Eberstadt opposed the shift, con-
tending that Wilson could operate
just as efficiently if the divisions
remained where they were. He
was said to feel that operations
have been proceeding smoothly.
Eberstadt's opinion was said TO
be that, with 100 per cent of the
materials needed for components
guaranteed, Wilson could continue
scheduling-telling manufacturers

without need for direct control
over industry divisions.
The six industry divisions re-
moved from Eberstadt's control
are general industrial equipment.

Wilson formerly exercised juris-
diction over the shipbuilding. radio

3-Point PROGRAM

writes 10 say that comments
such as those we presented last
Sunday help 10 sharpen the
perspective of those in public
relations work.
He enclosed an article by I.
j Ross. president Of Ivy Lee a.
T. j. Ross. from Editor and Pub
Usher. in which Ross points out
that industry got a bad name
although IL was fighting for the
same things that the public
wants. Ross offers the following
three-point program for public
relations experts:
Let US know and try 10
understand ourselves, the his
tory and the nature of the prob
lens that confront business
management today, and the
problems that are liable to arise
tomorrow. In the interest of an
intelligent, and informed opinion
about them and their relation
TO the free enterprise system.
2-"Lef ms try to know public
opinion and 20 keep alive 10 its
long term trends, 10 the end that
in following them, meeting them,
or at least attempting TO turn
them. we are at least aware of
their implications as related TO
industry's actions.
3-"Let uS try 10 make sure
that through the peace As well
as through the war, industry's
ideas. policies. and practices are
such that In industry's advocacy
OF free enterprise American

understood TO be FOR the things

Great American
'GreasebaII' Wins
Recognition in War
BY SILER FREEMAN

Two national magazines this
month carry stories which will
interest Detroit. Both writers
are well known here and have
the mark of authority on the
subjects on which they write.
The first is by Christy Berth
OF the publicity staff of the
Automotive Council for War
Production and a former news
paperman of ability. Berth
writes in Coronet on the Great
A merican Greaseball," the
skilled auto mechanic who has
gone TO war.
The "greaseball' is hardly a
heroic figure but he is helping
keep the planes and the tanks
and the rest of the motorized
equipment moving on the fsr-
flung theaters of battle. He is
not in uniform but he is doing
a terrific job. fixing a crippled
plane in Libya. a tank in North
Africa. a truck in the South
Pacific.
Virtually every company can
show a dramatic series of
stories about their mechanics
who are now their field repre-
sentativcs. Those capa Bile
hands. which can handle a
wrench better than gun, are
the United States secret
weapon" according 10 Berth.
