Washington Is Rushing Plans
To Re-cOnvert Private Firms

Washington-The Government
is going all out to get private
plants back into peacetime pro-
duction-giving second emphasis
to the Government plants.
Officials believe many of the
federally owned factories will
stand idle for years to come, and
perhaps forever.
The aim now is to get the thou
sands of privately owned plants
cleared of the leftovers of NUM-
tions production, paid off for
their services, and refitted quick
ly for civilian goods manufacture
ing.
Top officials now see the pri-
vate plants as the prime key to
rapid reconversion and the prompt
opening of job opportunities for
veterans and laid-off war work.
ers. They will get first attention.
This is the intent of Lieut.. Gen.
Levin H. Campbell, Jr., former
army chief of ordnance who was
borrowed last week-almost as
soon as hostilities stopped-for a
post in the Office of War Mobili-
cation and Reconversion.
Reconversion Director John w.
Snyder shortly will name Camp
bell his deputy director for in
dustrial reconversion," it was
learned.
The big 'war baby" plants and
many lesser Federal factories
built by the Governmental a
total cost approaching Is billion
dollars-will be sold or leased as
rapidly as takers can be found.
But officials know that many
won't find buyers, because a
peacetime operator could not run
them at profit. And they see no
chance that the public could alb
sorb their vast potential output
for many years ahead, if the
plants were Government-run.
The Chrysler tank arsenal is an
example. It made transmissions
vastly larger than any civilian
vehicle could use. 1t could mass
produce steam shovels, but there
is no mass market for steam SHOW
els.
Some 80 shell loading plants, all
over the country, are of no known
usefulness. They are not built or
located to make anything that CT

OCCUPATION OF JAPAN
GOING TO BE SLOW

Okinawa-American reconnals-
sance units will enter Tokyo as
soon as practicable but observers
believed this week that troops
will not occupy the capital of ia
panese proper for weeks or even
months.
The city was ravaged by Ameri-
can air raids. One of the Japan
csc ENJOYS who went to Manila
was quoted here as saying it was
blown to HELP and that the u.
S. Army will have to look else
where for necessary headquar-
tiers and barracks facilities.
It also is believed here that it
will take as long as five months
to complete the occupation of the
Japanese mainland and that $780,
900 American troops will be land
ed by that time.
One of the chief present wor-
ries of officers in charge Of &C.
cupying forces is protecting Gen.
Douglas Macarthur when he
makes his first appearance in ia
pan. One source pointed out that
it would take only one man to
take a shot at Macarthur and
then wed all be in an awful

GEN. DE GAULLE VISITS
GRAVE OF ROOSEVELT

Hyde Park-Gen. Charles de
Gaulle, provisional President Of
France, paid a long delayed call
on Franklin D. Roosevelt this
week. ~
His face somber and evidently
masking strong emotion, he plac-
ed simple wreath of green lau-
rel on the grave of the 32nd Pres
ident of the United States in the
Rose Garden of the Roosevelt es-
tate.
1t was the best substitute pos
sible for the visit Mr.. Roosevelt
sought with de Gaulle last Janu-
airy while he was en- route home
from the Yalta conference and
which de Gaulle declined, and
for the visit de Gaulle was ar
ranging to pay Mr.. Roosevelt in
Washington at the time of his
death.

MORE CLOTHING WILL
BE AVAILABLE SOON

Neutrality-suspicious. for wom-
en- and children will be piled high
in stores by November. So will
things like sheets and towels.
Mems clothes will be less plen-
tiful.
That was the forecast by indus
try leaders and Government Of
ficialS.
1t was the brightest authorita-
tive picture yet on the clothing
outlook.
The garment prospect has
changed radically since the Jap
anese surrender.
The main factor in the change
was the unexpected speed with
which the army wiped out most
of it's plans for buying clothing
materials.
One official even said the ma
ton can look forward to a
christmas shoppers paradise" in
women's and children's clothing.
Most items of mems clothing
will be produced in good quanti-
ty.
Shirts and shorts will be pro-
duced at a rate 80 to 95 percent
of their 1889 volume, manufac-
turers predict.

OLD PEACETIME ISSUES
TO CONFRONT CONGRESS

Washington - Reminiscent of
the early days of the New Deal,
the old peacetime issues-jobs and
jobless-bounded about Capitol
Hill again this week in advance
of the reconvening of Congress.
Broad areas of conflict already
are visible as important commit
tees return to Washington to draw
the patterns of back-to-normal
legislation.
Other old timers coming back
into prominence include the ques-
ton of peacetime deficit financ-
ing, raised Friday night by Her
bert Brownell Jr., Republican ma
tional chairman, in a nationwide
broadcast, and a suggestion by
Rep. SABBATH (D-Ill), rules COM
mittee chairman to renew last
years controversial move for a
Federal ballot for servicemen.
Called from its vacation by the
urgency of redeploying the home
front from a war to peace foot
ing, Congress meets September
S. This will be its first session
since the war ended. It also will
be the first since President Tru-
man officially kicked the lid off
positions by telling reporters at a
news conference that the field is
wide open.

DIR. MCDONALD HEADS
POLIO DRIVE AGAIN

Chapel Hill-Basil O'Connor,
chairman of the --atiOnal 1nfan-
tile Paralysis Foundation, has ap-
pointed DR.. Ralph Mcdonald of
Winston-Salem, State chairman of
the annual polio campaign for the
fourth successive year, it was an
nounced this week at State cam
paign headquarters.
In accepting the appointment,
DR.. Mcdonald said plans for the
campaign already are being map
ped and that county quotas will
be announced during the Fall.
He pointed out that contribu-
lions from North Carolina citizens
last year set a new all-time high
with a total of $501,700 as COM
pared to $4,000 the previous
year.
The people of North Carolina
''have always done their full part
in the fight against infantile pa
ralysis, and the need at this time
is greater than ever before" DR..
Mcdonald said.
1--WE in North Carolina have
benefited so much from the re-
sources of the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis that
our 1916 drive will reflect our
gratitude as we'll as our interest
in helping others.

At the same time, Selective Di-
rector Lewis B. Hershey said
September draft calls would be
for $4,000 men-5O,OOO for the
