Navy Ordered To Operate 90
Machine Shop Companies

Washington-President Roose-
welt this week ordered the Secre-
tary of the Navy to take over and
operate SO machine shop compan-
les producing war materials
around San Francisco because OF
refusal of union to lift an over
time ban on workers.
The order was made public by
the White House along with a let
ter dated Friday from George w.
Taylor, vice-chairman of the War
Labor Board, recommending seiz-
ure of the shops.
The board previously had urged
seizure of five such plants be-
cause of the refusal of Lodge 68
of the international Association
Of Machinists to accept board
order to rescind a union action
prohibiting work in excess of
eight hours a day or 48 hours in
one week in 104 San Francisco
shops.
Taylor said it was hoped that
seizure of the five plants, which
the President ordered August IA,
would result in removal of the
overtime ban on all of them but
the ban was lifted only on the
five shops over which the navy
had assumed control and contin-
ued on the remaining 80.
The Presidents order asserted
that there are existing or threat
ened Interruptions of the opera
ton of said plants and facilities
as a result of labor disturbances" "
and the war effort twill be unduly
impeded or delayed by these in
terruptions."
He directed the navy to permit
the arrangements of the plants to
continue in their present jobs ito
the maximum degree possible,
consistent with the aims of this
ORDER"
He also authorized the officer
to take any necessary steps to
provide protection for the plants
and all persons employed or seek
ing jobs in them.
Meanwhile, naval officers in
charge of five strike-bound West
Coast war plants were authorized
by the OPA to revoke the supple
mental gasoline rations of employ
ees who refuse to return to work.

Good Dairy Cows
Pay Best Profit

Ten good dairy cows are more
profitable than twenty low pro-
ducers. In fact, low producers
often show up on the expense
side of the ledger rather than on
the profit side.
Under average conditions, a
cow giving six quarts of milk a
day just about pays for her feed,
according to R. H. Ruffner, pro-
fessor of dairy husbandry at
State College. She pays nothing
for stable rent or for the labor
required in milking and caring
for her.
On the other hand, a cow CIV
ing 10 quarts of milk a day will
generally yield a net profit but
this will depend on local condi-
tons, the price of milk and the
cost of feed. The more milk the
COW produces, the greater is the
profit.
In increasing milk yields, many
dairymen think of going out and
buying high priced cows. In
many instances they would do
better to sell their lowest pro-
ducers and endeavor to raise the
efficiency of their better animals.
according to Ruffner.
He suggests that every dairyman
seek to develop a herd whose av-
erage production is at least g.
900 pounds of milk year. Top
quality cows frequently produce
$500 pounds a year, and more.

1,444 FROM N. G.. DIE
WITH TUBERCULOSIS

Raleigh-Deaths resulting from
tuberculosis in North Carolina in
1913 totaled 1,444 or 1877 per cent
100000 population, Frank w.
Webster, executive secretary of
the North Carolina tuberculosis
Association announced this week.
Although the percentage of
deaths shows a decrease from
1912, Webster said, records from
many counties indicate an adj
vancing death rate. He estimated
the State now has $4,000 active
cases of the disease.
Every day the war continues
brings an increasing threat of a
rise in tuberculosis in North Car
olina,' Webster said. Resistance
to the disease is lowered under
wartime conditions such as I'M
due physical and mental strain,
long hours of work, inadequate
diet, crowded housing conditions,
and the unwise use of leisure
time"

LAUNCH NAVY CARRIERS
AT PHILADELPHIA, SUN.

Philadelphia-A mighty $4,000
ton aircraft carrier, the Antietam
and two powerful 13,000-ton
cruisers, the Chicago and the Los
Angeles were christened Sunday
at the Philadelphia Navy Yards.
'I wish our enemies could see
this triple launching" said Ralph
A. Bird, Undersecretary of the
Navy, principal speaker at the
ceremonies. ''They would see an
aircraft carrier and two cruisers
with a total displacement of
$4,000 tons, all launched at one
time at one yard. This marks the
largest launching at one time and
: one place in all of naval history"
'"The ship we launched yester-
day have a dual mission" he said.
''They are instruments of war and
peace alike. Their immediate
function is to wreck obstruction
on the enemy. Their long-term
function is to prevent destruction
in the future by preserving the
peace I hope their destinies
will take them to the harbors of
our enemies"

