SALEM NEWS

be substituted i'm increasing items,
copper is still a very essential
metal. L. S. production falls four
hundred thousand tons short Of
our needs. With the duty suspend
ed we can now buy from Canada,
Peru, and Mexico as well as from
| Chile where the greater part of
our import comes.
THERE is considerable disap-
L pointment being expressed
! that little heed has been given so
far to increasing the man-hour
| output SO necessary to meet the
wage increase demand. Reports in
| dicate that overall output is lower
in both durable and non-durable
goods industries than in 1910 and
l941. Current reports tell US that
| the swing upward has begun,
which would be encouraging, but
there is little indication so far Of
improvement since the summer of
l946. The result is that the labor
cost element in unit production is
still rising rather than declining
in the so-called "soft goods in.
! dustries. Even in the big durable
goods industries labor costs have
declined very little. In spite Of
this, wage increases are contin-
uing. We are told that profits are
over-large and can stand drastic
pruning. Possibly so. But if, as is
stated, these profits are from large
volume of sales rather than from
big profit margins, must we not
guard against the moment when
sales will decrease and economies
will have to be made which will
undoubtedly see fewer persons
employed?
A lR travel is expected to be very
"A heavy this summer. Three L.
S. lines and four European lines
share the European business. the
American lines covering n per

being flown to Europe each week
with an average plano load of
from 80 to 50 persons. Accidents
are unbelievably few.
HAVE you found yourself UNI
able to accept the talk of a

formerly of Belle Valley, who left

Darling, Percy, how we miss you,
No one will ever know,
Only God, and you, sweet angel,
Knows why I have been so blue.
When you left us that sad morn

1t seems so long ago,
Since I've heard your sweet voice
saying,
Hi-yah, Mother, I love you too.
Guarding angel, son be near me,
This and every day;
Watch my every footstep,
AS l journey on my way.
And I'll be hoping and praying,
That we will meet again someday,
When Jesus calls for me
Until then, rest in peace, my loved
one.

Symington Says U. 5.
Air Fleet Could Last
Only Few Days in WaI
BY the Associated Press

The United States Air Force is
bringing $50 planes out of storage,
to build its combat fleet up to more
than 1000 aircraft.
But today's air fleet would be
sufficient to wage war for only a
few days, said Air Secretary Syming-
ton, if this country should suddenly
be plunged into conflict.
Mr.. Symington said demobiliza-
ton has brought the Air Force to
such low point that it would be
adequate to maintain war for only
a short time before dispersion of
strength and losses would require
reserves of men and aircraft.
His views were expressed in an
address yesterday to Sigma Delta
Chi. national journalistic society. 1t
conceded with an announcement by
the Air Force that about $50 B-29
bombers and 400 P-518s and PAT
fighters are being drawn from
reserves.
will Have IS Groups.
BY the end of next month the Air
Force will have IS groups, the limit
attainable under present appropria-
tions, In full operation.
At this time, without the addition
of the reserve planes, the Air Force
has approximately $500 first-line
combat aircraft. This force is COM
posed OF about 1900 bombers, 1900
fighters and 400 reconnaissance air.
craft.
approximately 10000 Air Force
planes Of all types are in storage.
At the end of the war, the United
States had slightly more than 5000
B-29 Super Fortresses. About 1900
of the B-29s were set aside for
"cocooning," the long-tcrm storage
plan. Out Of the other $500 came
the postwar operating force and the
so-called picked" stock, from which
requirements are drawn as opera
tional planes wear out or are lost
by accident.
Needs Manpower.
The Air Force said the $50 being
added to the first-line force will
come from the picked" fleet, the
more permanently cocooned remain
ing untouched.
While the Air Force stated that 1t
would have the IS groups fully op-
irrational" by the end of the year, il
will not have the manpower needed
for all branches Of the Air Force. It
will have crews for the IS groups
but men for other supporting serv-
ices will be lacking. The Air Force
does not expect to reach its planned

Navy Captain Says New War
Mould Find us. Short of Men

BOSTON, Nov. Is (P.-Navy Capt
F. L. Mcdaniel expressed belief yes
terday that in the event of another
war the United States would never
again be able to luxuriate In an ex-
cess of manpower."
He told the Association of Military
Surgeons the Nation must look
toward preparation of our soldiers
and sailors for the psychological
stress inherent in the use of new
and terrifying weapons"
1.-The next national emergency will
undoubtedly call for mobilization Of
our entire population the captain
said. Our selection and training
must be aimed at conservation OF
personnel"
Capt. Mcdaniel declared:
THE American boy today is grow
ing up ina culture which stresses
individual freedom and in a sense
encourages responsibility in an
atomic age which increasingly de-
mands the greatest possible degree
of group decision and group action
to meet the stresses of future war
fare"
