Crows Economic Club, and now
with Adcraft and Rotary put
ting on great shows, there's no
dearth OF good educational en-
tertainment.
Incidentally, al least a dozen
top executives asked for copies
of Rukeyser's speech on The
Role OF Advertising in a Chang
ing World" and they'll be avail
sble shortly.

been concentrating on critical
items which have not been forth
coming in sufficient quantities,
and, according to Mr.. Barueh, is
getting results.
SUBJECT TO CHANGE
War production is far from
standardized, and is subject to
quick change in specification and
quantities depending on the ex-
perience in battle.
1t is now apparent that the
paper work. done in advance by
theorists. was not very reliable in
giving a clue to the quantities
needed in major battles.
This is true not only of shells
and fire power, but even of such
commodities as cotton duck and
synthetic ru b Der tires. Some
months ago, there was big cut
back on cotton duck production
and now the troops are threatened
with an insufficiency of tents
The heavy tires on beachheads
moving over metal-ridden roads
have lasted about half as long as
the theorists computed.

PERSONNEL REDUCED

The present state of the over
all production schedule in 1945 is
that il will be substantially as
large as last year, but it is re-
ported that personnel in the war
plants has been reduced by
100000.
Production authorities at Wash
inGton say that at least half a
million more persons are urgently
needed in the war plants. -l
Batcheller feels that the need
is so urgent that even immediate
passage of the national service
act would not give speedy enough
relief, but calls for emergency
spotlighting of attention on the
problem by the press in all loca
ties, especially in critical wal
areas where labor shortages exist

It's a pleasure to see some of
our old friends returning to
work. Our seniority recall is
now as of April %, 1912. Those
coming in are going to work in
the pilot plant.
Last week our boss, Mr.. Wise
told the delegation which visited
him in Detroit that his company
was not interested in the main
plant, but were going to do a
large amount of tool work and
some production in the pilot
building.
We extend our deepest SYM
pathy to Herb Rahla who lost
his mother last week.
The hustle and hustle of the
boys who are moving and setting
machinery make us wonder how
reconversion is coming in other
plants. At the rate our boys are
going a lot of workers should
soon be recalled.
George Uberhoff and Tom
Mark have returned. Many of
our former employees are work
ing elsewhere and only one !
have talked to its glad he's not
back at Prop.
Fancy the CUTS of one of our
city councilman who is passing

CIO and PAC and urging the
unions run the unions and let

Joint AFL and CIO opposition

clearance program for the Dis
trict of Columbia won tenn
porary victory in the Senate last
week when Sen. Pat McCarran
ID. New sponsor of the bill,
failed to call it up for considera-
ton because of "misunderstand-
ings."
Labor's rejection of the meas
ure is based partly on the con-
tention that it does not assure
genuinely low-cost housing for
low income families and partly
on the fact that it conflicts with
national slum clearance pro-
gram, legislation for which has
