The war worker asks: when am
I going to be out of job?"
Broadly the answer is: Not for
many months yet unless Japan folds
up with unexpected speed. If you
lose your present job, another one
is waiting"
This is true for both the Eastern
and Western sections of the country.
Production authorities say there is
nothing to speculation that more
war production will be concentrated
on the West Coast against Japan.
After We day cutbacks will be made
according to weapons and supplies
no longer needed, regardless of
where they are manufactured.
The big difference between the
East and West Coasts will be that
Pacific ports will handle all the
outbound war shipping they can,
and East Coast ports will get only
the overflow
General questions about recon-
version cannot be answered exactly
except in reference to time.
Byrnes Makes Estimate.
James F. Byrnes, resigned director
of war mobilization and reconver-
sion, said last week end that he
expects 20 per cent of the Nation S
war production facilities will be re-
leased during the first three months
after We day. He estimated this
would mount to 80 per cent by nine
months after.
This talk of cutbacks, of course,
breaks down into very real problems
for plant owners. They want to
keep their machines going, their
workers employed, their profits COM
ing in. The extent to which they
are able to do this will mean jobs
and wages not only for the workers
now making munitions but also for
the men coming home from overseas
to stay after We day.
To meet these problems, the Army,
Navy, War Production Board and
other Government agencies have
organized an elaborate piece of con-
tract cancellation machinery. 1t has
a simple purpose-to ..elp manufac-
turers no longer needed in the war
effort get back into civilian produc-
ton as quickly as possible.
Intricate Pattern.
The seeming remoteness of the
Pacific war, the tasks now close at
hand that We day will bring, the
yearning of families to have their
sons and fathers home-all are part
of the intricate pattern of the
switch over from war to peace.
The one thing that seems abso-
lutely certain is that if this pattern
is to be prevented from becoming a
mad tangle of economic distress, un-
employment and deep unhappiness,
the craftsmanship of victory will
have to be every bit as courageous
and farsighted as the statesman

Wounded Air Hero
Urges Congress Probe
Of Veterans Agency

A bemedaled air forces veteran
who lost a leg in the China Burma
India theater after completing 116
missions, last night appealed to
American Legion Post "a at Gadsby's S
Tavern, Alexandria, to ask Congress
to investigate the Veterans Admin
istration, which, he said, sis joke
to the men of this war;
Talking at the Army Day program
of the post, many of whose members
are employed at the Veterans Ad-
ministration, First 1t. Robert T
Boody, 26, of New York City, urged
legionnaires to find out why it takes
as much as year and half" to
get rebates on wounded mans in
surance payments started, why dis
abled men claim they would rather
be shot than transferred from the
Army to veterans hospital" and
why the Government won't pay part
of the cost if man wants to buy a
better artificial limb than the one
the Government gives him.
When the men at Walter Reed
where 1t. Body is a patient, heard
he was to speak to Legion group,
he said, they begged him to urge the
Legion to Investigate the Veterans
Administration, which he described
as unwieldly and tied up with red
tape.
1t. Boody, who went overseas in
May, 1943, has been back year.
He said he applied for his insurance
six months ago, and last month re-
ceived a card acknowledging the ap-
plication He has been told by more
seasoned veterans that it may be
more than a year before payment is
made.
Stating that he owes his life to
the Red Cross and the Army Medical
Corps, 1t. Body praised the med
ical corpsmen as the unsung heroes
of the war, and credited them with
saving the large percentage of
wounded who survive. He added
that the treatment in Army hos
pitals leaves nothing to be desired.

