COMMERCE HEAD
PROPOSES USAGE
FOR WAR PLANTS
Jesse Jones Says Small
Business Should Take
Over After War

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27. Up -
Jesse Jones, who bossed the fl
nanclng of billions of dollars worth
of the government war industries,
told Congress today that o c a
business should get first CALF on
buying them after the war.
These plants should not be sac
rificed or junked," the federal loan
administrator and commerce Sec
rotary told the House Small Bust
ness committee. by and large
they can be used for manufa ctur-
ing things necessary to our peace
time economy
Representative Lanham Cd. TEX
declared in the House, meanwhile,
that disposal of war plants and
equipment after the war lis a
matter of prime Importance for
Congress right now"
"OtherWise, L n h m said
public lands and buildings will
be dumped on the market and
may give an opportunity for whole
sale sales to designing persons who
want to make fortunes at the ex-
pense of the government"
Jones said the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation would be ready
to help local business finance pur-
chase of the plants after the gov
eminent has no further use for
them.
IT don't think we should permit
the war to further concentrate our
economy into big units" he de-
clared.
Many of the plants were built
on a basis which gives the war
contractor an option to buy them
when peace comes.
David E. Castles of st. Louis,
president of the National Automo-
bile Dealers Association, proposed
the creation of a joint government
business committee to police the
disposal of non-perishable surplus
goods through regular retail mar
kets.
He estimated the stockpile of
surplus goods would be worth $780,
and added:
IF these goods are sold in hit
and miss fashion at sacrifice prices
like so much junk in backlot,
the taxpayers viii lose vast
amounts of money and every retail
line represented in the surplus will
be seriously injured by a rush of
spectators to cash in on their
bargain purchases"

And then the laughter broke.
George Blue, at IL months, thinks
any man in uniform must be his
daddy. He will not go to any man
In a blue uniform, but give him
one Of army color and that man
is friend of Georges. Mr.. Church.
Ills uniform. that of an air COM
modore, had caught Georges eye
and he thought that surely this
must be his daddy, whom he hadn't
seen in day or so.
From then on George Blue, jr.,
was the hero of the group that had
seen and heard the greeting to the
Prime Minister of Great Britain.
Mr.. Churchill was in second place.
Fame Should Last.
The fact that he later on en-
barrassed his mother by shouting
daddy" at several other slightly
shocked uniformed young men in
railroad station did not detract from
the stature of his fame.
George Blue, jr., had shouted
Daddy" at the Prime Minister of
England. No one could take that
away from him. The people of
Montreal, to which city he now has
gone to live with his grandmother
and grandfather and his mama until
daddy comes home from the wars.
ought to do him proper honor.
When Mr.. Churchill travels, he
works. He works harder than at
No. 10 Downing street. There are
nQ telephones and no calls. He
works a good Is hours a day and
keeps a squad of help on the jump.
Daughter Seen Often.
His daughter Mary, as you saw
by the papers, came with him on
this trip. She wore the uniform of
the ATS, the Auxiliary Territorial
Service for women. Like every other
woman in England, she has a Job.
1t Is real one. She Is most at.
tractive young lady with a great
deal of her famous fathers famous
personality. She was often in evi-
dence during that trip to North.
America. So was Mrs. Churchill, Il
very handsome, dignified woman in
her own right.
After all. 1t was just trip and
whether it was by sea or air doesn't
really matter. 1t was just another
trip for the famous commuter and
looking back on 1t. the only thing
which kept 1t from being strictly
routine was little George Blue, jr.,
shouting Daddy" at the Prime
Minister and thereby breaking the
deep. cathedral-like silence of the
occasion of the first appearance OF
that great man on this most recent
of his many Journeys.

convoy entering the Mediterranean
past Gibraltar Friday evening and
sank two destroyers and four loaded
merchant ships and damaged 26
other vessels.
The claim, which was not con-
firmed by any Allied source, was
attended by the admission that
seven OF the attacking torpedo
bombers were lost. The communi-
que was recorded from a Berlin
broadcast by the Associated Press.
I'm bold attacks our crews scored
torpedo hits on 80 units the COM

the Mediterranean.
The Rome-broadcast Italian COM
munique said that Italian torpedo
planes operating over the Gulf OF
Palermo had exploded 10,000-ton

A later Berlin broadcast declared
325 American and British ships,
totaling 100000 tons, had been sunk
