Report of The Truman Committee Many Recommendations Made for the Rene-
 gotiation of War Contracts.
 FrOm Connecticut Economic CouncN
From The Connecticut Economic Councln

The report of the Truman Com- mittee engaged in the investigation of the renegotiation of war con- tracts which was released for publi- cation on March 30th contains the following recommendations:
 ~l. Immediate uniflcation Of Price Adjustment Boards and sim plification of price adjustment or ganixation.
 ~2. Immediate adoption and publication of uniform adjustment policies - most important of which should be to measure the reward by the quality and economy of the pro- duction job done and thus ofter an additional incentive to high-quaslty. low-coSt production.
 sS3. The 9l00.OOO exemption in the present renegotiation law should be increased to $5O0.O00 and clear ance of contractors not making ex- cessive profits should be further sianplIfled by requiring the filing of copies Of the income-tax returns ot contractors subject to renegotiation with the Price Adjustment Board.
 @A. The present uncertainty. uHl- fairness to contractors whose per- fOrmance has extended over a long term, and lack of administrative uniformity in determinations of what profits are subject to renego- tiation can and should be minimlzed by an administrative presumption that to the extent that productioi was completed before December q. iO4l, or January 1. 1922 whichever date is more practicaD 1t was done pursuant to contracts fully paid TOT before April %, 1922:
 s.S. one governmental determln- atlOn of allowable and unallowable costs should be made binding on contractors and on government for both income tax purposes and re. negotiation. Unnecessary duplicating government audits should be eliin- mated. s
 ae. Refunds agreed to in renego- tlation should not be forced out of 8 contractor fin a manner or at a time which is likely to hinder war pro- duction.
 s5. An important objective of re. negotiation should be the increased use of administrative power to ex. empt from renegotiatiOn all con- tracts in which renegotiation Is not deemed necessary to protect the government.

PACIFIC LULU BELIEVED OVER

 Washington. April e.-(Cp)lThe long Mll on the Pacific battlefront apparently has ended with Amer. lcan and Japanese exchanging in~ eEeASinely powerful blows
 Some authorities expressed belief today that the Increased combat activity ln recent days portends . renewal of the Pacific strOgeAe on . major scale.
 The Japanese have initiated most 0f the aggressive moves in recent 0NyS, but some quarters suggested that the enemy was taking Q in~ ttiatlve to prevent American inter. ference with their efforts Co strengthen the NrtNored defense periMeter around Japans stolen eMplre>
 This offensive defensive pattern has been dlscerned in the recent Japanese air raid Involving co planes against oro Bay, Allted shipping anchorage in New Guinea, and the sS>plane raid on American shipping near 0NNdalcanal,
 The Japanese have appeared Nl- most frantic in their efforts to rein~ force air, naval and ground strength at their ring Of bass, especially tn the southwest Pacific, since the re- cent conference of high-ranklng Pa- cific military and naval officers here, This. observers believe, indt. cateS that tho enemy fears Q big American offensive,
 Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- Son tn his weekly press conference review of the war said that there were further indications that the JNpAneSe have increased their air strength tn the ASiatic theater and in tho southwest Pacific,
 '~rhey have recently taken a more aggressive attitude and the number and SiRe of their air raids have in- creased" he added,
 However, Stimson said, the United States has increased its air strength ln those areas "and further increas- es are tn prospect"
 GA dispatch from Gen. Douglas AacArthWr's headquarters tn Aus tralla quoted an authoritative source as estimating that the United States has built up Q reserve ot l0,- OOO combat planes In America over and above lend-tsase commitments and assignments to various fronts. Four of MacArthur's aides recently returned to Australia after appeal. inE in Washington for the dispatch of more materials to the southwest Pacific,

 ''This policy can be applied to provide Q high degree of profit in- centive by giving contractors who perform efficiently and at low cost in the first four months larger es- timated profit margin for the second four months and vice versa.
 'W. While there :s certainly no justification in the allowance of ex- cesSive or padded reserves for post war conversion purposes. it is be- lleved that sound national policy rec quires the encouragement of manu- lecturers to set up such reserves and that somewhat more liberal allow anceS of profit margins might prop erly be made to contractors who create reasonable reserves of this character than are allowed to con- tractors who spend or distribute all profits as they are earned.

Dear Mrs. J. III. 8:
I do not believe your prob
lem is simply that you are tired
of your husband and family. I
think the real problem is that
YOU have had too much respon-
sibility at too young an age.
Being married at IL years. and
having a baby at Is, didn't give
you enough time to grow up.
il there any way that YOU
could arrange 10 have vaca-
ton for couple of months?
Is there relative that could
keep house for yaur husband
and children: Perhaps IL YOU
talked the matter over with
your husband and your physi-
cha some plan could be worked
out so that you could rest your
body as well as your feelings.
Being away for a little while
may make you feel entirely diff
ferent about your husband and
children.
