report of the Senate committee, but
it is part of it. Chairman Mead,
Democrat. of New York and his COL
leagues called for an industrial mo-
hilization plan broad enough to let
all possible foreign aggressors
know that I'VE intend to defend
ourselves at all times and are fully
capable of doing So" One cause of
past wars, the report said is that
aggressors were not deferred from
war because they did not believe
that this country could mobilize
quickly and effectively.
Mr.. Nelson is reported to favor a
plan which would go well beyond the
Army's old 'M-Day" plan for World
War II, by charting mobilization
down to the roots of the countrys
economic, material and manpower
resources.
Associates of the former produc-
ton chief believe he will use what
ever influence he possesses to see
that the needs of a strong civilian
economy are taken into account in
future defense planning, in order to
avoid the constant struggle between
civilian and military interests which
hampered the World War II effort.

Population Peak
OF 165,O00,
Forecast for u. S.
BY the Assoeintsd Press

The Census Bureau took a long
hard look into the future yesterday
and came up with the forecast that
the United States will reach a popu-
lation peak of 165, 100000 in 1890.
The forecast was prepared in CO.
operation with the Scripps Founda-
ton for Research in Population
Problems and extends to the year
1000, when the population will have
receded to an estimated 3,177 900
persons. The 1946 population is
estimated at 140,840,000.
The present estimates represent
assumptions of medium mortality
medium fertility, and no net immi-
grafton between 1945 and 200O," the
Bureau said.
There will still be more women
than men in the United States in
the year 1000. The forecast SAYS
the excess of women will be approx
mately ,000-about what it is
now.

New Industrial M-Doy Plan

something broader" than a pack

Mr.. Nelson was not in Washington,

In broad outline, this is the aim
of the standby program which
some have reported will come to

/. To insure that machinery for
making key munitions is kept in
a Government pool, or stored and
cared for in the war plants when
the plants are sold to private in
dustry.
2. To devise legal means of keep
ing a string on" the plants and
equipment. especially those produc-
ing key materials and parts not
ordinarily used in peacetime in
dustry.
3. If necessary. to keep military
production line ready for use even
in plants which otherwise have
been reconverted to peace.
4. To select such plants geo.
graphically so that the whole pro-
gram will provide a strategic net
work of war industry
5. To decide what funds will be
needed by the Army and Navy to
maintain the network, to recon-
mend needed legislation, and to
work rapidly and in close co-opera-
ton with the War Assets Admins
tration, in order to prevent needed
plants from being sold as surplus

its strings"

officials generally do not believe
it will be necessary, for instance,
to keep a tank running now and
then down a separate assembly
line in an automobile factory; the
main thing, they say, is to have
the machinery in readiness at or
near the plant where it was used
in wartime, and to see that highly
strategic plants are not so re-
modelled as to make them useless
for military production.
This is not the broad industrial

predicts, motorists are going to be
grateful for the sand bins now deco
rating the city's hills.
William A. Xanten, city refuse
superintendent who Is also respon-
sible for snow removal, has some
apprehensions about blowing up the
snow and hauling it way, but he
feels the city is in better shape on
sanding than ever before.
The department has had no new
snow equipment since before the
war, Mr.. Xanten explained. AS for
manpoWer, he added, with so many
men employed, it's doubtful he will
get many to apply for a few days
work.
But sanding Is something else

agreements signed with Is corner

tors, strategically located on slop-

their hills are sanded whenever

House Fight Prospects
Wane on Leadership
And Reorganization
BY the Associated Prssss

Prospective House fights over re-
organization and the Democratic
leadership appeared to have dis
solved today in a new harmony
wave on Capitol Hill.
There also were signs that the
Republican leadership controversy
may be settled without a pitched
battle.
The last obstacle to complete ac-
ceptance of the Congressional Re-
organization Act was removed when
high-ranking members of the House
Naval Affairs Committee conceded
they could not block the consolida-
ton OF their group and the Military
Affairs Committee into a single
committee on armed services.
There will be no floor fight
against the merger" Representative
Cole, Republican, of New York told
reporters.
Vinson Won't Fight Merger.
Associates quoted Representative
Vinson, Democrat, of Georgia as
feeling the same way.
MIR. Vinsen now is chairman of
the Naval Affairs Committee. Mr..
Cole, as top Republican member,
would have succeeded him in the
new Congress. They had been ex-
pected to lead the fight against the

cratic floor leadership between Rep
resentative Mccormick of Massa-
chusetts and an undesignated
Southern candidate likewise waned
Southern Democrats who had
talked of opposing Mr.. Mccormack
in the event Speaker Rayburn sticks
to his present intention not to ac-
cept the floor generalship, said pri-
vately they doubted they would
carry on the fight.
"If Rayburn wants Mccormack,
and it seems that he does, we can't
beat him." one influential South
erner commented.

Republicans say that by the time
their party caucus is held, probably
on January 2, there may be only

Halleck of Indiana.
So far, Mr. Hallecks rivals include
Representatives Jenkins and Brown
of Ohio and Dirksen of Illinois, with
