ManyGern1an WarSecrets
Unearthed By Americans

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26-(R-
Anti-radar coatings for submarines
and synthetic butter made from
coal were among Germany's elmer
war secrtes" unearthed by Allied
scientists, the Office of War In
formation reported today.
Many of the Nazi Developments
were being adopted for use against
Japan when the war ended, Owl
said, adding that many could be
applied to postwar use and that
some processes might shortly
make some American technical
processes obsolete and outmoded. ;"
The report based on disclosures
by the British and American tech
meal men who followed combat
troops closely into the battered
Reich-said without amplification
that the Germans had m d e
"significant progress" in the devel-
opment of an atomic bomb and
that they. fIad: $3.50

missile with a possible range OF
5000 miles, designed to span the
Atlantic in II minutes.

for new war gases that they hoped
would prove more deadly than any
chemical yet developed.
3. Developed a system of radar

coverings and coatings for submar.

4. Employed processes for syn
thetic rubber manufacture which
now are being made available to
U. S. manufa cturers.
5. Produced a synthetic butter
from coal, and also from coal made
beverage and industrial alcohol,
aviation lubricants, soaps and
gasoline. The report said the Ger
man formula might make it
possible eventually to produce a
gasoline from coal that would "cost
little more than the standard pet
roleum product
6. Developed liquid propellants
to prevent the detection of the
wake of torpedoes and designed
air torpedoes of the Skip" type.
But the report said that while the
Nazi secrets would have saved the
Allies many millions of dollars for
research and scientific develop
ment if The war had continued
through 1915 or longer, they didn't
do the Germans much good.
German invention was far ahead
of her capacity to translate theory

Once, in Cologne, a team of ex.

eH-Wingers and
Right -Wingers

There's good deal more to the battle
over Henry A. Wallace than appears on the
surface. Once upon time he gained prom
inence by killing several million little pigs
in order to improve the hog markets. About
the same time he wrote silly series of
articles entitled (Which Way, America"
which went about the wrong way. AS
Secretary of Agriculture he manipulated
millions of dollars of unnecessary loans to
farmers-but the farmers were basically an
honest group, and most Of the money has
been paid back. Nevertheless Wallace
proved at that time that he was carrying
on most of his work by guess-work Wal
lace is infatuated with the idea that the
taxpayers money should be spent right, and
left, so that everybody might have some
folding-money-whether they earn it or not.
He is pliable to the demands of all sorts of
dreamy-notions concocted by men like Sid
ney Hillman. In fact his record up to date
shows that he has out-Bryaned William
Jennings Bryan. In behalf of both of these
gentlemen it has always been admitted that
they were mice fellows"

Up TO The People

The industries of the United States have
just started job that deserves unrestrain-
ed commentator. Thousa of them,
through the National Industrial Informa-
ton Committee, have joined in the great
est international campaign to the people
ever attempted 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-
duction and employment, was secured to
act as unit in presenting program to the
public on the job industry must do and will
do in meeting what are commonly called
postwar problems. AS matter of fact, they
are the problems that we have all faced
since the world began, of earning our daily
bread and butter. But never before has in
dustry, in clear and concise language tried
to show the people where the public in
terest in helping to maintain conditions
conducive to investment, and employment
and production, is greater than the interest
OF any industry involved.
In series of advertisements that is
running throughout the nation, the Ma
tisnal Industrial Information Committee is
endeavoring to make clear to the wage
Garner, the capitalist, the housewife and the
employer, that there is no mythical means
of making jobs either by industry or the
government-that it is the people them
selves who, by their own acts, create the
conditions that make or destroy employ
ment, 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
have the solution of industrial problems that
create employment, in their own hands.
Industry in the United States repre-
sents America-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 tremendous job in
focusing public attention on this issue

Postwar Employment

at is the responsibility of business
enterprise to translate market opportuni-
ties into employment and production"
President Roosevelt said in his recent bud
get message, and the public generally, and
businessmen In particular, will unheSitat-
ingly agree with the statement.
Business has long recognized its respon-
sibility for translating market opportunities
into production and jobs, and has long since
taken steps to carry out its obligation. The
fact is that what the President said in a
general way, industry already had said in
detail when it pledged itself to initiate "a
process of prosperity" in the postwar era
BY increasing production, by lowering prices
to increase consumption, and by maintain
ing high wages to raise the buying power
of employees, industry will activate it's
pledge.
For employment and production" do
not make up the full process of prosperity"
Without sufficient consumption, the things
we make will gather dust and rot in ware
houses Since industry's war record leaves
no question of its ability to increase pro-
duction to any level necessary, the question
of consumption becomes all-important It
is just as necessary to increase the oppor-
tunity for all to buy as it is to increase the
opportunity for all to have jobs and earn
So industry proposes to take definite
steps to increase the opportunities for all
to buy, after victory is won. First of these
is to put on the market the finest products
that can be made at the lowest prices for
which they can be sold Business intends
to do this through full utilization of its tech
biological know-how. 1t will be done without
penalizing wage rates, because industry
knows it cannot sell its products to work
erS who earn only starvation wages.

