NAN: MANY observers felt the govern
ment's attack upon bigness might have
been stirred up by Economic Planners who
want to scuttle our free enterprise system.
The system encourages bigness but only If
bigness can be more efficient than smallness
and can win the approval of the consum-
ing public without which. of course no COM
pany can grow. If industries were to be
broken up simply on the grounds of big
ness. our advance as nation would be
seriously slowed down and our national
security critically weakened"

INDUSTRY WILL DO IT'S JOB

The National Administration ap-
peals to National Industries to speed up
production and keep necessary controls
to prevent dangers of any initiation.
The National Council of Economic
Advisors Clipped in some advice and here
it is, viz:
THE recent upsurge of prices and
advanced buying indicates how quickly
we can pass over into a dangerous in
flationary situation. The appropriate
agencies of the Government should con-
tinue and intensity their development of
plans for more sweeping controls over
prices. wages and the mobilization of
man power" The Advisors admonished
the public to "watch your step"
The President has assured Congress
and the Government that the Nations
economy is stronger for whatever tasks
that lie ahead than ever before

How Ready Are We To Fight The Reds?

National Defense Act, emitting the pro4
posal for universal military training. 1t
was marked improvement over the policy
followed previous to World War l. The
law authorized standing army of $780,
600 men and provided for an elaborate
Reserve Officers Training Corps system
in colleges and universities and instruction
and training in the National Guard.
General Marshall then points out that.
this was reasonably sound action ex-
cept as to universal military training. 1t
was based upon long hearings. held when
memories were fresh with the experience
of the terrible war, and it appeared that
the nation might, at last, take long step
forward in the matter of preparedness for
defense.
Some nine months later. however,
Congress was confronted with the political
problem of the national budget and an
increase in taxation to support its defense
program. What happened? Congress cut
appropriations, making necessary a re-
duction of the Army from 100000 to 1885,
600. Eight months later, the Army $
to $4,000. The program of training was
continued and the Army had to aSsiga
some of its officer personnel to this task
which meant its combat effectiveness was
decreased.
Continuing his recital of comparatively
recent developments, General Marshall
pointed out that the movement to build
mendatiOn of the Newton D. Baker Com
mittee. No provision was made, however.
for the personnel of the. Air Force and the
result was that infantry. artillery, the tank
corps and our higher elements were de-
pleted. By 1888, there literally was no
ground force worthy of the name of the
Army"
The extent of the emasculation is to be
understood from an example cited by
General Marshall. A regiment was ordered
to move about twelve hundred miles in
order to consolidate commands. There
was no money for transportation, so it
marched, with its dwindling companies y
It lost several units before it was half way
to its destination. and when it reached the
new pOc% tic CAbAAC 1CSAACuS was CAAAilA-
mated" This was pretty much the picture
of the ground forces of the Army when
General Marshall arrived in Washington
in 1888.
General Marshall points out that, de
spite what most people said, the Com
gress and the people had not learned
their lesson from the first World War"
And, what is more important, again after
1915 and 1916. we demonstrated that we
still had not learned our lesson despite
another catastrophe World War
This brings us to the observation with
which we started this rather long discus
sion. Have the people of the United States,
in the light of events of the last year..
made up their minds to adequately preA
pare for self-defense?
Is the public mind prepared for the
personal and financial sacrifices that will
be necessary to adequately prepare?
Or will we be satisfied with a few
pieces of legislation which, despite their
declared purposes, do little more than
create the impression that something big
has taken place in connection with or
well-nigh unanimous decision to Oppose
Communism and Soviet aggression?

When You Sew NYlon

Nylon fabrics for home sewing
are appearing in wider variety.
Many of you will be sewing these
long-wearing, easy to care for fab
RIGS for the first time. To help
you obtain the best results, here
are some helpful sewing sugges-
tions.
When cutting use well sharpen
ed shears. Leave generous allow
and sharp penetrate tough nylon
more easily. Select the finest
needle that will accommodate the
thread for both machine and hand
sewing. Sewing machine needles
in numbers IL and 90 or their
equivalents are best for nylon fab
RIGS.
In stitching, it is very impor-
tant to test your stitching. Use a
folded sample of the nylon fab
ric on which you plan to sew. Do
this before you start any perman-
ent seams.
Adjust the length of stitch to
the type of fabric. Fewer stitches
per inch can be made when sew
ing nylon. Better looking seams
will generally result when stitches
are longer than those used on
other fabrics. When sewing tight
ly woven fabrics, as few as seven
stitches to an inch may be used,
particularly with inside seams.
Lower the upper tension until
a well-formed but loose stitch is
made. Test stitch on the straight
Of the goods.
Because of nylon's great streng-
tn and elasticity, sewing with ten
sions normally used with other
threads may cause seams to puck
er. When sewing with threads
other than nylon, it may be neces-
sary to use loose tensions and
large stitches.
Nylon thread is recommended
for nylon fabrics. 1t makes pos
sible durable seams that dry
quickly when washed and will not
shrink. Other threads may be
used, however.

Seams in nylon fabrics should
be made without raw edges. The
type Of seam you choose will de-
pend upon wnerner or not your
fabric tends to ravel. Bound,
French, edge-stitches, or overcast
seams help assure resistance to

Secure thread at beginning and
end Of each seam by retracing
for several stitches. The use OF
tissue or ordinary shelf paper un-

smoother seams when sewing

travelling. Pinking the edges will
be sufficient for some tightly wo-
ven fabrics. Most nylon tricot
fabrics will not ravel.
If you use bound seams, be
sure the binding is nylon or a pre-
shrunk material.
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1950-09-14

As with other fabrics, seams
should be pressed after stitching.
It is important to use low tenn
perature - the ''nvlon" or ''rayon"
setting on automatic irons. Press
with a damp cloth or a steam iron
for superior results.
