nurse, who was held prisoner for
five months before her release to
the exchange ship GripSholm.
''YOu must realize that Guam
was unfOrtifed. The only mill
tary forces we had were strictly
of an executive nature. The few
marines there policed the island,
and the naval officers aided the
natives In their government.
Nevertheless, the Japs bombed
us for two days before landing.
1t was unnecessary, however.
All they had to do was walk in
and take over, which they did"

said today that part of this sum
may be used TO raise salaries.
Until now it appeared as though

Motorman Esch had caught an

The scene, with variations, has

ESch is really the barking dog.
That is 10 say the barking dog is

From the point of service, ESch

He likes his job more every year.
He likes the 11:23 p. m. to 8:48

16-year-old missing bride, turned
up with her parents in Los Angeles

the following message:
please tell Tom TO forget

young love-
Thus she dismissed her stormy
romance and runaway marriage
which developed into a cross
country game of hide-snd-Seek and
sent the young bridegroom prowl-
ing Detroit for his bride.
But Golden, who lives at 1887
Sheridan avenue, refused TO accept
such an explanation.
DOESN'T BELIEVE 1T

simply. IL don't believe she Is
speaking her own mind when
she says things like that"
Scheduled for army induction
next Thursday, Golden said he
knew that he could persuade his
bride 10 return TO him il he could
talk TO her personally.
His draft board was not In

Chairman Donald N. Nelson OF the
War Production Board said yester-
day that any change In the present
wartime, or daylight saving. statute
would result In serious detriment to
war production and that enact
ment Of State lesislation to change
wartime would have the same
detrimental effect"
Mr.. Nelson outlined hts position
In letters to Senator Fer9uson, Re-
publican, Of Michigan ana the
Speaker of the Ohio House c9 Rep
fssentatives.
Michigan has new Legislative oct
which places the entire state On
Central war time and permits cities
10 remain on Eastern war time. Ohio
likewise has a bill pending to move
clocks back one hour, and last week
Georgia moved from Eastern war
time to Central war time.
Il fully realize that war time has
caused great inccnvenience % farm
ers and to souse States hAs worked
great hardships." Mr.. Nelson said.
Nevertheless, feel that to abandon
wartime would result In confusion
and would bring about an increase
In power requirements"
He said the wartime statute,
which moved up CLOCKS throughout
the country one hour. resulted in .
years saving in electrical generating
capacity Of more than LOOT, 600 kilo-

Move 10 Relax Ban
On Pleasure Driving
Opposed by lckes
Interior Secretary Hints
He Fovors Extension Of
Curb to Rest Of US.

Secretary of the Interior Ickes, at
a press conference today. said he
would be opposed to .relaxing the
present ban on pleasure driving In
the District and Eastern Seaboard
States In the spring, and indicated
he even would favor an extension
Of the ban throughout the Nation,
with certain notifications
The Secretary, In his capacity as
petroleum administrator for war,
said he would want Ito see further
into the future" before advocating
any return to unrestricted driving.
Mr.. Ickes said the supply Of oil
coming into the East remained sub
stantially the same as 1t had been
throughout the winter, but he pres
dicted that opening of the new pipe
lines to Norris City, ILL.,, on Febru-
ary is would increase the how sub
stantially."
Driving Curbed In England.
Present with Mr.. Ickes at the
press conference was Jef1ery Lloyd,
British Minister of Petroleum, who
emphasized the Importance of main
tanning oil supplies to the armed
forces.
Mr.. Lloyd pointed out that all
essential driving was eliminated
in England last year and that the
proportion OF petroleum products
now used in civilian life in Great
Britain Is negligible. He stressed
the importance Of 1O0-octane avia-
ton gasoline. now the center of a
controversy between Rubber Ad-
ministrator Jeffers and military au-
thorities, and said the battle Of
Britain could not have been won had
the supply of l00-octane gasoline
not been sufncient.
Mr.. Ickes said he was greatly
concerned about the supply of high
octane aviation fuel In this coun-
try. He said he was nat satisfied
with the outcome Of White House
conference among high Govern
ment of1icials In which high octane
gasoline was given comparatively
less important role than military
authorities would have liked.
Urges Rubber Economy.
He advocated even more drastic
reductions in the use of rubber as
q means Of meeting the rubber
shortage and said he would favor
the removal OF millions Of automo-
biles from the country's highway to
effect this economy.
There must be a considerable
amount Of rubber still used for un-
necessary driving" he said.

