GRAVE PROBLEMS
cit IL clear that only under
the leadership OF private bust
ness enterprise will there be any
permanent solution 10 the grave
unemployment problems which
threaten sections like the Pa
cific Northwest, hut II does not
take much analysis 10 see that
private business in itself can
take up hut n small part of the
surplus labor during the IL
months Immediately following
the cessation of hostilities.
with the exception of peace
time concerns which are ever
ready To reconvert from war TO
previous pcacetime operations,
business concerns cannot plan
ahead with sufficient definite
ness. The unknown factors are
too great--the duration of the
war, government restrictions.

finally, the financial condition
of the concerns themselves"
CREATE CERTAINTY
II should be pointed out
parenthetically that at the
behest of the administration,
Bernard NJ. Baruch and his as
sociates are seeking TO create
certainty instead of uncertainty

tract TERMINATION and The tran

peacetime economy. Function
ing al the invitation of public
officials, Mr. Baruch in a patri-
otto spirit, is actuated by a
desire 10 preserve American
political and economic inStitu-
. tons, and, if his program is
followed, il will have a crucial
bearing on postwar business
trends.
Mr.. Ehrlichman and his group
believe AS practical matter
that there will be resort 10
public works as means of
creating Jobs during the transit
tional period, and he thinks
businessmen should guide the
program in order 10 get value

cit seems necessary" he con-
tends. "that local postwar
planners take a most practical

SURPLUS MANPOWER
Whatever part Of surplus
manpower can he constructively
used during the year following
the war. the shock Of unemploy-

to that extent st least. Fur
thermore, properly conceived
public works may in themselves
provide the incentive and a
sound business basis for the
construction Of new buildings
and factories by private con-

I'm my opinion, II Is ex-
tremely important that the
businessmen Of this country

may expect large scale govern

 APPOINTED TODAY
New Haven Lawyer Be. comes Administrator of
 Porter Estate

Attorney Charles Lyman of New Haven today was officially named administrator of the estate of the late David Porter, following the fil- ing of bond in the probate court.

 The Waterbury Trust Company, trustee of the estate valued at about $200, 900, will submit its final account shortly, and the administrator then will distribute the assets to the heirs in accordance with orders from the court.
 Recent attempts of the City of Waterbury to obtain use of the es- tate for establishment of Q state trade school here were unsuccessful Both the superior court and the Su. preme Court of Errors ruled that c trade school did not approximate the type of educational institution for which the trust fund was set up. The courts found that the trust fund was set up. The courts found that the trust fund failed, thereby making way for distribution of the fund to the heirs.

So he went mine detecting the quickest, surest-and most dan- gerouS-way. He drove his jeep back and forth across the giant field.
 The Germans themselves desper- ately short of gasoline had spent their last hurried hours on the field by salvaging gas, not by wreoSing runways. The American bombers' pasting of the hangars and shops during the past winter had obvious ly put the field out of commission for several months, for its earth runwayS were indistinguishable from the rest of the big sandy field all of which was grown over with a scraggly cover of tall parched grass and white yarrow,
