On the
Business
Front
By WARD SCHULTZ
Financial Editor

Perhaps I'm unduly perturbed
about this business of gas ra-
tioning since being taken over
the hurdles by the OPA the
other day, but the bitter fact
remains that more and more
Detroiters are going 10 realize
that a c book in their pockets
does not solve the problem in
definitely.
Ed Gemrich. OPA state attor-
ney. gets a "safety-zone" view
of the situation every morning
and what he sees doesn't tend
10 make him any more lenient
either.
He says that the b and C. cars
60 buzZing past on Jefferson
avenue with one passenger fire.
quent, and two the average.
To the rationer, this doesn't
make sense when the share-the-
ride is the backbone of the pro-
gram.
Hal Smith, new president OF
the Detroit Stock Exchange,
tells me that his A card doesn't
permit regular driving and he
offers a similar story.
THE Ii and & stickers 90
floating past and nine chances
out of 10, when some one stops
and offers a ride all he has Is an
A card" says Hal.
A good tip 10 firms here would
be TO revive those share the ride
plans and get them into opera
tion before employees gas cards
have TO be renewed.

WHAT CAN BE MADE

The order is a simple one, he
explained. In the past. the WIPE
ruled what products could NOT be
made. This order will reverse the
procedure and simply rule what
products are really NEEDED and
therefore CAN be made-the rest
will simply be OUT
Cherne listed the authors OF
these master plans as the BIG
FOUR Of the war program.
'They are Ferdinand Eber-
stadt from Wall Street: Ernest
kanzler. formerly of Ford:
Charles Wilson of General Elec-
trio and the war department."
he said. THE last New Dealer
in that group died of an inferi-
ority. complex"

Fine Precedent

The practice Of some of the
banks here Of annually running
an ad in which they list their
entire executive personnel is a
good one and could well be fol-
lowed by industrial firms.
II seems to me that any firm
dealing with the public has an
obligation TO disclose the iden-
tty of its management.
Too. it's about time that in
dustrial firms follow the banks
policy Of advertising their earn
ings statements and balance
sheets. Here again is something
that should he made a matter OF
public record.

trel.
Each bank has established
coupon rationing departments
and all will be ready when ra-
tioning goes into effect, January
%. The banks have also pledged
themselves TO increase their
efforts In the sale Of war bonds.
The records show Detroit banks
have done an outstanding job
from the very outset--and their
campaign will be intensified until
victory In won," he concluded.

Little Business
All Through,
Expert Claims
Outlines Master Plan
for Industry's Use
in Wartime Economy

War brings with 1t the death
of small enterprise!
This was the rather gloomy out
look which Leo NJ. Cherne, execu-
tive secretary of the Research
Institute OF America. held out 10
several hundred Detroit business
men attending the Economic Club
OF Detroit.
He said that casualties on the
home front, in terms of the old
and familiar, would be almost as
numerous as on the battle 'front.'
and that the next12 months will
see more drastic changes in the
scene than in any other
year in our history.
Cherne continued that middle
class industry would survive by
cfinging 10 the coat-tails OF big
as subcontractors.

TELLS OF TREND

"Get to know the word 'ra-
tionalization'," Cherne urged.
THAT Is going 10 be one OF the
most important I'm our language.
II simply means that milk from
Michigan will be sold I'm Michi-
gan and not shipped to New
York. And that there will be
no cross-shipments OF beer or
any other products.
DECENTRALIZATION Of enterprise
means that labor, power. trans
portation, and the industrial
facilities and machines them
selves will be rationed--that
they will he plotted, charted,
ailocated and-tfs~ti- where they
are needed most.
The research specialist pre-
dieted fatty that the price sqtieez'
would become more apparent II

HARVESTING
IS COMPLETE

Farm crops in Big Horn coun-
ty were more completely harvet-
ed in 1943 than for a number of
years, according to George W.
Gustafson, county extension ag-
ent.
The favorable weather condi-
lions which prevailed had much
to do with setting the record.
A good start has been made
for next year with record fall
blowing. Farmers have taken
full advantage of the fine wea-
ther permitting this initial pre-
paration of the ground for next
years production. This is an in
surance of greater yields of the
essential war crops, Mr.. Gust
afson pointed out.

ded over the meeting of the

ligs last Sunday in his capacity
as president of that body.

nese pheasants for stocking the
area was passed at the meeting.
MI. Rankin says the resolu-
ton will be presented to the

Ing that there shall be "absol-
utely no killing of hen Chinese
pheasants."

Montana Congressional delega-
ton.
