Lands Says
Car Shorinq
Is Necessary
300 of Workers
Transported By
Private Cars

WASHINGTON, March 12-Spe-
cial. Sharing Of private transpor-
tation is absolutely necessary to
solve the problem of getting our
growing army Of workers to and
from work." James NJ. Lands,
Director Of Civilian Defense, said
today.
Calling on Defense Councils to
increase their efforts to aid in
forming car clubs, following the
appeal of the Office of Price Ad-
ministration, Director Lands
termed the need for full utiliza-
ton Of private cars in essential
driving as "an absolute necessity"
"The only alternative, he as
serted, would be to deny needed
fuel and equipment to our forces
on the fighting fronts, choice no
American would consider"
Comments on Appeals
Commenting on the appeals Of
both OPA and the Office of De-
fense Transportation for maxi
mum use of private automobiles in
essential driving, to relieve the
strain on public transportation;
Mr. Lands said
''It seems mathematical cer-
tainty that car-sharing is by far
the most effective means Of assur-
ing adequate transportation for
our growing labor force.
"Our entire public transporta-
ton system Of busses, street cars.

ried only IA per cent of this traffic
during the u months preceding
this war. Eighty-six per cent of
our people went to work in private
automobiles.

Wallace Describes Three
Basic PHILOSOPHERS

third world war is to be averted,
the western democracies must learn
to live side by side in peaceful CO.
operation with the Soviet Union,
Vice President Henry A. Wallace
warned here March s in a speech
before the Conference on Christian
Bases of World Order.
Describing Prussianism, MARKHAM
communism and Christian democ-
racy as the three basic PHILOSOPHERS
in the world today, Wallace as
serted: "The future we'll being of
the world depends upon the ex-
tent to which Marxianism, as it is
being progressively modified in
Russia, and democracy, as we are
adapting it to goth century condi-
tions, can live together in peace"
Full Employment Must Be Given
"We shall decide some time in
1943 or 1914 whether to plant the
seeds for World War No. g." Wal
lace continued. "That war will be
certain if we allow Prussia to re-
arm either materially or psyche
logically. That war will be probable
if we fail to demonstrate that we
can furnish full employment after
this war comes to an end and
fascist interests, motivated largely
by anti-Russian bias, get control of
our government.
"Unless the western democracies
and Russia come to a satisfactory
before the war ends,
I very much fear that World War
No. will be inevitable"
Outlining the duty of the United
Nations to reeducate the German
people who have been imbued with
Hitler's gangster version of the
Prussian military tradition, Wal
lace said: "We cannot countenance
the soft, lazy forgetfulness which
characterized England and France
in their treatment of Germany in
the thirties. The cost of such short

GOOD WORK
l want to commend Clara REM,
who has done such a fine job for

and good Americanism go hand in
hand. Let's give Clara big hand.
Acklin bowlers had a rattle and
wish to thank the members of the

Acklin Unit has received letter
from the Treasury Department
thinking the employees of the plant
for their participation in the 10
per cent payroll deduction.
According to Treasury figures
95 per cent of the $50 employees
of the Acklin UAW are participat-
ing in the bond purchases with a
deduction in excess of 10 per cent
from the payroll.
Clara REM in a letter to the
plant employees has the following
to say:
Fellow workers:
1t was a great thrill and pleas
ure to have participated in the
bond drive at our plant. The credit
is all yours. Your unanimous re-
sponse was indication that we on
the home front are eager to put
up a good fight in behalf of our
loved ones who are fighting for us.
Fellow workers, let us continue
to help the bond drive toward sue
