Big Postwar Output
Must Be Absorbed,
Bou|ware Warns
By the Associated Press.

.
EVANSTON, ILL.,, Aug. Ill. r.
Boulware, operations vice chairman
81 the War Production Board, ex-
pressed the belief today that the
Nation must absorb an output Of
peacetime goods two thirds to three
fourthS above the 1035-30 average
IF all the people who want employ
ment are to have it after the war"
Private enterprise has obviously
never been so challenged as 1t Is In
connection with its part in this Job, 4"
Mr.. Boulware said in an address
prepared for delivery before the Ma
tional Institute of Commercial and
Trade Organization Executives at
Northwestern University.
ReconversioD to a peacetime econ
omy. he said, must not be viewed
in any sense as a process of return
ing TO the state OF things which
existed before the war"
Referring to the gigantic war pro-
duction output attained since the
defense program was launched, Mr..
Boulware said we have inescapably
set new goals for ourselves in the
postwar attainment Of q standard
OF living and sense of well-being
not previously regarded possible"
He warned that reconversion must
not be authorized in any instance
where 1t will interfere with the war
ef1ert. but said that the Nation
nevertheless is obligated ito exhaust
the possibilities of any reconversion
that reductions in military programs
or that increase in efficiency or
capacity" will permit.
Declaring that "a lot of people
are good and scared" about the con-
sequences Of reconversion, Mr.. Boul-
ware said there certainly are no
grounds for doubling our capacity
to do the lob"

WILL GET
 BISHOP ROWE MEMORIAL

Fairbanks probably will get the Bishop Rowe Memorial, Bishop Bentley told the Wrangen Cham Der of Commerce at it's luncheon meeting yesterday. Paying compli- ment to Wrangell for it's able effort in making an offer to establish the memorial here. Bishop Bentley said that in as much as Fairbanks is more centrally located to the work of the Episcopal missions in the north, it had virtually been decided to build the memorial there. It will be in the form of an office and res idence for the Bishop, and will in- clude accommodations for staff members travelling to and from the various outposts and generally serve as the headquarters of the Episcopal church in Alaska he explained.
 Also a guest of the Chamber yes terday was Mrs. M. o. Johnson, now on OPA war work in Juneau, who was home for a brief visit. The able pioneer Wrangell woman. contrary to most office holders. hoped for an end of hers. She expected it would end with the war. and that, she hoped, would be soon.
