he said, will deal not only with the
past history of the war planning but
also with future proposals and justi-
fication for such steps
In connection with the revision of
procurement schedules. MIR. Byrnes
announced the appointment of a
number of representative of de-
partments and agencies who will
serve as liaison men with his Office.
He said that Fred Searles will be
the contact man for the Maritime
Commission. Brig. Gen. Henry S.
Grand of Chicago, for lease-lend;
w. F. Gibbs, for Navy. and Frederick
Pope, for War. Some others are
still to be named.
Mr.. Byrnes explained some spots
had been uncovered that need cor
rection. He said that in the early
days of the war procurement pro-
gram officials eager to get materials
placed orders for whatever they
thought they needed. Now, he con-
tinued, "as the war has proceeded
we have found that things we
thought we needed are not needed" !"
Mr.. Byrnes also pointed out the
new DEW. which Is taking over the
procurement of strategic war ma
terials in foreign fields, is to make
Its policies conform to those of the
State Department in the areas of
operations.
Mr.. Byrnes said that Leo r.
Crowley. the head of the DEW,
must consult the State Depart

Il believe that in applying all of
our new findings to fresh indus

Among the feasible facts about
television in the postwar period,
Mr.. Beal included the following:
A network of automatic monitor
stations will be employed to relay
televisions images and sound from
central transmitting tower to any
desired distance. Thus a planned
relay from New York to WASHINGTON
could be extended to any part of the
country.
Action and sound can be relayed
from fixed stage-outdoors or in

portable equipment. The stunt
of transmitting an aerial picture
