Allied Agency Needed
To Control Raw Goods
After War, BAIT Says

A need after the war Tor an Amer
ican-British agency to uncover facts
concerning disposition and world
supply of raw materials was fore
seen yesterday by William L. Bait,
War Production Board vice chair
man and American representative
on the wartime Combined Raw Ma
terials Board.
Mr.. Bait was asked if the work of
the board in o-ordinating efforts
in obtaining supplies of critical war
materials would be continued after
the war. He replied that he hoped
a place would be made in the post
war picture for at least fact-find-
ing agency which would study sup
plies. Later, he declared that Rus
sia and other United Nations should
participate in the work.
Mr.. Bats remarks were made at
farewell press conference for Sir
Give Baillieu, British representative
on the Combined Raw Materials
Board and member of the British
Supply Mission, who is returning to
England, where he will head the
Federation of British Industries.
While the work of the board has
changed since the Pearl Harbor at
tack Mr.. Bait declared it still was
needed to assure availability of war
supplies. He pointed out that
aluminium and magnesium, which
were critical" year ago, are now
available in quantity for war pur-
poses. On the other hand, steel and
hides, formerly fairly plentiful, now
"are extremely short" About 80
per cent of the hide supply is used
to make boots and shoes.
Mr.. Bait said he would accom-
pany Sir Give to England TO round
out some problems" now before the
board.

Annual u. ). Income
SET al 143 Billion

The Commerce Department, re-
porting that national income
reached "the unprecedented annual
rate" of $143 900 600, 900 in the first
six months of this year, estimated
last night that Americans will have
nearly $37 ,000, 900, 900 of 1943 income
left over at the end of the year, even
after they've paid their taxes.
Writing in the departments
monthly Survey of Current Busi-
ness, George Jaszi of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce
said such net savings include wind
falls and exceeded the
amount of voluntary saving which
constitutes an offset against infla-
ton"
Mr.. Jaszi said the national income
rates in the first half of 1943 was
n per cent above the level of the
same period last year. Income pay
ments to individuals alone, he
added, were at an annual rate of
sl40 500, 100000. Consumer expendi-
lures are expected to amount to
S89 200, 100000 and taxes $14, 700 ,00O,-
600, leaving $4,000, 100000 in net
savings.

British Mission Here
To Map War Plans .
Against Japanese

A British military mission, con-
tanning officers of the land, sea and
air services, has arrived here for
consultations regarded as laying the
groundwork for future United
States British operations against
Japan.
In announcing arrival of the mis-
sion, headed by Maj. Gen. j. S.
Lethbridge, the British Informa ton
Service said the British government
docs not consider it premature to
formulate plans for its future oper-
ations against Japan in concert with
the United States and other mem
bers of the British Commonwealth
when their full combined forces can
be brought to bear against the COM
mon enemy in the Pacific"
To check up on the latest Amer
lean experiments in the Pacific war,
the mission will visit military and
naval establishments in this coun-
try, then move on to the Pacific TO
observe the fighting against the
Japanese.
Other members of the mission are
Brig. H. Bartlett, Royal Signals;
Rear Admiral F. H. w. Goolden and
Surg. Capt. H. w. Fitzroy Williams,
navy, and Air Commodore L. l..
MacLean and Group Capt. w. R.
Clements, RCAF.

When Washingtons streets were
laid out, pioneer planners did not
envision the necessity for lanes wide
enough to permit hauling of giant
bombers with a Widespread of 110
feet.
Hence the inclusion of Lib
orator bomber in the Army's mill
tary exhibit on the Washington
Monument grounds, beginning Sep
tember 9. can be accomplished only
by partial dismantling.
Ofacials arranging the war weap-
ons display, coincident with the
opening of the Third War Loan
Campaign, say they are trying to
obtain a Liberator and In the next
breath point out these practical diff
flculties:
The plane could not be flown to
the exhibit grounds for lack Of land
ing space there.
Avenue log Feet Wide.
1t could not be hauled through
city streets intact because of the
great wingspread. The citys widest
street, Pennsylvania avenue, has a
roadway of only 106 feet and Con-
stitution avenue only 80 feet, ac-
cording to Capt. H. c. Whitehurst,
director of District highways.
The only way a Liberator can be
brought to the exhibit site is to have
its wingspread sharply reduced.
Then it could be hauled on trucks
or towed to the exhibit site from
Boiling Field or National Airport.
Despite the trouble of dismantling
and reassembling, Lberator will be
brought here if one can be spared
an Army spokesman said. He added
that aviation mechanics feel a spe-
cial attachment for the ''big fell
lows" whose performance in combat
has enhanced American aviation
prestige.

hibits will be machines with me-

I'VE will not lay down our arms
until we have completely conquered
Japan The war won't be over until
Japan has reaped the price of her
treachery.
Every ounce of strength we've
got we intend to use against Japan" ="
He gave a hint, too, that the
strength probably would be brought
to bear, at the times and places
dictated by high Allied strategy
now in the making, by death dealing
sea and sky fleets.
"As you know" he said, I'VE have
some good sailors and accomplished
bombers."
No Hint of Plans Given.
Nevertheless, whatever may be the
battle plans for the Pacific, events
in Europe, where Russia continues
to grind down German opposition
in the east, dictate that the Allied
high command center its urgent
attention on taking the utmost ad-
vantage of that situation to drain
of Nazi strength through am
phibious assaults in the west.

Scrimgeour Denies Guilt;
Freed Under $4,000 Bond

William Scrimgeour, Washington
engineer and contractor, who was
indicted last Monday on charges of
making false statements to the Gov
ernment in connection with some
OF more than $1,000 900 in Navy
contracts he negotiated, today
pleaded not guilty when arraigned
before Justice Matthew F. MCGUIRE
of District Court. He was released
under $1,000 bond pending trial.
Also released under $4,000 bond
each were Mr.. Scrimgeour's sons,
Maxwell and c. Bailey Scrimgeour.
associated with him in business, who
pleaded innocent to charges of aid
ing and abetting their father in
making false statements.
The Justice Department estimated
that profits averaging Is per cent
were realized from 10 Navy con-
tracts involved in the indictment.
