that C. o. p. again will field a

Looking Ahead

We have not reached the period for
massive civilian production, but we are
thinking lot about the So-called recon
version" of our great manufacturing
plants. One giant corporation estimates
that it will cost it 500 million dollars to
change over from war production to the
manufacture of automobiles. The same
difficulties are faced by thousands of cor
porations in every part Of the country.
That is why the topics of conversation
concern government ownership, control,
regulation" etc.
Perhaps this talk is not as dangerous
as it sounds; nevertheless, it Is tied in with
such related questions as essential Jobs for
returning soldiers, reconstruction, and
preserving the American way of life. One
prominent administration official has
warned the public not TO be too opti-
mistic about the early production of civil
ian goods. Nevertheless, the War Pro-
duction Board has let 1t be known that it
favorS more production Of civilian articles,
without interfering with the war pro-
duction.
There Is every indication that the bat
tie on the Home Front after the end of
the war will not be an easy one. Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts recently observed
that with giant strides, we have made
up the lead which the Germans and the
Japanese had made in ten years of war
planning" and he spoke proudly of the
fact that the situation with reference to
our basic raw materials was well in hand
AS matter of fact aluminium, magnesi-
UNI, copper, alloy, steel, and other basic
metals which were problem to us year
ago, are no longer troublesome except in
a few processed forms.
We are beginning to find changes made
in contracts, and some outright cancel
lations The forms of these contract
examinations and changes are important,
as they are the first steps toward the
economy of peace. Senate and House
Committees and the War and Navy De-
partments, and Administration chiefs
Bernard Baruch and Justice Byrnes have
nut their shoulders to the wheel in eff
forts to jointly evolve uniform practices.
The blueprints are being made. Mean
while the total military demands for
materials in 1914 are figured higher than
in 1913.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-01-14

President RooSevelt'S plan for net
work of super highways in the postwar
period should solve in part the back-to-a-
job problem. The $4,000 miles of high
ways across the country would employ
about two million men. The present SyS-
tenn of highways which seemed phenom-
email in the postwar period during the
twentieS was adequate in those days but
with progress since that time more and
more and better and better roads are
needed to handle the additional travel.
We all recall the constant upheaval as
new roads were dug out, hewn through
rocky country and impossible land. The
finished roads, striking and startling en-
cheering featS, were and still are the
pride Of the land. Super highways, long
boulevards, many-laned roads, level and
elevated came into use between 1920 and
the present time CroSS-country high
ways highways running south from New
York City, and middle-state highways
became Just matter of course to the
motoriSt.
We look forward to the day when even
more startling engineering featS will be
accomplished in the building of the thous-
ands of miles planned Better still arc
the Job opportunities it will create. 1t will
be q Joint Federal-State project with
modern highways. 1t is devised to in
Guide rural highways and connect over
ave hundred cities of 10000 or more pop
ulation. The peace roads plan as recon-
mended presents an attractive picture
and project of great Importance for the
postwar years.

Riveru Of oiI-FrOm Where?

Everyone has had the fact impressed
upon them that rivers of oil are needed
TO keep our fighting machine running.
But beyond general estimates in millions
of barrels, figures are seldom published
showing Just how the oil is consumed. A
heavy bomber uses 200 gallons Of gaso-
line an hour at cruising speed, a lighting
plane 100 gallons The tanks alone in
one armored division burn 10000 gallons
in an advance of little more than 100
miles, while thousands of gallons are also
consumed by trucks, Self-propelled guns,
armored cars, and other wheeled units.
A single destroyer on convoy duty burns
something like 214 thousands gallons of
fuel oil on single round trip to North
Africa.
Producing and refining petroleum, both
for ourselves and our allies, Is the reSpons-
Utility of the American oil industry. No
other nation is as well equipped to do the
job as we are. That our petrolemum in
duStry has been able to measure up to
the load imposed on it, is directly trace
able to the fact that it was developed and
has been maintained by private individ-
ualS working under the persistent Stim-
ulant of competition.
The nation is now being told repeated
ly by various public authorities that the
oil shortage is going to get far, far worse
before it gets better. These warnings
are nothing new to oil men any more
than they are to the public. Oil men
themselves warn that a serious shortage
is impending and point out that the main
cause is an inadequate price for crude.
Gloomy announcements from Washing
ton on oil and gas rationing are getting
tiresome. What the public and the oil
industry want to know is what plans, If
any, are in the making to find and pro-
duce more OIL So far the regulators
have been silent on this point.

william Nissan Vanderbilt's for
tune came principally from the
spectacular development OF Amer
lean transportation, in which his
great-grandfather. Commodore Cor

New York Central Railroad. was q
dominant figure. And all his life
transportation was subject which
absorbed his high spirits and his
keen imagination. Railroads, auto
mobiles, yachts, airplanes-he knew
q great deal about them all at first

him. Around 1900 he was startling
people with his noisy White Devil
automobile. Later he put Up the
Vanderbilt Cup, for which the best
racing drivers Of the day competed.
This generation knew Mr.. Wander

Of several splendid yachts, notably
the 264-foot Ara, which he pre-
sented TO the Navy and which was
sunk, probably by q German tor
pedo, of the Carolina coast.

Representative Luce's Loss

The tragic events of life today are
overshadowed by horrendous war TRACE
dies that are too numerous to fit in the
limited columns OF newspaper. News
of all kinds is so discouraging that every
day occurrences soon become just mat
ter of fact. However, there are private
griefS. Each one has his and her own.
This week Representative Clare Boothe
Luce from Connecticut lost her only
daughter who figured in fatal automo-
bile accident on the west coast.
Mrs. Luce, an energetic and import
ant figure in affairs political was in the
midst of speaking tour sponsored by
the National Republican Committee. She
has cancelled the remainder of the en-
gagements in the tour. The tragedy
that comes home to Mrs Luce is just
another such one or similar that comes
to all. Her grief must indeed be great
at this time. Her Connecticut friends
and followers sympathize with her in her
ineStimable loss.

WINTER DRIVING
New York Timesl

Winter brings with 1t special haz-
ards for motorists and pedestrians.
Streets and highways are treacher-
Gus. Short days add TO the dangers
which always accompany the hours
OF darkness. Traffic accidents last
winter increased the mileage death
rate in snow-belt States "a per cent
above the summer total. In studies
made of winter accidents on city
streets involving skids 1t has been
found that only one-half Of l per
cent occurred on dry pavements and
6 per cent on wet pavements, but 80
per cent on pavements co cred with
Ice or snow. On rural roadG the fig
ures were per cent. 10 per cent and
40 per cent respectively. In one State
in a single winter month last year
SO per cent of all accidents occurred
on snow or Ice covered highways.
These hazards, serious enough in
daylight are much aggravated by
darkness.
With these conditions In mind 1t
behooves pedestrians these winter
months to be especially careful not
TO cross city streets against lights
and TO cross only at crossings; in
the country. to walk against the d.
rection Of traffic; and, at night, TO
wear something white which will
give visibility at a sufficient distance
to the oncoming driver. 1t behooves
the motorist to be sure that his
brakes are equalized, that windshield
wipers and defrosters are operating
and that headlights are working. If
streets are slippery, chains should be
used. In any case. speed should be
adjusted to conditions; stops should
be made gradually and not suddenly,
and more breathing room should be
granted than is usual in following
or passing other traffic. Braking dis
tances on snow and Ice are from
four to eleven times as great as on
dry pavement. For traffic safety 1t
Is important that all equipment be
maintained at top efficiency. Most
important OF all is constant. unflag-
ging determination to drive safely
and to walk safely.
