Back To Peace
Jobs To Move
With Rapidly

Washington-Although tn e
Japaneae surrender offer found
Washington officials with frag.
mentary plans for shifting the
nation to civilian production,
and industry will he compelled
to mark time until new govern
ment policies clarity the situa-
ton, employment will not fall
below the prewar levels even in
the worse part of the final recon-
version phase.
This is the prediction of the
National Association of Manu-
facturers, based on survey of
LOO manufacturing concerns
throughout the country. Re-
suits of their reports have been
applied to employment data for
manufacturing as a whole.
Figures reveal 60 per cent of
our manufacturing concerns have
no reconvcrsion problem and will
face no delays on that account.
Only II per cent of all manufac-
turers will require more than 80
days to start peacetime produc-
ton.
The great majority of lay-off
due to reconversiou will involve
unemployment of very short dur
ation-varying from one day to
four weeks, the survey points
out. Workers who might be un-
employed for more than 30 days
number less than one and one
half million.
Careful analysis of the time
required to reconvert in situa-
tions where the changeover will
take more than 30 days indicates
that most of these million and
half workers will be back on the
job within IL weeks from the
start of recoonversior.
Manufacturers have foun d
time somehow. in spite of their
record-breaking war production,
to do much basic work toward
finding tools and factory space
for normal production, setting up
and altering lay-outs and assem-
bly, lines, and rounding up the
skilled labor necessary to start
making civilian goods.
The wars end will free vast
supplies of formerly scarce ma
terials, even though government,
controls are lifted gradually.
Restrictions on heavy use of
steel may be continued for
month or two, and it may be
even longer before lumber is
freed. But these are the excep-
ions.
Nor will the present OPA pric
ing policy stand for very long.
Businessmen say it must be
broadened if industry is to pro-
duce for the civilian market and
provide jobs.

Wage Board Studies
Revision Of Hour Law
For Women Here

Broad-scal revision of the Dis

tually unchanged since 1914. Is being
studied by the Minimum Wage and
Industrial Safety Board here, &C
cording to Miss Edith J. Rieger, ex-
ecutiye secretary, but no plan has
been submitted for the revision as
yet"
Fewer than SO per cent Of the
women employed In the District
come under the law, Miss Riegsr re-
vealed.
The board Is concerned over the
fact the present law does not ade-
quately meet the needs Of the day"
she said.
Women covered currently are
those employed in manufacturing
mechanical or mercantile establish
ments, laundries, hotels, restaurants,
telegraph, telephone establishments
or Offices, and in express or transpor-
tation companies. Those not COW
cred, Miss Rieger said, include wom-
en- employed in banks, doctors and
lawyers offices, boarding and room
ing houses. institutions. apartment
houses and certain utilities
At least seven bills have been in
troduced in Congress in the past 10
years to change the current law, she
said, but the only one passed was
an amendment allowing the board to
issue permits for women in essential
war work to work overtime. This
went into effect June l, 1943 and
will expire June 80, 1916. .
Present regulations call for women
to work only an eight-hour day and

Man Held in Staying
OF Michigan Woman
S|ashes Wrists in Jail
BY the Associated Press.


PONTIAC, Mich, Nov. 9.--Sheriff
Edward K. Thomas announced to-
day that Edward Bellm, held for
questioning in the Staying of Mrs.
Alberta Rose Young, had slashed his
wrists in the county jail here and was
taken to the Pontiac General Hos
pital.
The hospital said Bellm,s condi-
tion was so serious a blood trans
fusion was ordered.
The sheriff said Bellm, who yes
terday underwent a lie detector
test in the Staying investigation, had
been left alone only five minutes
when it was discovered he had cut
both wrists.
Sheriff Thomas said Bellm had
written four notes before he was
found with blood streaming from
his hand. The sheriff made public
one, addressed to "all the people of
the State Of Michigan" which said {:
Il did not kill Mrs. Alberta Rose
Young"
Knew of Finances.
Bellm had been arrested after he
had given authorities considerable
information concernig his knowl-
edge of Mrs. Young's financial af-
fairs. An inspection of Mrs. Young's
bankbooks showed her account had
dropped from more than $500 to
81 68 in few weeks.
Following Bellm's assertion that
Mrs. Young had given money to
Lawrence ]. Theis, a fellow factory
employe, first-degree murder war
rant was issued for Theis. Theis,
arrested in New York, however, es-
tablished what appeared to be an
air-tight alibi.
The sheriff had planned to con-
front Bellm with Theis on the lat
ter's arrival today from New York
where he waived extradition.

This force would include 25 groups

groups of tactical reconnaissance
planes, and other groups of night

-. From Leonard Lyons column
But for the OPA, that's what we'd be up
against today in this country -. the same
type ofrunawayin imitation as in China, France,
or Mexico . the same type of runaway in
hation that we ourselves suffered in every
war from the Revolution down through
World WarI.
OF course many prices have risen. Many
goods are hard to get, and quality isn't what
it was. But for all this, the price level as
whole is about where it was in, 1929, and
nobody despaired of the value Of the dollar
in those days.
Today an American dollar is still dollar
and not cheap form of wallpaper. For that
we may give thanks that we have the OPA.
Despite all this, the OPA has been attacked
bv small handful of men.
Fortunately, this handful does not speak
for the businessmen of America. Business
men know that the mistakes of OPA have
been many, but far fewer than anyone had
right to expect They know that big job
of work has been done. and done exceed
ingly we'll . in the emergency of war.
But it is in the year that lies ahead Of us
that we face the acid test. The war with Ger
many has ground to stop. Many people
have fallen into the comfortable belief that
the threat of imitation is past and the need for
price CONTROLS just about over. No more dan
gerous error could be made.
We cannot forget that almost half of the
World War imitation took place after the
Armistice, after the shooting stopped, and
after the wartime controls were scrapped. 1t
was the imitation after the Armistice that set
the stage for the paralyzing deaation, the
bankruptcy, the unemployment, and the
ruin of 1920 and 1921.
If we permit price control to break dowp
through public apathy or through surrender
to the selfish few, we shall be repeating the
tragic blunder of 1919. We shall be throwing
away all the economic gains we have won
with so much strain and effort We shall be
preparing an economy ruined by imitation to
greet our boys when they come back from
overseas.
In our own company we know that price
control is no bed of roses. We don't enjoy,
any more than the next fellow, the question:
naires, the reports, the irksome regulation
of every step of our business. But we keep
remembering what happened in the last war.
We know what will happen this time if prices
get out of hand. If that happens, it will mean,
not petty annoyances, not inconvenience :.
it will mean ruin ruin for business, ruin
for everyone.
