POSTWAR JOBS AN
IMPORTANT QUESTION

We've heard a lot about the innova-
tions in automobiles, airplanes, houses
and Just about everything else under
the sun which will grace our land fol-
lowing the war but very little has been
said about subject which will be of
even greater Importance TO millions OF
Americans-the return of servicemen and
war workers to peace-time jobs.
Wilfred Sykes, who is president of the
Inland Steel company, vice president of
the National Association of Manufacture
ers and chairman of the associations s
postwar committee, has dealt rather in
length on that subject.
OF utmost Importance to the layman
will be the actual time interval which
will be necessary when plants now pro-
ducing war materials reconvert into pro-
duction of other products The average
length of time involved in most of these
changes will be about six months Sykes
says.
During this time the war workers will
be out of jobs and will be forced to rely
upon savings to tide them over. SIX
months is quite a long period OF time
and unless the workers have piously
put parts of their incomes into war bonds
or have built up siZeable bank accounts
there is a very good possibility that many
may become destitute.
Fortunately all plants will not recon
vert at the same time, Sykes predicts.
When the war against Germany is COM
pleted, many of them will be able to
stop producing tanks and airplanes and
again begin to manufacture automobiles
and baby carriages. This will break up
the reconversion period and assure that
all will not be out of work at the same
time again as in the depression years.
And as the armed forces will probably
take considerable time in releasing all
the men even after the last Jap has been
buried, there is very good chance that
service men will be able to find jobs IN
plants already reconverted. The ser
vices will probably release men at regu-
lar intervals and by the time one group
is ready to be put into civilian life again
those,who had been released before them
will already have been absorbed into
industry.
But war workers can be sure of one
thing. That idle period of plant recon-
version will be there. About the best
way to prepare for it is to buy bonds and
more bonds and thus insure the future
in two ways.

Boost for Boeing

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-UP)-t
Economic stabilization director Fred
M. Vinson was expected today to
give early approval to War Labo
Board recommendation for qwagt
increases designed to increase pro
duction of Bit flying fortresses.
The WLB last night authorized
wage increases affecting about rs
per cent of employees at the Seattle
and Benton, Wash, plants of the
Boeing aircraft Co. The increases.
will not become effective until Vim
son approves them. Wilson'S ap-.
proval is expected shortly, how
ever, inasmuch as the increases
we're approved in principle by the
war mobilization committee OF
which he is member.
The WLB's revised schedule calls
for SLIGO an hour for highly skilled
workers, a 13-cent increase. It
also provides for starting rate of
821a cents an hour as compared
with the present rate of 67. The
board also Authorized an increase

A POSSIBLE ANSWER
Sacramento Bee)

In the News Behind the News recently
was published the information that the
Ramspeck committee investigating the
personnel of federal departments shortly
will reveal, among other things, the
strange methods by which employees are
selected for places on the federal pay
roll.
1t pointed out that in one department
the competence of applicants for gov
ernment Jobs is determined by three per-
sons who previously were employed as
an elevator operator a drug store soda
mixer and telephone operator.
The disturbing feature of the dispatch
is the statement that this situation is not
peculiar to this one agency but prevails
in many other government departments.
If true the report offers an example
of outrageous disreard for the use of
the taxpayers money.
Just what standards these three per-
sonnel experts are capable of setting up
for future government employees would
be interesting to know, but at least the
committee revelation may explain how
some people managed to get on the lush
government payroll,

Clarifying
Yourself.
By ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

You've probably heard a dozen
women say when someone mentions
that they look as though they've
put on weight, Honestly, / don't
weigh pound more than have in
the last five years"
And they may be right. What has
happened is that lack OF exercise
has softened them. AS a result,
ther hips have spread, their arms
and legs have become flabby and
their chest has sagged.
Some of the best lessons on what
planned exercise will do to correct
figure faults are to be found among
new WAC recruits. Many OF them
look pounds lighter after their four
weeks of basic training, but what
has really happened is that their
weight has been distributed and
their flesh firmed.
Swimming is one of the best
exercises for bringing all the
muscles into play. Another exercise
WAC instructors recommend is to
stand with feet together, hands at
sides. Jump up, swinging arms
straight out from sides until hands
clap together over head and at
same time spread legs so that you
land with feet about three feet
apart. From this straddle position,
Jump up, bringing feet together
and arms down, SO that you re-
turn to original position. Repeat 20
times.

CAN'T THEY TAKE IT?
(Christian Science Monitor)

tCnflSU1dn Science MOilllOI)
Whenever a war-plant worker takes
half week off for spree or flshlng
trip he incurs the displeasure OF his boss
and of his loyal fellow-workers. He is
looked upon as a Stacker IN the war ef-
fort, and whenever such absenteelsm al
fects a considerable number OF men 1T
seriously hampers production and delays
victory, possibly at the cost OF many
lives
At present the liquor industry of the
nation-the whisky distillers, that is
which has been converted by government
order to distilling alcohol for munitions
and synthetic rubber, is bringing pres
sure on the War Production Board to be
permitted to switch to making liquor
again for a few months, or weeks, or
even days.
In other words, the whisky makers
want to halt production for war-if even
for a short time-and devote precious
corn or rye to the manufacture of lux
ury product.
Attention is called to an editorial re-
produced on this page today from The
Courier-J ournal of Louisville, Kentucky,
the center of the whsky-distilling indus
try. which takes the whisky makers to
task for proposing such diversion from
their wartime tasks and intimates they
have been badly advised.
The Courier-J ournaPs judgment is re-
strained No one is forcing the distillers
into thir present contemtible position as
slackers in the war effort The only mo-
tive apparent is the sordid one which
has always actuated the entire industry.
The whisky people should not be permit
ted to get away with sabotagng the war
effort. They are "in it, for the duration
and must not be allowed to desert
