Vast Changes Developing
For Postwar Industries

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Industrial
history and experience of the first
few years after World War One
may account for the note of urgency
that marks the comment of indus
trialists on the need for postwar
planning
Production for a major war, as
now fully recognized, brings revolu-
tionary changes in manufacturing
techniques involving machines; up
sets the whole scheme of inter-
relationships of industries and mar
kets, for some companies it may
mean transition from relative OBJ
scurlty to industrial prominence, for
others it may carry the threat of
sudden obsolescence and dissolution.
1t makes a somewhat scrambled
market picture-steel invading on
larger scale the prefabricated hous-
Ing field and other spheres of public
consumption; integrated petroleum
companies expanding chemical op-
erations; chemical companies going
in for plastics output in a big way
and certain textile concerns enter
Ing both chemical and plastics fields.

Army to Release Prewur Cars
For Essential Civilian Service

Thousands of noncombat Army
vehicles, trucks and passenger
cars of the vintage OF 1910 and
earlier, will be released soon for
essential civilian use, the War
Department announced today.
The vehicles are those for which
it is almost impossible to get needed
spare parts without disrupting the
service to civilians and commercial
transportation companies.
To forestall any false hopes, it
was specifically pointed out jeeps
are not to be included for release.
That is because the jeeps were not
standardized for Army use until
1941.
Heretofore, the Army disposed of
noncombat vehicles only when they

|Countersteps Taken

Acoustic 1orpedoes
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Counter measures to combat Ger
man acoustic torpedoes are being
taken by the Navy.
Rear Admiral Francis S. Low. an
nounced this yesterday, confirming,
in effect. reports that the Nazis
have developed such a weapon, led
to its mark by the sound of a ships
propeller and engines.
He declared in a radio interview:
I'VE do not pretend to know all
the answers, but we are actively
working on counter measures and
have no doubt but that we will de-
velop satisfactory ones"
He gave no details on either the
acoustic torpedo or the counter
measures.
U-Boat Power Fades.
Admiral Low gave his opinion that
despite the reported new weapon the
U-boat fleet lis bent if not broken.
We estimate their remaining
strength in the hundreds. We feel
sure that at the rate they are being
sunk they cannot be making great
gains"
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill have announced
sinking of submarines at rate that
approximates one day, and esti-
mates have been made that the
German submarine replacement pro-
duction cannot be more than Is a
month.
Admiral Low recalled their an
nounced figures and said he has no
doubt of the ultimate complete eX-
termination" of the U-boats. But
he added a warning that further
great damage" may be caused by u
boats before 1--WE wipe, them out"
Losses Very Slight.
Admiral Low farecast cracking
up of morale of the German subma-
rine crews. He declared that good
captain has crew with good
morale, and a poor captain does not.
BY the law of averages" he said,
many of their good captains should
have been sunk"
He added that there can be no
morale without accomplishment
With scores of U-boatS at sea the
damage they are now doing does not
justify their existence. They are
either avoiding opportunities to at
tack or are incompetent to take ad-
vantage of those presented"

OF the vehicles will be announced
later.
Prior to 1910, most vehicles pur-
chased by the Army were not
radically different from those being
used for civilian purposes. AS needs
for spare parts arose, the com
mercial market was drawn upon
However, since the Army did no,
acquire large reserve of parts, it
has been necessary to make pur-
chaSes from dealers, who at the
same time, are dependent on their
limited stores to keep commercial
fleets rolling.
To relieve this situation 1t has
been decided to augment civilian
fleets in essential operation with
Army vehicles. Models procured
by the Army since 1910 were pur-
chased under a special program
that provided a reserve Of spare
parts.

