Army SinlpIifies
Purchasing Plan

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. IS -
Taking a page from its exper-
fence in the last war, the Quar-
termaster Corps has made con-
siderable progress in its indus
trial mobilization plan for food,
textiles, clothing and equipage
to bring manufacturers to peak
production for the armed forces
without costly delays and bot
tlenecks, it was learned last
week
Showing a blueprint of how
the plan would work, officers Of
the New York Quartermaster
Purchasing Office stressed that
by simpliiication of the plan
ming operation they hoped to
achieve fundamental improve
ments over the mobilization
plans previously in force.
The Army and civilian person
mel which is currently purchas-
ing for a standing Army and
Air Force Of 100000 men and
women, will do the buying in the
event of war. Purchases will be
made from two centsrs, New
York and Chicago, with district
ofacS in Atlanta, Philadelphia,
Oakland, Calf, and Boston. It
was poinlnted out that the mum
Der Of districts has been reduced
from nine to five.
The administrative branch
for the mobilization plan is in
New York and here also viii be
located the branches for tex
tiles, clothing, equipage and

TOILET

Purchasing ONCE at Ill East
Sixteenth st.
1t was recalled that failure to
set up such sample rooms in the
early days of World War II left
thousands Of manufacturers in
the dark as to what items were
needed and the possibility Of
adapting their particular skill
and equipment to manufacture
ing them.
When an Office of this kind
was set up at SCI Fifth ave,
there was a sudden rush by APP
parel and clothing manufactur-
ers which was difficult to han
die. 1t is hoped under the new
plan to avoid last-minute rush.
eS.
Under the new plan the De-
partment of Commerce will pro-
vide a service in ali its branches
to channel information to small
businessmen concerning the
products which will be pur-
chased.
The Qusrtermaster Corps
hopes to get funds to purchase
new items and for experimental
and research purposes. Data
compiled thus far on the results
Of research on textile shrinkage,

ton under the new plan would
not be so much in manpower but
in efficient buying by practical
and experienced men.
In the event of conflict, which
in their oponion If it comes
would be without advance no.
tice, the Quartermaster Corps
would be in a position to rent
office space and engage the nee
essary personnel for full scale
operation. 1t does not appear
likely that any change will be
made in the formal method of
bidding, according to ON off,
GERS, but it is conceded that an
other war would witness the i'm
mediate return Of negotiated
bids which were utilized dur
ing World War II.
The New York Office will have
q minimum Of seven business
economists to coordinate the eff
forts of the plans and analysis
branch. Part of their job will be
to assign tasks to the district
offices to obtain the information
required on specific items. Stud
les fade from these surveys will
then be returned for actual an
alysis and planning.
The men sought for these
staff jobs must have the actual
technical experience as well as
the educational qualifications
and SUFFICIENT business expert
ence to be able to talk to indus
trial leaders in their own Ian
guage.
Success Of the mobilization
plan will depend, 1t was point
ed out, on the cooperation, adj
vice, counsel and technical as
sistance which can be given by
industry. It is hoped, therefore,
that individual manufacturers
will realize the Importance Of
becoming 'plan conscious" so
that they may take the necess-
airy steps now to determine how
they may fit in.
With this aim In view, the
Quarter1naster Corps win set up

GGREENTIELD, Mass, Tues
day, Dec. "a - Two Franklin
County landlords were the tar
get Of civil suits totaIing $4,000
according to declarations filed
today. with the Clerk of the SUI
perior Court in Greenfield.
The two suits, pelievsd to be
without legal precedence, in
Massachusetts,, were filed by At
ty Benedict F. Fitzgerald, Jr., Of
Greenfield and Boston, General
Counsel of the Massachusetts,
Tenants League, in behalf Of
Raymond L. Merrigan, of South
Deerfield and Harold R. Fred
erick of MillerS Falls, both vet
Grams of the Pacific Theatre.
The veterans claim that their
wives and children were illegally
evicted from their homes in d.
rect violation of the Housing
and Rent Act of 1947."
In the Merrigan case 1t is al
legged that the landlord, the D.
M. Jewett Corp. and Delmar M.
Jewett, Selectman of the Town
of Dserfield, conspired with one
Elwin o. Truesdell, and another,
to evict the Merrigan family.
And in accordance with the con-
spiracy, housing Accommodations
in the name of the D. M. Jewett
Corp. were transferred to Trues-
dell who brought eviction pro-
ceedings which resulted in the
removal Of the Merrigan family.
Seven days after the eviction
the property was transferred
back to the Corp.
Conspiracy, Abuse of Process,
and Illegal Eviction are the
grounds relied upon for the re-
covery. Damages against the de-
fendant corporation, amounting
to $4,000 are itemized. Property
attachments, to satisfy a pos
sible recovery, totaling $4,000
have been entered against the
defendant Corp. and its Presi-
dent Delmar M. Jewett, owner
of a South Deer6eld Pickle Co,
according to a report from the
office OF Fred B. Dole, Register
of Deeds for Franklin County.
In the Fredericks case the
plaintiff alleges that the land
lord failed to register a tene-
ment as required by law, and
that she brought eviction pro-
ceedings claiming that the ten
ement was needed for her own
personal use. Shortly after the
eviction, it is alleged, that the
landlord rented the premises to
another at a higher rental in
direct violation Of the Housing
and Rent Act.

Mr.. Swartley stressed that
the worlds needs, the communi-

tertainment can all be served
more effectively with te,evision.
In reviewing the past years
activities by WBz, Mr.. Swartley
