the need arise of rushing in emerg-
ency supplies.
Failure of the British to reveal
the amounts on hand was said by
some American observers to handl-
cap UNRRA's planning to meet the
needs of Europe after the war.
POINTS OF DIFFERENCE
The situation prevailing on the
eve of the conferences getting down
to work indicated that there will
be many points of difference as
the committees deal with important
problems involving relief for the
masses of Europe.
Some countries have indicated in
directly that they were here to find
ways of using the relief needs of
the United Nations to stimulate
business after the war. Some United
States industries have taken
purely business attitude toward
manufacturing of required supplies,
which would necessarily be inferior
in quality to normal domestic de-
mands.
Before the conference, it was said
that the meeting night prove
test of the ability of the United
Nations to carr out international
cooperation to maintain the peace
But some members already have
read symptoms of politics into the
procedure. One delegate said that
it reminded him of the conference
of Versailles, noted for its sharp
bargaining practices and its failure
to establish machinery to maintain
world peace.

ARMY TO RELEASE
TROOP TRAIN FILM
Story of Transfer Of Arm.
Ored Forces to Various
Sectors PiCturized

"Troop Train" the story Of how
the Army Transportation Corps car
ries out an operation when the
Chief Of the Ground Force decides
to transfer one armored division
by rail from x to Y somewhere In
the United States, Is told In the
Office Of War Information film
short which will be nationally re-
leased on February 18th. At pres
ent many such divisions are being
moved to new camps, to troop ships
bound for the battlefrontS Of the
world.
This Is q war Of movement. Our
new army must not only be mobile
on the highways but also on the
rails. Troop Train" pictures the
problems the Army has In moving
heavy equipment; how the troops
must be taken care Of while in
transit. Flat cars, pullman and
baggage cars are assembled. Tracks
are cleared from the nerve center
Of our entire transportation sys-
tenn In Washington. Formerly there
were trained specialists to load and
unload these cars but today am
bulance, jeep, motorcycle and truck
drivers are taught to load and UNI
load, blck-up and tie-down their
own equipment onto the flat cars.
In World War the men travelled
by day coach, baggage and even box
car, but In this war they travel In
tourists pullmans." While enroute
soldiers sleep two to lower and
one to an upper. Trains are often
stopped during the day to let the
soldiers out for organized exercise
and, II It's warm enough, for a
shower under a railroad water tank.
Since their destination is kept
secret until an hour before arrival,
the troops spend a great deal Of
their travelling time drawing maps
and trying to figure out where they
are. The film will be distributed
by the war Activities Committee Of
the Motion Picture Industry.

Disclosing that approximately Q

necticut during the last six months
Of 1042 by manufacturing estab-
lishinents In Connecticut came from
the Hartford Industrial Salvage dis
trict, Frank T. johnson, industrial
Salvage manager for the district
urged members Of industrial sal-
wage committees not to relax their
efforts, in letters sent to the com.
unitteeS recently.

WOODEN company, Stafford Springs,

Thanking the committee members
for the tremendous amount Of work
they have accomplished in the past
year, Mr.. johnson urged them to
impress on oil the necessity OF get
ting In the scrap. He pointed out
that while last years effort built q
stock pile Of 6,720,000 tons, this is
starting to dwindle' because scrap
cannot be moved in adequate guam
titles during the present kind Of
weather. "With much Of our pro-
duction going overseas, and with
the resultant scrap not being avail
able, we are going to need even
greater quantities In 1943," he said.
The six months total Of scrap coll
lected in the Hartford district was
1854 tons. including 54,637 tons Of
iron and steel and 13,202 tons Of
non ferrous metals. This does not
include railroad and telephone sell
