WAR PRODUCTION
CRITICAL SAYS
WINTON

Helena, November 29-The amazing
success of our Armed Forces in Europe
and in the Far East is producing an ex-
ceedingly critical letdown in war pro
d%uction, said David j. Winton, Regional
Director of the War Production Board.
The big push now on against the West
Front is entirely dependent upon the
flow of materials to those armies. we
must manufacture war materials today
that they will be using in a month from
today said Mr.. Winton.
L quote from a cablegram from Cen
eral Eisenhower which lays the problem
flat on the table, you tell us what you
can deliver and well tell you when the
war will end"
Our most critical production problems
in the Northwest are heavy shells and
propellant powder and all of these pro-
grams are badly tagging because men are
drifting away from these important jobs
back to civilian jobs. We must keep our
hand to the pillow Of wal production. We
are still far from the end Of the furrow.
Il want to present one definite illustra-
ton" said Mr.. Winton. Gopher ord
nance Powder Plant at Rosemount
should be in production by January IS,
but at the present rate Of construction,
it will not be in production before May
IS. The construction schedule is tagging
because Of the immediate need for 400
pipe filters who must set some 40 miles
Of pipe before the plant can be in pro-
auction. We need these pipe filters to-
day.
The pipe filters for Gopher Ordnance
carries highest manpower priority in the
United States and any qualified pipe
filters in the Northwest should contact
their nearest U. S. Employment Office
Immediately, said Mr.. Winton.

EXTENSION OF
SECURITY

NEW ORLEANS (FP)-A program for
legislative action both in congress and
the AZ legislatures meeting this year to
advance social security and unemploy-
ment insurance was laid before the AFL
convention here Nov. % by Chairman A..
j. Altmeyer of the Social Security Board.
Altmeyer called for the uniting of
social security and unemployment insur-
ance into one system covering all work
ers. In addition to this broad goal he
asked that the "A legislatures make job
less insurance applicable to all workers,
raise maximum benefits to at least sos
weekly for 26 weeks and eliminate re-
strictive qualifications and other OBJ
stacles that now bar many wage earners.
Many of the Altmeyer proposals are
covered in resolutions pending before the
convention.

WLB Hats Plan to Chisel
On Working Time

WASHINGTON-(FP)-A slick plan of
a Dallas petroleum company to chisel its
truck drivers out Of overtime pay al
though extending their work-week to
go hours was smashed by the National
War Labor Board November 6
The Hunt Oil Company and Associated
Interests applied for the WLB's approval
Of the plan to stop paying time and a
half after 40 hours. The company con-
tended that its trucking employees agreed
to the idea in order to win greater take
home pay despite the cut in hourly
earnings.
In its refusal to agree to the wage cut,
the wLB said the plan would result in
a reduction of the present hourly earn
ings and is not %approvable under the
wage sterilization program.

FATS FOR
AMMUNITION

Indignation was expressed in union
headquarters recently over the obvious
indifference of some of the big stores,
especially butcher shops, in refusing to
accept the collection of fats brought to
these places by school children and by
adults.
The sentiment was expressed that If
merchants are going to show such a lack
of patriotism, it will III a very serious
vane Of enthusiasm in assisting the
Government in this particular endeavor'
The radio and newspapers are con-
stantly %harranging the people to collect
fats and describing the urgent need OF
this particular element for ammunition.
Perhaps it is a little inconvenient for
the shops TO give points and pay the
nominal price allowed, yet it would seem
that these merchants should make this
small sacrifice, not only to assist the
children and encourage them, but also to
assist in a vital part of the war effort.
