"offset the depressing effect" OF
curtailed operations at war plants,
the monthly report of the Sixth
District Federal Reserve Bank said
today.
The bank listed as the most diff
cult reconversion problem the dis
posal Of the Southeast's aircraft,
ordnance and shipbuilding plants.
Manufacturers whose conversion
problems are essentially matter
of shifting production from war to
peacetime uses have made rapid
progress, the bank said. Major
handicap Of these industries,
notably textile establishments,
has been reluctance of workers
to go on a peacetime basis i'm
mediately, whether they served in
war plants, or in the armed SER
vices"
The problem of utilizing strictly
war-purpose plants is complicated
by the fact that large plants have
not yet been made available to
private operators and plants for
their use, therefore, are only tenta.
tive.
Disposition of the Bell Bomber
Plant at Marietta, Ca, the Bechtel.
McCone Corporation at Birming-

Vultee Aircraft Corporation at
New Orleans, La, was listed as

prise that could use the entire
establishment. Numerous firms,
however, have expressed interest
in renting portions of the approx
mately 100000 square feet OF

Vet Memorial
Hall Asked
Plan Board Backs
$1,000. 1000 Building
BY CHARLES WEBER

A long step forward in the
city'S effort 10 erect a veterans
memorial was taken Saturday
when the city plan commission
asked approval to proceed with
sketches and cost estimates for
World War Memorial Hall.
The common council is sched-
uled 10 act formally Tuesday on
the commissions request 10 in
clude the project in the citys
advance plan program.
The cost OF the large building,
which would serve as a useful
memorial" 10 the veterans of both
world wars, is estimated at ap-
proximately $7,000,000 and will
take Is months 10 build after
plans are completed and building
priorities obtained.
$500, 900 APPROVED
An appropriation OF $500, 900
was recently approved by the
council for condemnation OF a
two block area. bounded by w.
Jefferson, Griswold, Atwater and
Shelby. The memorial is planned
TO be a part Of the proposed civic
center, along the riverfront at
the foot of Woodward.
The new step was taken after
a series OF meetings last week
called by City Planner Emery and
attended by representatives of
various veterans and civic organi-
cations, the DPW, the city traf-
fic engineer. the Wayne County
Road Commission, the Port OF
Detroit Authority and the DSR.
FACILITIES INADEQUATE
James E. Frawley, chairman OF
the memorial hall commission,
pointed out that present facilities
for handling returning war vet
Grams were inadequate" and
would get gradually worse with
servicemen and women returning
at rate of l,500 month.
The step is in line with a series
of recent articles in The Detroit
Times urging that cities construct
useful, living memorials" which
would serve TO enrich the lives Of
returning veterans and their chill
dren rather than become insult
able monuments, consisting OF
statutes and rusting cannons
which soon become eyesores.
