PULLING IN OF BELTS

On this basis, Weiner's theo-
retical blueprint, under mimi
mum conditions, would cut bev-
erageS to $40 per cent of the
1941 consumption, drugs to 69.7
per cent: furniture 10 27.8 per
cent; personal appearance and
comfort services to $50 per cent.
Weiner's study was intended
10 answer the question. if nee
eSSary, how much further pull
ing in of belts can civilians take.
Such statistical measurements
are at best proximate and some-
what deceptive, but from the
standpoint Of long-term debate
with the social critics Of Amer
lean business. the survey spells
out in minute detail the extent
10 which average American liv-
ing standards normally exceed
the subsistence level. 1t stresses
in significant detail the relative
abundance prevailing in this
country in time Of peace.

Colombia Tops
Brazil as j. ).
Coffee Supp|ier
BY WILLIAM NJ. LANDER
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 6-For
the first time in history. Colombia
has wrested first place away from
Brazil as the chief supplier Of
coffee TO the United States.
Latest statistics of the Inter-
American Coffee Board show that
less coffee is coming to this coun-
try from Brazil than ever before.
From Oct. /, 1942-Date of the
present coffee year"-until Feb.
20, 1913, Brazil delivered only
/ 1851 bags to the United
States. Each bag weighs l32
pounds.
In the same period Colombia
delivered 1,512.737 bags.
BAG FROM PERU
The ID other coffee producing
| Latin-American nations delivered
from one bag Tin the case OF
Peru to 255,451, in the case OF
Haiti.
simultaneously, the census bu-
reau revealed that coffee stocks in
the United States available for
civilians has hit an all time low
According to figures just released
they stood at 1,103,752 bags or
Jan. 81, compared with 1852, nc
bags in March. 1912.
Traders believe that the decline
has halted and that slight upturn
will soon begin.
BRAZIL'S QUOTA
Brazils shipments are a mere
fraction of what normally would
be sent to the United States. Bra
zirs basic quota for this year is
100000 bags, and there seems tc
be no possibility that il will be
more than half filled. In the "cof-
fee year" ending on Sept. 80, 1912
Brazil shipped slightly over 1850.
900 bags of its basic quota oil
100000 bags.
Negotiations are now proceeding
between the United States and
Brazil for the purchase OF the un-
shipped portion of last years
quota. and eventually the un'
shipped portion-of this years
quota. Some S20,000,000 10 $50
I0O0. 900 are involved in the first
deal. while the second might run
up to S60.000,000.
Presumably the plan is for the
United States to take title TO the
coffee, keep it in storage in Bra.

ABOVE MINIMUM NEED

In TINS connection, the re-
Gently published survey for
James +. Byrnes. director of
economic sterilization, by Jo-
seph l.. Weiner, director Of the
Office of Civilian Supply of the
WPB. on minimum civilian
standards constitutes an impor-
tant social document. 1t calls
attention in precise statistical
terms TO the fact that in peace
time average American living
standards are not only pre-em-
inently high in comparison with
those prevailing in other coun-
tries, but are also absolutely
high in terms of being far above
the minimum needed TO keep
metabolism going.
Thus, in the master ledger
concerning the efforts of the
American people TO earn their
living. an attempt should be
made to reconcile with Vein
er's figures the statistics re-
leased by the National Resources
Board which emphasized the
hole and overlooked the dough-
nut of American living stand
ards.
OF course. Weiner'S study was
intended for a special purpose.
namely, TO give the economic
authorities at Washington a
concept of what the uttermost
limits could be, in the event Of
necessity. in further diverting
goods and services away from
civilians. At the same time, the
figures presented tend to under
score the degree Of relative
abundance which normally pre-
walls in the United States.
In defining the conditions Of
a bedrock basis. Weiner assumed
that contraction in living stand
ards below those limits would
result in a net loss rather than
a net gain to the war effort"
GIVE FACTUAL DATA
Weiner'S document is testi-
monial TO the American system
for it gives factual data TO
prove that it provides civilians
in most categories with greater
abundance than is needed to
keep body and soul together.
For example, his somewhat
academic exploration contem-
plated the possibility of reduc-
ing average food consumption TO
us per cent of the 1941 level
and Of clothing. if ever ra-
toned, to Ga per cent.
Apparently in theoretically
applying the axe TO high living
standards, Weiner proposed hold
ing the higher income groups to
the per capita buying power
permitted in the $1,000 to the
$500 income group. Those
with less than $1,000 buying
power were to be left at their
former and lower rate Of pur-
chase. BY implication, Weiner,
contrary to sentimental social
critics. leaves the impression
that even the low income groups
have sufficient goods and Serv-
ices for survival under bed
rock" conditions.

