The Axe. Will Fall

Does anybody still doubt the coming lay-offs after the Navy an- nomcement last week? O. P Robinson said the company had work through 1946, but he didn't say for how many. What does your personnel record card show? Does your boss play favorites?
 Do you need union protection for a square deal? The union will get advance notice and the lists of employees to be laid off. Who will the union fight for?
 Now is the time you need big, strong union. This union believes in give and take. What are you willing to give for the protection you want to take?

SUBMARINE BUILDING PROGRAM REDUCED


 new submarines to be built for the U. s. Navy has been announced by the Navy Department.
 The reduction will be accom- plished by not starting number of submarines which were sched- uled for completion toward the end of the building program. While some adjustments in the working forces In the six submarine build ing yards will be involved, the submarine completion schedule will be maintained at present ley- els through the next seven or eight months. Such men and women as are released over the next few months can be advantageously em- ployed on other parts of the Navy shipbuilding and repair programs and will be given opportunities for such employment.
 The reduction in the number of submarines in the building pro- gram does not mean that the overs all Navy production program is de- clining. The total Navy program will continue to increase in size at least until the first quarter of 1945. There are eight classes of Weap- OnS and supplies which the Navy urgently needs at the present time.
 Past and prospective advances in the Pacific limit the area in which Japanese shipping can operate and correspondingly limit the future hunting grounds for our subma- rines. Therefore. the number of submarines which we can proffta- bly, employ will be corresponding 1y reduced.
 Reduction in the construction program has been made possible by the brilliant record of the fleet in which the contribution of the submarine service in the Pacific and the individual achievement of each submarine and its crew have been a major factor. The success of our submarines in evading and resisting enemy attack has exceed ed early expectations. Since De- cember ', 1941, our underseas fleet has accounted for a total of more than 212 million tons of Japanese shipping sunk, over one-third of Japan's merchant fleet at the be- ginning of the war.
 Workers in the six shipyards building submarines merit the congratulations of the Navy on their energy, loyalty and patriotic effort which have given the U. s. Navy the finest submarines in the world. The six yards building sub- marines for the Navy are: The Electric Boat Company. Groton. Conn.,; Cramp Shipbuilding Com- pany, Philadelphia, Pa; Manitowoc Shipbuilding Company, Manitowoc, Wise, and the Navy Yards at Bos- ton, Portsmouth and Mare Island.
 The eight categorieS of munitions which remain particularly impor- tant in the Navy's expanding over all production program are as fol- lows:
 First, the Navy needs aircraft carriers and cruisers. The Navy is not now short of these warships. But we need every single addition al one which we can turn out this year and next. Any showdown in carrier or cruiser construction would be disastrous to the Navy war plans.
 Second. the Navy needs new types of assault ships: fast. armed cargo carriers and transports for future invasions. Here we are be- hind schedule--in some instances, months behind.
 Third, the Navy needs tankers The farther west the war moves the greater the strain on our ship ping. particularly on our tankers Our planes flying from Saipan''

The WISCONSIN PRIMARY

Inc Wisconsin eruption has re-
shuffled Americas political map
like jumbled jigsaw puzzle. The
public sorting out the pieces, has
only few guides to the new out
line. One is that Governor Dewey
looms as key piece in the Re-
publican presidential picture. A
second is that plans for getting
the Republican Party to turn
sharply away from the isolation
ist record of the Congressional
minority and take a clearcut
leadership in organizing peace
must be reshaped. A third is that
a large piece of sharp outline
Wendell Wilkie-doesn't fit COM
fortably into any hole now visi-
BILE.
The new Dewey position is in
one sense the most striking fea-
ture in this puzzle. But it may be
affected by the other two. 1t
looks as if the Governor might
have the nomination if he wants
it. 1t now appears unlikely that
those who question his views and
experience in the International
field will be able to dent the wide
popular acceptance of him. But if
Mr.. Willkie should oppose him
and take with him a large num-
Der of voters who demand first
of all a clear and stroog Ameri.
can leadership in organizing
peace, the nomination might not
be attractive enough to wean Mr..
Dewey from his Governorship.
We believe that those who are
passing around the rumor that
Mr.. WiIlkie will take vice.presi.
dental nomination from t h G
Democrats do not really under.
stand either Mr.. Willkie or the
Democrats. He has asked for new
leadership and has said things
about the present Administration
which could not easily be taken
back. But he has tried 80 har0 tt
change certain features of the
Republican Party that old-line
Republicans-as in Wisconsin,
would have none of him.
He il not the kind of figure
who meekly shuts audup disap
pears; he represents elements thai
may still prove to hold the bal
ance of power between two ma
jor parties. The Christian Sci
ence Monitor.

use OF PAPER

While there is discouraging
evidence from those who should
set a high and inspiring example
unwittingly arguing to the con-
trary. there is need of strict
economy in paper usage.
The U. S. mail. loaded with
meaningless government circu-
lars, worthless varieties of liter
ature from sundry sources and
about everything one could mag.
inc that uses up precious paper
that could better serve the war
purpose, should not contradict
the appeal.
Here are q few ways that
paper is used by our fighting
forces:
1t takes rs tons of blueprint
paper to make battleship.
100000 different kinds of items
are shipped to the Army paper
wrapped or boxed.
Each propelling charge for l55.
millimeter shell takes "a pound
of paper.
Each 50O.pound bomb takes IL
pounds of paper for rings, tops
and bottoms.
Gas-mask canisters and band
grenade containers are made of
paper.
Many essential airplane parts
are fabricated of plastic with a
paper base.
Army trucks require 20 pounds
of paper for safe delivery.
V-Mail envelopes are printed
by the Government for the armed
forces in quantities as high as
100000.
Huge amounts of paper board
are used by the Red Cross for
blood plasma containers.
Yes, indeed, paper packs war
punch. Don't waste it!

With Douglas Off To
War, Task Is Harder

Because of the absence of
Douglas Duncan, appreptice sea-
man, who is in training at Naval
Training Station at Farragut,
Idaho, the Chief force must work
longer, harder and faster, since
that is the only way of prevent
ing it from being another of the
small town business casualties of
wartime.
Douglas took a mans place in
the Chief office after the death of
his father in 194l, and worked to
within two hours of the time he
started on his way to report for
military duty.
Beginning with the issue dated
June ID, 1911 he never failed to
punch the clock" week in and
week outright up to the late af-
ternoon on Thursday when the
Chief was gotten out earlier in
order that the force could be at
Cut Bank to bid him good bye.
With tears streaming down his
cheeks. these we're his parting
words: Jack, be sure and get
the paper OUT
Under disadvantages of war
time the Chief, obviously, has it
tougher-especially with Douglas
gone.
