entually, of course, this freeing
of aluminium will mean more
consumers goods on the shelves
of retail stores right in this

though miles and miles OF al

facilities for turning these into
pots and pans and vacuum
cleaners are either limited or
tied up in war work. But as
time goes on, thee itemss will
be made. Already a list of some

MORE RATIONING?--In 381
W e ll-chosen words, President
Truman has just addressed
himself to one of the natiou's
most pressing problems. The
problem: the orderly transpor-
tation of all redeployed troops
across the continent to Pacific
ports without r%atiOning civilian
travel. In the last four years,
100000 troops have travelled
cars. This enormous hegira Was
In mass movements in Pullman
the outgrowth not only of troop
movement to eastern ports, but
also travel to camps, carriage
to new training fields. Now the
Job that required four years to
do must be repeated within a
ten months period. The Pull
man company already has pit
ched into a huge program of
repair and maintenance of the
fleet of cars destined to haul
our victorious armies across the
American continent. Pullman
needs at least 1892 new workers
for its six repair shops in Chi
cago, st. Louis, Buffalo, Atlanta,
wilmington, DEL, and Rich
mond, Calf, and has been
granted a top priority by the
War Manpower commission. The
repair and maintenance pro-
gram Is ambitious, will carry
on for at least three years, thus
providing work through the re-
conversion and transition period
Unless all available cars are in
good working order, you may
see the day when civilian travel
like civilian meat and civilian
sugar, is severely rationed.
