HUMAN LEADERSHIP IN IN
DUSTRY, by Sam A. Lewis6hn


Harper; 81.
We're still the human race.
That's what Lewiston reminds us,
in sum and substance, in this book
about labor-managemen relations
and their effect on society. A
mans a man before he's union
man and before he's boss. The
problem, then, is to reconcile his
aspirations for justice, security, a
position of esteem and sometimes
power with the requirements Of
the community at large.
Labor and capital get about
equal parts of praise and blame
for their roles in the machine age;
they are charged with being sell
fish, domineering, ignorant of
larger issues.
But if Lewisohn is scrupulously
impartial, he nevertheless holds
firm convictions about the proper
duties and privileges of each
group in the coming world. Labor
must let management manage, it
must not block labor-saving devi-
ces, it must do more for itself than
fight for bigger pay. On the other
hand, the employer must give
more intelligent study to the labor
problem even while he accepts his
me C p able responsibilities as
leader not only in his plant hut
in, his country.
Few books about so peppery a
subject leave such good taste in
the mouth. -Lewisohn's style is

United Press staff Correspondent
BOSTON, Oct. 26. - Prof. Al
bert Einstein warned today that
an atomic war might kill tw O.
thirds of the earth's 1000, 900, 900
inhabitants, and he urged strongly
that the secret Of the bomb be
withheld from the United Nations
Organization and especially from
Russia.
The eminent physicist, in an
article in the November Atlantic
Monthly, advocated that control OF
atomic energy be guarded scrupu-
lousy by the United States until
such time as it can be entrusted
to a proposed world government.
II do not believe that civiliza-
ton will be wiped out in a war
fought with the atomic bomb,
Prof. Einstein said in an article
written in collaboration with Ray
mond Swing. Perhaps two-thirds Of
the people of the earth might be
killed, but enough men capable OF
thinking and enough books would
be left to start again, and civiliza-
ton could be restored"
The Nobel Prize winner, whose
formula led to the concept that
atomic energy could be utilized,
said he did not consider himself
father of the atomic movement.
my part in it was quite in
direct, he said. II did not, in
fact. foresee that atomic energy
would be released in my time. l
believed only that release was
theoretically possible. 1t became
practical through the accidental
discovery of chain reactions, and
this was not something could
have predicted.
Describing atomic energy in it's
present stage as menace,
Prof. Einstein expressed hope that
it would ''intimidate the human
race into bringing order into its
international affairs
This order he would achieve
through a world government estab-
lished by the United States, Great
Britain and Russia. To the propos-
ed government all three nations
would turn over their full military
strength.
"Since the United States d
Great Britain have the secret OF
the atomic bomb and the Soviet
Union does not he said, "they
should invite the Soviet Union to
nrepare and present the first draft
of a constitution for the proposed
world government"
That, however. is the only con-
cession Prof. Einstein would make
tn Russia. He is adamantly op-
posed to giving the Russians the
secret of the bomb at present,
comparing such a move to the ac'
tion Of a man with capital who
starts out by giving his prosp C.
tive partner half of his money at

care to do so. For men and ma

 Why then, does industrial pro- duction still go On despite air raids? Here is what my source says: There are two reasons. CD Transplantation of German indus tries and their decentralization. CD Basic change in weapons used and made.
 In 1942, the Germans moved in- dustries away from endangered zones. When, at the beginning oi 1943, the Allies started extensive air raids, this process was almost finished Plants were moved from the eastern and western regions into middle Germany, Austria, Bo. hemia, Moracia, Sudeten and Upper Silesia. In the beginning entire factories were transported only rarely. Instead, the British system of shadow factories was applied in such way that for each endan- gered plant, factory was built and ready for work in the above-men- tioned regions. When the mother plant was bombed, the newly built

plant began to work and material and machines which were not hit were shipped to safer places.
 SIMPLIFY PRODUCTION
 Equally important in this con- nection is the complete simplifica- tion of types of armament pro- duced in Germany today. At tho beginning of the War German production was quality produc- tion, with innumerable types of precision and specialized instru- ments, which cost time, money, material and specialized workers.
 In the Russian war these pre- cision instruments broke down. They didn't function on account of cold, heat, and dirt. On the other hand, the Germans saw that Russian weapons were extremely simplified and each of the few types built in an enormous series stood up much better.
 The Germans, led by Armament Minister Speer, took the cue and began a simplification program between 1941 and 1942. Thus loss caused by air raids in 1922 was completely compensated, accord

