IN WASHINGTON .

ton is beginning 10 function.
After spending a good bit of
time in surveys of its own, this
correlating agency is directing a
tangible program toward one of
the chief headaches of the war
production set-up.
That headache is foundry pro-
duction. The utilization division,
DR.. Sparks said, has already re-
viewed 90 foundries, and is put
ting into effect preferred list
of these plants. The preference
is based upone the "criticalness'
of their end products.
SELECT 60
Both WPB and VINO are CEN
tering attention upon the go
foundries TO see that their sup
ply of materials and men is ade-
quate. II any wage disputes, ac-
tual or potential are discovered,
the two agencies pass along their
joint recommendation in the
matter TO the War Labor Board.
SClective Service, meanwhile,
directs its efforts toward assur-
ing deferments 10 the extent
that the plants efficient opera
ton will not be impaired
DR.. Sparks feels that this con-
certed action will get results,
and that it probably will be the
pattern for future action in op-
I a n ng maximum efficiency
from available manpower
Good utilization is nothing but
z o o d management, in DR..
Sparks opinion. And included in
good management is good super
vision throughout the whole OPP
Grafton. But, he adds, good SUI
pervision is increasingly hard TO
get as the armed forces take
more men from industry. Fac
tories are beginning 10 run out
of good candidates for jobs, and
Of good teachers TO train them.
The old bugabooS of turnover
and abSenteeism are still the
chief obstacles to efficient use Of
manpoWer, the utilization direc-
tor says. Scheduling of material
IS much better, however, and
labormanagement relations are
showing an encouraging inn
provement as the need of inter
plant cooperation becomes more
widely recognized.
PASS THE INFORMATION
The ManpoWer Utilization set
up can't and doesn't want TO
supplant private enterprise, DR.,
Sparks explains. But il can pass
along TO private enterprise in
formation that would otherwise
be unobtainable. And its field
men have accumulated a lot of
practical knowledge. in going
from one plant to another, that
occasionally offers a factory a
quick solution TO an emergency
problem.

Revival Of the Orchestra

/ VERY music lover in Michigan will hail the announce
l. ment that the Detroit Symphony Orchestra has been
revived and will undertake full season again.
To those unacquanted with the technical complex
ties of maintaining major league symphony orchestra
the Importance Of this announcement may not be recog-
nzed
For their information it takes about generation
TO build good symphony orchestra. The Detroit band
for instance was started nearly 80 years ago The mus
clans who compose such organizations are true artists
but their art never makes them rich and they must live
Thus when an orchestra dsbands the Detroit orchestra
virtually did last year they have scurry around for
berths in other orchesras in other cities
Fortunately. for the cultural weIbeing of Detroit
the Detroit band was kept fairly well intact through the
interest of public minded music loving persons who en-
poyed It for radio concerts These persons and the per-
sons who are underwriting IT financially for the
regular concert deserve the profound thanks of
the community.
And the new director Kari Kruger former director
Of the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra need have no
qualms about the sympathy and understanding of his
audiences ID this industrial city They will accord him
the same warm support they did his several distinguished
predecessors. w

I Asst winter a newspaper pub
~ liShed a story in which
some marines. whose names

fusal of the civilian crew of a
merchant vessel TO handle cargo
at a hot spot in the Pacific.
l have no conviction whether
the story was true or incorrect,
but l am convinced that il was
not a cold-blooded fake because
similar incidents have occurred
at sea on union vessels, eSpe-
cially on ships manned by, the
Communist Union.

promptly raised the devil and
talked big about the fair name
OF their organization, and Frank
Knox, not wanting 10 admit
that such rotten conditions

officers have reported at length
and in detail on them. has
thrown screen OF secrecy over
the information.
Officers and blue jackets of
the navy who serve the guns
on merchant ships don't dare
speak for publication and the

nation, have been impOunded
for the duration, on the ground
that they might reveal 10 the

Beverage Followers
In Washington Played

ualty Co of Chicago, says in a
letter TO March of Events that
the thing that struck me about
the Beveridge plan was that in
no place was there mentioned
the issue of freedom of oppor-
tunity. In fact the whole thing
read TO me like the report OF a
board of trustees OF a poor
house"
Enclosed there is pamphlet,
written by Mr.. Behrens. entitled
THE Beverage Plan: IT is APP
plicable 10 the American way of
life ?" The answer is no. His
contention is. in effect. that an
American Beverage plan would
ultimately result in the decline
of the American workingman 10
the wage and living level of the
British worker.
/ THINK Mr.. Behrens is right.
Il The very fact that any coun-
try adopts an about dole from
cradle 10 grave" Is proof posi-
tive that that country is on the
decline from every standpoint
and is heading toward COM
munism.
That the Beverage plan
reads like the report of
board of trustees of poor
house is precisely the effect it
had on me. Are we ready for
such a degradation in this
country? Is security" 10 take

acter Of self-reliance. indepen-
dence and self-help? If so,

GENERAL readers of March
- of Events" have taken me
to task for jabbing Stain with
the question:
what are your postwar In
tentions In Europe ?"
Well. there's something not
from my hare-brained pen but
from a recent column-and-a-
half editorial in the staid and
cautious New York Times which
l recommend for digestion!
1.-THE fears and suspicious
about Russia are based prima-
rily on two considerations. The
first Is that Russia will use
Communist groups In other
countries as instruments of
theological conquest. And the
second fear Is that the power
which has the greatest share In
victory will also dictate the
peace. and that Russia, having
the power, will also use II for
conquest, or at least for gain
ing strategic frontiers
IN THIS connection we cannot
Il fail 10 note the Washington
dispatches reporting that the
Soviet embassy is circulating an
English translation of an edi-
torial from Pravda asserting an
emphatic claim 10 Bessarabia,
Estonia. Latvia and Lithuania
on the ground that they are
legally a part Of Russia This
is a claim that our government
has not recognized

There were no repair parts on,

They said the officers ought

" ported 10 the captain that
one of the hell raisers. standing
two hour tricks at the wheel,
had steered five degrees Off
course for 20 minutes on one
trick and for Is minutes on an
other. The sailor said he must
have dozed off, although he had
not been working any extra
hours.
The next day one of the trio
tried to give orders 10 one of
the officers. claiming that he
was speaking as a delegate for.
the rest of the men. An investi-l
cation was made and the men
denied that they had authorized
hun TO do this in their name.
a week later three sailors de-
manded that the master show
them a list of the stores he was
buying in the next port. He told
them he was giving orders, not
taking them. and sent them
away, but that night one of the
delegates ordere the chief
steward 10 let him see the list.

crew that he would lay charges

The crew then petitioned the

actors return. saying they
would not guarantee that these
