w. P. B. Survey

The eff0rt bN war PrOQuCtlOn
Board Chairman Donald NJ. Nelson
to freeze" his staff at the present
level, or perhaps cut 1t down, Is an
important undertaking. indicating
as 1t does an awareness by response
bic officials of the inefhciency in
herent in top-heavy organization,
as we'll as the desirability of checking
the continued expansion OF govern
mental units.
In common with other agencies,
particularly those connected with the
war effort, the board has undergone
now has more than 5000 employees.
Figures for December, the last avail
able, put the total at $500. 1t Is the
purpose of a survey instituted by Mr..
Nelson to find out Just what relation
the size of this force bears to the
needs of the establishment.
From top to bottom, employees are
filling out questionnaires designed to
show their duties and experience.
Supplementing this step are personal
interviews. From this program, off,
cials hope to determine II better use
can be made of employees by reas-
signment and If there is a surplus Of
personnel in the board, created
either by duplicated activities or un-
necessary hiring.
The survey is Of type frequently
employed in the commercial world,
and Mr.. Nelson has brought in ex-
perts from private business to direct
it. This procedure is peculiarly
adapted to an organization so closely
identified with business operations.
1t is to be assumed that those in
charge OF the study are qualified to
distinguish between the actual re-
quirements of an establishment Of
this nature and bureaucratic tend
encies that cause expansion having
no relation to need. The latter too
often is responsible for growth, and
men conversant with business prac-
tices should be able quickly to decide
II this factor has Influenced the de-
velopment of the War Production
Board.
Equally as important as the study
itself. however. is the principle un-
derlying it, and the example that
Chairman Nelson Is setting for other
Federal officials. For two months
the Budget Bureau has been attempt
ing to bring some semblance of order
into the personnel situation here by
surveying the possibilities OF large
scale transfers from non-war to war
units, but progress has been slow.
The same holds good for the study
by the Tydings Senate subcommittee.
Meanwhile, the civilian army has
grown by thousands.
1t will be a distinct accomplish
ment II Mr.. Nelson is able to halt
this growth within his own agency,
and his efforts we'll might be emu
lated elsewhere in the Government.

The cinchona tree grows in several

than a small fraction of the normal

Though the Federal Government has
built up a substantial stockpile, our
entrance into the war has greatly
increased our needs. To guard their
health, in the tropics and elsewhere,
the armed forces will require large
supplies OF quinine There must
be no repetition, on the fighting

The CrAnSporCaCion APPROPRIATENESS appointed to consider school prob lems in a recent survey by the de- fense council reported in 6 cOm- munication to Mayor Scully that be- tween one thousand and twelve hundred students use buses be- tween 2 and 8 6. Hn., occupying from 25 to 90 busses or approxi- mately one-quarter of the total number available in Waterbury. The committee expressed the opinion that elimination of travel by gtu- dents between those hours would relieve the overcrowded condition and aid war-workers in getting to their places of occupation.
 Mayor Scully who presided at the meeting pointed out that surveys are being made by the defense council on the opening hours of stores lo- cated in the center of the city and on the possibility of staggering industrial hours. He spoke of the necessity of spreading the trans portation load, and said that recon" mendations to other units may fol- low soon. He added that shoppers may be asked to use busses only between the hours of 10 and l2 and 2 to 4 which are the low levels for use of transportation.
 Bus companies will be requested to cooperate by denying transporta- ton to students prior to 7:60 a. m. and by using chartered busses, now used prior to 7:5O @. rn., on regular schedules hereafter for war-workerS. The committee in its report ex- pressed its awareness that school students may feel some inconven- fence in a change of schedule but that 1t should be endured for the duration as a sacrifice to the war schedule. War-workerS should have priority, 1t stated.
 Private and parochial schools whose pupils use buses in compe- tition with workers in war indus try also will be requested to change their schedules in accordance with the recommendation of the defense council.
 The new schedule of opening hours will be put into effect this month instead of at the start of the next school term in order to enable authorities to study its effect now and be prepared for whatever action may be necessary in Sep- tember.
 Grammar schools will not be ef- fected by the new ruling as few grammar school pupils use busses and the opening hours are S:30 or later.
