MARYLAND'S PROGRESS IN
CONSERVATION

The progress made by Maryland
during the past i've years towards
more efficient conservation of the
Etate's valuable natural resources
was outlined by Governor Herbert
r. O'Conor before the Maryland Con-
servation Forum, an unique meeting
in which Maryland's leading civic
and farm organizations and State
Conservation Agencies joined in
sponsorship.
The Governor projected the con-
servation programs of the various
State agencies into the postwar per-
iod and emphasized that at no time
in the history of the State WAS it
more necessary to consider ways to
assure fullest utilization of the state
natural resources, because of the
drains now being made upon all nat
ural resources throughout the world
due to wars necessities.
1.-THE very great, if unavoidable
waste and destruction of and drain
upon our national resources in gen.
eral, occasioned by our War Effort,
should serve to emphasize the i'm
portance and even urgency of plan
ming for the protection and building
UP of such of our resources as are
renewable under wise management.
l have in mind particularly the soils
of our farms, the permanent produc-
tivity of our forests, and our poten-
io1 itrarr1 al oI,,a G1l,
"We are fighting for the preserva-
ton of our freedom and of our Dem
ocratic institutions. Even with an
Allied Victory, witch seems assured,
our Democratic institutions will be
in competition with other political
systems. 1t would seem important,
therefore, that we overhaul our DEM
ocratic processes in tie interests of
their greater effectiveness Perhaps
in no other respect have we in the
past failed so greatly as in the wise
management and utilization of ma
lures bounty represented in our ma
tural resources.
1.-THE recreational value of our for
ests, fields, streams, and the open
waters of our Bay will no doubt as
sumo added Importance to many of
our returning soldiers accustomed as
they have become to a vigorous out
door life. This alone is an important
reason for developing and safeguard
ing the recreational values inherent
in these resources.
Unemployment is likely to be
serious problem in the after-war
years. The wise development of our
renewable resources should do much
to broaden our employment base in
the years to come and contribute to
the general prosperity of the State.
I'm the immediate period of read
justment following the termination
of hostilities, projects looking to the
improvement of our forests, public
recreational areas, and other resour-
ces should and will occupy an import
ant place in our postwar program.

MILLION SERVICE MEN
ALREADY ARE RE-EMPLOYED
BY INDUSTRY

That the soldiers dream of get
ting back his old job-or better
one-is already coming true is evil
denced by the aircraft manufacture
ing industry which has employed
some 100000 discharged service
men since Pearl Harbor
These veterans, according to an
owl report, have become "a real
factor" in reducing the manpower
shortage.
In connection with the rehabili-
tation, the National Association of
Manufacturers, which recently urged
It's members to re-employ disabled
veterans, has drawn up a program
outlining as an important aspect of
the problem that the handicapped
veterans must not be allowed to feel
as if they were objects of charity"
The association maintained that
industry's experience in job training
through breakdown of complex OPP
erations into simple ones could be
enlarged to aid in the training of
war veterans, and finally, that society
should care for those disabled veter-
ans handicapped so severely that they
cannot find place to work within
industry.
Among the major companies hir-
ing hundreds of discharged service
men are North American Aviation,
Inc; Consolidated Vultee Aircraft
Corporation; and Douglas Aircraft
Company. One cmpany has announ-
ced that henceforth it will fill all it's
vacancies with returned veterans.

FUNDS FOR HOSPITAL
EMPLOYEES

Governor O'Conor has announced
the transfer of budgetary funds in
the amount of $4,000 of the East
ern Shore State Hospital in order to
provide for bonus and overtime pay
to hospital employees.
Benefited by the Governors action
are most of the employees of the Hos
pital, including engineers, steward
ess, seamstress, housekeeper, store
keeper, stenographer and charge at
PENDANTS.
The additional funds are required
in order to meet the increased SAL
airy scale authorized by the Governor
and to pay overtime to the hospital
employees when working OH more
than the minimum number of hours.
In addition, the employees are now
being paid extra for working days
which would otherwise be off time.
Additional amounts are included
in the transfers to enable the en-
ployes to receive bonus payments
made under the Governors fiscal pro-
gram. At first, it was assumed that
no payments could be made to en-
ployes receiving any amount of main
tenance. However. Governor O'Conor
authorized the payments to be made
to those employees who did not re-
ceive full allowance for both board
and lodging. 1t is expected that the
same rule will apply in regard to the
bonus payments made as result of the
Governors program authorized at
the recent Special Session of the
Legislature.

