describes as a succession of
military errors. The battle was
costly in casualties to both sides,

of the War Between the States.

production schedules are concern

ity and cost of modern planes.
The latest Jet fighters or carrier
types. for example, will cost some
$650,000 fully equipped, as COM

War II types they are replacing.
About is major manufacturers
are still in business, thanks to Air
Force and Navy procurement pol
icies during the postwar years, and
our leadership in the production
of commercial types.
Scores of subcontractors, too,
have been kept in the business
through a top-level policy re-
quiring the big manufacturers to
let outside orders for various parts
and components.
The subcontracting system helps
to maintain a reserve capacity for
expansion at the big plants and
to spread the strain on employ
ment when the plants are speeded
up or cut back.
One of the biggest problems
faced by plants striving to hold
together expansible engineering
and production forces is the two
year, stop-and-go system of pro-
curement. dictated by Congress
on the one hand and the shifting
needs of the military on the other.
Personnel Problem
Key men of the industry were
summoned to the Pentagon
Thursday for top-level brief1ng on
the urgency of the situation. They
were informed in general terms Of
what will be required of them.
I'm other words we must get
crackin'," one of them remarked.
There was no official statement,
however.
At the same time there was
grave concern in the industry that
recall of the Reserves and the
draft may cripple engineering
staffs before they can get new
production schedules under way.
1t was estimated that in
discriminate calls to the armed
services will deplete already
skinny engineering forces by IL
to 25 per cent. A high percentage
of young men in this work have
kept up their reserve status, it
was said.
In the absence Of any precise
deferment policy, the industry
fears it may lose several thousand
men who are qualified to train ad-
ditions to engineering and pro-
duction staffs. Any program for
swift expansion must take this
factor into account. it was said.
Skilled workers and technicians
are reluctant to leave permanent
jobs in other lines to enter aircraft
plants unless the emergency is
great. Availability of special skills,
in the present period of full en-
ployment, will depend to a large
extent on whether new priorities
will cut down work in some fields,
and whether service exemptions
will be offered.

more than the postwar low dur
ing 1867. Several hundred
thousand men and women were
trained as riveters, assemblers
fabricatorS, machinists and the
like in the last war.
The new production lines, how
ever, will demand a higher stand
ard of skill. Jet bombers and
fighters. for example, have wings
with tapered aluminium sheets
fitted with higher precision. There
is little tolerance for error in an
airframe built to resist forces four
or five times greater than those
of older models.
Some Plants Speed Up
Electronic controls for bombs,
guns and navigational aids are
vastly more complex. Arming the
remote-control guns of the war;
time B-29s was "child'S play
compared to the present task on
their successors.
The increasing complexity has
led to "packaging" many control
systems in one unit, usually
turned out by subcontractors.
Woman workers, as in the last
war, are playing an important
part in assembling these systems
Many are too complex to be re-
paired at operational bases, and
are designed for replacement and
return to the manufacturer. This
further increases the amount of
material which must be produced
to keep the modern airplane fly

Sets Fires To
Get Even"

HAMMOND, La. (ANP)- Be-
cause a Negro was given a job
which had been promised a white
boy, the latter confessed last week
to setting fire to IA places and
the deliberate burning of a new
automobile. The 16-year-old youth
related this story to Mayor James
A. Strue:
More than two years ago, Com
missioner John w. Ellsey had
promised him a job which he later
gave to a Negro boy. From then
or the youth harbored a personal
grudge against the commissioner
and pledged to "get even" with
him, and started by setting fire to
the city disposal building.
Fire after fire, occurred and
always without a trace. Officials
closely allied with the state fire
department were at their wits end
in attempting to trace the origin
of the arson cases.
In the wake of destruction was
a school, a garage, a barn, a
warehouse and many residences.
The youth fired the grass at an
airport, and followed by setting
ablaze a two-story building in the
suburbs. His next objective was
a truck.
Law officials in which custody
the youth is, say that he is to be
given a lunacy test.

Student Kills
Woman

MACON, Ga. (ANP)- John C.
Moore, 39-year-old white vocation
al school student, was arrested
and lodged in Bib county Jail
here last week for fatally wound
ing his former sweetheart, a 65-
year-old Negro woman.
According to police, Moore
"got rid" of the woman, after she
found out he had switched his
affections to her daughter.
Victim of the Glove triangle"
was Erma Roquemore. Her daugh-
ter, Mae Tharpe, is being held as
a material witness.
Moore had been "going with"
the elderly woman for some time,
visiting her nightly. Recently,
however, he switched his attent-
ions to her daughter. One night,
Mrs. Roquemore caught the two
of them together. The next morn
ing Moore hid in the bushes near
her home and ambushed the wo-
man as she left for work. She died
in a hospital that same day.

Letter To
The Editor
EVERYBODY'S JOB

Freedom is what we all want
for ourselves, but we are not
equally as eager to work for its
achievement, for so many of us
think it is the task of Congress
or the ruling powers in state and
community. Without doubt, these
people have great responsibility
in the matter, but in a larger
sense. Freedom is everybody's job
and no individual is thoroughly
free until he or she becomes acti-
vely interested in the process of
freedom for the total human ia
mily. The mar or woman who has
an opportunity to vote, for ex-
ample and does not express his or
her choice or representatives for
community, State and national af-
fairs has failed to enter into the
cause of freedom. Often people
refuse to become involved in pol
itics for state and community and
by their withdrawal allow corrupt
situations which they could help
to correct. But mere voting is
not enough. 1t is everybody's job
to follow with interest the acti-
vities of those officials whom we
elect and insist on their carrying
out the will of the people.

We Put Beavers to Work
at Conservation
BY WESLEY WOODGERD

The portion of the upper jaw
which remains out of water is cam
ouflaged with mud and willow
branches and small amount of
scent is sprinkled ON the mud. The
mud and scent are placed IN the CEN
ter of the jaw, directly above the
pan so that when the beaver puts
his nose on the scent one of his hind
feet or his tail will depress the pan
and release the lower jaw.
The trap is snapped shut by pow
erful springs enclosing the beaver
in cage which is partially sub
merged in water and held in place
by the stake which was driven into
the bank The willow branches used
for camouflage remain in the trap
and can be used for food.
Choose New Site Carefully
When the beaver is removed from
the trap, either the same night or
the following morning, the animal
is sexed and placed IN a somewhat
larger cage for transporting. Care
must be used in handling, because
the beaver is usually ION the fight"
and his long incisors are dangerous.
The job of planting beaver re-
quires care and a good knowledge
of beaver habits. 1t isn't possible to
establish colony of beaver just any
where, for food must be easily ac-
cessible, the stream must be suitable
and the terrain must be favorable
for building dams. To assure the
beaver desirable home where they
will be a benefit to their surround
ings, the planting site should always

TRAPPING BEAVER alive, and
transplanting them is a project
which has been carried on by the
Montana fish and game department
since the summer of 1910. In the
summer of 1948 a total of 40 beaver
were trapped and transplanted by
q two man crew. Of this total there
were IL adult males, 10 adult fe-
males and kits. It is thought that
the small percentage of kits may
have been caused by the loss of
many of them during the high spring
floods.
The beaver to be transplanted are
not trapped at random, but the ones
that are doing damage to irrigation
bitches, roads or meadows are caught
and moved to locations where their
work will contribute to conservation.
Their dams slow zap and save rum
off water and hold large deposits
of silt, raise the water table and

Trapped Alive

ment of agriculture budget have
been available for field work since
1947. During the three-year period
more than 1000 square miles have
been completed and 2,841 bushes
destroyed on 81 properties. The
bushes were eradicated with the
use of salt, ANIMATE and 2, AID.
More than 95 percent of the area
of the state has now been covered
and cleared of all known barberry
bushes. That area will not require
any further organized work. Next
seasons survey will be mainly in
western counties which are still in
need of work.
Stem rust is recognized as the
greatest single disease hazard of
small-grain production. Montana
has lost as much as IL percent of
her small-grain crop in one season.

In some instances it was impos-

The trapping and transplanting OF
live beaver is considered to be
worthwhile project because it serves
the double purpose of removing bea-
yer from sites where they are doing
damage and placing them in loca-
tons where their work is of great
value in improving game habitat and
preventing soil erosion. The beaver
is now an important conservationist
in our forests, and his work will
become increasingly apparent If
