There's lot Of Government
money in war plants. The ofncial
estimate Is 20 billions. There
will be plenty of campaign oratory
about this great investment and lots
OF talk in Congress. But before
anything is done about those plants,
much educating Of Congress and
the Administration is needed. And
the chief lesson must be that most
Of the emergency plant will be Of
little use to the industry Of the
future, if that industry Is to be
free industry.
Sites Called political"
In the first place, large part Of
the plant has been built under con-
ditions that fly directly in the face
of free enterprise. They were To-
Gated for political reasons-that Is,
every state clamored for 4 share
whereas, under an efficient free
system Of locating industries, eco
nomic, not political, considerations
are paramount. Climate, for ex-
ample, was neglected. A great new
bomber plant is located where work.
ers cannot hope to get decent liv-
ing conditions for many years, and,
under normal competitive condi-
tions, housing expense would make
putting a great plant there un-
sound.
But more important than all else
is q factor which Government Is
utterly unlikely to understand. A
plant, under mass production princi-
Piles, is built around an idea. The
brick and steel and concrete is q
shell put over the engineering lay
out after every interior calculation
has been minutely considered. The
shed over the plant Is designed to
fit the production plan. 1t is the
glove on the hand, the usefulness
Of which is measured by the extent
to which it fits without reminding
the wearer Of its presence. The
relative cost of a plant building Is
unimportant. II it cramps the re-
adjustment Of manufacturing meth
ods within, it is usually cheaper to
scrap it, ..-
Plant Shed Temporary.
Winston Churchill said recently,
when speaking of plans for rebuild
ing the House Of Commons, that we
shape our. buildings, and then they
shape U.S." This does not apply to
modern manufacturing. There il
nothing sentimental about . plant
shed. 1t is temporary device for
keeping the rust from impairing
precious machinery. 1t is subject to
constant change.
For Government to use the owner
ship Of the expensive sheds built for
emergency purposes as q means Of
horning into some quasi-socialistic
partnership with industry would
be like claiming the hand of the
lady over whom you hold your UNI
brella while she gets from her door
to the bus.
1t is estimated that present users
have an option on about halt the
Government-built war plants. 1t Is
estimated also that considerably
under half Of these options will bs
taken up. That leaves about three
quarters of these plants as the prob
lem children. 1t might be just AZ
we'll to consign most of that remain
der to the scrap-pile For 4 plant

Lewis, former president of George

following the end of the secondary
school period might be devoted to
training for national service. mill
tary and civil. During that time
basic instruction in military science
could be given together with courses
in history. government and the re-
sponsibility of citizens Military
camps which will lie idle after the
war could be utilized for this pur-
pose. Here large groups of youth.
from all sections of society, would
live and work together and in the
process bigotry and misunderstand-
ing would be eliminated, and loyal

There are those who will oppose

basis that it encourages bellig-

Larger Operating
Margins Are Being

Owners of rental housing are re-

under rent control than in the pre-
war years, 1889 and 1910, surveys
just included by the Office Of Price
Administration show, OPA said
Monday. These conditions, favor
able to landlords, revealed in STU
dies covering 80 war production
centers, have developed despite
the fixing of rent ceilings which.

pre-rent control trends, prevented
more than $1,000 100000 from be-
ing added to the nations 1943 rent
bill.
Actual figures taken from the
books of landlords throughout the

months of rent control was "a per
cent greater than in 1889, while
the increases in net operating IN

INCREASED MILK
PRICES SOUGHT
Roanoke Rapids, North
Wilkesboro Appeal
To Governor

RALEIGH, Nov. o. P-Two
North Carolina towns have appeal
ed to Governor Broughton for aid
in raising fluid milk prices in an
effort to prevent acute milk short
ages. the governors office said
today.
The two towns, Roanoke Rapids
and North Wilkesboro. filed petit
tons asserting that unless a higher
retail price per quart for fluid
milk was allowed diaries which
serve the towns would be forced
to cease operation within the near
future.
A petition signed by more than
hundred Roanoke Rapids citizens
and a letter signed by the city's
rine medical doctors presented the
Roanoke Rapids request for in
creased prices.
The petition said that the city
now was being served by only two
diaries. which deliver only 200 gal
Ions of milk daily to the city of
approximately 10000. Prior to the
war the petition said, a total of
500 gallons daily was being con-
sumed by the towns residents.
The present retail price of milk
there is 16 cents a quart. The Pc
titioners asked that the price be
raised to 20 cents ''to take care
Of increased cost of production.
In North Wilkesboro the situa-
ton was described as serious, with
