new HEARING AID
SMALL, POWERFUL,
ALMOST INVISIBLE

A new hearing aid, as small as a
book Of matches and weighing less
than 81 ounces, has been developed
by Otarion hearing engineers. In
spite of its compactness, this Otarion
"Whisperwate" is one Of the most
powerful, regardless of size or weight
Another feature is its amazing
tone, automatically adjusted to in
dividual requirements. This new
Otarion "Whisperwate" sets new
standard in hearing aid performance
and completely eliminates the old
fashioned button in the ear.
1t costs absolutely nothing to try
it, either at cur hearing center or in
your own home. Phone, write, or

"a fiat tire clinging neatly to the

painted yellow-that permits you
to tear out the whole motor and
install another in 20 minutes. The
seats and back-cushions are foam

sheer cast iron on a rocky road,
as the kapok filling did.
3. In the effort to fill defense
orders and at the same time go
on producing for civilian con-
sumption, some serious shortages
have already appeared.
Aluminium is one. High heat
resisting steel is another. sElec-
trical equipment and precision in
struments are still others. Rolling
stock for transportation OF mate
rial and semifinishd machines is
very short. Freight cars are 60
ing out of service at the rate of
5000 month-which is faster
than they are being made.
AS a result, thousands of fac
tories-even those with defense
orderS-are competing with each
other for these facilities. AS a
rubber executive put it: "A de-
fense order is nothing but hunt
ing license. You still have to 60
out and find the material"
Factories Resist Orders.
4. Some factories are resisting
defense orders. Even though ma
terials shortages have cut them
down to low production or none
at all. they are retaining their
manpower and postponing conver-
sion. They argue that. in the last
war, the conscientious owner who
converted early, at his own ex-
pense and at the loss of his GUS
toners, sent those customers to
competitors who waited 18 months
or two years-and then got de-

fense contracts at higher rates as
well. So hundreds of plants are
waiting. Watchfully.
During World War II, Chrysler
one of the great tank-producing
firms. employed more than 1000
subcontractors to supply various
individual parts, assemblies and
gadgets.
Republic Aviation, making the
rugged Thunderjet fighters, al
ready has more than 1,100 pro-
ducers in it's source files" There
are 165 900 parts in conventional
jet. and many of them are made
by small plants that specialize.
Depends on Every Unit.
In short, almost any given
weapon or piece Of equipment &C
tually is the product of many
different factories, big and small.
The speed with which Ctuysler
can produce tanks or Republic can
turn out fighter craft may very
well depend, like a convoy Of
ships, on the slowest unit in the
line.
Consequently, with shortages in
engines, equipment, machine
tools, critical materials-and the
will to co-operate-the whole vast
industrial machine is affected.
The gears clash, and the motor
splutters.
In 1941, an actual state of war
cut back production for civilian
use and released men, machines
and materials for war work. In
1851, the job is harder for the
mere reason that, in many minds,
no emergency exists.

New York EXCHANGE
To Resume Tradinq
In Cotton Tomorrow
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK. Mar. FIXTURES
trading will resume on the New
York Cotton Exchange tomorrow
after a suspension of nearly six
weeks because of confusion over
the Governments price control
order. The New Orleans and Chi
cago exchanges also will open to-
morrow.
The board of managers of the
exchange obviously were not too
happy about the situation when
they announced their decision last
night.
They said it was their opinion
that IAN attempt must be made
to conduct business under Govern
ment orders"
And, they added. they were re-
suming trading despite their be-
lief that ceilings on raw cotton
prior to the manufacturing level
are unworkable and tend to pos
Sible impairment of long estab-
lishment of trading machinery"
Closed on Day of Freeze.
The managers shot down the
exchange after the close of busi-
ness January 26, the day the Gov
ernment announced its general
freeze. They said they were un-
able to operate until several fea-
lures of the regulation were clari-
fed.
In the ensuing weeks activity
in the cotton textile market gen.
orally has come to a standstill.
The Importance of the cotton
futures exchanges to the textile
industry was illustrated by this
practical cessation of activity in
the goods market.
Limit Set on Spot Trading.
The. exchange ruled that trad
ing in all deliveries would begin
tomorrow. but there were. some
special rulings regarding the
March, 1851. contract-the spot
month.
Trading in this spot delivery,
the exchange ruled, will be for
liquidation purposes only, except
ing to cover deliveries of spot
cotton.
The first notice day will be
March 9. The final date for
trading in the March. 1851. con-
tract will be March %. The final
delivery date will be March %.
All futures prices, including the
March, 1851. contract. were below
the ceiling price of 4539 cents at
the close Of trading on January 26.

Shortly afterwards. Congressman

companion bills in the House.
JACL-ADC Testifies
Beginning on March of this
year, a joint subcommittee consist
ing of seven members each from
the Senate and House Judiciary
Committee held extensive public
hearings on the three bills. The
JACL-ADC and the Committee for
Equality In Naturalization were
among those who testified at that
time.
After the joint hearings we're
concluded. Senator McCarran ex-
planned that extensive conferences
were held over the course of many
weeks, during which all OF the
numerous suggestions and COM

public hearings. were considered.
His latest bill is the result of all
this consultation and research.

IT'S AS REFRESHING

IT'S AS REFRESHING
AS a cool breeze ON a hot summer
day to hear something compliment
airy said about the Nisei by jap
anese from Japan. Often times visi-
tors from the Land of the Rising
Sun are too prone to take a dig OF
two at Nisei. Sometimes it's about
Nisei manners, or lack of them. On
it's about the Nisei's cocky attitude,
or the way they dress, or the way
they mishandle the Japanese Ian
guage.
At any rate, we were quite
pleased to hear some favorable
things about Nisei from the jap
anese officials who came to Seattle
to work on the recent Japanese
Trade Fair.
They were of the opinion that
the Nisei were a pretty good bunch
of people. AS a matter of fact, they
said the Nisei, generally speaking,
made better impression on them
than the Issei of Seattle. The Nisei,
they found, were responsible. dill
gent, endowed with a good sense
of humor, and capable of having a
lot of fun.
It's pretty hard to figure out why
these Japanese representatives were
so pleasantly surprised by their
short-term associations with Nisei
here. One of the reasons may be
that some of the Japanese probably
had come to Seattle with precon-
ceived ideas about Nisei, and were
quite astonished to learn that all
Nisei were not discourteous, flip
pant, irresponsible. and conceited.
A number of the people of Japan
have gained bad impression from
some Nisei working for the occupa-
ton In Japan. There were and still

ARR Plans Freight
 Unloading Facilities

People who noticed railroad flatcars tipping over and a few more bumps in the railroad cross ing at Fairview Ave. this week will be happy to know that all this preliminary activity heralds the addition of a much needed railroad spur and end ramp to the city's freight facilities.
 The flatcars have been dump ing ton after ton of gravel to ex- tend the grade to the width neces- sary to accommodate the spur. With the completion of the spur and end ramp, heavy rolling equipment such as tractors, cars, and trucks can be moved from flatcars without any lifting.
 The project was originally slated for early spring, but short age of materials held it up. Ac- cording to Ed Bergan at the de- pot, the supplies and material are all ready for the job. All that's needed is a labor crew.
