Maverick Advocates
Limited Resumption
Of Civilian Output
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Maury Maverick, chairman of the
Smaller War Plants Corp, yesterday
urged limited resumption of civilian
production, particularly by small
firms, instead of waiting for the de-
feat of Germany.
Mr.. Maverick, vice chairman of
the War Production Board, said in
dustry should make continuous ad-
justments" to forestall postwar un-
employment and prevent a chaotic
condition"
There is no reason in the world
why we shouldn't start making some
unmilitary items now, provided
such manufacture does not inter-
fere with our war program" Mr..
Maverick told a press conference.
Insisting there was no reason why
the American people should be de-
MED certain consumer goods in war
time, Mr.. Maverick advocated pro-
duction begin now on some 900
simple" household and general
utility items such as radio tubes,
stoves, ranges, garbage pals, metal
buckets and electric fans.
IF we campaign now to stop all
labor boarding, I believe we can
make a substantial increase in
civilian goods manufactured" he
said. I'VE should keep employment
up as high as possible"
Mr.. Maverick said SWPC's plans
for boosting the output OF civilian
goods had been opposed by some
War Department officials and by a
few large industries, which he de-
clined to identify by name.
He chided the Army for creating
psychological barrier" against re-
sumption of civilian manufacturing
Industry now has 100000 fewer
employees than last October, Mr.
Maverick said, and by the end of
the year the drop will reach 1,Ooo.-
600 workers. This decrease, he add
ed, Is largely due to increased eff
cheney in manufacturing plants.

Puerto Rico Is Near Revolt
BY the Associated Press

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Nav
4.-Gov. Rexford Guy Tugwell has
declared that Bolivar Pagan, resi-
dent commissioner for Puerto Rico
in Washington, was suffering from
"delusions" in asserting Monday that
Puerto Ricans were almost on the
verge of revolution.
"Mr. Pagan has, perhaps, lost
touch with the real Puerto Rico" 4"
Gov. Tugwell said yesterday in re-
ply. HE certainly is ignorant of the
peoples feelings and activities"
The governor described accusa-
tions of dictatorship made against
his administration by Mr.. Pagan as
irresponsible talk" whose "extrava-
gance indicated well. enough its lack
of truth"
Gov. Tugwell declared the island
government was trying to make
Puerto Rico better place in which
to live and those for whom Mr..
Pagan Stooges with such enthusiasm
are pretty violently opposed to any
change" =

thing on Mr. Winkie's record sheet.
Mr.. Wrinkle, to his horror, gath
cred that his dyspepsia had made
little impression, that it had let him
down completely.
At this, as he was passed on to the
next doctor, his heart beat so fast
that the doctor, who applied a steth-
oscope to it, took it away and actu-
ally looked at him, saying patiently,
'I expect it from the kids, but not
from you"
Mr.. Winkle was abashed. He ac-
cused himself of behaving like a
child, like Jack Pettigrewt whom he
saw standing tensely, on guard, with
a strained, taut expression on his
boys face.
And then Mr.. Winkle went through
an experience he never expected to
have.
All during the days leading up to
this, and during the first of the ex.
amining process. he hoped fervently
that he would be rejected. He had
even prayed for it. But now he
found himself hoping he would be
accepted

glad Amy didn't appear in time to
hear it. He had been watching for
her, and during the last of the six
blocks, he saw her, hurrying along
to keep up. Her face was flushed.
She waved to him, and Mr.. Wrinkle,
wondering If it was the correct thing
to do, waved back.
After they arrived at the open-air
bus station, there was a quarter. of
an hour of confusion whose details
Mr.. Winkle never remembered very
well. The selectees left their for
nation and searched out their re-
spective families. Mr.. Wrinkle found
his wife and dog. Penelope was en-

Mr.. Wrinkle had an empty feeling
He stood looking helplessly at his
family. He stared about wildly for
the Pettigrews, but couldn't see
them in the milling crowd. He
reached down and patted Penelopes S

He and Amy looked at each other
solemnly. They embraced. They
held each other very close. They
kissed, and kissed again, while the
band played, women wept, and hand
kerchiefs and flags waved.
The next thing Mr.. Wrinkle knew
was that he found himself seated in

another dozen empty seats.
He sat alone, not because he
thought himself, as the leader, any
better than the others. Nor did he
care to be aloof; he would have well
coined somebody to talk with, but
none of his charges joined him. Jack
Pettigrew sat up beside the driver.
The boy was silent, staring at the

his financial report for his lodge on
