 The reason why the United States had to start SO nearly at the beginning in the procurement o the multitude of instruments needed in World War II IS fairly evident In the previous war we dld not make
 comprehensive array of equipment; much of it would have been obsolete had it been kept-and we had no facilities for storing 1t over period of years
 There were notable exceptions. In fact they were very notable because they decisive factor In the outcome of the war. We refer to the over-age destroyers several million Springfield rifles several thousand -nm cannon and machine guns which were traded to England in the summer of l94O when the U-boats were severing her oceanic felines and the Dunkerque evacuation had left the remnants of the British Army virtually without weapons.
 That experience proved if anything could that storage of weapons of is vital phase of national security It indicated too that more advanced methods of war equipment storage might pay even greater dividends in the future-not only in making this nation ready for short notice, but in deterring would-be aggressors.
 Army Ordnance finding many of the answers to the problems of indefinite storage of equipment. Some material of course be packaged by more or less conventional methods But intricate equipment which cannot be coated with grease and which would deteriorate with atmospheric changes is belngeray canned Optical instruments, fire control apparatus and the like are being sealed dramatically in containers so that they can put away and ignored until needed like can of beans in cellar pantry In fact Ordnance has devised huge drums of rust-ree metal lnto which large pieces of equipment be put the seams welded and the whole business stored in open field thus eliminating even the expense of warehousg
 Some of these methods are expensive, but they eliminate the greater expense of conventional storage and periodic overhaulng. And in the long run, con- siderng their potential value they are very cheap form of security.

in your captive mines. When you drop to 40 hours, you will net big saving in overtime. The price of scrap iron is now at ceiling. It will drop in the spring, which means more saving. Production per man went up to 10 per cent after the last war It will do the same after this war, which will save you $l00,- 100000 alone. You can't tell what your profits will be. So why not try out new increased wage scale without sharp price hike? Try it out for six months-then come back and we'll examine the whole question again. If you need price increase then we'll give it to you"

NEW TARIFF

The commissar in charge of Americas muslcal ne' James C. Petro has thought it over and decided that hereafter no American radio station shall broadcast any musical program originating in foreign country excepting Canada This, of course ends the matter, for Petrilo is the head of the American Federatlon of Musicians and it is not proper to question his decrees.
 Yet even though nothing can be done about It, there is something be said for noticing the vicious stupidity of this most recent outrage. By means of radio broadcasting the nations have been brought immeasurably closer Fully utilized, broadcastng could be tremendous influence in the direction of improved international relations. Drawing upon the talents ana traditions of various countries we could f permltted) do much through radio enrich own cultural life here in America.
 This it appears, is to be banned. The reason IS interesting According to our commissar of music, a musical broadcast from London or Vienna, or any where outside the United States and Canada is in com- petition with American musicians. And Petrillo does not like competition This latter is ndisputable His own monopoly control American music reveals his bitter hostility toward competition
 There was time quite some decades ago, when short-sighted groups of manufacturers tradtionally

trouble spots. One of the worst is India. U. s. troops in Calcutta fired on a native crowd the other day and before the melee was over four CHS were killed and 30 wounded. It wasn't the G.I.'s fault. They shouldn't be put in the middle of a dynamite-laden politi- cal situation where they have to uphold the imperialism of either the British or the Russians. Most statesmanlike portrayal of our problems with Russia and how to meet them was given Jan. 6 by Editor Herbert Elliston of the Washington Post. If our diplomats followed his advice we could save ourselves a lot of trouble. An other illustration of how the mili- tary encroach on the State Depart ment: When General Marshall went to China he insisted on put ting his own man in the State Experimentation Col. James Da- vis-to handle all his messages and contacts with other governments. Marshall even went so far as to persuade Under-Secretary Acheson to send a letter to all Government agencies informing them that mat ters pertaining to China should be cleared through Colonel Davis, thus putting him above regular civilian officials in the State Department.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
THURSDAY, JANUARY IT

This is not an important day in planetary direction but benefic as- meets dominate. Women are under kindly sway.
 HEART AND HOME
 Women in business or the profes- sions should benefit under this con figuration. The stars seems to promise romance. for all ages. Puppy love will worry the parents ot high school students. Widows will at tract young men who will be tempt ed to ignore the charms of girls.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 The seers seem to deplore too much optimism regarding national finances. There is a sign read as presaging great outlay of public funds not now contemplated. An international incident of serious pos abilities is forecast.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Inconsistencies in our foreign pol icy will bring protest and criticism Diplomats who try to fit the cap of democracy to peoples accustomed to crowned heads will know ultimate illustration.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Double-talk and double action will continue in Japan where tremendous changes in government will be ac- comphshed only with perseverance.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of surprising experiences which may for a time be disappointing but much good for- tune is promised.
 Children born on this day will be highly intelligent but lacking in self assurance. They should be carefully educated, because they have rare potentialities.

JOHN SNYDER FORGOT

Decision to give a fat hike to steel was communicated to the Cabinet at White House lunch con next day. The announcement was to be made at pm. that day.
 One hour after lunch this fact leaked to Phil Murrays steel work CTS union. Also it leaked out that fumbling John Snyder planned to announce the price hike without first getting a commitment from the steel companies as to how much wage increase they could give labor. In other words, he planned to throw away his chief bargaining power again.
 Frantically, Phil Murray's office called Secretary of Labor Schwei- lenbach.
 The Secretary of Labor is very busy today replied the young lady who guards his office. He can't see or talk to anyone this after noon"
 Tell him that mere handful of 100000 steel workers who are 1 going out on strike Monday have some ideas they want to get Co him." shot back one of Murray's aides. Finally he got through to Schwellenbach.
 It was just in time. Newsmen had gathered to receive the 4 pm. re- lease which naive John Snyder planned to issue, announcing the new price of steel without getting an agreement on wages. Schwellen-
 bach stopped the release. He got Snyder to go back and talk to
 Big Steel again-this time regard
 ing wages.
 In New York, meanwhile, the
 Stock Market boomed to new heights. News of the steel increase ], had leaked out. In press confer

STEEL SAYS "NO"

Steel leaders shrugged their shoulders.
 Bowles offered them a price in crease of S2.50 per ton to compen- sate for low pre-war prices on cer- tain types of special steel. But Big Steel leaders were convinced from their talks with John Sny- der that they could get consider ably more. He had let the cat out of the haT trat Truman could not and would not afford a strike. The AdminlstratiCns bargaining power was gone.
 So, with the battle already lost Chester Bowles went to the White House. He made no resignation threats-though some of his junior advisers had urged him to resign il he lost the imitation battle. But he did warn the President quietly fervently, that this would be tht first great break in the inflatior dyke
 If steel goes up, every other in dustry using steel will come bacl to the OPA for a price increase Bowles warned-and will be en- titled to get it. The automobile people will come back and wan higher prices So will the hardwar' people. the farm machinery people and so on down the line until yol have a whole series Of price boosts Then labor comes back for nor wage increases and imitation is or
 The President. however, ha. made up his mind