NORWAY SEES
 WORLD PEACE UP POWERS

London, April 16-(UP)-Foreign Minister Trygve Lie, leader of the Norwegian Norseman at San Fran cisco an diet the Big Three call the security tune.
 They have the responsibility for keeping the peace, so they should say how to organize it," he explains.
 Silence isn't chronic with the compliant, jovial Norwegian but the picks his moments for talking. He will talk extensively when the con- ference raises social and economic questions. That's where he and his delegation of experts think Norway should have a strong voice.
 Lie is a hulk of a man who loves joke and hates the Germans. Long a labor leader in Norway, he is at ease in international political society, in which he has moved as foreign minister since 1941. His English is good, with touch of Oslo sing-song, and so is his stock of stories. He makes the direct approach and isn't burdened with formality. At the end of one soci- ety dinner, with its array of fine wines, he said. Tt may be impolite, but I'd like big glass of lager. In general, the Norwegian dele gation is satisfied with the security organization proposals made at Dumbarton Oaks and Yalta. They will sit and listen to the big ones talk, and vote for the big-power plan. When the conference turns to non-political matters, they will become active, offering several suggestions for making the econ- omic and social council the strong est possible. Norway long has been one of Europe's most progressive nations. Her leaders feel t h t much of the worlds future we'll being depends upon cooperation in these matters.
 Although having one of the small est populations in Europe, Norway has earned the right to a strong voice in the United Nations by her war effort. The greatest contribu- tion has been her merchant fleet, once the fourth largest in the world; half of it has been sunk in the AL lied cause. Her underground organ ization has been one of the best in Elrope.
 Lie will stress these facts if nec- essary, but they are well known in Moscow, London and Washington There is good feeling between Mos- COW and the Norwegian government Red Army troops liberatd far north ern Norway, and Lie himself visited Moscow several months ago. He returned more convinced than ever that Norway can never be isolation ist again, and must put her thrust in the big powers.

Report from U"oeeuped esU~ony By Curt Rsss Nazi Industries Moved To Caves And Forests To Escape Air Raids

ing to my source, and al together l942 was the biggest eyar yet iD armament production.
 The decision to concentrate on rocket weapons meant further simplification of production pro- cesses. Almost all rocket weap- ons, particularly the latest 'Pan- zerfaust" and "Panberschreck," can be manufactured without compli- cated plants, and without steel re- fined by artisans. Everywhere in Germany, particularly in middle Germany, Saxonia and Thuringia, thousands of new small plants ap- peared. Factories formerly produc- ing textiles or consumer goods were adapted for rocket weapons.
 My source told me that such factories could be set up in wood en barracks and could produce within three weeks time. He says that today there isn't small vil- lage anywhere in Germany where such production doesn't go on.
 AS to the coal situation, it isn't as bad as is generally believed. Before the invasion aid air raids, Germany's entire production was 500, 900, 900 tons - half anthracite and half Ignite. Except for 20,O00,O00 tons near Zwickau in Saxony, the entire anthracite production was concentrated in the Ruhr and Upper Silesia. However, most Ignite production was in the center of Germany around Halle, Leipzig and the Sudenten. Most armament inddustries can be run on Ignite.
 MOVE UNDERGROUND
 Present production is sufficient to keep what is left of the German army in fighting condition for some time. It isn't enough in the long run, even for defensive warfare, but more than enough for delaying war fare.
 There are enormous plants part ly underground in the Luneburg Heath forests, in middle Germany, Thurnigia and of course in the Alps, where the future Reduit is supposed to be. These plants are either cam ouflaged and impossible to recog- nize from the air. or, as in Reduit, really in caves and subterranean tunnels According to my source, these plants will produce until oc- cupied by the Allies. All of which means that final collapse of the German armies will only come after final defeat-not through lack of ammunition.
 There is still another interest ing angle to underground factor ies. They won't be destroyed after the final collapse, unless destroyed by the Germans themselves. The in- dustrial capacity of these plants is sufficient to supply the German

