JUNEAU SCOUTS TO TAKE PART
 IN COLLECTION

Juneau's Boy Scouts of America today prepared to take an active part in the city's rubber salvage campaign.
 District Scout Commissioner w. c. Kennel announced the members of the city's six troops will contact boat owners at the small boat harbor in an effort to secure as many of the rubber tires used for lenders as possible. The Scouts, in turn will help the boat owners re- place rubber lenders with rope, and will splice the new hemp lenders
 A supply of rope has been located and efforts are being made to clear the tracks for the use of the rope for this purpose.
 In addition, the troops will can vas the city's homes in a move to collect as much overlooked rubber as possible and a contest is on among the troops to see which one brings in the largest amount.
 The Scouts will sell their scrap at Bowling & Davlin Co. where a record of the amount turned in will be kept. With the profits, the Scouts plan to aid some worthy charitable organization or use the money for needed Scout equip ment.

British, Too, Wage
Rubber Scrap Drive

Britain is we'll away with her SUM-
mer offensive" in the vast drive for that
most vital war material. rubber.
Throughout the country households, ga
RACES, factories, public utility undertak-
1ngs, hospitals, sports clubs and busi-
ness premises have been asked to turn
out all unWanted old rubber And the
response has been tremendous.
At home mother turned out leaking
hot-water bottles and rubber boots.
Torn rubber aprons, gloves and bathing
caps, worn -out heels and soles, old mats
and that broken wringer roller were SAL
vaged for the national effort. Useless
sponges, tap and teapot spouts, door
stops and draught excluders all Joined
the heap
Then father put out for collection the
old auto tires lying about in the garage.
He noticed some worn-out bicycle and
baby carriage tires and tubes, and added
those to the pile; then some broken gar
den hoses and watering-can spouts, a
useless swimming float and some punc-
tured rubber cushions.
When they came home from school,
where they had heard all about the
saving of waste rubber in one of the
lectures prepared by the Ministry Of
Supply's Salvage and Recovery Board,
young Mary and Tommy enthusiastical-
ly turned out their play cupboards, and
their broken rubber toys and balls joined
the heap of rubber awaiting collection.
Tires are by far the most important
scrap rubber articles, particularly those
from autos, trucks and other heavy

On May 13 of this year Congress

Yards Tremendously Enlarged
Between January and April of this
year, there was suddenly flung over all
existing programs new and secret one,
the effect of which has been described
as that Of "a smothering blanket" 1t
received precedence over all other naval
construction, and called for thousands of
craft of varying sizes. Cries of "impos-
sible and hopeless" had saluted each
previous new burden. They redoubled
over this imperative and unexpected de-
mand. But in some manner the job got
under way. and promises to be finished
on schedule. This is considered high
in the field, the executives of shipyards
and their labor forces.
There were IL privately ship
yards doing naval work in June 1910.
Today there are more than 300. The
number of Navy yards engaged in ship
building remains eight as before, but all
have been tremendously enlarged.
Workers on naval shipbuilding jobs have
increased from 100000 to more than
100000, and will be recruited to an even
larger figure when the program reaches
its peak next summer There is no
estimate of the number of workers at
industrial establishments engaged on
naval contracts.
The policy has been to utilize and eX-
pand existing facilities to the greatest
extent possible. But hundreds of new
enterprises had to be set up. Impor-
tant among these are the Seattle Ia
coma Shipbuilding Corp, the Console
dated Steel Corp. in Texas. the Los An
geles Shipbuilding e. Drydock Co., the
inland submarine yard at ManitoWoc,
| Wis, and the Cramp Shipbuilding Co.,
on its old World War I site in Phila-
delphia. In view of the strategic situa-
| ton, the Bureau of Ships has found it
necessary to supply repair facilities for
| fleet maintenance along all American
coast lines
Speed of construction has exceeded
expectation. The conclusion date for
the overall program originally sched-
uled for l947. has been put forward two