George Urges Byrnes
To Avert Rail Strike
By Wage Settlement
BY the Associated Press,

Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia appealed to War Mobiliza-
ton Director James F. Byrnes today
to headoff threatened strike OF
incorporating railway employees
without possible intervention by
Congress-by attempting some ad-
Justment OF their wage dispute.
Joining Senator Wagner. Demo-
crat, of New York in efforts to OBJ
tain speedy end of the controversy,
which now revolves around Stabili-
zation Director Fred M. Wilson'S re-
fusal to approve an Scent hour
increase. Senator George said he
thought it unwiSe to bring the issue
before Congress at this time as pro-
posed by Senator Truman, Demo-
crat, of Missouri.
Senator Wagner suggested that
Mr.. Vinson withdraw an alternate
4-to-10-cent an hour sliding scale
increase which the rail workers have
rejected and grant them the fiat
rate pay Increase, despite Mr.. Vim
sons contention that this would
break the. Little Steel formula and
make 1t impossible to hold the line
against inflationary wage boosts.
Senator George said it seemed to
him that the agreement reached last
August by the carriers and the Is
incorporating unions on the 8-cents-
an-hour increase had been arrived
at under procedure prescribed by
the Railway Labor Act and as such
stood apart from other wage cases.
IF Congress intervenes in any
wage dispute Senator George said,
Il don't see how it can avoid inter-
vention in other similar contro-
versies that may arise. hope it can
be worked out otherwise"
Consideration of the Truman reso-
luton which would put Congress on
record as indorsing the 8-cents-an-
hour increase and declaring it COM
patible with all laws, is scheduled
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee later in the week. 1t pre-
viously was approved by a subcom-
mittee headed by Senator johnson.

earnestly hoped" Mr.. Vinson might
withdraw his opposition to the

Treatment Of Malaria
Medicines Big Test,
GNU. Students Hear

Medical students preparing for
Army and Navy service should con-
centrate particularly on the study
OF malaria, Maj. Gen. Norman T.
Kirk. surgeon general of the United
States Army, declared today at exer-
cises marking the opening of the
12oth year of the George Washing
ton University School of Medicine.
The malaria rate. is to 10
times that of japanese bullets in
the Southwest Pacific for example,
Gen. Kirk declared. Service doctors
are working desperately, he said, to
develop drugs that would more ef-
fectively prevent, control and cure
this tropical disease.
1--WE are not curing malaria" Gen.
Kirk said. I'VE have been asleep.
Now we are working on new drugs
that should have been developed
years ago."
Shortage of Doctors Exists.
The surgeon general described the
need for doctors in armed service
as serious" He estimated that if
the rate of medical training and in
duction of doctors does not increase,
a shortage of 5000 doctors in the
Army and approximately 10000 in
the Navy will result.
Gen. Kirk read to the BIG medical
students present and to a distin-
guished assemblage of doctors from
the armed services and civilian life
a personal letter from 1t. Gen.
Mark w. Clark, commanding the
5th Army in Italy. In praise of the
work done by doctors attached to
the 5th Army, Gen Clark cited that
OF 1886 casualties admitted to field
hospitals In the first days of the
Sicilian and Italian campaigns, only
AZ died. Many of these men would
never have lived, Gen. Clark wrote
to Gen. Kirk, had not the hospitals
been located so close to the bat
tlefields.
The surgeon general declared that
the death rate so far among Amer
lean fighting men has been 2b
per cent contrasted to the 10 to IS
per cent in the last war. Some of
the main factors in keeping the rate
down, he said, have been blood
plasma given by peoples at home.

and use of sulpha drugs to prevent

ton would have no effect upon the
taking Of fathers since 1t "lacks

Senator Wheeler said that the
compromise proposal, which grew
out Of his original bill to prohibit
induction Of parents this year, is at
best "an expression of congressional
feeling that fathers should be taken
only as last resort"
Il doubt II it will have any effect
upon the bureaucrats, he added
They are breaking up homes with
three and four and sometimes as
high as eight and nine children.
The Army has more people now
than they can possibly use.

They don't need legislation to
correct a situation that is detri-
mental to the Nations welfare-if
they set out to correct it."
The bill strikes at Mr.. McNutt In
two ways:
l. BY stripping him Of all author
ity over Selective Service, giving
the President the choice of admin
lstering 1t himself or delegat ting the
authority to the selective service
director.
2. BY prohibiting inductions for