that about S. per cent OF the bitumi-

and grades should also be standard
lied. The new national emergency
alloys should be used much more
extensively. These have the strength
and by utilizing most modern tech
nique save critical alloying metals.
Centrifugal and pressure castings
should be substituted for many
types of forgings, with resultant
savings In steel, time, labor and IA
cilities. Modern melting practices
already developed to a high degree
should be adopted extensively, par
ticularly In electric-furnace opera
tions. Much more pen-hearth
alloy steel should be made.
Mills should be required to limit
their output to those items for which
they are best suited, each mill spe-
cializing in some items.
Many Of the above problems
arose because Of the reluctance of
the steel companies to disturb their
settled customer relationships. Some
result from the technical conserva-
tism which has developed In big
companies which have not had to
perform miracles Of production to
survive in competition. Many result
from q haphazard price structure.
It is natural for steel consumers to
purchase the cheapest articles that
Will meet their requirements. In
too many instances the lowest prices
prevail on the steels that are least
desirable to the overall steel pro-
gram. The national emergency
steels, for instance, have been de-
veloped to serve as adequate SUBJ
stitute for steels rich In alloying
elements. But the new steels are
now more expensive. As . result
steel consumers purchase and use,
and have been allowed to purchase
and use, the standard steels instead
of the satisfactory new alloy saving
steels."
Armed Force Estixnates.
In support Of Its claim that the
armed forces underestimated war
time steel needs, the committee said
that Is late as November, 1911, they
estimated their steel requirements
at . total hgure much smaller than
their present demands" The armed
forces are now using. q much steei
IN three months as they previously
informed the old Once Of Pro-.
duction Management they would
need in = year. the report added
In declaring that WPB delayed
conversion Of industry to q war
basis. the committee asserted that.
Untold tons OF steel were permitted
to be consumed In non-war pro-
duction until far into 1917. The
priorities system was designed to
assure at least that war industries
would be supplied before any
others. It failed to accomplish It's
purpose and did not stem the huge
now Of steel into essential
commodities"

BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

The armed forces, the big
steel companies and the War
Production Board all were given
a share of the blame for delayed
steel expansion and for the pres
ent shortage by the Senate Ma
tional Defense Investigating
Committee today.
In report to the Senate the
committee, headed by Senator Tru-
man, Democrat, Of Missouri. said
three major factors contributed to
the present steel situation, namely:
l. That the armed forces "seri-
ously underestimate" the amount
of steel they would need under war
conditions.
2. That there was q desire on the
part of the big steel companies to
prevent any expansion that might
react unfavorably against their
control of the steel industry after
the war"
3. That there was delay by the
War Production Board "in convert
ing industry to a war basis"
Production Cited.
Despite these critical aspects, the
report shows this country is produce
ing steel lin unprecedented amounts
-86, 900 900 tons In l942 and over
90, 900 900 tons expected in l943. Our
1912 production came within $780,
600 tons Of equaling the total steel
production of all the rest of the
world-United Nations and Axis.
The United Nations produced more
than twice as much steel as their
enemies"
The question which comes to
mind" the. report continued, 'is,
Why there should be famine amid
such plenty?' How does the Axis
get. along on so little?' We now
know that the Axis prepared for
this war. built its plants and stock
piled its ornaments long before
hostilities commenced. We, on the
other hand, are Fastening both to
make the ,armaments and to build
the plants at the same time. We
must tifi' baif present orders and
thosk o4 odf Allies, and still attempt
to build stock piles. That our needs
are great is clear. The basic prob
le41s are whether we are making
the Best iise OF what We have and
whether we should create additional
facilities to produce even more"
Offer Recommendation.
After predicting that this coun-
try viii barely produce suficient
steel in 1943 and thereafter to sat-
isty the major war necessities" the
committee put forward the follow
ing recommendations:
Specifications must be re-exam-
ined with . view to elimination Of
too exacting requirements. Sizes