years. The bulk of the work bids fair
to be completed in 1945. with only
small number of ships going over into
1916. The building time for various
craft, based on the best actual per-
formance to date in each class, has been
slashed as follows: Battleships, from AZ
to 20 months; carriers, from As to "a;
heavy cruisers, 36 to o. light cruisers,
38 to 20: destroyers 81 to IL, and subma-
rines, 21 to II. 1t is now possible to
build destroyer in six or seven months,
and submarine-the most intricate job
in all naval construction-in seven or
eight months.
Since extended periods are required to
develop contracts, the Bureau of Ships
long ago adopted strategy of working
them out in advance of actual appropria-
tions. and then making the formal
awards as soon as money became avail
able On September g. 1910, the day on
which cash was provided for the 70 per
cent expansion program, the Bureau of
Ships executed contracts for 1879 vessels,
and concluded the rest within the next
fey weeks.
To date. only limited authority from
the President has been obtained for the
f1ve-ocean-fleet program, which will re-
quire s21 ,901 s431, ,141 for shipbuilding and
375,512 500 for facilities. The smaller
sum is earmarked as follows: Privately
owned yards, for building and repairs, 80
per cent; Navy yards 40 per cent and
privately owned industries, % per cent.
Tanklighters Criticized.
The Bureau of Ships established a
record OF phenomenal speed in repairing
vessels and facilities damaged at Pearl
| Harbor and thus made an important
| contribution to the victory of Midway
| Island and The successful offensive in the
| Solomons. But the bureau is at present
| under criticism over matter of design,
| affecting tanklighters, which are an es-
sential part of the boat landing program
Ihsl program is regarded as one of three
bottlenecks, the others being aviation
and merchant shipping, against large
scale American participation In a second
| ront during 1912.
Several weeks ago, Senator Truman
sent public letter, buttressed with con-
hdentlal reports and exhibits, to Secre-
tary of the Navy Knox, which accused
the Bureau CT Ships of "negligence or
Wlllful misconduct" in clinging stubbornly

With the occupation of Paris, ship
construction became suddenly the Navy
Departments overwhelming business.
The prospective five-ocean-f1eet program
involves appropriations totaling $24 ,276,-
925,631 for ships and facilities alone, ex-
elusive of ordnance and aeronautical
equipment. Charged with the expendi-
ture of that astronomical sum will be
the Bureau of Ships, which had already
emerged as predominant among the de-
partments seven bureaus, with stellar
responsibility in the job of winning the
war.
During the era of expansion, the
Bureau of Ships is accounting for a
major part-estimated at 60 to IS per
cent-of all naval appropriations. A
towering proportion of the bureaus
transactions is handled in turn by its
Shipbuilding Division, the figure being
placed unoficially as high as 80 per cent.
The magnitude of the task may be
reckoned from glance into the past.
During the fiscal years 1930-40, the Navy
completed only 1873 complaint vessels
four carriers, 81 cruisers 70 destroyers,
80 submarines, two gunboats and no
battleships. By years, the new acces-
sions of fighting ships were as follows:
1890, five; 1881. five; 1882, none; 1898,
three; 1884, eight; 1885, six; 1896, nine
1887. 80; 1888, 25; 1889, II; and l94O %.
Four Battleships in 1912.
According to the latest report of the
House Naval Affairs Coppo;ttee tho
Navy completed so combatant ships dur
ing the fiscal year 1941-42, or nearly
half the total for the pre-war decade.
| -Four new battleships were launched dur
ing 1912, with prospect of two or more
in 1943. Under construction last June
80 were 3,448 American and lend-lease
combatant, auxiliary, patrol and mine
vessels, to say nothing of l1,759 district
craft. Increase of production during the
emergency has been tenfold.
| The VinSonT Trammel Act of 1884 was
the first step toward replacing tonnage
scuttled under the terms of the 1922
| Washington Conference. For six years
it lay unimplemented by appropriations
| An act of May II, 1898, authorized an
| expansion of 20 per cent in nava
strength. No actual money was supplied
| under the Vinson- -Trammel Act until
June IA, 1910, the day on which the Ger
mans entered Paris. Congress then voted
an appropriation for an II per cent ex.
pansion of the feet through construction
of $1,000 combatant tons, including
carriers, cruisers and IA submarines.

Possibility Unlimited For Increasing
Labor Force For Greatest War Effort

Last week it was said, in speaking
of the financial impact of the war,
"that we can go ahead with the full
confidence that we can raise without
difficulty whatever amount of money
is necessary to carry US to victory"
That, of course, is encouraging, but it
is only one aspect of the economic
problem facing US. What of our labor
supply? Can we raise an enormous
army-say four or five million men
and at the same time find the man
power to turn out the volume of goods
necessary to make US a real arsenal
of democracy?
The answer to that question in
wolves three elements: ~ the volume
of unemployment today, (2) our
ability to increase the size of onr labor
force, and 81 our ability to get more
work out of our existing labor force.
AS to the first of these factors, we
still have to do a bit of guessing. Un-
employment figures in this country
are disgracefully incomplete and in
conclusive. According to some stu