Loafers and Hoarders

The Mead Committee has made public
glaring examples of loafing on the Job and
labor boarding.
Stories of a similar nature from unof-
fetal sources have long been common
knowledge Private citizens can recount
from their own experience, disgraceful ex-
amples of deliberate loafing on war Jobs.
Many conscientious workers have Quit war
jobs because they could not stand the waste
Of time they were required to endure.
The answer to criticism of labor loafing
and labor boarding is always, "We have pro-
duced the goods" That may be true, but
at what price! How much more could
have been produced otherwise! We have
now reached the point where both money
and man-hours are growing searcer Let us
hope that if the Mead Committee is not
able to penalize or punish labor loafers or
labor hoarders, that revelations which it
can make will arouse the nation and shame
the offenders into correction of their ways.

The Press i'm the
Postwar Period

This is day when some of the groups
that count heaviest on the press to keep
people informed as regards their activities
also attempt to minimize the influence Of
newspapers on public opinion. Thus it is
refreshing indeed to find organizations deep
rooted in real American traditions recog-
nizing the true value and high calibre of
American newspapers.
A case in point is The American Legion.
It's National Commander, Edward N. Scheib-
erling, in a timely and important address
before the New York State Publishers AS
ISOLATION, pictured the crucial conditions
facing the United States and a world now
closely knit together and said:
"With the traditional foresight that is
characteristic of the American press, news
papers are alert to these conditions. They
are rendering valuable wartime service,
both in keeping our people informed and in
pointing to sound policies and programs
necessary to the maintenance Of our way
of life This service is all the more impor
tant when consideration is given to the diff
ficulties of paper shortages, censorship re-
strictionS and manpower and material prob
lens.
"The wartime contributions of the press
on the homefropt, and the courageous Serv-
ice of war correspondents in the thick of
battle, should be constant reminder that
a free press is assurance that Democracy
lives. In no other country in the world do
we have the high calibre of metropolitan
and hometown newspapers that we have in
the United States.
at is my earnest hope that when we
have completed the production job on the
homefront; when our armed forces are In
Berlin and Tokyo, newspapers will devote
the same attention to safeguarding the peace
and assuring homefront status for vet
Grams that they have given to the war;"
Commander Scheiberling can be assured
that in the postwar period the newspapers
will "carry on" as they have in wartime.
And such expressions of confidence as his
are certain to have heartening effect on
newspaper editors who seek to serve their
country and their communities.

the towering peaks Of Mauna Kea
and Mauna Loa. Maui, pronounced

appeared from view, and I pressed
my nose against the planes window
to see what I could see. There,
spread out before me, was the mag

clouds reared the mighty head of
Haleakala - "Hah-lay-ah-kah-lah"

Although Kiluea Crater was the

Haleakala was the largest crater

Keep En- Rolling

The bulk of Americas civilian auto
mobiles must be kept running if a national
breakdown in transportation is to be avoid
ed. The tendency to neglect such details as
recapping tires in time to salvage castings,
can be calamitous.
The American Automobile Association
states that passenger cars registered in 194l
totaled approximately 100000. The reg
istration figure for the end of 1914 is esti-
mated at little over 25,00O0OO. That means
there has been loss of approximately
100000 cars since Pearl Harbor.
According to a recent reliable survey,
automobiles are now going off the road at
the rate of more than 5000 day. Twenty
five per cent of the cars remaining on the
road are II years of age or older; So per
cent OF the total are years of age or older.
If greater numbers in these groups are
taken from the highways in coming months,
we may quickly descend to, or below, the
100000 level which has been estimated
as the rock-bottom figure for essential needs.
The situation becomes all the more COM
polling because there is no likelihood of
getting new car production in the spring
OF 1915, as was freely predicted few months
ago. We shall be lucky if we get produc-
ton in the latter part of 1945
Every automobile owner has definite
obligation to keep his car in the best DOS
Sible condition and to hoard the priceless
miles on his speedometer.

He next approached the Michigan
