
near the shore, and there is ample
room for expansion, Gen. Mitchell
said. 1t Is little more than a mat
ter of skinning the grass from the
surface. AS for the use of the field
In the rainy season, which is soon
to come, he said he was not sure
how soft the runWays would get.
Must Be Driven Out.
Asked if it would be necessary to
drive the Japs completely from
Cuadalcanal before extending op-
erations to another theater, Gen.
Mitchell said he believed it most
advisable" Communiques of the
last few days, including one today,
spoke of American patrols that are
searching the jungles and hills for
the small bands of Japs that fed
the clearings when the marines
came to the island in August, Find
ing them is difficult, for they are
sometimes hidden in jungles 80
thick you can't see through.
occasionally 1t is necessary to
bomb holes in the dense growths.
Discussing further the existence
of the small units of Japs, he said
they could probably continue for a
considerable time without additional
food being brought in.
The Japs don't require much
food" he said. There is some ma
tive food grown and they probably
can get along on that for a time
I don't think the ones there now
are we'll fed The thing that might
count is the military supplies, for
they must have ammunition. I am
inclined to believe some is slipping
in at night in small boat landings"
Damage to Field Slight.
The Japanese air forays were
termed pest raids" by Gen. Nit
chell. He said they came over in V
formations described as loose fly
ing. Since there are few buildings,
the field is the main target and the
damage generally is slight. Besides,
when Gen. Mitchell left the island
on October % the score of planes
shot down was 310 japanese to 81
American. The ratio has remained
about the same since that time.
The bombers come from Rabaul,
q 1,200-mile round trip, and pick up
the fighters at Buka Island an 300
mile round trip for them. The
bombers are twin-motored and the
only four-engined Japanese ship
seen there was seaplane.
Agreeing with Secretary Knox,
Maj. Gen. Mitchell said he believed
the Japs would make further at
tempts to retake the island.
L anticipate a fourth round" he
said.

Threat 10 War Output
Ended as Michigan
Strike Is Averted
U. S. and Stute Mediutors
Settle Pay Dispute Of
Power Firm Employees
BY the Associated Press


SAGINAW. Mich. Dec. "A
strike Of employees of the Consumers
Power Co. which threatened to
cripple war production in much Of
lower Michigan has been averted, it
was announced shortly after noon
by representatives OF the Federal
and State Labor Mediation Services.
Frederick H. Bullen, War Labor
Board mediator, and Noel P. Fox,
member of the State Mediation Labor
Board said In statement that the
disagreement on major issues of
the dispute that caused a break
down Of negotiations have been
resolved and settled" and that
therefore any obstacle to the COM
pletion OF the contract negotiations
has been removed"
The threatened strike, which had
been called for midnight tonight,
besides upsetting war production
activities in many industrial centers
of the lower peninsula would have
disrupted civilian life over much
OF the area dependent for light and
fuel on the company.
The call for the strike was issued
last Sunday by the Michigan Joint
Utility Workers Council (CIO) to
enforce demands for wage conces-
sions and union shop contract. AS
outlined in the strike call the work
stoppage would have affected 10
Michigan cities. outside Detroit.
The mediators said the union had
called meeting of the Utility Work
ers Organizing Committee to be
held in Lansing December 6, to sub
nit the negotiated contract for rati-
fication.
Earlier today, Herman r. Chad
wick, president of the UWOC, said
that an agreement had been reached
tentatively on the union shop issue,
one Of the points in dispute On a
second point, wage increases, Mr..
Chadwick said. the company was
being asked to make October l the
retroactive date.