 Berne, April 16--One of the most puzzling questions is why the Ger man war effort didn't break down long ago because of lack of weapons and ammunition. Experts years ago predicted that German industry couldn't survive a certain amount of bombing. Allied air raids have far surpassed all such estimates.
 This correspondent had occa- sion to interview an important German industrialist who is ex- tremely well informed about go- ings on in Germany. He told me that while Allied bombs, partic- ularly during the last few months, had done enormous damage and Allied progress in the east and west had deprived Germany of important industrial centers, the situation of the war industries isn't desperate. German armies are not being defeated because of a shortage of material.
 This doesn't mean that work goes on in the plants according to schedule. During the last six months the constant interruption of railroad lines has caused a terrific shortage of coal almost everywhere. So-called coal va cations" are frequent occurrences and extend sometimes for fort night.
 NO RAW MATERIALS
 Lack of coal also caused lack of electricity. In January and February every armament plant was without electricity one day each week. Other factories lost hundreds of thousands of man hours because of lack of raw ma terial. In many factories workers sit around, play cards and talk because they have no raw ma terials. About three weeks ago the Ministry of Economics gave armament plants permission to start using sertain reserve stocks which have been left intact for last emergency.
 All these difficulties have been caused by breakdown in the trans portation system. Train service is now under 1914 schedules which already were enormously reduced. However, nowhere in the Reich has there yet been a complete break down of traffic. Even after suc- cessful air raids trains usually

EARTHWORMS HELD TOP AID
 T0FARMERS

Cleveland, April 16-UP)-The simple little earthworm and trash farming can help destroy insects which plague the farmer and de- your the crops, according to ChriSs topher Gallup of North Stonington, Conn.
 Gallup, a self-styled gentleman farmer who turned his hobby into a career, said here recently that inc sect and gungis hordeS "attack' only unhealthy plants because Nin- sect pests are natures method of eliminating the unfit"
 'Tf our plants aren't healthy to begin with. how can they producs healthy babies" he says.
 Gallup-actually a civil engineer turned insurance executive turned earthworm grower and trash farm er-doesn't have much use for com- mercial fertilizers.
 Fooled Farm Experts
 Gallup lets earthworms do his fertilizing job for him. And what job.
 He bought a 175-acre farm for what he called "plaything." It has even now a nice pond for swim ming and a cool brook for trout. But the land when he bought it was so worn out that agricultural experts said it wouldn't serve for anything better than re forestation.
 But Gallup-witlout even plow- ing the land (he's against that too)-used trash cultivation and earthworms to make the land yield 196 bushels of corn per acre, 126 bushels more than it had previous ly been able to produce.
 Drives Out Worms
 Gallup is against blowing be- cause it drives out the earthworms
 Tt blows under the vegetation upon which the worms feed, shuts off the oxygen, and permits fungus growths to attack this vegetation" he said. "The worms won't eat the fungus. The worms go into the subsoid for the minerals they can't find in the surface. They absorb these minerals in their gizzards, and then cast them out on the surface. Why bury them with plow- ing?"
 The Gallup farm, whose crop feed produces bigger and fatter pigs and cattle than on any other near by farm. his 130,O00 worms to the acre. But the gentleman farmer said he hopes to raise the worm population to 1,50O, 900 per acre and then "the results will stagger the imagination"
