Up To The People

The industries of the United States have
just started job that deserves unrestrained
commentator. Thousands of them. through
the National Industrial Information Com
mlttee, have joined in the greatest informa
lonal campaign to the people ever at
tempted by private enterprise.
The outstanding feature of this en-
deaVor is the fact that meeting of thous
andS of minds in all lines of diversified pro-
ductlon and employment, was secured to act
as a unit IN presenting a program to the
PUBIC on the job industry must do and will
90 IN meeting what are commonly called
postwar problems. AS matter of fact. thew
are the problems that we have all faced
since the world began, of earning our dailv
bread and butter. But never before has
industry, IN clear and concise language.
tried to show the people where the public
interest IN helping to maintain conditions
conducive to investment, and employment,
ana Productlon, is greater than the inter-
est OF any industry involved.
In series of advertisements that is
running throughout the nation, the National
industrial information Committee is en-
deaVorlng to make clear to the wage Garner.
the capitalist, the housewife and the EN-.
ployer, that there is no mythical means of
making jobs either by industry or the gov
ernment-that it is the people themselves
who, by their own acts, create the condi-
tons that make or destroy employment,
earnings, savings and government.
While industry must furnish the Jobs
and will do all in its power to accomplish
that end, the people who, in turn, are the
workers, the investors and the government,
nave the solution of industrial problems that
create employment in their own hands
Industry in the United States repre-
sents Amerlca-not few stockholders. The
people must realize, and realize soon, that
neither industry nor government can be
more successful than the people will it to
be. Industry is doing a tremendous lob in
focusing public attention on this issue.

Who's UnreaIistie' Now

Last Fall, Washington admittedly was
over-optimistic. Now, contrarily, its official
dom seems over-restrained in admitting the
likelihood of an early victory in Europe.
This could be viewed as just another
evidence of the fog of obfuscation which
oft and again settles over the Potomac were
the significance less dire. AS for instance:
What now about those plans for the gradual
and orderly reconversion of part of war in
dussry to eventual civilian production after
We Day?
The well-conceived and detailed Bar
uch-Hancoek Report for Advanced Plan
ming for K Day." as We Day then was
called, apparently was shelved along with
the official rose-colored glasses Painfully
little has been done along those lines in
most major industries that soon will be
ready for reconversion.
Many forward-thinking manufacturers
have their own reconversion plans well pre-
pared, and need only government word to
get going. Maybe it's time indeed for in
dustry to begin calling attention to this!

times. This was a smart move as
the slippery decks were far ahead
of the mop and bucket crews. And
so half the troops staggered around
Liner x with their helmets under
one arm and their lifejackets under
the other.
The ships library was turned over
to troop use, and the Red Cross had
provided us with kits that contained
everything from books and playing
cards to toilet articles and letter
paper. The food served by the navy
was excellent, Cfor those who were
able to enjoy it, and the forward
weather deck was open to
troops so that you could get some
fresh air now and then. The biggest
drawback of the trip was that you
had to shower, wash and shave in
salt water. and nobody had the fore
sight TO bring along salt water soap.
The ships store was open at certain
hours and by standing in line FIR
hours you could buy almost any
thing you desired. One night a group
of the ships crew had a jam ses-
sion in their quarters and inside
of a few seconds the area was
packed with eager listeners. And
of course dice rolled and cards we're
played every hour of the day. It
was a thrill to see the flying fish
skim along the waves stirred up by
the ships prov, and various sea
birds followed us during the entire
trip.
On the morning of the fifth DAY
We found that we were within sight
Of land. Beautiful land! It was only
an island Of course, but IL was still
mother earth! And that was all
that was necessary.

In order to save the life of a wounded
American soldier on the German front, the
oIood plaSma has to get to the German
front. You gave your blood at your local
blood-bank. But it can't just be wished
overseas. 1t has to go in a carton. A car
ton has to be made out of paper Waste
paper. You've got the waStepaper: news
papers, old wrapping paper, the bag the gro
cerleS came in. We've all got it. What do
we do with it? Mostly we burn it up or
throw it away with the garbage Every
day, all over the country, we are burning
up-deStroylng-ton of paper that could
be used to transport more life-giving plasma

The Growing Insult

Now comes the browning insult to
American intelligence. The National Music
Camp at Interlochen, Michigan, has been
placed on the unfair list" of the American
Federation of Musicians, Mr. Petrillo's or
ganization. The move is designed to strip
the school of its faculty who. should they
attempt to work at the school, face suS-
pension from the union, which would pre-
vent them from securing commercial en-
ployment in their profession.
DR.. Joseph E. Maddy, Professor of Music
at the University of Michigan, who is head
of the Camp, holds that the unions position
constitutes serious threat to the further
ance of musical education, and is of no
benefit financially to the musicians.
How long before Congress and the
courts will curb a monopoly which today
has total power over the right of an in
dividual to earn his living, even to the ex-
tent of assessing him for political purposes
contrary to his beliefs, and even to the
extent of shutting children off the air in
musical program? Why call this free Amer
lea, when we tolerate such destruction of
individual liberty? If this move goes un-
challenged by our lawmakers. what will be
the next step? It takes no wild stretch of
imagination to see labor dictators controll-
ing government as completely as they now
control the individual.

and the crew members crawl back
and forth through it all the time
Maj. Russ Cheever reported that
he accomplished the impossible the
other day by turning around in the
tunnel
On missions, some of the crew
get back in this tunnel and sleep
for an hour or so. But a lot of them
can't stand to do that. I've heard
combat crewmen bring up the sub
ject a half dozen times. They say
they get claustrophobia in the tun-
mel.
There used to be some sleeping
hunks on tn B-29. but they've been
taken out, and now there's hardly
even room to lie down on the floor.
A fellow does get sleepy on a IA
hour mission. Most of the pilots
take maps in their seats. One pilot I
know turned the plane over to his
copilot and went back to the tun-
mel for "a little nap" and didn't
return for six hours, just before
they hit the coast of Japan. They
laughingly say he goes to sleep be-
fore he gets his wheels up.
The Bog is a very stable plane
and hardly anybody ever gets sick
even in rough weather. The boys
smoke In the plane, and the mess
hall gives them a small lunch Of
sandwiches and oranges and cook
les to eat on the way.
On mission days all flying crew.
men, even those not going ON the
mission, get all the fried eggs they
want for breakfast. That's the only
day they have eggs.
The crewmen wear their regular
clothes on missions, usually cover
alls. They don't have to wear heavy
fleece-lined clothes and all that
bulky gear, because the cabin is
heated. They do slip on their heavy
steel FLAX vests" as they approach
the target.