thetic rubber in the fall of 1943
will. to all practical purposes, be
down to the absolutely dangerous
deadline of 10000 tons, and by the
end of l943 will have been built up
to only 175,000 tons
For that reason, he said: 1T is
clear that there is every necessity
for continuing through the critical
fall of l943 policy of rigid conser-
vation of rubber
Mr.. Jeffers said the public still
did not seem to fully understand the
rubber situation. adding:
They do not understand the vital
Importance of making their present
tires last. nor do they comprehend
the sacrifices in convenience driv-
ing and pleasure driving which must
be made. if each mans car is to
continue at his own disposal for the
essential driving our whole war
economy demands.
an much of the newly rationed
area, they do not fully understand
that gas rationing is undertaken
solely to conserve rubber.
I'm many sections they resent gas
rationing and will continue to resent
it and oppose it, until they have
been made to see that less gas means
less driving: that less driving means
the preservation of their own tires
for their own use against that period
sometime in 1914 when further sup
plies of rubber should become avail
able for civilian tires.
'Only when this rubber is avail
able can rationing be relaxed
Mr.. Jeffers said large part of
the public had been led to believe
that certain regulations for the con-
troll of tire supply insure that on
December l tires of one or another
kind Tor recaps, will become avail
able to all who need them"
1t was evident that the reference
was to December /, 1912. for the
report. although not released until
today, was dated November 80.
A scientist urged the committee
to but check on the creation of
cars of Government programs.
Testifying on the Kilgore bill to
establish an Office of chronological
mobilization, Col Bradley Dewey,
deputy to Mr.. Jeffers, said the meas
ure would build up another bu-
reaucracy that would drain industry
of its scientifically trained men.
1T would create another of these
cars to head up the Office" Col.
Dewey said.
Aren't we having a fashion in
czars right now?" asked Chairman
KilRore.
"Yes, We are, and this Office would
require an over all czar of all czars," !"
Cox Dewey replied. .....

Age Security Scheme
Gives Britons Chance
To Plan for Peace
Beyeridge's Proposal
Debated to Prepare
For End of War
BY VICTOR GORDON LENNox

BY VICTOR GORDON LENNON
Special Correspondent of The Star and
1oNDSM SCMnlcaE9 e. Daily News,
here were shocked when Production
Minister Oliver Lyttelton stated that
the war could be won by next June
put that reaction sprang from a
long period when contemplation of
an early enemy defeat was con-
demned as wishful thinking.
Today, the people have a sub
conscious feeling that perhaps the
END is nearer than they should allow
themselves to think and that it is
the merest prudence to make prepa-
ratlons against the risk of being
caught unprepared for the peace
Social Security Plan Studied.
That is why discussion of Sir
William Henry Beveridge's social
security plan and of kindred post
war problems is being conducted
most actively by those not having
direct responsibility for the conduct
OF the war and, consequently, are
able to address their minds to these
Welghty problems affecting the
whole concept of postwar world.
ATeady constructive examination
OF Sir Williams freedom from
want plan has started. The British
caolnet has nominated Sir John
Anderson, lord president of the
council, to conduct a ministerial
examination.
Ihe powerful Conservative 1922
Committee, representing the Peers
ana commons, has appointed a sub
committee, after a tWo-hour hearing
on Sir Williams personal explana-
tons Tuesday, to study the scheme.
Inc liberals are acting similarly.
Before Christmas the Socialists
Jointly with the British Trade
Unions Council, are to hold a Joint
conference on the subject.
Large Issues Studied.
Already, as anticipated, there are
signs of factional criticism from the
vested interests, but the more con-
structlVe discussion fixes on larger
issues. Thus, it begins to be real
lied that Britain could not long
pursue an ideal and necessarily
costly policy alone, but only in con-
cert with other nations.
After the last war, responding to
public demand for greatly extended
social services, the government
found itself obliged to cut down its
defense program if budget balance
were to be maintained without plac-
ing excessive burdens on industry.
1t is widely agreed that that pol
icy substantially contributed to per-
mitting the present disastrous re-
sumption of armed conflict. Never
theless, the present social services
are costing 432,O0O,OOO pounds ster-
ling CS1728,0OO OOOO annually and
Sir William contemplates an initial
increase to 697,00e,e00 pounds, ris-
Ing after 20 years to 858,OoO,OOO
pounds.
