 Even now, if the war in Europe ends before Decem- Der, Romney estimated, it is too late to retriveithe ad- ditional lag in reconversion time already occasioned by Washington's failure to reach timely decisions. Every further days delay in starting these prepara- Itions adds more to the in- evitable period of heavy transitional t' unemploy- ment, which at best, ac- cording to some auto in- dustry sources, must ex- tend for six months.
 Romney accused the Washington officials of creating a false public inn Epression that reconversion preparations in fact are we'll advanced.
 Whether or not this inn pression was deliberately created, the bill of particu- lars supplied by the speak CT left no doubt of it's fal- sity. Some steps sought by the auto industry have been
 taken but the foilure tc

RECONVERSION SLOWED UP

George Romney, director of the Automotive Council or War Production, sav-
 gely attacked the Govern
 lent's dilatoriness on re- Conversion preparations in the speech he made before the National Industrial Conference Board.
 The evident purpose was to build a fire under the government agencies con- erned that possibly might stimulate them to energetic action. aa'
 Both purpose and attack are justified by the facts of the situation and by the ex- treme importance to the country that reconversion

 Therefore it seems that great efforts must be exert ed by the allies before Ja- pan can be brought to her knees.
 The chief function of the Japanese navy has been that of carrying troops and troop supplies, and as a supply escort. Since the be- ginning of the Japanese na- tion they have been land soldiers and therefore think
 f war in terms of land bat
 es, therefore the navy has
 ad a job of protecting sea lanes to the land fronts, and also the areas surrounding the homeland.
 It is expected by the mil itary command to strike in the dark, surely and quick ly, to inflict as much dam- age as possible and then run-relying upon it's SUD- erior speed to retire from danger.
 From all conservative es- inmates we can expect that the Japanese navy will give a good account of itself when we are near enough with our land forces to be a easonable threat to the
 dpaneSe nOmelanQ.
 Nevertheless, there is yet
 formidable naval strength to the Japanese navy, and we must not for a moment let the victories in the war overshadow the grim bat ties which are sure to be necessary, before the ene- my is completely overcome.
 Until that job is done we pledge ourselves to, continue to pour the mater ials of war to the fronts.

DR.. Galloway
Speaks On
Deafness

Calling poor hearing a. universal
but not hopeless ailment, DR.. D.
V. Galloway, medical director of
the Health Education Division.
State Board of Health, said that
there is much that can be done
for the hard of hearing. Discuss
ing the importance of good hear
ing, the physician named improved
diagnostic and treatment facilities,
more examinations of school chill
dren, lip reading classes in schools,
and hearing devices now on the
market, as aids to better hearing.
Deafness is neither obvious nor
dramatic" he said, land we don't
always know when we encounter
it. For example, teacher may
judge child stupid and uncooper-
alive, not knowing that a physical
handicap accounts for the pupils
low level of achievement. Often
the mere moving of a student to
the front row will counterfeit the
disadvantage in the school room.
Other students can be told of
child'S inability to hear well os
that they can make allowances in
school and at play for his disabil-
ity."
Emphasizing the fact that good
hearing is important to the ma
ture and the elderly as we'll as
the young, DR.. Galloway said that
good hearing to the industrial work
er and the professional man alike,
and that poor hearing can be a pos
tive danger.
"Workmen on the job" he con-
tinued, need to hear what other
workers say to them. They need
to hear the foreman give his in
structions concerning how to do
Job-and how to do it safely. On
the street we need the warning our
ears give of an approaching vehicle.
IN fact since good hearing is essen
tial to mans learning, working, and
inspirational activities, we must
recognize impaired hearing as a
real health problem.
