States, where neither disease is
prevalent, the powder will be eff

troubles spread by flies and some
other household insects. Penicil-

What happens in l945 hinges on
one big If and a WHEN.
II Germany surrenders early in
the year, changes will sweep
across the nation, affecting wir-
tually all fields Of activity. Here
is how new year prospects look
now: Aa sf
WAR; The immediate outlook is
fairly grim. The Hitlerian wal
should end In 1916. but that won't
bring peace. It will release q
flood Of poiitieo-social upheavals
some bloody-which will sweep
all Europe. There will be roper
cussions IN Asia and in the west
ern hemisphere.
War with Japan will reach its
peak, but IL will be q miracle II
the Allies achieve victory short
Of 1916 China will hit rock bot
tom. broken materially though not
spiritually, and dependent on the
Allies 10 rescue her. Russia will
assume her new title of dominant
power of Europe asd Asia alike.
INDUSTRY, Prolonging of wal
in Germany past 1914 and the
prospect of a longer Pacific cam
paign have dimmed industry's
hopes for expanded civilian goods
production in 1845.
Reconversion timing has been
upset. II Is now estimated 1t will
be at least six months after We
day before hard goods"-refrig-
orators, vacuum cleaners, etc
will be available generally Even
then there won't be enough to
supply all immediate needs.
A few new passenger cars may
appear In the second half of the
year. They will be slightly altered
1912 types. with changes con-
fined largely to trimmings, radi-
ator grilles and fender lines. Lat
er, after the first postwar models
there will be many changes in
power plants, transmissions, and
mechanical designing generally.
Price increases are apparently in
evitable-estimates range from
ten to 40 per cent over pre-war
levels.
Scarcities will persist through
out the year. Textiles may come
into greater supply three months
after We. Fuel rationing is like
ly to continue until wal with ia
pan is ended. There probably will
be not letup on strained u. S.
transportation systems.
LABoR: Organized labor will
have big problems after Ger
many is defeated. Membership
may nose-dive as war production
cuts down. The CLIO, built on
war-boomed industrial organiza-
ton, fears this and is planning
for II.
Despite ALL overtures, a CO.
AFL union appears remote. But
the AFL still hopes to get back
