FOLLOWING is partial tert OF Ber-
nard M. Baruchs n,ahpo,0er report:
Airplane production schedules can
and must be met. The air opera
tions over Europe which are doing
such spectacular damage to our
enemies are limited today by the
supply OF planes. When we increase
production, we increase the bomb
ings over Germany, both the number
of raids made and how deeply into
Germany those raids can CO.. We
bring the bombing of Toxic that
much closer. We bring the war that
much nearer to an end. No other
military production program, as far
as we can see, will give us such re-
suits in so short time.
Therefore, we have proceeded on
the basis that whatever is to be done
must be done Immediately; that ac-
ton cannot be delayed in marching
for perfection, or until new legisla-
ton, such as National Service Act,
can be obtained.
Proper handling of manpower has
been made impossible by the failure
Of Government agencies to work as
team with a clearly unified pro-
gram. Measures undertaken by one
agency have been undone by the
conflicting actions or inactions of
other agencies. In discussions with
omcials of the War Production
Board, War Manpower Commission,
and other agencies, we have sought
to develop a program on which all
agencies can agree and take action
at once and one which will work.
Workers Need Assurance.
Nor was there any time to make
this a study of the entire manpoWer
problem. 1t is aimed primarily at
West Coast aircraft difficulties. -
We recommend that all necessary
aircraft workers on the West Coast
definitely be assured of deferment.
These deferments should be ex-
tended to subcontractors manufac-
turing parts for the West Coast
plants.
This assurance should be given
workers Immediately SO they will
know where they stand; it should
not be held up until after October l.
Continuance of these deferments,
it should be understood, will depend
on the aircraft industry assuming
responsibility for seeing that defer
ments are requested only for alb
solutely essential workers.
A second threatened loss is of high
school boys and girls now working
in aircraft plants and who are likely
to return to classrooms in the fall.
In the entire country, we are told,
there are 100000 schoolboy war
workers alone. They are excellent
workers, and their loss would be a
serious blow to production.
Draft deferments and part-time
shifts for schoolboys will avert the
two most immediate threats to the
West Coast aircraft industry, but
they cover only part of the problem.
Demand, Supply Out of Line.
Even with the most successful re-
cruiting of new workers, the local
labor supply apparently can meet
only about one-half of the produc-
ton demands already scheduled in
coming months. And this makes no
provision for additional labor de-
mands that are certain to come as
we press our offensive in the Pacific
A disastrous breakdown of vital
production programs all though the
Pacific Coast region is threatened
not only aircraft, but ship build
ing. ship repair, canning, mining
numbering, and others. This break

Both Of these are equally effective
when used In the proper environ
ment and arranged with imagina-
ton.
In the stylized group, which are
intended to look artificial, might be
all the grasses. pods, leaves and
flower forms which are dyed, color
coated, glazed or painted with
bronze, gold or silver. Arrange
ments using this type Of material
have decorative value just as a
fine piece of sculpture, beautiful
painting or other objet dart might
have in your room scheme. 1t is
not intended to create the sweet
little honey touch. 1t is expected
to lend an air Of sophisticated
smartness to the room in which 1t
is placed. For this reason it de-
mands more understanding Of line
and composition in its arrangement
than the natural-appearing bowl Of
flowers.
There is no more reason to try to
make silvered leaves with stark
white seed pods look natural than
there Is to try to make nasturtiums
look stylized and conventional. Treat
each one as they were intended to
be used. It will be perfectly reason
able to arrange the first group on a
piece of mirror without benefit OF
container and place the whole
against piece of carved wood
paneling or brilliant fabric. 1t is
understood that a container for
water is not essential to the we'll
being OF this frankly artificial ma
terial. On the other hand, leaves
seed pods, tendrils, buds and flow
ers Of the nasturtium should be SC
placed as to give the most convinc-
ing effect of realness.

| Fashions On,
off Stage

At the opening OF Frederick Ions
dale's new play at the National on
Monday two fashion stories un-
folded from two sides Of the curtain.
For the audience the story was one
Of the short dinner dress which ap-
peared In many guises, most of them
as gay and sophisticated as the new
comedy. Far and away the favorite
was the short black dress with the
top bare, sheer or beaded for eye
appeal. One Of the newest was q
short black. crepe dinner suit worn
by an attractive blond who tucked
in the throat an ascot of black tulle
spattered with shower of red
sequins. A short real" evening
dress walked down the aisle and
caused few heads to turn tours
includedD. Made Of black lace, it
was threaded at the low neckline
with wide pink "candy-box" ribbon
which also made the straps.
A few long dinner dresses were
noted at this opening, one of the
smartest being black marquisette
with sheer, sheer yoke and long,
tight sleeves, all topped with a
Julette cap Of jet beads for the
only note OF glitter on this smart
ensemble.
Newest fashion note was the short.
brown ensemble which we spotted
two or three times. Very good. in
deed, was the coppery- brown taffeta
dinner suit with epaulettes Of braid.
Also new-looking was the short,
brown theater dress which one at
tractive brunette highlighted with
a wide copper satin ribbon banding
her short, pageboy bob. Look for
more Of these wide hair bands.
They're new and very nice with the
new, neat coif1ures.
The other half Of the fashion
story was on the stage-in the cos
tunes designed by Hattie Carnegie.
Back OF the footlights the star was
the long dinner dress-the kind of
dress one would wear for large
party at home, especially If one
wanted to leave an impression with
some particular beau. Miss Carnegie
parties colors in the same light
handed, ight-hearted way Mr.. Ions
dale parties wit, and the effect is
wonderful. Chartreuse lace, for ex-
ample, makes one dramatic, long
sleeved dinner dress, its only trim
ming a tremendous whoosh bow OF
kelly-green satin at the hipline.
Our favorite-and one of the smart
est fashions you1l see in many a
moon was two-piece dinner dress
worn by the star, Margaret Lind
say. The skirt was dark green, slim
and slit; the top was soft-shoul-
dered tunic of hot pink" satin
which buttoned down the back, end
ing in . big hustle of a bow. A
mauve afternoon dress achieves
drama via kelly-green bows fore Cat
the waist) and aft Cat the neck) for
decorative dramatic effect. The
black dinner dress held the spotlight,
too, slim, stark black made startling
by peplum of Shimmering gold
sequins-a trick you might try on an
old dinner dress and a new mascu-
line conquest. E. H.
