X-DAY PLANS OF WAR PRODUCTION BOARD
 FOR REC0NVERSION

War Production boards X-day plans were disclosed last week by Acting Chairman J. A. Krug in a statement before the Senate War Investigating committee. After Germany's collapse, industry will be allowed a free hand where markets, men. materials and plants are avail able. and no programming of civil ian production will be necessary.
 WIPES job will be to maintain production schedules needed by the armed forces and to adopt policies which will generate maximum re- conversion and reemployment To accomplish this CD all limitation and materials conservation orders that can possibly be removed will be stricken from the books, and CD military programs will be given an overriding priority rating.
 Calculations suggest CD that from 100000 to 5,0OO,O00 persons will be released from direct and in direct war work within a year after X-Day, and C2) that large quanti- ties of steel, copper, and other ma terials will become available - enough to raise civilian production to 1889 levels. Where there are plenty of materials, there is no ex- cuse for government controls over their distribution Detailed plan ming of reconyersion is to be en- trusted to the individual corpora uion, the individual businessman, and the individual worker. WIPE will be on deck to deal with any hot boxes that may develop.

DEWEY. WIFE SHAKEN
 WHEN TRAINS CRASH
lBY Assoeiated Pressl

Governor Thomas B. Dewey's special train plowed into the rear of a regular Great Northern pas senger train a mile north of Castle Rock, Washington, on Tuesday. in- turing several persons and severely shaking up the governor and Mrs Dewey.
 The l3-car special train. travel ing nearly four hours late out of Seattle, ran into the back end of the regular passenger train that stopped at the scene of a collision between 1.-Two freight trains which crashed Monday night
 Paul Lockwood, secretary to the governor, said Dewey was shaken severely"
 The jolt threw reporters in an adjacent press car to the floor in- turing some of them slightly.
 Dewey's train was going about 55 miles an hour, said E. A. Wells. the engineer when he saw the other passenger train stop ahead on the track.

of the big and little nations in set tling the worlds major problems?
 CD Who will give the word when our army or navy or air force is called upon to settle some dispute or put down some dictator?
 With no specific plan to go on. it's impossible now to probe all the notifications which arise out of these two questions or even predict what the political alignment will be.
 However, there's no doubt here that these will be the two principal bones of contention. Republican Nominee Thomas B. Dewey tossed down the glove when he came out against 'big power" world politics and demanded that the little na- tions be given equal rights in the postwar setup. Secretary of State Hull threw the glove right back when he declared the foreign policy of President Roosevelt had always been recognition Of the rights of the little nations.
 
 There doesnt seem to be much party division of opinion there. but it's in the making. That debate that broke out in the senate the other day when Foreign Relations Com mittee Chairman Sen. Tom Connal- ly said flatly that France. having made "a sorry spectacle of herself" should serve an apprenticeship be fore she is admitted to equal sta tus with the Big Four" in any postwar council, is an indication of what's to come. Where is the line to be drawn? How will the British Commonwealth rate in this new League of Nations? What vote will the council of smaller nations have in declaring that military sanctions are to be invoked against a recalci- trant or aggressive country?
 The second question is more do- nestle matter, but may even cause greater debate before the senate finally votes on whether and how We will become a party to this in ternational league for permanent peace.
 Under the constitution the Presi- dent has the right to order our troops about at any time when our national security or the security of our nationals is threatened. It has been done many times, in China, in Nicaragua, in Mexico. Unde- clared wars" aren't unknown to the United States, but it does rest with Congress to declare war.
 
 In this new setup, is the execu- tive branch of the government going to be given the sole right to send our troops into battle to set tie some dispute in far off lands, merely because the Big Four" or five or six, or whatever it will be, has voted that such action should be taken?
 These are questions that will be fought out on the senate floor. Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, of Michi- gan, and others have served notice, that they feel all such questions

ON TBIE WASHINGTON FRONT
By Jack stinnett

WASHINGTON i've been talk ing to the British and the War de partment. It's about one of those little things that seem inconsequen- tial in the wars larger affairs; but one which sometimes sandpapers the raw tempers of Allies at war against a common enemy
 It's about the miXup in com- mands in the European theater Ae- tualIy there never was and proba- bly, won't be any such mixup. On the surface there appeared ito be.
 The actual facts are these: Gen. Dwight D. Ike" Eisenhower was placed in supreme command of the western invasion forces. It was agreed then that Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery should be comman- der of the Allied ground forces Cthat is, over all field commander until such time as the numerical strength of the American forces should become greater than those of the British commonwealth.'
 
 Through some error, the conIlh- gent stipulation just quoted wasn't made public at the time the order of command was announced. Con seauently, when it was announced that It. Gen. Omar N. Bradley had been elevated to co-equal command with Gen. Montgomery, the British felt that their beloved Monty had been kicked in the teeth, especially since the English and Canadian troops had been tied down Tor weeks in the brutal corner at Caen, while the Tanks were making hay and headlines by roaming all over France and even into Germany.
 Further confusion resulted when It. Gen. George $. Patton, Jr., was given practically all the credit for the break-through at AVranche, maneuver planned and carried out under orders of Gen. Bradley.
 The situation is clearing now and wouldn't have been serious at all if it hadn't been that England's great est hero of this war had seemed to have been sighted and an over emphasis given to the exploits of Pistol Packing" Patton, to the ex- clusion of his senior officer, whose strategy he was merely carrying out, although brilliantly.
 There isn't much doubt here that Montgomery new title of field marshal was given principally toI aIlay any fears that he had been denoted. As a matter of fact, Field Marshal Montgomery now techni- cally outranks Eisenhower for wei have no similar rank. But don't letI that worry you. like" still is the boss man on the continent and will continue to be.
 
 In spite of the great silence pour ing out of Dumbarton Oaks, where bIueprints for world peace are being sketched, two main issues which our Senate is going to debate when the plan finally comes to it for consideration are becoming clear:
