90 |ndustriaIisfs Meet
For Preview Of 1851
Program
By the Associated Press

SEA ISLAND. Ga. Nov. 81
More than 80 leading industrial
lists assembled with defense Of
ficials here today for a preview of
the 1851 munitions program and
the cutbacks it may bring toj
civilian output.
The three-day session Of the
Business Advisory Committee of
the Commerce Department will be
held behind closed doors. Secre-
tary of Commerce Sawyer, presid-
ing, has told reporters that they
will not be welcome"
Industry brought to the meet
ing a rising concern over pending
orders of the National Produc-
ton Authority which, NPA has
said, may curtail by 20 to 80 per
cent further use of aluminium and
copper in civilian goods.
Antitrust Peril Seen.
Protection from anti trust
prosecution arising from industry
wide agreements for the sharing
of these materials and the basic
defense metal, steel, is urged by
many top businessmen.
This problem topped the pro-
gram of the opening meeting. Re-
ports were due from two members
of the councils Antitrust Com
mittee. John c. Virden of Cleve-
land and Blackwell Smith of New
York.
Legislation has been proposed
to give firms which enter allo-
cation agreements immunity from
antitrust prosecution not only
during the emergency period, but
thereafter.
Under present law, ALLEGATION
plans such as the program under
which steel is earmarked for TO-
900 new freight cars monthly,
carry antitrust exemption only
''for the duration" This leaves
the participating firms liable to
action, on grounds of restraint of
trade, once the program is ended.
Mushrooming Predicted.
Officials foresee a mushrooming
of such ALLEGATION programs, to
take care of defense supporting in
dustries like farm machinery, pc
troleum production. mining and
possibly merchant shipbuilding
Mr.. Virden, a manufacturer
formerly was head of the Com
merce Departments Office Of in
dustry cooperation. This unit
handled the voluntary ALLEGATION
plan set up to cope with steel
shortages and grey markets" Of
1947 and 1948.

midnight The
other two were gray like their
mother.
From the beginning, Donna prac-
tically lived with them. She found
a box to put some of her doll blank
cts in the bottom for a nest. And she
cared for them and loved them al
most as much as the mother cat.
Shortly after Tabby's kittens ar
rived, mother cat strayed to our
place, and she also presented us with
litter of kittens, six of them. And
Donna loved the new ones as much
as the others.
All of the children in the neigh
borhood were invited to come and
see the new babies. Tabby loved all
the attention she received While the
youngsters handled her babies and
petted them, she lay in the box and
purred contentedly. But the stray cat
was uneasy when anyone was near.
1t wasn't long before the stray cat
decided to move her family to safer
place. But the youngsters soon found
the nest. Once more she moved them,
but again the nest was found. So
again she moved them.
The last time, however, she left
one of the babies behind. It was an
adorable little longhaired kitten, and
we had all loved it from the start.
When the mother cat didn't return
for her baby, and the youngsters
couldn't find her, we didn't know
what to do with it. 1t was far too
tiny to be able to drink milk yet,
and it was already hungry as bear.
We tried feeding it with a medi-
cine dropper, but that didn't seem
to work very well.
AT last Donna said, Mother, Tab
by has only four kittens. Don't you
think she could take care of PIGGY,
too?"
We weren't sure how Tabby would
feel about raising a strange kitten,
but at last we decided to try it. We
carried the kitten to Tabby's nest
and carefully placed it in the box
with her. 1t looked so different from
her kittens that we were almost sure
it wouldn't work.
But Tabby looked at the kitten,
not even seeming to be surprised at
seeing newcomer. Gently she put
her front legs around the little fell
low, just as any mother does her
babies. Then she washed him and
washed him until his ragged coat
glistened. Then she Struggled it down
beside the rest of the kittens and
went to sleep.
Now the kitten is full grown cat
and almost twice as big as his adopt
ed mother. But he is just as gentle
as she is, and Donna plays with him
like he was real baby. She dresses
him in her old doll clothes, and car
ries him in her arms like a teddy
bear. And we all think that he is the
incest cat we ever had.
