HOW NOT TO KEEP
UP THE WAR EFFORT

The War Production Board now comes
forth with the statement that as we open
aggressive warfare in big way on many
fronts, drop in our production indicates
a spirit of overconfidence and that pro-
gram is being launched to stimulate
everybody to greater production.
There are several things about this an
nouncement that we don't like.
In the first place, it doesn't sound true.
Not that it might not actually be true. but
no figures are quoted, no information
given, and the whole thing is open to
suspicion that it's Just a bit of propa-
ganda.
A salesman may have the best product
in the world, but if he cOnVinceS no one
and sells no prOCl cts, the merchandise
might Just as we'll be of inferior grade.
We think this charge that blanket of
complacency has settled over the land,
that we think the war is won, falls into
this exact class.
AS a matter of fact we think its bunk,
and will continue to discredit the asser
tion until some supporting information is
given out.
Charles Z. Wilson. executive vice
chairman of the WPB who seems to be
spearheading this asserted drive to sus-
tain production, makes the bald-faced
mistake so common to the bureaucrats.
He announces conclusions as final,
without giving the sustaining evidence;
he assumes the public is ignorant and
only the Big Heads are capable of draw
ing conclusions; and he forgets that
America is in the habit of arriving at its
own answers and needs no school teachers
or national socialist bureaucrats or big
industry wise-boys nor anybody else to
tell US what we should and should not do,
without the supporting information.
Where, Mr.. Wilson, are the people who
are Stacking off on the job?

OPA AND RED TAPE
Nevada State Journal


Fed up on red tape and the inter
ference of slide rule theorists with no
business experience Lou r. MaXon, ad-
vertisng executive, has resigned as chlef
information officer of the OPA.
Maxon. no doubt, wanted to run the
show and Price Administrator Prentiss
Brown could not see it that way, which
was natural. But there's more than an
ounce of common sense in MaXon's
charges that the Washington office OF
OPA is full of red tape, confusion, inde-
cision and the presence of theorists IN
policy making positions.
He might have gone step further and
pointed out that the young lawyers ana
the young economists who were wished on
Administrator Brown get their orders
from. or at least direct their efforts to-
ward pleasing the small group of presl-
dental advisors who are also theorists
without even slide rule experience.
Maxon asserted in presenting his letter
of resignation that OPA must not fall or
prices will skyrocket and initiation Will
take over. He pointed out that common
horse sense should be injected into the
agency by its reorganization and that the
whole method of operation should be
simplified.
The same statement was made by Her
bert Hoover in gentler language and time
and again members of congress have
urged simplication by basing price con-
trolls on a few basic products.
The OPA office in Nevada reported
yesterday that many Nevada restaurants
are face to face with drastic curtailment
of their meat allotment. In most in
stances the restaurants have been serving
more meals than they did in December
1912. the month used as base for allot
ments, largely because of increased trade
due to war conditions. No doubt some of
the restaurant owners paid no attention
to the rules or attempted to evade them
but most of them were caught in jam
caused by the failure of OPA to take into
consideration actual conditions in setting
quotas.
There's practical side to price control
and rationng but the force of men sur
rounding Price Administrator Brown
seem to th:..S they can supplant practical
views with theories and by surrounding
their rules and regulations with red tape
convince the people that water will run
up hill of its own free will If there are
enough rules promulgated.
Maxons resignation will not wreck the
OPA but it can help to effect a badly
needed reorganization.

these same powers to the head of

dent now creates an entirely new
agency, transferring to 1t the con-
troversial matters; but without fir

More confusion. .s.,A ,.
1t is not that there are not enough
employees in Washington already.
Even the President has 9O6 en-
ployes on his White House staff,

