In the last war Mrs. Richard
Sutton helped organize the Ar
lington County Chapter of the
American Red Cross, served as
its first vice chairman and later
as ch\~man and in this war
she is aNin doing a full-time
volunteer job for the same chap
ter-noW a f1ourishing one She
is chairman of the Nurses Aide
Committee for Arlington County
and she had the thrill of her life,
she says, when she recently grad
uated the first class of Nurses
Aides ever to be graduated in
Arlington County-a class of So.
To Mrs. Sutton, the Arlington
Red Cross means something very
special. She is one who helped
create it, and has watched it
grow into the important and
worthwhile chapter it has now
boone Before a community was
allowed to have it's own chapter
in the Great War, Mrs. Sutton told
us, the Red Gross required that
there be at least $50 members.
So Mrs. Sutton and a group of
her friends set out to get that
$50 membership. And do you
know how they did it? BY can
vassing from door to door! And
they got not $50 members, but
495!
There were no special corps
then, Mrs. Sutton told us. You
volunteered and you did whatever
was needed with what equipment
you had. The only uniform was
a piece of white muslin with
Red Cross sewed on the front and
you tied it around your head and
wore it with Whatever working
dress you happened to have on.
Tell us some of the things you
did" we asked Mrs. Sutton. Met
trains going and coming with
servicemen and gave them coffee
and sandwiches" she told us;
made surgical dressings by the
hundreds, spoke all over the
county raising funds for the Red
Cross, established our own small
store at Fort Myer, where we
sold refreshments-also to raise
funds-and just in general did
what we could for the men. Once
I remember" she said, "a group of
boys from way down South ar
rived at Fort Myer in the middle
OF winter. They weren't accus-
toned to those cold breezes that
swept through the tents which
were their sleeping quarters and
they were pretty miserable. A
group Of Red Cross women got
together and we got them the
WarmeSt batch of underclothes
you ever saw. ="
We could have gone on about
the last war indefinitely, but Mrs.
Sutton, being very modern lady,
wanted to talk about what the
Red Gross is doing in this war.
How lucky the women are now
to have this specialized training"
she said, land to have all the
opportunities they now have of
serving"
Mrs. Sutton is as proud as
punch of the work that the Ar
lington Chapter is doing. They
have two mobile units in the
county, a permanent blood donor
service in the Pentagon Build
ing five days a week, and now
at last a dream of hers has come
true-their own Nurses Aide
Corps.
Although she looks far too
young for it, Mrs. Sutton Is

krug Sees Huge Shift
To Civilian Production
When Germany Falls
WPB Chief Is Confident
Industry Will Solve
Reconversion Problem
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON,

Acting Chairman j. A. Krug
OF the War Production Board
said today the public will be
amazed by the speed with which
industry returns to production OF
civilian goods. He added that he
knew of a leading automobile
manufacturer who was confident
he could turn out passenger cars
three months after Germany is
defeated.
Mr.. Krug made those comments
| at a news conference at which he
discussed the WPB announcement
that virtually all wartime controls
over industry would be removed on
X-day-the day German capitu-
lates - and that manufacturers
would be free at that time to make
nearly everything they wish.
Stressing that it was the ad-
ministration's desire simply to cut
red tape, remove restrictions on in
dustry and allow manufacturers in
dependence in working out their re-
conversion problems, Mr.. Krug said ::
Our feeling here is that you
will have SO many civilian goods
after X-dhy that it will not be
necessary to do any programming
OF production. If an important civil
ian item gets cut of, we might
direct some production. but I see
no chance of that happening"
Big Cancella tions Already.
The earlier WPB announcement
predicted that military production
would be cut back about 40 per cent
at the end of the European war. The
Army already is understood to have
informed manufacturers of huge
cancellations.
Stacy May, WPB director of sta
tistics, supplemented this informa-
ton by predicting reductions in the
war program for a year after X-day.
He said that it appeared equipment
for the Army would be reduced more
than so per cent in the IL months
following Germany's surrender; all
types o(aircraft would be cut 20 per
cent; naval vessels, 20 per cent, and
something over so per cent in ships
for the Maritime Commission" Mr..
May admitted that production pro-
grams might be adjusted downward
more rapidly if the war in the Pa
cific progresses more favorably than
now is anticipated.
Nearly all of the X-day cutbacks
ins war production will be in pro-
grams for the Army. The Navy,
Mr.. Krug said, may reduce their
schedules somewhat but they have
made no precise determination Of
the amount. After the German
collapse nearly all ofSthe emphasis
on munitions production will be in
planes and ships, with heavy bomb
ers stressed in the aircraft category

desire that American enterprise
