CARGO PLANES:
Back to Metal

New developments prompted the
army's cancellation of contracts for
all wooden transport airplanes and
the return to metallic construction.
The wooden craft were designed
to operate from small, unimproved
landing fields and carry 4,500 pounds
of cargo at medium range. But
partly because of Allied air domi-
nance, good airports have been put
in use in distant combat zones, and
the demand has shifted to faster,
longer-range planes.
Furthermore, it was reported,
aluminium production has increased
in a volume sufficient to take care
of additional plane building, while
certain woods suitable for the type
of transport designed are growing
scarce.
GAS
Production of gasoline and, other
petroleum derivatives can be in
creased by recovering oil now left
in wells, and by processing natural
gas, oil sands and shales, DR.. Gustav
Egloff, renowned scientist, told
joint congressional committee.
He urged governmental aid in de-
veloping synthetic gasoline methods,
but added that he did not think that
making gasoline from coal was ad-
visable Immediately. He said that
eight million men would be needed
to manufacture years supply.
American use of natural gas is
wasteful, continued DR.. Egloff. Last
year an amount of gas was con-
sumed that would have yielded 40
billion gallons of gasoline, or IA
billion more gallons than were actu-
ally used, he said. The nation has
a known supply of natural gas suf-
ficient to last Sc years at the present
rate of consumption, according to
DR.. Egloff.
Poor extraction methods leave
from 70 to 80 per cent of petroleum
in the ground, the doctor estimates.
Better pumping would increase pro-
duction.

CRAM:
Going East

Six hundred million bushels of
corn were used during the second
quarter of 1943, the department of
agriculture reported, with supplies
as of July totaling 872 million BUSH
els. Of this amount, 842 million
bushels remained on farms.
AS of July /, the department stat
ed that there was supply of 290
million bushels of oats; over 200 mil
lion bushels of barley, and 46 million
bushels of rye. Approximately 300
million bushels of wheat were found
available for feed.
In relation to livestock, feed sup
ply is reported to be 20 per cent
smaller than last year and IA per
cent below average.
STRIKE
In the first test of the Smith, Con-
nally law, 1,005 employees of two
plants of the Chalmers COM
pany in Springfield, ILL.,, voted to
strike in protest of the National La
Dor Relations boards refusal to
grant District so of the United Mine
Workers an election to determine its
claim as collective bargaining agent.
A total of 836 voted against a strike.
The ballot read: "Do you wish to
permit an interruption in war pro-
duction in wartime as a result of
this dispute?"
Asserting that the vote indicated
the employees desire for recognition
of District so as bargaining agent,
union officials appealed to the NLRB
for an immediate election. In Wash
ington, an NLRB spokesman said it
was the boards policy not to hold
such an election until expiration of
the contract of the current bargain
ing agent, in this case the CIO Unit
ed Farm Equipment and Metal
Workers of America. The CIO con-
tract terminates in April, 1914.
The fight over jurisdiction came as
new workers were granted scent
hourly raise.

Some Agencies Resist
Order 10 Cut Staffs
Hearings Granted to
Defend Monpower Needs

Budget Bureau orders to Govern
ment agencies to trim their sails in
line with the retrenchment provision
of the temporary pay bill have met
with "a few complaints bureau
spokesman said today. Wherever
the protestants argue that the pro-
posed cuts would bring personnel be-
low actual needs, they are getting
the opportunity to defend the pres
ent size of their stats.
Under the terms Of the legislation,
the bureau Is empowered to order
reductions in those instances where
it is decided that a surplus of per-
sonnel exists, so the extra manpower
can be used elsewhere to advantage,
but it has been said at the bureau
that no overall picture of the results
of this program is yet available.
Budget Director Harold D. Smith
is due to testify at the House Civil
Service Committee personnel inves-
tigation Tuesday and it is expected
that some figures will be ready at
that time.
When the pay bill was enacted in
December. formally inaugurating
the 48-hour week, 1t was expected to
create surplusage of manpower in
some agencies, as with the exception
of the War and Navy Departments,
which already were on the long
week, establishments generally were
working "A hours. 1t was on this
theory that the retrenchment pro-
vision was written in the law.
The proposed permanent legisla-
ton, now pending in Senate and
House, would tighten this provision
by requiring periodic reports to Con-
gress on the savings being accom-
plished.

cigarettes when he was arrested by

.Work-or-Fight' Bill
Affecting IA Countie,
Signed by 0'Conor
Doubts, However, Thot
PIon to Supply War
Labor Is Constitutional
BY the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, April 2.-Able- bod
led male residents between 16 and go
in IA Maryland counties had three
choices today-working, joining the
armed services or becoming guilty of
misdemeanor.
They were given these choices when
Gov. O'Conor signed the "work-or-
fight" emergency bill passed by the
Legislature.
The Governor expressed doubt,
however, that the statute was con-
stitutional, and quoted Attorney
General William C. Walsh as stating
I'VE are unable to definitely state
that this act would be held constitu-
tional, but, on the other hand, we
cannot definitely state that it would
be held unconstitutional"
The measure, originally sponsored
by Senate President Arthur H. Brice
as a Kent County bill, later was
broadened to include 13 other coun-
ties-most of them on the Eastern
Shore and in Southern Maryland.
Purpose of the act, hackers stated
was to supply more labor to farmers
and war industries during the
emergency.
If the agricultural interests of the
State are to meet production
quotas" the Governor said, they
must have additional labor. During
the past year particularly the
scarcity of farm assistance hampered
the harvesting of crops and, in
many instances, there were decided
losses.
AT the same time, people in the
rural districts observed able bodied
men lettering in the towns"

Park Tract Suitable for Victory Gardens
Is Now Used as Northwest Archery Ronoe

One of the finest tracts Of land
suitable for Victory Gardens in the
Northwest section is being used for
an archery range.
This park land is three to four
acres in extent, enough to subdi-
vide into rs to 100 plots. It is COW
cred with heavy turf, which, if
turned, would make good plant food,
and there is a large quantity of
manure nearby which could be
spread on it.
The tract in question is near the
Sixteenth street border of Rock
Creek Park at Kennedy street. AS a
community garden, it would be avail
able to residents of the large area
served by the Sixteenth street buses.