NOT ENOUGHT HOUSES

Indications are that so new dwellings
will be built in or about Ell Centro to help
meet the serious housing situation which
confronts this community.
Bright as may be this forecast, it is far
from bright enough because there is every
doubt that this will solve the desperate
condition which faces this community
The danger lies both in the elements of
time and size.
In Ell Centre there is hardly a tenahle
house available to new arrivals, cir
cumstance doubly serious because this is
the midsummer period when normally
there are the largest numbers of vacan-
cies. Many new and permanent workers,
brought in to fill vacancies created by
migration TO coastal defense points, are
unable to find homes and in danger of
either moving back whence they came or
by-passing the thirsting jobs here to go on
elsewhere.
As result, there is ground for doubt
whether the new dwellings will come in
time to avert a serious labor situation.
And dependent upon what Nlrther con-
struction work will be carried on and the
accompanying workers and their families
who must be accommodated, and also de-
pendent upon the troops in this general
area and the families that will follow
them, is the question of whether there will
be ample numbers of homes available to
house the visiting military families, the
worker families, and the permanent resi-
dents who do not and cannot buy houses
but are forced to rent Far too many of
the latter may be left on the outside look
ing in, to the serious detriment of the
community.

FOR PROVOKERS
OF RACE HATE
Milwaukee Journal.

An arbitrator has ordered the dis
mssa of three employees of Brooklyn
plant who fomented strike in protest
against the employment of Negroes. The
arbitrator, chosen by the company and
the union, has recommended to the union
that the membership of the men also be
revoked.
No true American worker said the
arbitrator in his order, ''would ever de-
prive a fellow worker of his job and his
right to earn a living because of race,
creed or color A Negro has the same
God-givan right to live and to work as a
white man. To deprive him of work be-
cause his color is un-American-lt Is
unfair and indecent"
This is a clear-cut decision with no
minced words. Those who weaken our
nation by provoking race hatred should be
punished. Give us more arbiters with
backbone.

Withou. much fanfare the bot
tleneck breakers have, in recent
months. been doing a large-sized
Job of reConverSiOn of American in
dustry engaged in war production.
It isn't the reconverSiOn of industry
from the production of war mater
iais to production of civilian con-
sumer goods which some dealers
and manufacturers have been agi-
tating. That's still not in the cards
for a while. This other recon-
version involves the shifting of con-
tracts from one plant to another to
increase production, the stepping up
of subcontracting, the utilization of
every idle tool and every idle plant
! and along with it. definite halt in
the construction Of new factories and
and manufacturing facilities unless
it can be proved that sr,ch new
manufacturing is absolutely neces-
! sary. All these moves emphasize
/ the fact that war production is now
! limited to supplying the most criti-
cal war materials, but they do not
indicate that any let-doWn in war
/ production is impending.
! Spark plug for this shifting
about of war production has been
+ staff of 25 engineers in the
Facilities Bureau of WP8. They
do most of the research and
spade work, though the actual
shifting of contracts is made by
iS
sion and other procurement agen-
cies. Scope of the work can be
| indicated bv a few of the intri-
cate industrial plays these bottle
neck boys in the backlog break
! ing DEPARTMENTS of WPB have
been up to, through reschcduling
of contracts.
IDLE TOOLS FOUND
When the Navy had a new job for
heavy boring mills, the search for
idle tools disclosed II of the type
needed in Rochester, IA in Cleve-
land. six in Warren, o., and four
in New Hampshire. Instead OF.
! letting a contract to manufacture
| 35 new mills. the Job was split up
so that the 35 idle tools could be
put to work.
A vacuum cleaner company which
! had a contract for making $500
plane turret motors, was turning
them out at the rate of 1900 a
month. Examination Of the plant
facilities disclosed. however, that
this company could make 10000 a
month. So contracts we're taken
away from other firms making the
same motor, and these other plants
were put to work on other work for
which they were better suited.
Sometimes it is discovered that
there are things needed worse
than big guns. Mesta Machine
Works at Pittsburgh, for instance,
had a contract for l6inch naval
guns deferred so that it could get
onto making six aluminium eX-
trusion presses for a mill that
