For some time the gigantic ma
chinery of American industry was
slowly gaining speed. There was
temporary confusion.
Soon, though, the might and power
of America hard at work began to
be felt as the armed forces of the
nation began to make glorious use
Of weapons rolling from unusual pro-
duction lines, steel mills, automobile
plants, and converted peace-time
manufa curing plants. Today there
is hardly person whose work is not
at least closely tied up with the ma
tional armament production plan.
Speaking in the nations Capt.
toll, Secretary of Commerce
Jesse Jones said: eve are al
ready OItpr0ducing our Axis
enemies and are only now ap-
preaching peak production In
certain essential military categ0-
ries. While 1943 will be q real
test of the ability Of American
productive genius to supply our
own armed forces and those of
our Allies, past performances
give us every ground for con-
fidence that the high goals fixed
by the President will be
achieved"
That program, which was shown
in part at the beginning, calls for a
total expenditure of at least $53, 000,-
100000 by June 30, this year.
Where 5000 planes a month was
the schedule for 1912, the 1943 output
will be more than twice that. (In
1910 only 500 a month were pro-
duced)
During 1912 the shipbuilding indus
try produced over 100000 tons of
shipping. The goal for 1943 is twice
that amount A total of 100000
tons would be equivalent to rs per
cent of the entire merchant marine
of the world when the war broke out.
Over year ago it took almost 100
days to construct a Liberty ship"
American inventiveness, ingenuity
and efficiency have whitfield that
time down to Sc days, and there is
no doubt even that time will be fur

Not so long ago Donald Nelson
spoke before the National Associa-
ton of Manufa cturers and said: Eat

grades, and dairy products. The lat
ter were being dehydrated in enor-
nous quantities for shipment abroad
both to the armed forces, and to
lend-lease nations.
This year over 26,OOO,O0O milk
cows will be utilized to supply
the increased demand for dairy
products. The great amount of
milk alone that needs to be
dairied during 1943 can be imag-
ined when during 1910, non-war
year, the U. S. per capita con-
sumption of all dairy products
amounted to over 81 gallons.
That figure includes such per
capita amounts as IL pounds of
butter, SO cheese, 2.3 ice cream.

might which this nation will achieve
during this present year.
Poet Walt Whitman wrote, II hear
America singing :" This year
Americans will continue to hear the
nations industry humming - hum

soon-everyone hopes---break out in
to a mighty song celebrating the
victorious defeat of the enemy.

Secretary of Commerce, speak
ing of what is ahead in '43, said:
"Our people have frightened their
belts and will further tighten
them notch by notch if and when

Even though over 10000, 900 farm

far late into the night during 1912,
they still were unable to keep up

Eyes Of Nation
Are Centered on
Detroit Election
National Dem Chiefs
View Race as Party Issue,
Downing Surprises Them
Michigan Politics
BY FRANK MORRIS

National Democratic leaders
regard the election in Detroit
Tuesday as a significant test OF
strength. despite the fact the vote
is on nonpartisan basis, II de-
veloped Saturday.
vitality interested in all de-
velopments that might be used
as a gauge TO the 1914 election,
the party chiefs in Washington
have decided that the fight be-
tween Mayor Jeffries and Frank
FITZGERALD is an important party
issue.
WALKERS INTEREST
Even Postmaster General Frank
Walker. Democratic tional
chairman, has been telephoning
local leaders and astonishing them
by his interest in the campaign.
Like all Detroiters, local Demo-
cratic bosses have become so ac-
customed TO the city's nonpartisan
system they accept the mayoral-
ity race as battle without po-
litical significance.
Walkers calls, therefore. have
been surprise. For there has
been no effort 10 rally Democrats
in support of FITZGERALD, who was
the partys nominee for United
States senator in 1910.
Outside Detroit. however. the
fact that FITZGERALD is promi-
nent Democrat has received wide
publicity.
The one development that has
caused comment in party circles
is the endorsement OF Mayor JEFF
fries by Prosecutor Bowling, who
is regarded as the foremost Demo
cratic politician because he led
the ticket in the last election.
ASKED NEUTRALITY
FitzGerald and County Chair
man William NJ. DonnelIy met
with the prosecutor before his
statement was issued and argued
In vain that he should remain
neutral.
Bowling. however. is peparing
TO become a candidate next year
against Circuit Judge Friedman.
who was appointed recently by
Gov. Kelly and must run for the
office a year hence.
Convinced that Jeffries will be
reelected mayor, the prosecutor
made his decision with both eyes
turned 10 the future.

