. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

proximately 100000 new tools
will have been built for war
industries. About 100000 OF
these have been built for private
industry, leaving 100000 gov
eminent owned.
The 100000 privately owned
tools are no particular worry.
They're going to be put to use,
replacing older and less efficient
tools, for in the competition for
postwar markets, with higher
labor production costs, manu-
facturers with the most efficient
tools will have the advantage.
Concerning the 100000 gov
ernment-owned tools, estimates
vary. From 5 per cent to per-
haps 20 per cent, or approxi-
mately from $4,000 to 100000,
are special purpose tools for
war industries and manufacture
of munitions. These tools offer
no postwar competition to civil
ian industry.
How many government war
plants the Army and Navy will
want to keep in Standby"
condition, ready for any possible
emergency resumption of hostil-
tiles, is an unknown factor. One
thing that is counted on is the
desire of Army and Navy to
retool all their Navy yards and
arsenals, replacing older ma
chinery with newer and more
efficient models which they al
ready own. Estimates of the
number of new tools that will
go "in grease for stand by
plants and to retool government
shops range from 10000 to $780,
900 units.
Postwar domestic demand is
another indeterminate market,
but it is pointed out that many
old machine tools have been

First industry 10 be modified
for war was the machine tool
industry and, conversely, II is
the first TO be demobilized. The
tendency has been to sing the
blurs over the industry's future,
on the broad assumption that
during the war il has produced
enough machine tools TO last for
the next 10 or Is years and has
so manufactured itself out of a
job.
This line of reasoning has been
followed frequently in dicker-
ing with Army and Navy price
adjustment boards on renegotia-
ton of excess profits. Individual
machine toolmakers argue that
since they have already supplied
their postwar market for a dec
AIDE or more, they should be
allowed greater profit margins
TO build up postwar reserves.
BY and large, this argument has
fallen on deaf ears in Washing
ton.
Also, new note of optimism
is beginning to be heard, like
the first robin OF spring on the
grass plots around the offices
of the machine tool builders.
Pencils have been sharpened to
record those notes and the result
is something of a song that may
be there aren't 10 years of con-
tinous winter ahead. And since
the prosperity Of the machine
tool industry is basic to general
American well-being, it's worth
listening to.
At the end Of 1899, l.. S. in
dustry had about million ma
chine tools in operation. Sixty
per cent of these tools are over
10 years old and could stand
replacement. AS Of today, APP

A hairdreSSer with a bottle OF
water is conveying Veronica
Lake on the set these days TO
keep her famous hair from hid
ing both her eyes.
It's like this: The. most FAM
Gus head Of hair in the world is
being worn long and loose
again. It's not supposed to hide
either of her eyes. But now that
it's down, and longer than ever,
it flies around. In fact, it's all
over the place-and Veronica S
face.
The cameraman looked into
his camera the first day on the
set Of Bring On the Girls and
Veronica's whole face, includ-
ing both eyes, were hidden by
her hair.
The hairdressing department
thought some goo would do the
trick, but Veronica said no. She
wanted it to look soft. So finally
they gave the hairdresser a bot
tie of water and ordered her 10
wet down Veronica before ev-
cry scene.
But the lights are so hot the
'. alter doesn't last long. It's just
one wet-down after another.
GREW FAMOUS FAST
Veronica's hair, you may re-
call, grew famous more rapidly
than it grew naturally until it
got TO a point where the WPB
asked her to do it up to help
keep her famed style off the
heads of women in war plants.
Veronica did-for two pic
lures. Now it's down again be-
cause she's playing a cigaret
girl in her new finland ev-
eryone knows cigaret girls new
er get messed up with machin-
cry.
Now maybe you're tired of
reading about Veronica Lake ;
hair. We're weary of writing
about it. And told Veronica so
between wettings.
I'm tired Of reading about it,
too" Veronica yawned.

she said, the way she had been

kidded. Gags like: Il opened a
closet door and Veronica Lake
fell in my arms-then l discov-
cred it was only floor mop"
High point in the career Of
Veronica Lakes hair, l guess,
was when she discovered it was
worth nearly three billion dol
lars On a1War.Bond tour, she
sold a lock of 10 strands for
$4,000. The normal head has
100000 strands 1--WE looked it
up in a book, so simple arith-
metic gets a total value of ST.
790,000,000 for that hair.
SHE EVEN WASTED SOME
During the four years she's
spent in pictures, Veronica has
shipped off 48 inches to keep it
enough over-production to stuff
the proper length. This is
a pillow.
Join this hair in a single
strand and you have 100000
inches, or 100000 feet or more
than $50 miles. This, of course,
is enough to fly 800 kites out of
sight, 60 Is times around the
entire Paramount studio, tie. up
all her Christmas packages for
18 years or make rope strong
enough to hang Hitler and his
gang-or drive Hollywood col

That's why this is positively
the last column about Veron-
icas hair
Mrs. J. just found three
strands of Veronica's hair on
the suit we wore TO the studio
today. Mrs. j. was kinda mad
about these blonde hairs until
we told her they were from
Veronica's head and were worth
about 55,000.)

worked during the war far be-
You'd normal life. Also, these
tools have been worked on a
two or three-shift basis. Getting
all American industry back to
a one-shift basis and replacing
obsolete tools might dispose of
100000. A minor market to be
developed is retooling of the
lbs, 900 machine shops in tech
nical and vocational schools,
which might take 5000 to TO-
600 of the newer model, simpler
machine tools.
EXPORT, THE UNKNOWN
QUANTITY
There remains the export mar
ket as the greatest imponderable
Of all. Soviet Russia has shown
a great liking for American
machinery and has her entire
western industrial plant to re-
build. How many machines it
will take to retool bombed fac
tories in Germany, France and
Italy is anybody's guess. How
much Of an industrial nation
China, Australia, India or any
of the Latin American repub-
lies will become is pure specu-
lation.
For all these markets, the y.
S. will of course be competing
with Great Britain. But from
the above point of view the ma
chine tool glut does not look
hopeless, and it further outlines
an opportunity for the postwar
employment of many getting

whom there is no superior.

But in two months time, the House Ways and Means

Probably the job could have been done

not been changed. Many inequities remain But if
the pill is still bitter the sueor-cootine is thicker At
least the privilege Of doing it the cosy way is now
extended to persons making up to $4,000 year.
And the suggested exemption sch e ule Of
