Fersonnel files of the factory dis c|dse that men and women came lf1n every walk of life to lend Q helping hand to the tremendous job 6f production in l942. Though classified as unskilled, their ef- forts at the assembly line, on the burr benches, inspection benches, and in maintenance and other de- oartments reveals their efforts greatly help to turn the tide or
 An Type Workers
 Among the thousands who put foot for the first time in a factory after the event of Pearl Harbor were travelling salesmen, chefs, walters, truckmen, poultry rsisers, interior decorators, furriers, land- scane gardeners, brokers, DeauCl- clans, teachers, and painters, and clergynien.
 It was also disclosed that many talented people who had reached the tops in their various peacetlme professions joined the industrial ranks to do their share in the war effort. One of New York's prominent orchestra leaders worked at a milling machine, a circus per- former ran 8 jitney, a well-knoWn poet became an expert inspector, and a lawyer kept vitally important records in machine shop.
 Business Men
 Numerous, too, were the small lndependent business men who closed the doors of their shops until the day of victory. Among them were proprietors of hardware, cleaning, electrical establishments, and grocers, tailors, tavern owners, and florists.
 Married women took over great number of the jobs in all depart ments except where trained me- rianics were required. Young girls and boys postponed their education to lend helping hand at the pro- auction line. Older men came out of retirement and took over the jobs of sweeper, door tending, and shop clerks. This group, compris- ang perhaps 20 per cent Of the per- sonnel planned to leave the 1ac- tory just as soon as the Victory bells pealed.
 Find New Work
 A checkup of some of the ern- ployes who were released within ffle past few months reveals that a number have already found a satisfactory living outside the fac- tory gates.
 Scores of clerks are already back at their counters. Truckmen are already on their former runs. Wait ers. cooks, gas station attendants, are being quickly absorbed.
 Many are also already engaged fin new fields of endeavor.
 An in-emigrant worker from New york City has become proprietor Of a rooming house. A shop clerk is planning to open a millinery store, and an inspector Is engaged In social work.
 Scores who have long dreamed of establishing their own business are anxiously awaiting the relaxing of wartime restrictions. It may be ex- pected the next year will bring forth a mushrooming of establish ments dealing in electrical appli- ances, radios, stockings, home fur- nishings, and restaurants, automobile agencies. and gasoline stations.
 Builders also reports that many thousands of carpenters, nlasons, painters, and plumbers will be needed to meet the demand of new laonaes within the next few years.

 In London. touring members of the U. s. House Foreign Affairs committee approved the presidents action.
 Will Inform
 After the criticism in Britain yeS- terday, American officials here tried to correct some misunderstanding about this weeks action. Crowley pointed out that ending of lend lease was not matter of discretion for him or for the president, but a decision made by Congress long ago to end the program with the war.
 Crowley also explained that there was no question involved of deny ing Allied governments the chance to get needed supplies from this country. The only change as a re- suit of the end of lend-lease, he said, was that after Vel Day our Allies must pay cash for what they get or arrange for loans or credits. Crowley also listed a six-point program for interim arrangements for Allied countries If they wish to take advantage of them.
 There was difference of opinion here among American officials whether the action actually would create @ break in the steady flow of goods to Britain. Some col- tended that even If credit arrange ments were made quickly the change in procurement procedure alone would create g break which might affect the British diet this winter.
 Program
 Crowley insisted that his six point program, if taken advantage of by Britain. would precent such break in the flow of materials. The pro- pram provides that:
 1. All new procurement for lend- lease will end immediately except for governments paying cash or ar- ranging export-import .oaas.
 2. Allied Nations will be given c chaeee to acquire all items on orcer by agreeing to pay the tJ g. ln equal annual payments over % years at

 Taking all these variables to- gether, government and industry sources said, the net result to the buying public vii be price tags on its favorite cars that range be- tween "a shade above 1942" and somewhat higher than l94l."

 In one month alone this year, Asahi admitted. Japan lost 1000 900 tons of shipping. The shortage of transportation for shipment of vital war materials into the homeland steadily grew worse and the build ing up of sufficient economic re- sources in Japan, Manchuria and China became a hopeless task.
 Air raids so disrupted aircraft production, Asahi said, that the output dropped from 8 peak of 5000 planes a month in June, 194A to 1000 month year later.
 These changes in Japanese fight ing strength reveal no economic basis for continuation of organized resistance against the Anglo-Ain- erican material superiority" the concluded.

There should be no lack of rival

with each club not only trying to
win somewhat synthetic pennant
but trying to uphold t. e prestige
of its natural leage against mem
bers of the other league which be-
came its unexpected bed-fellow in
the emergency circuit.
How would player deals be
worked out in such temporary cir
cults? A new waiver rule would
have to be adopted unless t h e
clubs retained their identities as
American or N a t i onal League
members.
How about the world series? It
would be unique to have the White
Sox and Yankees or the Cardinals

happen. And in case two National
League teams or two American

nants in their respective wartime
leagues, the other league never
would live it down.

pealed to management and labor
today to help the War Labor
Board clear it's books of more
than 5000 cases by settling more
of their disputes themselves.
Labor, and management ne
said in statement, may fine
they have surrendered their lib
erty by asking the board to set,
tie every issue between them. .
To supplement the boards own
recently initiated speed-up pro-
gram, Davis proposed:
l. Fuller use by employers and
unions of collective bargaining
machinery.
2. Maintenance of existing
contractual relations while a case
Is before the board awaiting de-
cision.
3. Neither side should ask de-
lays after case has gone to
the WLB.
4. All sides should acquaint
themselves with the national wage
sterilization policy while nego-
tiating and before taking their
troubles to the board.
5. Submission of written briefs
where possible and use of single
hearing officers instead of tri-
partite panels.
So ja-nmed has the board S
docket become despite its own
efforts at cutting corners, that
at present it is about 20 weeks
behind. Several big cases are
before it, including wage and other
demands by clearinghouse, tex
tile and General Motors workers.