The former quiet little trading
post of Bellemont, on the Santa Fe
Railroad, Arizona, has in recent
months been converted into one of
the biggest ordnance depots in the
world. More than 1900 Navajo In
dams have been hired as clerks, in
terpreters, electricians, mechanics,
chauffeurs, masons and laborers. In
to this group of Indians the Presby-
terry of Northern Arizona has sent a
religious worker, full-blooded Nav
ajo, Roger Davis, who is high in the
ranks of the Navajo Tribal Council.
The indians have rallied to his lead

The DRAFTS blowing in the di-
rection of men who before long will
reach the age of thirty years Many
men in the classification of AZ may
be forced into war jobs and away
from jobs that are not classed as es-
sential. The indications are that at
least two-thirds of the men in the
army will be on their way overseas
just as fast as the ships can carry
them. At this time employment on
the farms is apt to escape heavy
drains for military duties.

WAGE POLICIES
BY j. f. Jones

Washington, D. c., April IL
Some of the bureaucrats and auto
Gratis of the Federal government will
tell you that our wage policy is
founded upon the Sterilization Act
of 1912 and the Presidents hold-the-
line order issued about year ago.
The latter Act is often called Win
sons baby" The War Labor Board
has had a hard time trying to keep
the baby" alive, particularly in view
of the rule that there are to be no
further increases in wage rates or
salary scales beyond the Little Steel
formula EXCEPT where it is clearly
necessary to correct sub-standards of
living" according to the President
There have been many cases where
the word except" seems to have
been spelled with a capital &C."
Big labor leaders took many EEK
ceptions" and wages began to rise
at times all the way from portals of
coal mines up to the affairs of the
railroads and other industries.
Apparently the War Labor Board
has done some shadow-boxing about
the sterilization policy.

A Good Postwar Recipe


When the last trumpets blow and
victorious peace has been won the
thoughts of tens of millions will turn
to two principal needs-jobs and
he production of goods for peacetime
living. Actually people are thinking
If these things now, and it is clear
hat the man in the street not only
.eels that war industry can begin
planning for the resumption of it's
formal peacetime activity without
diminishing it's war effort, but ap-
proves of such company planning.
Indeed, such planning is reassur-
ing even though there are long hard
battles to be fought, and many wea-
pons to be built before the war will
end. Because it is one of the coun-
try's largest employers and produc-
ars, and because as a peacetime auto
mobile builder it has undergone a
more complete transformation than
most industries of war, the plans
Of General Motors for the reconver-
sion and postwar periods are of par
ticular significance.
In his recent annual report to
stockholders Alfred P Sloan, Jr.,
Chairman of General Motors, stresses
the grave Importance of avoiding
delays in reconverting plants to CT
william production. For example, he
says, if the war in Europe ends be-
lore the war in the Pacific, "it un-
loubtedly would be necessary to pro-
iced with reconversion on basis OF
iual operations" The cut in war pro-
dluction would permit and require
the return of available facilities to
a peace basis as quickly as possible.
'"The first and vital job is the win
ming of the war;" he points out. 1.-THE
utmost efforts of industry must con-
tinue to be directed to that end"
Mr.. Sloan reported that his COM
pany was prepared to make an ag-
gregate expenditure of approximate
" 100000 in the postwar per-
iod for expansion, reconversion, mod
ernization of existing equipment and
retoollng Tor postwar products. GIN

Of its own plants and 16 that are
sovernment-owned. These plants con-
tain approximately 10000 machine
.ools in use on war work and other
authorized products. OF these, $4,000
belong to GIN. The company also has
IN storage 1900 machine tools for
which no wartime use has been
found, while some 3,100 peacetime
machines have been sold to other
var proudcers. Many of these key
machines must be replaced or recov-
cred. These figures give some idea of