Main Yard TinshOp

For quite a few issues now, the tinship (days) main yard has not been represented in the "Sub," :" and for some unknown reason it has been slightly missed. But there just doesn't seem to be anyone do- ing anything, and what with "Abi- gaiP' Latham not writing for the Victory Yard anymore it is im- possible for us to get our little digs" back and forth, and far be 1t from me to put anything in about him unless he could answer me back. Plus that fact, and the main reason, that with the new addition, I don't set so much of Alb now and can't seem to get anything on him. .. However, this is supposed to be the main yard column, and the "" yard is very ably taken care of by Frank Alaire, so maybe I can think of some dirt about my own fellow workers. ,. The best joke of the week was when
 Serge" Kiritsis and his helper took the wrong bus the other day and ended up at the Victory Yard when they were supposed to have gone to the Sub Base to do some

largely used in building conStruc- tion and for plate storage frames, to conserve steel for production of war materials.
 The first production assignment for the Victory Yard was on June IT, 1922, when crew of machin- ists went to work in remodeled Groton Iron Works building on the waterfront.
 The official opening of the yard on July 9, 1942, was marked by the laying of the keel of the U. s. s. DACE. The official opening ceremonies were broadcast over a national hook-up. President l.. Y. Spear officially opened the yard.
 Mrs. Robinson HOnOred
 At the keel laying ceremony, Mrs. O. Pomeroy Robinson, wife of General Manager Robinson, was honored by being chosen to make the first weld when a sec tion of the keel of the "DACE" was laid down. Permission to do this was granted by the Navy De- jartment, in honor of MT. Robin sons outstanding record in the field of submarine production.
 The first launching at the yard was on Easter Sunday of this year. The ''DACE," the first sub- marine on which women had worked on actual production, slid down the ways after being christ ened by Mrs. Robinson. The sub marine was released to the waters of the Thames River by Mrs. Aida Alligood and Mrs. Luba Eaves, both of Waterford, burners who cut through the steel hold ing plates.

Sensive activity of building the yard was in effect.
 One of three yards which form the Nelseco Plant - the others are the North and South Yards the Victory Yard is on the site of the Groton Iron Works, a ship yard which was operated late in the first World War and for some time thereafter in building freight CTS
 The Groton Iron Works was es- tabiished in 1917 and 1918, and construction of the freighters started in the latter year.
 Practically Deserted
 A few years after the close of the first World War, however, the Groton Iron Works was practical N deserted when the bottom dropped out of the shipbuilding industry.
 The property was acquired in 1927 by the Atlantic Coast Fisher les Company, which operated a plant in freezing fresh fish fillets for market. The plant was served by trawlerS of the Portland Trawling Company and continued operations for five years. The trawling company continued to have a base there for some time afterwards.
 Eleven years ago, the fisheries interests sold part of the property to the Shell Oil Company, Inc, and the corporation established a bulk station there. The Shell in- terests continued operations un- til arrangements were completed to acquire the property for the Nelseco Plant expansion.
 There was no upkeep of many of the buildings of the Groton Iron Works, following that ship yards shutdown. Early in 1941, Alfred Hotter Of New York, ref ugee Norwegian industrialist, who was known in Norway as the "ce- ment king" purchased the prop erty, except that owned by the Shell Company, from the Allan tic Coast Fisheries Corporation, a holding company for the Atlantic Coast Fisheries Company. Hotter announced intention of construct ing freighters for the British and Allied governments.
 Navy Steps In
 But the Navy Department, how ever, realized the need for further expansion of the NelSeco Plant to accelerate a program of Subma- zine production, and early in 1942, Che Navy acquired the Groton iron Works property through con- demnation proceedings.
 Immediately plans were made for the development of the prop erty as an addition to the Nelse- co Plant. Ford, Bacon Davis of New York worked with Electric Boat Company engineers in de- signing the yard, and construc- ton supervision rested with the New York firm, the Navy, and the Electric Boat Company.
 Construction of the yard was started early in 1922. It was a tremendous undertaking, with much of the new yard being blast d ont of solid rock. Wood was

CHICAGO, Feb. 25 - (P) -
DR.. F. D. Ostrander of Ann Ar
Dor, Mich. asserted today the
Sulfonamide drugs which have
produced such spectacular, re-
suits in the medical field have
not proved "the panacea for all
dental infections.
He emphasized, however, in
an address prepared for delivery
to the 10th annual meeting of
the Chicago Dental Society, that
alth Iugh they are no panacea,
the sulfonamide drugs have
Legitimate and valuable uses"
DR.. Ostrander declared their
greatest value is in extensive
infections of dental origin, in
cases where heart trouble makes
premedication necessary, and in
cases of contaminated war
wounds, civilian accidents or in
fected extraction sockets.
He said more than 1000 sui
fonamide drugs already have
been synthesized by the chem
ist, and "for the first time there
is reasonable hope that future
years will see the development
of a specific drug for every hu-
man infection"

State to Stop
Paying Interest

LANSING, Feb Is - (P) -
State Treasurer D. Hale Brake
today ordered the State to cease
paying itself interest on its own
bonds.
Brake said he was surprised
to discover that for years and
years" the State has purchased
back blocks of its own bonds
with sinking fund money, land
instead of canceling them out
right, has paid the cost of having
an employe clip the coupons,
and paid also for burglary and
robbery insurance to protect
them in the vaults" He said
clipping the coupons and cred
iting the sinking fund with in
terest on its own bonds was an
unnecessary bookkeeping tran
saction.
Il haven't figured up the cost
yet, but ! found we have bought
back S4,181, 900 of our State
highway bonds, and the sinking
fund has been paying itself in
terest on the bonds"
He said he has ordered the Sc
curities cancelled and filed with
the Auditor General.
