Nevertheless, thc machine tool
industry itself looks forward TO a
conversion of part of its Ca
pacity TO tho direct production of
war materials. making available
before the end of 19443 some of

some idle capacity.
On its face, the Nelson Wilson

up. The men are two of a kind,

THE OLD GRAY BONNET

(ChriStian Science Monitor)
Lesser things have started 4 revolu-
ton. Yet today British women hardly
look up from their work Only one new
hat every three years, under the new
quota, Undoubtedly the Government
held its breath. But nothing happened.
Tie earth continued to turn upon its
axis. The stars held firmly to the skies.
lhe sun ran its accustomed course
1t is. indeed, a new world. One in which
men and women have become more adapt
able. more reSOurceful. more versatile.
Only one hat in three years Instead of
Shrieking in protest, the average woman
today accepts the inevitable with forti-
tude and proceeds to trim it over so clev-
erly that no one would ever know it was
the same inevitable" that she wore last
year.
In fact, it is doubtful if such an edict
would cause very much more of furor
in the United States. what with bandanaS,
SnoodS, and faScinatorS to save the day.
The chapeau, you may have noticed is not
the formal creation that it once was.
Indeed, 4 mere cluster of artificial flow
erS. affixed to the pompadour frequently
becomes a hat to all intents and pur-
poses. Or it may be perky velvet bow
or piece of fur.
So if coupon So suddenly becomes
good for one hat for the duration, Ameri-
can women will probably take the news
with the same calmneSS expressed by
their British sisters. The old gray bon
net will undergo an overhauling, and
come ont looking like new model. Men
will still pretend to be amazed at the
Imperial Valley press., 1943-03-18

Look for a considerable reShuf-
fling of war contracts as the prin-
cipal result of the next War Pro-
duction Board reorganization which
Donald M Nelson and his new
right-hand man. Charles E. Wilson,
will announce soon.
There will be minor shifts of
personnel within the WPB itself,
subordniates now reporting to one
official reporting to someone else.
That will be the Washington shift
but it will have no particular ef-
feet outside the capital. The Con-
trolled Materials plan and the In
duStry Advisory committees will
continue operating along the lines
now laid out. with minor shifts in
GIMP from time to time as bugs
develop and have to be eliminated.
Otherwise. no major changes in
WPB machinery.
Where the Nelson Wilson plans
industries will be in taking some
contracts away from some manu-
facturers and giving them to
others. While at first glance this
might seem to be a cause for con-
siderable confusion in industry,
WPB spOkesmen insist that it
will not have that effect.
On the other hand, they believe
the redistribution of some contracts
will smooth out war production and
result in greater production. Con-
tracts will not be "renegotiated" in
the sense that contract prices will
te reduced. and no contractor will
make any less profits on his opera
tions as a result of redistribution.

IT WAS FOR GOEBBELS
.(ChicO EnterpriSe).

Herr Goebbels now has something
abol which to talk. One of the two
American field armies is commanded by
a Prussian-born general, Walter Krue-
ger whereas the commander of the 9th
cr. General Eisenhower, is far removed
from his ancestors Germanic origin.
That is quite all right with us. Not
only is General Krueger's Americanism
beyond suspicion, but he has proven him
self to be a soldiers soldier, prime stu
dent of military history and strategy, a
tactican of the first rank. He is one
of those generals who knows how to be
hard-boiled so that his men love him.
If there are any other German-born
officers of Krueger's caliber, by all means
let's send them to the fighting zones as
fast as we know how.