Along With growing pressure by
management to 60 into peacetime
production is trend by war plant
workers to drift into nonWar jobs.
The reason may be in part the desire
to have a permanent job in hand
before the war ends and the labor
market is glutted.
In the four preceding articles we
have told of the plans of the joint
chiefs Of staff for turning the full
power of the United States against
Japan as soon as possible after vic
tory in Europe. Those plans will
have tremendous meaning to the
everyday lives of all for 18 months
or two years after We day.
Pipeline to Pacific.
Perhaps the best way to explain
this is to tell about the pipeline to
the Pacific"
We have had two pipelines, one to
Europe, one to the Pacific. On the
day Of victory over Germany one of
the greatest single tasks will be to
switch the European pipeline around
to the Pacific
For a while almost everything
that has been moving to Gen Eisen-
howers armies will go instead to the
Pacific. This increased flow from
the United States to the Pacific will
continue at high level until a sort
of secondary pipeline can be opened
from Europe to the Pacific.
First to gush out to the Pacific
will be new goods produced in the
United States. Then, out of the
secondary pipeline, will flow the
guns, tanks. shells, planes and all
the other things which have not
been used up in Europe and which
are still useful against the Japa-
nese.
Will Revamp Program.
There you have the general pic
ture, as Army and Navy leaders see
it, of the need for continued high
production during the first months
after Germany's defeat. 1t is not the
detailed picture, however. for as
quickly as possible the whole pro-
duction program will be revamped
to fit the particular needs of the
Pacific war.
For instance, there should be little
need for great quantities of the
heaviest tanks against Japans light
armor. Requirements for short
range bombers and certain types of
fighter planes will diminish This
doesn't mean that the workers in
plants producing such items won't
be needed
The demand for vehicles to re-
place those lost in Europe will be
great. Pacific battles will take their
toll of ordnance and ammunition.
If few light and medium bombers
are required, more long-range
bombers and carrier-borne planes
will be needed.
The Army will increase its take
Of cotton goods for clothing and
tents. 1t will need more rockets
and rocket-launching equipment,

Although she is native of the Lone Star State, Constance Moore is a triple-star personality in Hol- lywood.
 Now co-starring with Dennis O'Keefe in Republics Earl Carroll Vanities" at the Strand Theater, she is acclaimed for her artistry on the stage, over the air and in pictures.
 She is a singing star, an accom- plShed dancer and versatile dramatic actress, acknowledged by the critics in all three mediums.
 Miss Moore sang her way into show business in her native Texas through an adroit arrangement with her godfather, John Marvin, owner Of chain of drug stores. Doubt ful that her mother and her step- father, J. c. Smith, of Dallas, would consent to professional career she managed to get an addition through Marvin's influence.

 There is something sad about seeing these young girls, going to movies together, having cokes to- gether, when in peace time they would be dating and having the fun girls their age should have.
 But they might not feel quite SO Woe-begone, quite so much like the overlooked generation if they would keep this thought in mind Ihelr young men, their future hus- bands are also overseas.
 And even though they don't yet Know the name of the man they are waiting for, they are only wait Ing just like the war wives and the girls engaged to servicemen.
 BRIGHTER FUTURE
 If they look at it that way. the picture is little brighter, For they can think, like the girls who are already engaged or married to servlcemen, of the things they can do to make themselves into the kind of young women the men will want TOT wives when they get home.
 The single young men overseas are thinking lot about these typical American girls who speak their language. They are anxious to get home and look them over and ind the right one. So life isn't actu- ally passing these girls by, because of the war.
 It Is just making them go through a period of waiting. And waiting is what most women have to do in war tlme-even the ones that the teen- age girls regard as lucky, because they have already found their men.

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Prevent Chinline From Sagging With This Triple Threat Program
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Exercises to keep the throat line youthful-and they will-are the kind that should never be taken up with zeal, then dropped. Once contracted muscles are loosened and heightened, exercise must be kept up or flesh is apt to sag; skin to pleat.
 So, warned not be light O love about these, hore are three exercises that preserve the fluid line from collarbone to chin. Be- fore you start muscle-moving, cream your skin.
 All set? For Number One, raise chin and throat out lower jaw. Now shuttle lower jaw backward and forward, and make an effort to move chin muscles.
 For Number Two stand up- right to "chin" a mantel or shelf by pulling forward to touch the object while with hands clasped behind you, you pull your body back.
 For Number Three, chew an imaginary wad of gum, giving your throat muscles workout until you can be sure that it's moving day for the whole set underlying chin and jaws.
