ROOSEVELT:
Better World ahead

Bad news for the Axis, good news
for the United Nations and the as
surance of victory followed by post
war economic security were the
three most significant elements in
President Roosevelt's annual mes
sage to the 18th congress.
In delivering his bad news to the
Axis on all fronts, the President
bluntly announced: "Now our aim
is to force the Japanese to fight.
Last year we stopped them. This
year we intend to advance" In the
African area he promised that the
last vestige of Axis power would
be driven from the south shores OF
the Mediterranean. Concerning Eu-
rope, he said, eve are going to
strickland strike hard"
The good news for the United Ma
tons was contained in Mr.. Roose-
velt's enumeration of the miracle
of production" at home, as well as
the evidence of close corporations
between all Allied leaders. In his
summary of accomplishments dur
ing the last year, the President list
ed the production of $4,000 airplanes,
$4,000 tanks and sef-propeIled ar
tillery weapons, and 10,431 900, 600
rounds of ammunition and the trans
porting of l 800, 900 men of our 7,0O0,-
900 armed forces overseas. Signif-
icantly, he revealed that more sup
plies are now being flown by Ameri-
can planes to China than were ever
transported over the Burma road.
In his approaches to postwar plan
ming and domestic policy, the Presi-
dent succeeded in promoting good
will for the administration in a con-
gress now closely balanced in po-
litical faith. He suggested princi-
pies rather than specific recommen-
dations for legislation that might
stir up factional disputes.

NEW YORK: The American peo-

LOCAL TRANSPORT:
ODT Takes Over

In a far-reaching executive order
designed to speed up the movement
of war workers, President Roosevelt
placed Defense Transportation Di-
rector Joseph B. Eastman in charge
of local bus lines and street cars.
The effect was to give ODT COM
plete supervision over all local trans
portation equipment and to authorize
Mr.. Eastman to revise present serv-
ice and schedules wherever neces-
sary to step up the movement of pas
sengers to and from war plants.
The order defined local passenger
transportation equipment as includ-
ing buses, street railway cars, trolley
coaches, trucks converted for pas
senger transportation and "other We
hicles and vessels used or capable
of being used to carry nine or more
passengers including the operator in
public or private carrier service"
Mr.. Eastman was given veto power
over all contracts for the purchase
or lease of local transportation
equipment, except those held by COM
mon carriers, which include street
car and bus lines.

CONSUMER GOODS:
Fe,Uer Purchases ahead

Purchases of consumer goods and
services by American civilians will
register declines of 10 to Is per
cent in 1913, while production of
goods will show a Is to 20 per cent
dip, according to a prediction by the
Office of Civilian Supply of the War
Production board.
The OCS estimated that the lag in
production would be offset by the alb
sorption of Is per cent of the inven-
tories on hand at the beginning of
the year.
Largest drop in buying is expect
ed in durable goods, continuing
trend started in 1912 when purchases
by civilians declined As per cent be-
low 1941. This years decline is es-
timated at IS per cent below 1912.

has made it possible for farm wood

POSTWAR CARS:
To Cost $500

Radically new lightweight passen.
ger cars that may sell for as little
as $500 were envisioned by F. G.
Crawford, president of the National
Association of Manufacturers, as a
postwar development resulting from
amazing strides in metallurgy.
Mr.. Crawford said that motorists
in the coming peace era will have
better gasoline than the 100-octane
fuel now used for combat aircraft.
The superior gasoline, plus greater
use of light metals developed during
the war, will give the American peo-
pie far greater mileage on their cars
and the cheapest all-around automo-
bile transportation in history.
The NAM president said automo-
bile companies expect to start pro-
duction on some cars Immediately
after the war, but that the new post
war models probably will not appear
for Is to 18 months afterward.

the British said was one of the

wrecked and many others badly
damaged, but most of the residents
had reached shelters before the

VINO Defers Action
In Job-Freeze Protest
Pending Labor Farley
McNutt PIuns Meeting
With JAW Officials to
Consider Complaints

War Manpower Commission action
on labor's protests against the new
job-wage freeze order will await the
results Of conference later this
week of VINO Chairman McNutt
and the United Automobile Workers
Executive Board, it was indicated
today.
The conference, a VINO spokes-
man said, was sought by the strong
CIO union after it had instructed
all it's members en- VINO regional
and area management-labor COM
mittees to hand in their designations.
The meeting comes at time when
at least one management-labo COM
mittee already is functioning without
its labor representatives.
In Detroit, Montague A. Clarke,
VINO area director, said today he
had no alternative except to admin
lister that areas employment stabil-
ization plan as mandatory pro-
gram instead of voluntary one.

CIO Members Victor G. Reuther
and August Scholle resigned from
the Detroit Management-Labor
Committee On instructions from the
UAW International Executive Board.
Subsequently, AFL members with
drew" to await developments, leav-
ing only industry members of the
committee
Mr.. Reuther, in his latter of resig-
nation, said the new VINO regula-
ton restricting transfer of workers
in essential activities was "unneceS-
s2ry and unenforceable."
The real stumbling blocks to an
effective manpower program, Mr..
Reuther said, are labor boarding
by industry, failure to utilize COM
pletely all qualified local labor with
out discrimination and lack of an
adequate wage stabilization pro-
gram to facilitate movement of
workers to new jobs when necessary
In addition to the new regula-
ton, the UAW executive board OBJ
jected to the reorganized national
VINO Management-La -Agricul-
ture Policy Committee, which, the
board charged, denies labor its
status as "an equal partner with
indusr ry."
Wants Full Labor Views.
A VINO spokesman said he did not
know how far the resignation move
ment had penetrated Labor Man
agement Committees outside Detroit.
Nothing definite will be done, he
said, until I'VE find out the nature
of their problems
He contended that labor appeared
to be objecting to the whole of the

rather than solely to the VINO reg
ulation, and added that I'VE just

According to the spokesman,

saw and approved the VINO order
before it was issued. One change
vas made in the order, presumably
at their request. That was the in
clusion of provision specifying that
