minent as Uncle Sam and his United Nations
partners move on toward Berlin and Toyko.

able to devote spindles to heavier types of
underwear yarns when relieved of the necessi-
ty OF making hard twist yarns
Those furnishing yarn for twills utilized
in manufacture of army and navy uniforms
believe the long civilian need for this type of
fabric will permit them, as soon as war con-
tracts are terminated to devote their entire
spinning capacity for some time to civilian
production Of twill for civilian clothing.