 What Mr. Crowley said, in effect was that most of these rumors a. bout Lend-Lease being the economic sucker were dreamed up by Nazi propagandists to create dissension in Allied ranks. Then, one by one, he took up some of the major rum ors and branded them as outright lies.
 haven't the space to report them all. but among them were stories ahat we are giving the Brit ish Lease-Lend gasoline at two cents a gallon which they are re- selling to our own forces in Britain at AZ cents a gallon; that the Brit ish are relabelling Lend Lease goods and reselling them to South America; that alcohol sent to Brit ain is converted into whiskey and resold to this country at a fabul- ous profit; that North Africans are getting huge quantities of diaper cloth and nylon hose under Lend Lease while the folks at home can't get a stitch; that the Russians are trading Lend-Bease U S. planes for Japanese rubber and using Lend Lease butter to grease their boots. The list is endless.
 I have followed Lend-Lease since it's inception. l have never talked to a minor or major official who didn't think some inconsistencies coldn't creep in, but I've never talked to one either who didn't feel that it would be impossible to con- ceive of any administrator approy- ing an expenditure that couldn't be explained on real merit.
 What government officials here will admit privately is that when billions are being thrown around in an all-out war effort, some funds will drift into the palms of graft CTS. But in. the case of Lend-Lease, they insist, very little of it goes that way.
 If there is any doubt of that, look at the voting record of Con- gress on Lend-Lease funds. In Con gress no opportunity Is overlooked to make political capital of admins tration errors. Lend-Lease has come in for it's share of criticism but when the chips are down these days, few of the 5SO-odd members of the House and Senate are willing tO record their votes in the "Nays"I column. -..lssasa ssszAra

Sweden May
 Defy NaziS
 After Invasion
CBy Associated Press)


 in this war is not easy. especially when you are a neutral so situated that you are the hole in the Nazi doughnut.
 Sweden's basic trouble is that she is surrounded. At any time Ger man bombers could wreck Stockholm and other Swedish cities.
 Only Switzerland is more hemmed in. Sweden is ringed by Nazi-oc- cupied Denmark on the west. oc- cupied Norway on the west and north, Germany's ally, Finland, and the Baltic states on the east, and by Germany itself. on the south.
 Would Fight For Homes
 Since the beginning of this, the second world war the Swedes have stayed out of, they have made it plain they would fight to defend their own territory if invaded, but only then. They are better able to do this now than in 1889.
 Most SWedes have relatives in this country, and emotionally most incline to the Allies. But geo. ography and Nazi bombers dictated a policy of the sternest neutrality.
 To stay neutral the Swedes car ried out their trade agreements both with the Allies and the Axis through Swedish shipping. By air, Sweden shipped some highgrade steel products to England.
 Early in the war the Germans bluffed the Swedes into letting un- armed German troops pass through the country to and from Norway. Not until last summer did the Swedes feel safe in telling the Ger mans this must stop.
 Among the important things Sweden furnished the Germans un- der their trade agreement were ball bearings. Recently the Allies have concentrated on bombing the Ger man ball bearing plant at SchWein- furt Further to cripple the NaziI war machine, they have urged Sweden to put off shipments of bearings to Germany.
 Rationed Ball Bearings
 It is not generally realized in this country apparently, that swed- en already had curtailed them. The Swedish legation here gives the fig ures.
 Last year Sweden shipped Ger many 30 million marks worth of bearings. This year, despite Ger man demands that this be increased to 40 million marks, the Swedes cut it to fl million.
 Stories that the United States has sent mission to Stockholm to buy up the entire output of Swedish ball-bearings to keep Germany from getting them should be regarded with reserve.
 While such preclusive buying has been practiced widely in this war, 1t is questionable whether it would work smoothly in this case because Germany could charge violation of her trade treaty with Sweden and take action accordingly
 It's thought more likely that the American official who went to Stockholm went to point out to the Swedes that Allied postwar trade policies may be influenced by what happens now.
 The Swedes are solid businessmen and know the limits to which they can go with Germany at this time. They can go much farther, get much tougher, after the Allied in- vasion ties up Hitler's armies and bombers.
