NEW YORK. Dec. 9.-The United
States will have to develop resources
in nations abroad and enter into
international trusteeship after the
war to prevent global economic COL
lapse. Hector Lazo. assistant direc-
tor of the Board of Ecoonmic We'll
fare. declared yesterday.
Speaking before $50 export mana
gers and industrial executives at a
luncheon of the Export Managers
Club of New York. he added If such
steps were not taken I'VE will then
have a new deal in this country
which will make Franklin D. Roose-
welt look like Calvin Coolidge
You are the ones to worry about
whether. peoples of other countries
are going to be able to buy from
you" Mr.. LaZo continued.
TT is true that in time of shoot
ing wars total war is 10 per cent
shooting and 80 per cent economic.
After the shooting ends. it will be
95 per cent economic and per cent
policing. We cannot shrink from
our responsibility unless we want
to lose that peace. We cannot re-
coil into our hard shells and let
the rest of the world starve."
He pointed out that America must
supply the world with food and
other materials after the war.
You cannot ration scarcities and
have all the recipients satisfied -
he added.
IAN international pattern of needs
must be established as well as an
international pattern of supplies.
Fearlessly, courageously and fairly
these supplies must be redistributed
to meet those needs. You cannot do
that through politics. 1t must be
done through unselfish information
ar trusteeships.
Mr.. Lazo told the export managers
they need not worry" about the

week, in exchange for the raise.
| Others Included.
/ Yesterday the District Committee
voted to include policemen, firemen
and school teachers in the straight
pay-raise bill. Other municipal en-
ployes were already in it. Todays
decision of the Civil Service Com
mittee to 60 back to the general
overtime bill takes care of the local
school teachers. who were IN the
overtime bill to start with. AS to
policemen and flremen, it probably
means they will seek passage of
their separate $500 pay-increase bill
already pending in the Senate.
The outlook for passage of an over
time or pay increase bill in the re-
naming weeks of this Congress was
none too bright, in view of the legis-
lative jam on other controversial
legislation, including the silver bill,
the new farm parity definition and a
new RFC autnorlZatlon.
The straight pay increase measure
appeared to have a good chance un-
til dispute arose among committee
members yesterday over whether the
48hour week should be written into
the measure. AS approved, the bill
merely suspended the Saturday half
holiday, but some Senators con-
tended this would only result in
AZ or 44-hour week in some agen-
cies
Failing this morning to settle this
difference. Senator Mead Democrat,
OF New York. announced the COM
mittee decided to advise the steering
committee that it would insist on the
| original overtime bill.
The overtime bill provided for a
basic A hour week in the Govern
ment service. with time -and-a half
for all work above 40 hours. This
meant at least four hours of prem
ium pay Some departments are
already operating 48 hours on war
work, and those employees would get
8 hours of premium pay
! The steering committee side
tracked this bill ten days ago be-
cause of fear it would provoke a
/ general debate over the issue of
lengthening the 40 hour week in
private industry for the duration
of the war.
| There is still no assurance that
controversial issue will not be raised
! if the general overtime measure is
called up.
! The only change the committee
decided to recommend today in the
overtime bill was to have it expire
June 30. l943. instead of June 30
1945.
Hope was entertained by friends
of the bill that Congress may be
willing to pass the measure. with its
life limited to this fiscal year, in
order to bring about uniformity in
the treatment of all Government
employees in the matter of wages and
hours.
If no action is taken the situation
will be that some Government work.
ers, regulated by wage boards, will
be eligible for overtime pay under
| long standing laws; other employees
in the War and Navy Departments,
will be working 48 hours without
overtime they were receiving under
temporary laws that expired Decem-
Der l. Still other clerical employees
in executive departments, who have
/ never been eligible for overtime. will
continue to 60 without it, even if
extra work is required of them.

Machine Tool OUTPUT
Gain Of 1,300Pct. Seen
Over Average Year
Metal Industries Outlook
Bright. Says Iron Age;
Ore, Serop Stocks Up
BY the Associated Press

| BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Dec 9.-The Iron
Age said today that with the start
of the second year of all-out war
production "the metals and metal
working industries are moving with
more assurance than at any time
| since the war transformation be-
gan"
Referring to statistics released
this week showing unprecedented
United States production in 1912.
the publication said much of the
confusion which existed few
months ago has been dispelled" and
the war machine seems better
integrated and better directed"
Said the magazine:
Machine tool output in 1912 will
be 1900 per cent above the 1929
1888 yearly average Steel ingot
production of around 86,000,0OO net
tons in 1912. including a sharp rise
in electric furnace output, is an
other impressive feature of the Ma
tions tremendous production rec
ord.
Scrap Supply Grows.
New capacity is being added
steadily. The industry will start
the new year comfortably supplied
| with iron ore and with the prospect
of scrap stockpiles we'll above the
4,400.000 tons on hand last January
l. Shipments of steel in 1912 are
believed to include all-time record
exports.
Much benefit has accrued to the
steel industry recently as a result of
controls on consuming industries and
the perfection of allotment and di-
rect ALLEGATION orders. A few. months
ago, all was confusion in the indus
try, with no one knowing for sure
where it was heading.
However, contrary to some re-
ports, mill backlogs have not been
reduced as much as generally sup
posed. Backlogs on the first of De-
cember were about Is to 20 per cen.
less than at the start of Octo-
ber. 49,
Steel backlogs will be whitfield
down slowly between now and July
l, 1943, when the new Controlled
Materials Plan becomes effective. but
so far the sO-called suspension of Or
ders for various ordnance and other
projects has not affected to any
great extent present steel backlogs.
Rapid recoveries have been made
from the temporary unbalances in
raw steel inventories.
Alloy Situati Tight.
Tin plate production will be
stepped up substantially in 1943 over
preliminary estimates made few
months ago. BY the first of the
year many of the economical cleo
trolytic lines will be in operation.
The alloy steel Situa ton continues
to remain tight and supplies of GER
tain alloy steels are far from meeting
demand. The hot top bottleneck still
exists. An increase in alloy steel
production brings the possibility of
an overall reduction in total steel
lneot output. Alloy steel pro-
duction this year will be about 13
per cent of the total steel pro-
duced. -
Reports from the Midwest indi-
cate that several additional phases
OF the war program have been
trimmed back recently, but so far the
reductions have not been reflected
in large scale cancellations of steel
orders ."
