Bill TO Spur Production
To 300 Billion Yearly
Ready for Submission
By the As.eeiotsd Press


LEGISLATION designed to increas,
Americas output Of goods ant
services to President Truman
goal of $500 ,0O0, 100000 annual!
is ready for introduction in tht
Senate today.
1T goes right down the line or
the Presidents anti-depressior
program" said one Of the sponsors
Of the bill.
Mr.. Truman is not waiting for
Congress to get the ball rolling on
the new program, which still is
drawing heavy fire from some law
makers.
At his news conference yester-
day, the President announced
plans to step up Federal buying
and construction in areas hardest
hit by the business slump.
Mr.. Truman announced he had
instructed John r. Steelman
presidential assistant, to assume
full responsibility for the program
In these areas. Mr.. Truman asked
members of the Cabinet and the
heads OF various Government
agencies to work with Mr.. Steel
man.
Sets Up Fund Of 2 Billion.
The President noted that hi!
action is in line with a section Of
his economic report Of last Mon
day which said:
There are a number of Fed.
eral programs of direct actor
or assistance to localities which
can be timed and channeled se
as to concentrate upon areas
where unemployment is heavy
without sacrifice of general ma
tional objectives."
Mr.. Truman said the program
will require public works funds
beyond those already approved or
proposed.
One of the provisions in the
Senate bill would set up $2,000.-
900, 900 unemployment emergency
reserve fund for use by the Presi-
dent in fighting joblessness.
Another section would authorize
advance planning of 100000, ,000,-
600 worth of non-Federal public
works projects to cushion the blow
of a possible depression. That's
double the planning program the
sponsors had in mind originally.
Bill Has Is Sponsors.
The bill, fashioned to carry out
the new economic program Mr..
Truman sent to Congress last
Monday. probably will be spon-
sored by about IS Senators, nearly
all of them Democrats. The group
completed the 11th and final draft
yesterday.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Truman's &C
eeptance of red ink spending and
his attack on economy advocates
continued to provoke hot criti-
ciSm.
Senator Bridges. Republican, OF
New Hampshire called the Presi-
dents program "a nightmare" for
the American people. Senator
Bridges said Mr.. Truman made a
..'political choice" in turning to
deficit financing instead of "ef1-
cheney and economy"
In biting report. Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia. a
long time advocate Of cost cutting,
said the Truman fiscal program
pointed the Nation toward "the
certain road to ruin"
Senator Pepper, Democrat. Of
Florida replied that deficit spend
ing may be the only way to avert
serious danger.

U. S. Meat consumntion

Average meat consumption per
capita in the U. S. was l55 pounds
In l947, which was the highest aver.
age since 1908. Each persons share
of meat in 1948 is estimated at 144
pounds, but that is six pounds more
than the annual average for the
year 1889, when there were no ra-
ton controls and when meat prices
were much below present levels.
Total U. S. meat consumption now
is more than 80 per cent higher
than in the late 19S0s, due to popula-
ton increase and to higher per
capita consumption.

craft, a Navy-sponsored study. DIR.
Robert L. Pigford, chairman of the
chemical engineering department
said the S12,440 ONR contract will
facilitate work for one year on a
project involving Heat Transfer
in Passages with Free Convection
and Counter Flow" on which S. A.
Guerrieri, assistant professor of
chemical engineering, is the chief
investigator. Delaware becomes the
sixth college participating in PRO
ject Squid" research, Headquarters
for the project are at Princeton
University, and the other institu-
tions working on the problems are
New York University, Purdue,
Cornell, and Brooklyn Polytechnic
Institute. DR.. A. P. Colburn, assist
ant to the president and adviser on
research at the University of Del
aware, pointed out that the cooling
of turbine blades in jet-propulsion
aircraft power plants is an urgent
problem which has claimed the at
tention of many investigators. If
satisfactory means of cooling tur-
bine blades can be developed, great
er power output from jet propul-
sion engines is possible, as well as
greater fuel economy. One of the
most promising methods, he said,
is by providing passages within the
blades through which a cooling
fluid passes-either by air supplied
at the hub and exhausted at the
tips, or by liquid contained with
in closed passages. 'In both cases."
he said, "the important mechanism
of heat transfer inside the passages
may be free convection. These
conditions have not been studied,
and results cannot accurately be
predicted. However, data obtained
in this research are expected to be
directly applicable to the problem
of hollow turbine blade cooling"
Extensive work has been done in
the past by the Universitys De-
partment of Chemical Engineering
on heat transfer, but no expert
mental work has been done there
on the current problem. Mr.. Guer-
rieri, who holds a Master of Science
degree from Massachusetts, Insti-
tute of Technology( has for about
15 years specialized in the process
design of petroleum refinery plants
and equipment. His research in
cluded work in the field of heat
transfer as applied to certain phas-
es of petroleum refining. He has
been on the Delaware faculty since
September, 1947. Assisting Mr..
Guerrieri on the project are two
research fellows, Robert Connell
and Charles v. Foster The new
contract is with the power branch
of ONR's naval sciences division. 1t
is the fifth provided by the Office
of Naval Research within the past
year to support fundamental re-
search in science at the University
of Delaware. Most recently an
nounced was a $1,000 contract for
fundamental study by DR.. Harold
c. Beachell, assistant professor of
chemistry, in the stability of poly
vinyl formal compositions. On 9th
er current projects, Or. Elizabeth
Dyer, associate professor of chem
istry, is doing work on polymeriza-
tion and DR.. Kurt Wohl, research
professor of chemical engineering,
is directing two projects on COM
bustion as related to jet propulsion.

measure simply cannot be substantiated.
Since the law was passed, major labor groups
have been given substantial pay raises and
other benefits. They have not lost a single,
solitary right which can be defended on any
reasonable grounds. Of great importance,
the law has given the rank and file of union
members far better measure of control over
the actions and policies of the unions which
they maintain than they ever had before.
Under the Wagner Act, the labor leader was
a czar, and the working people who paid his
salary took orders, or got out The result
was an intOlerable amount of ruthlessness
and racketeering. The law, in fact, has done
a great deal to free labor from it's masters
No one claims it is perfect But it comes near
er to perfection than anything that preced-
ed it.
