British Inefficiency
Snar|ing Production,
U. 5. Expert Reports
BY the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-British
coal mining and manufacturing in
dustries are snarled in net of in
efficient management, old equipment
and antiquated techniques, Harold
Won Thaden, United States indus
trialist, said today after a four
month inspection of mines and fac
tories In England, France, Belgium
and the Netherlands.
British industry" he stated,
must abandon horse and buggy
methods for modern production
techniques.
Probably the quickest and best
way to put England on her feet
industrially would be to ship over
American engineers and business
men and place them in key posi-
tions.
Supplying England with dollars
is no cure. The dollars must be
spent the way a business firm in the
United States would spend them !:
to achieve maximum output through
use and development of the most
efficient methods of production" "
Morale Low, He Says.
The morale of British workers, and
coal miners in particular, is far lower
than that of workers in France,
Belgium or the Netherlands, he
said. In the latter countries, he
emphasized, there is a will to work
that is almost totally lacking in
England.
Mr.. Won Thaden is director OF
the Hewitt Co. and executive
vice president Of the company's
Robins Conveyors, Inc. division. He
is a specialist in the mechanical
movement of coal, ores, and materi-
ais generally. In World War II, he
was technical advisor to Warren
Pearson, then head OF the Import
Export Bank.
During his four month trip, he
explained he talked with coal min
.ers, factory hands, foremen, top
management, Government officials
and bankers. He discussed produc-
tion problems at all levels.
Finds Belgium Is Ahead.
Belgium is making the best show
ing in production OF any country
I entered" Mr.. Won Thaden con-
tinued.
working conditions there COM
pared favorably with the United
States. The country is alive, in
strong contrast to the leaden at
mosphere of England.
Management and labor respect
each other and pull together"
an Holland and France the going
is a little tougher but in each coun-
try there is a willingness to work,
and work hard, to get a job done"
He suggested that one reason for
greater labor productivity in the
continental countries he visited was
the fact that a comparatively wide
variety OF consumer goods was avail
able for purchase.
I'm England there's nothing to
buy.
"In Belgium, for instance, and to
a lesser degree in France and the
Netherlands, the shops are filled
with goods. The ability to spend
money for more than the bare ne
cessities of life acts as a strong
incentive to work"

with presentations Of jackets to
the all-star team and the outStand-
ing player trophy to Jan Jankowski,
fast ball hurler who helped hoist st.
Anthony's to the league champion
ship.
Jan, who has been playing for
Father John Dressel's st. Anthony's
nine for three years, began at first
base with no intention of changing
over to the mound.
I'VE didn't even know he could
pitch until this year. Father Dresel
explained. I'VE were having little
practice one day and couple of
our warm-up pitchers failed to
show up. So Jan filled in. He has
a beautiful fast ball and won every
game he pitched this year, including
a no-hit$er and couple of two
hitters."
Jan, who is the son of the Central
High School football coach. will be
going to St. Johns this year.
Johnny Byrne, another st. An
thongs player who made the all
star team, was doubly honored when
he was given the Mike Calnan
trophy for being the outstanding
athlete and gentleman over the
year.
Father Dressed has nothing but
praise for young Byrne, who was the
key man on the St. Anthony's base
ball, football and basketball teams.
According to Father Dressed,
Byrnes was triple-threat full-back,
the spark to the baseball team and
the best floor man on the basketball
team.
I'VE came into the football league
with only 10 days practice as sub
stitute for a team which dropped

Thousands Of Dead Fish
Washed Up on Long Island
Bx the Associated Press

WOODMERE, N. Y, Aug. 80
Tons of dead fish, nearly all of them
with jagged throat wounds, were
washed up today along a 3-mile
stretch of bathing beach on Long
Islands South Shore.
The fish, nonedible mossbunkers
(menhaden) ranging in size up to
one and one-half pounds, f1oated
ashore by the thousands from Long
Beach to the tip of Silver Point
Beach. Huge f1ocks of seagulls
massed miles offshore indicated that
additional thousands of fish were on
the way in.
Lifeguards and other bathing re-
sort personnel theorized that an
ocean-going trawler may have been
forced to dump its catch because of
a failure in its refrigeration ma
chinery or some other emergency.
They based their belief on the
slashed throats-an initial step in
processing fish aboard fishing YES
sells. The mossbunker Is valuable
for its oil and its use in fertilizer.

Elizabeth Is Hunting
New Home After Fire
Races Bridal Estate
By the Associofed Press

LONDON, Aug. 80. - Princess
Elizabeth joined the ranks of British
brides-to-be seeking homes tonight.
Her palatial Sunninghill Park estate
stood roofless and Quilted after a
midnight fire Of unexplained origin.
Supt. John Crombie of the Berk-
shire Criminal Investigation De-
partment discarded theories the
blaze might have been a case of
arson inspired by political motives,
and declared he was satisfied mo
suspicious circumstance" were in
volved.
Servants Quarters Undamaged.
An unofficial theory was that a
lighted cigarette may have been
dropped into a rubbish pile by one
Of the workers engaged in remodel
ing the 25-room Georgian mansion
which predates the American
Revolution
Only the servants quarters escaped
damage as the blaze, fought from
midnight to dawn by rs firemen,
spread through most of the house.
Although no estimate of the dam
age was given. it was admittedly
heavy, and authorities feared 1t
might be impossible to repair the
mansion suitably-by November 20,
scheduled date of the wedding of
Princess Elizabeth and 1t. Philip
Mountbatten.
South Wing Burned Out.
The south wing, which was being
reGecorated for the royal couple,
was burned out, and the roof. over
the entire building was razed.
Numerous temporary abodes were
suggested for the royal couple. AS
one alternative residence the London
Star proposed Bagshot Park, the
former home Of the Duke of Con-
naugh and almost equidistant with
Sunninghill from the royal resi-
dence at Windsor Castle.
"It came a close second when the
King decided on Sunninghill," the
Star said.
Other possible candidates included
Kensington Palace, the London
birthplace of Queen Victoria; st.
James's Palace or part of the
