WAR PRODUCTION:
Schedules Increase


With emphasis on more bombers
and engine parts, the government
increased its war contracts in re-
cent weeks, indicating that the rapid
pace of the conflict is forcing re-
adjustment of needs.
Besides the boost in the bomber
and engine parts program, it was
revealed, ground troops were sched-
uled to get 21.9 per cent more am
munition, heavy artillery and tanks.
To meet a critical emergency of
engine parts in battle zones, the gov
eminent has undertaken so mil
lion dollar expansion of the industry,
and established special panels, or
committees, in the seven major
plants for speeding up of output.
Labor Relations
Supplementing its previous policy
of plant seizures to back up War
Labor board rulings designed to set
tie industrial disputes, the U. S.
drew new weapon to force COM
pliance through cancellation of
firms government contracts.
In following such a course of ac-
ton against the E. A. Laboratories
of Brooklyn, N. Y, Economic Sta
Utilization Director Vinson said that
the U. SIS procedure was legal, in
solar as the courts have frequently
held that no business has an auto
matte right to getting government
contract.
Despite the U. SIS power to influ-
ence compliance with WLB orders
through plant seizures and withhold
ing of priorities, in addition to con-
tract cancellations, OES Chieftain
Vinson said that still more effective
action could be obtained through
legislation furnishing non-compli-

EUROPE:
Postwar Pattern

Their historic conference at Yalta
having ended in agreement, the Big
Three departed from the balmy Cri-
mean watering resort determined to
maintain equal harmony on the i'm
fermentation of the new course they
struck for trodden Europe, en-
visaging the return of democratic
government and obliteration OF
Nazism and Fascism.
Thorniest problem in Allied rela-
tons before the conference, the
Polish question was met by U. S.
and British recognition to Russian
annexation of part Of eastern
Poland, and the agreement to in
clude independent democratic lead
ers into the Red-sponsored pro-
visional government until the people
themselves can name their own re-
gine in a free and open election.
In respect to free elections, guar
anteeing the people Of all the liber-

their own governments, the Big
Three pledged their support to as

to bring about such polls.

One of the wars most remarkable

the long skyroads to Tokyo for navi-

Developed by engineers of Bendix

with the army and navy, the indica-
tor records continuously and auto
matically the exact "air position" of
a huge super-fort in fight on a
single dial giving the navigator an
instantaneous reading of his longi-
tude and latitude and saving hours
of complex calculations.
No larger than a quart milk bot
tie, the computing device not only
shows ''air position in degrees of
longitude and latitude" but also
gives the navigator a continuous
record of air miles flown from the
take-off point and indicates the cor
rect compass heading of the air.

these readings, plus a check of wind

To Tokyo's 100000 terrified resi-

Discharged G.I.s are so anxious

survey of the Northwestern National
Life Insurance company showed,
that they want alterations on their

buy good quality suits-averagi ng
about $45 in price; they don't shop
around, but go to one store and buy
as nearly complete outfit as the
store can supply; they usually pay
cash, even when they could "charge
it," and they seldom shop alone.