Dropping Of Bus Service

John H. Connaughton, vice chair
man of the Public Utilities Com

Associations, announced that he
planned to file with the Public
Utilities Commission a petition for
reconsideration of the changes or
dered in the Chillum, Takoma and
PetWorth bus routes. including the
elimination of the il bus.
The petition charges that the
elimination of the line was not in
accord with the recommends ton of
a witness from the Office of De-
Tense Transportation, who is quoted
as stating that lit would be I'M
wise to eliminate the J-1 operation. "
The petition also argued that the
citizens had not been represented
by peoples counsel as required by
law. Pointing out that elimination
Of service would require additional
bus service on remaining routes, the
committee charged that the changes
would apparently not result in saw
ing Of rubber and gasoline.

u. 5. Saving 100000
Forms by New Process
Civil Service Commission
SimpIifies Procedure

Through the use of revised and
slmplifled form now made available
to Federal agencies, the Government
will save 100000 forms during the
coming year. the Civil Service Com
mission announced today.
Developed in cooperation with the
Council of Personnel Administration
the new form combines into one
document three forms which new
appointees previously have been re-
quired to fill out.
The use of the new form also will
result in substantial saving of time
and personnel in processing papers,
and placing new Federal workers on
the job, the commission said.
New appointees will not be re-
quired to duplicate information al
ready in the hands of the employing
agency, it explained. For example,
they will not be required to execute
the declaration of appointee on the
reverse Of the new form, when such
information has been submitted on
the application for employment.
One signature and affidavit by en-
ployes will accomplish the same re-
suits as the three formerly required,
and one notary action will be suf-
ficient.

The House was told today that
there is serious danger of an ex-
plosive outbreak of dengue fever and
imminent possibility of yellow fever
becoming re-established in this

Is exercised.
This prospect was outlined before

tee by DR.. j. w. Mountin, Assistant

public today by the committee in in
Producing the first deficiency appro-
priation bill
DR.. Mountin asked for 500 900 to
institute measures to control the
aedes aegypti mosquito, carrier of
yellow fever and dengue, in South
ern cities, where, he said, that par
ticular type of mosquito has been
found to be prevalent.
1T is apparent" DR.. Mountin told
the committee. that these cities,
which, are representative of the
South in general are susceptible to
infection both with dengue and yell

Unless the aedes aegypti mosqui-
to breeding indices are greatly re-
duced, there is serious danger of an

Suspended Gas Dealers
Ask Voidinq Of 0PA Rule

suit for a permanent injunction,
In which the District Court was
asked to end Office of Price Admin
istration enforcement of a suspen-
sion order against two D. C. gasoline
dealers, was filed in Motions Court
today by Hubert H. Peterson and
Robert j. Boyle. co-partners of the
Haines Gas Station, $500 Georgia
avenue NV.
The OPA suspension order, which
became effective yesterday and is
scheduled to run to March Is. Is
based on allegations that between
July q and November Is, 1912. the
station operators transferred gaso-
line without obtaining coupons, the
complaint states.
The operators assert that the sole
evidence in support of these charges
was information obtained by an in
vestigator upon the basis of the
gasoline inventory in the storage
tanks as compared with the gasoline
ration coupons in the operators
possession. Mr.. Patterson and Mr.
Boyle say that at a November n
hearing of OPA charges they pro-
duced testimony as to the possible
causes of the shortages and deny
that they sold or authorized TO be
sold any gasoline without receiving
coupons in return.
