AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY TO
 NEED HALF MILLION

WASHINGTON - Aircraft indus try spokesmen estimated today that stepped-up warplane production would increase employment in man. ufacture of airframes, engines and parts by the end of the year to 75O,0O0.
 Employment in the industry now totals 255,0O0. The wartime peak was 1,s26,345.
 Manufacturers representatives warned that the increase would be gradual.
 Their companies got the green light for expanded production only last week and then 1t came in the form of letters of intent" instead of contracts.
 President Truman authorized mo- tifications totaling 4 billion dollars in addition to ? billion dollars al- ready programmed.
 Tripling production will almost, but not quite, triple payrolls, plane makers said.
 Shortages already exist in some skilled crafts.
 Manufacturers in California Washington, Kansas and Texas plants report an immediate need for engineers, die makers, machin- ists and jig builders.
 Boeing's has 1O,5OO men en- ployed in Wichita and 1S,000 in Seattle, and will add several thou sand additional at each city with in the next several months.

With n out of every thirty.
five of our menfolk in the armed
services this year nearly everyone
is going to be concerned about
Christmas "Gifts for Servicemen.'
And since some of them are in
far off Korea and Japan and
others on the continent of Europe,
it is essential that shopping for
them start Immediately.
There is the matter of packaging
their gifts properly for safe travel
over long distances. There is above
all the matter of getting their
packages into the mails a good
deal before Christmas.
And finally there is the problem
Of choosing the appropriate gift.
This means above all that the
place where the serviceman is sta
toned is very important to the
proper selection of the gift to be
sent to him.
If he's in a Florida training
camp, a heavy wooden sweater
would be of little use. If he is a
combat man in Korea a bathing
suit would be so much lightweight.
1t should be remembered that
no matter whether your man is
stationed in Continental United
States or is aboard a swift moving
battle cruiser, gifts for him should
be small, light and sturdy. Serv-
ice men are almost always on the
move.
For those who have access to
power a small and pref
portable radio is good, as
are electrical shavers for freshen-
ing up. Think also of the trouser
pressers that are compact. They
keep uniforms trim and neat and
,uck away in a foot locker.
Pen and pencil sets are always

of 25-cent gifts. So as
not to conflict with the cantata

Rail Workers 10 Open
New Wage Raise Drive

A new drive for higher wages
will be started soon by unions
representing more than million
railroad workers.
Plans for the drive will be made
here on october IL by Leaders
of all 16 of the so-called non
operating railroad unions. The
meeting will be held under aus
pices of the Railway Labor Ex-
ecutives Association.
The size of the pay demands
to be made on all of the coun-
try's major railroads will be de-
, termined at the meeting.
AL Hayes, president of the In
ternational Association of Ma
chinists, announced that his ex-
ecutive council had decided Ito
initiate an immediate move for
higher wages for all non-operat-
ing railway employees" The lam
itself represents about 100000
railroad workers.
The last pay raise given the
incorporating brotherhoods - a
hike of 7 cents an hour-came In
October 1948.
President Truman, month
ago. was forced to seize the rail-
roads to head off a strike by
members of two of the operating
brotherhoods-the trainmen and
the conductors.
