overall output is so per cent higher
than In 1912, while the 1914 rate
would be 80 per cent above that OF
1912.
Specifically he said aircraft ton
mage this year was up 140 per cent
from 1912 and had reached a rate
235 per cent above 1912. For 1914
he expects a rate of 1926 per cent
above 1912.
Naval ship production, now at a
rate more than double last years,
although only up rs per cent for
the full year. will fall off slightly
next year. Merchant ship output will
be raised slightly.
Rear Admiral w. H. P. Blandy,
chief of the Bureau of Naval Ord
nance, who yesterday relinquished
that post to go on active sea duty,
also advised Americans to prepare
for difficult fighting.
Our victory will not be won with
out continued efforts equal in de-
votion and efficiency to those put
forth in our days of greatest uncer-
tainty," he declared.
Joseph B. Eastman, director of
the Office of Defense Transporta- =
ton, told the meeting that insuffi-
cient tire and truck requirements to
meet 1914 requirements might af-
feet the Nations transportation sys-
tenn.
The more truck transportation is
impaired" he said, "the more di-
version of traffic there will be from
truck to rail, and unfortunately most
OF it will be the kind of traffic
short haul freight-which is least
adapted to efficient railroad move
ment."
Mr.. Eastman paid tribute to the
performance of the Transportation
systems during the emergency but
said that the next few months will
be the most critical period of the
war, with increasing quantities of
goods and men routed through the
Nations seaports from interior
points.

NAM Chairman SAYS
|ndustria|izdtion Of
World Will Aid u. ).
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-William P.
Witherow. chairman of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
said today businessmen must not
fear the industrialization of other
nations" and declared 1T has def
mite advantages for U.S."
Referring to the part America
must play in world reconstruction,
Mr.. Witherow, president of Blaw-
Knox Co. Of Pittsburgh, told the
48th annual meeting of the NAM:
1T may cause some shift in the
type of some of our imports, but
the industrialiZation of South
America, for example, should make
more customers for American prod
ucts, putting purchasing power in
the pockets of millions of under
privileged who never were custom
ers before"
Title of Mr.. Witherow's speech
before the second session of the
MANS three-day conference was.
Every Hottentot a Capitalist"
Before the NAM convention in
December, 1912. Mr.. WitheroW had
said: Il am not fighting for quart
OF milk for every Hottentot, or for
IVA on the Danube, or for gov
ernmental handouts of free Utopia"
Gives Three-POint Program.
Calling attention to the storm
OF concern" over that address, Mr..
Witherow continued:
You see, the answer to the Hot
tentot's dilemma is that we would
make him capitalist, capable of
producing for his own welfare and
security and contributing to the well
fare of his own and other countries"
He said trade realism would cause
us to do three things quickly after
this war:
u. Provide funds for emergency
relief of distressed nations.
q. Early stop Of lease-lend for
postwar purposes.
'3. Agree on a settlement of past
lease-lend on basis that is possible
of liquidation, thereby taking the
uncertainty of these obligations out
of the trade picture"
Wilson Sees Long War.
Charles E. Wilson, executive vice
chairman of the War Production
Board, yesterday predicted a long
hard struggle lay ahead before Ger
many would fall, taxing the Nations
capacity for production and sacrifice
beyond anything we have expert
enced so far"
After that Japan will be tough.
dangerous, persistent enemy" Mr..
Wilson told the convention.
Mr. Wilson attacked special DO
lltlcal and economic groups" which
he said wanted to win victory for
themselves regardless of the conse-
quences for the Nation and, turning
to pre-l944 politics, asserted:
Il am deeply alarmed today over
the possibility that right wing re-
action may draw some sections of
capital so far away from our ira
dltions as to imperil the entire
structure Of American life as We
know it."
Such trend. he said. would be
playing into the hands of the
enemy"
Too many Americans" Mr. Will
son said, have been encouraged
by recent events to settle back in
their psychological rocking chairs
and brood about their personal prob
lens. That is dangerous frame
of mind. We need to yank ourselves
out of those chairs, hitch up our
pants, spit on our hands and make
full use of our economic muscles.
Outlining the WPB's plans for
production to fight the war;" Mr..
Wilson estimated that this year

at the National Association Of
Manufacturers war congress, during

leaving only about 13,O00,0 ,0C0 in the
eligible 1888 age group outside.
Breaks Down Total.
Gen. Hershey broke this group
down into approximate totals of
100000 deferred for occupational
reasons 1,600,000 in industry and
100000 in agriculture, $500, 900
who have been rejected, 1000 900 in
process and 100000 in 3-A-pre-
Pearl Harbor fathers.
From these groups, he said, Il
must furnish 100000 to 100000 to
the armed forces
While opinion varies as to the
physical condition of some of the
3-A" group, Gen. Hershey COM
Evening star., 1943-12-09

mented. he expected 1000 600 could
be found to make up about half the
requirements for contemplated ex-
pansion during the next six months.
Another 400, 900 boys will become Is
and eligible, while possibly 100000
reaching the age of II will enlist in
the Navy or Marine Corps.
Age Will Be Factor.
This leaves, Gen. Hershey said
about 100000 who must come from
PA or 2-B classifications, occupa-
tionally deferred. Farm deferred
and AT ranks, he suggested, would
have to provide 100000 to 100000.

Hershey Says Draft
Won't Taper Off for
AT Least 6 Months
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Maj. Gen
Lewis B. Hershey declared last night
that ct least six months more of
draft must be expected before armed
service demands for manpower
taper off to maintenance levels.
The Selective service director esti-
mated the total in service would
reach 100000 by June 30, 1914,
with this number subject to revi-
sions which might be forced by
changed strategy or conditions of
battle
While thus forecasting the con-
tinued growth of the Army for half
year more Gen. Hershey made

ably would meet the maintenance
requirements replacements.
Gen. Hershey said it was likely
deferments Of men under 80 would
become more difncult, legislation af-
fecting deferments was a possibility,
Evening star., 1943-12-09

physical standards might be lowered
and decentralization of deferment
decisions will be continued. This
last, while not further explained, ap-
parently meant power would be left
in the hands Of local boards.

noted that In certain important
respects synthetic rubber is not VT

Army Censors
|FoceCensure
Witticisnos
BY the Associated pres.

By the Associated Press.
A military censor has no right to
add his comment-witty or other
wise to the mail he examines.
Announcing this, the War De-
partment has asked anyone finding
remarks added by the censor in mail
received from soldiers to report the
incident to the adjutant general
sending along the letter and en-
velope. 80 that the point of origin
and the identity of the offending
censor may be determined for dis
ciplinary action" The letters will
be returned.
Censorship Of communications to
and from persons under military
Jurisdiction" the department said
"is a necessity in wartime to pre-
vent disclosure Of information which
would give aid and comfort to the
enemy.
THE War Department has never
intended that privacy of the mail
should be invaded beyond this abso-
lutte necessity for security.

suit if the War Labor Board re-
fuses to sanction the Illinois agree

The miners have shown their
sincerity and it is time for the WLB
to show it is sincere. A contract
