Industrial Research
Laboratories Shaping
Future American Way
New Products, Processes
Mean Jobs, Better Living

Jobs, incomes and more, better
and cheaper goods and services for
the new era which America is now
entering will depend to a large ex-
tent upon scientific research. The
radio, television, chemical, plastic,
automobile and many other indus
tries are direct tangible benefits of
industrial research. The television
industry, for example, has spent
more than 20 million dollars on re-
search and it is expected to pro-
vide for more than $50, 1000 new Jobs
which never existed before. u
Other new products and services
which may be expected now in
clude:
Aviation type gasoline for automo.
biles at no extra cost.
Factory made houses with stand.
ardized parts but put together ac-
cording to the owners design.
Moth-resistant and non-shrinkable
wool fabrics treated at the factory
with special chemicals.
Transparent window screens that
will roll up like shade.
Windows of polarized glass
through which the flow of light can
be regulated by turning button.
Sulfa drugs, penicillin and other
new healing aids, plentiful and at
costs that can be met by all.
Thousands of familiar prewar
achievements will be obsolete. Auto
mobiles, radios. washing machines,
refrigerators and similar products
will be so greatly improved that
customers will want the new prod
ucts even though their old ones are
not worn out. This will provide
thousands of new jobs in existing
industries in addition to those Gre
ated by new industries.
Atomic Age Coming.
American industry engages not
only in applied research but con-
tributes heavily to fundamental re-
search - pioneering new knowledge
in chemistry, physics and other sci
ences.
"Atonic bombs would not have
been possible except for the expert
mentation in atom smashing to
which industrial corporations con.
tributed funds, talent and new tech.
biological equipment over a period
of several years. Tie application of
atomic energy to peacetime prod
ucts will come eventually.
Between the two World Wars, in
dustriaI research in the United
States grew almost tenfold, from
an expenditure Of 2.9 million dollars
in 1920 to 1914 million dollars in 1910,
While indications point to industrial
research growing faster in the
next decade than ever before, the
shortage of technical personnel to
staff laboratories will be a serious
handicap.
Availability of funds will be an
other important factor in the growth
of research. Decline in income from
endowments has made educational
and research foundations increas-
ingly dependent upon contributions
by industry.

this was their primary objective,
but do believe it. My defense is
that my fault, and the fault of this
nation up to now, has been that we
did not suspect the Japs enough.
What has proved true of Japan in

Harbor reports).
Yet it is plain there should be

handle any traps. And Japan.
now, has suddenly become
small nation, a very small ma
ton. The single point i'm the sur
render terms which limited ia
pan to her homeland was the
greatest guarantee of peace in
the impending future. She was
never powerful at home where
she is short in raw materials
and could not possibly build
power. 1t was her East Asiatic
expansion program which gave
her the resources with which to
make war against us.
AS far as I can learn she has nc
uranium and no atomic bomb for
mula. If she developed these things
she could cause trouble and no doubt
she will cause as much trouble as
her limited perimeter permits. This
thought may well have lain unspo-
ken in President Truman's mind
when he excused his proposed 1925
draft with the suggestion that, of
course, we might have trouble in the
Pacific.
JAPAN OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Now Japan has become our re-
sponsibility. China and Russia have
settled their Asiatic mainland diff
ferences, at least to the extent of a
presently peaceable working agree.
ment. The Pacific peace is there
fore on an entirely different plane
than the settlement in Europe.
We have nothing on the Ash
attic continent, but have taken
the islands of the Pacific and the
Japanese homeland, presum-
ably intending to withdraw
eventually when peace is re-
stored, but keeping island bases
we consider essential to our mill
itary safety (either under the
trusteeship system through the
United Nations, or by actual di-
rect control as recently recom-
mended by a house committee).
On the mainland are only Russia
and China, as major influences there
on the ground. Through Singapore,
India and Indo China, the British and
French are present to an extent.
China can piece her broken country
together and become strong ma
ton. Unfortunately she has not only
been overridden by seven years Of
war, but is in the depths of tremen-
dous imitation and politically faces
harassment from the Communists,
above or below board, no matter
what peace is made. In fact she
has never been an orderly nation.
Her struggle is to get on sound
ground and as she represents to
considerable extent sincere appre-
citation of Christian principles, she
is to the United States q natural

Considerinq More Drafts

Washington, Aug. 8-UP)-Se- lective Service Warned today that greater numbers of men between 18 and 30 previously deferred for es- sential work will have to be drafted into the armed forces.
 A report to the House Military Affairs Committee said there was not a sufficient number of young men becoming IS years of age each month to meet induction quotas.
 Rep. John J. Sparkman, D., Ala, who received the report for the committee, said it also may mean than an additional number of men above 30 years of age will have to be drafted.
 The report did not specify what occupational groups would be in line off induction. But it said that the 1S to 30 year deferred group included 65,000 members of the Merchant Marine, as well as large numbers of men working in coal mines, railroads, ship repair yards end other essential war activities" :"

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON seRvlcEMEN'S PROBLEMS
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington. Aug. 8-Here are some general questions from GIs and their relatives on the rights of veterans:
 0. Last year my husband died. This left me all alone with my son in the army. My health was bad and there was practically no money left from my husbands es- tate so I requested that my son be discharged to help me. He was. Since then my health has im- proved and I am able to work and want my son to start college. wonder now, if the circumstances ef his discharge will disqualify him from getting the education benefits provided in the CT Bill of Rights?
 A. If he meets the other qualifi- cations, the fact that he was dis charged to help you makes no dif- ference. He will be eligible for all CT rights.
 c. What Is the six nionths' death gratnity?
 "A. It is llrmp-sirn payment equal to six months pay (but not allowances) at the rate received by the person at the date Of death. It

Our audience was half sailors and half 20th Di- vision boys and half WACS and nurses. That doesn't add up, but when you see an American girl up here you look at her so often that she seems like a crowd. It was quite a change working for sailors. When girls come on stage the soldiers put their fingers in their mouth and whistle. But sailors are an en- tirely different type audience. They put their whole hand in their mouth and whistle through their ears!
 On the way to our second setup, we drove past the big German liner Europa, now at anchor here and manned by a U. s. Navy crew. Bremerhaven has been gone over more than any town we've seen so far, and it all happened in one 27-min-

 A graduate of the Watertown high school and of Simmons College in 1914, It. Goldberg was an instructor of Nursing arts at the Peter Bent Bingham hospital Boston last sum- mer. She left in September 1944 to begin her training in the U. s. Army Nurse Corps, and in December left for overseas.
 After short stay in England she was stationed in France with the 221st General hospital and is entitl- ed to wear a battle star on her uni- form.
 After brief stay in detached service with the 83rd general hospital in Suippes, France, It. Goldberg is back with the 221st general hospital. and Is at a yedeployment center.
 She has been able to make sev- eral trips to Paris, during one of which she met Jerry Colona, con- edian of the Bob Hope show, with whom she had coffee and doughnuts at one of the officers club. He is as funny off the stage as on, she reports. and the mustache, with which he is familiarly pictured, is real.
