DISPERSAL OF INDUSTRY A SMART
 MOVE

President Truman has acted wisely in ordering governmental departments and agencies to support industrial dispersal policy worked out by the National Security Resources Board, the Office of Defense Mobilization Munitions Board.
 The program will be bitterly fought by repre- sentatrves of existing industrial They will point to the fact that Congress recently rejected an amend ment making the need for dispersal of industry a yardstick in the construction of plants built or f- nanced by the government.
 The dispersal program is imperative in view of the possibility of atomic bomb attacks Certainly it would be extremely foolish for the United States to continue pile up it's essential plants in areas where there are already vital productive units putting all our production eggs in the same basket and inviting the enemy to knock them all out at one time
 There is another side to the question which may be overlooked by who argue against dispersal Existing industrial plants in metropolitan areas are clamoring for system of governmental insurance to protect them from loss in the event Of an atomic bomb attack It is hardly possible the enemy will waste atomic bombs the relatively undeveloped areas of the nation and consequently passage of an insurance measure will almost exclusively for the benefit of existing industrial areas.
 In view of the fact that these industries expect the government to indemnify them against loss, if their plants are bombed during war, it is smart policy the part of the government to disperse the plants so that the loss will not be aggravated by an avoidable concentration of industrial plants Ii the government is to indemnify the owners against loss, the government should have something to say about the location of plants, especially those established through governmental assistance.
 The safety of the nation is another factor that must be considered against the wishes of existing industrial areas their productive potential If we are to have uninterrupted production of essen tial items during war must have our plants scat tered throughout the nation so that one successful attack will not seriouslys impair our facilities Not only is it wise for the government, from this stand point to scatter all plants that are constructed but it might be advantageous to move some of the existing essential industries into other areas.

BRITISH DEVELOP SUPERIOR
 ARMY RIFLE

The necessity of defense forces the art of war fare to make use of the ingenuity of to develop weapons that will kill other human beings faster than ever. This has been true since the bow and arrow replaced the spear and sword and will doubt con- tinue to be the practice of mankind until wars are no longer the method of settling international dis putes
 The United States and most of the North At antic treaty powers rely upon the automatic Garrand M-1 which uses 30-caliber ammunition. The British Army has heretofore depended upon the Lee Enfield bolt-actipn rifle which slightly larger ammuni- ton but ordnance scientific experts recently yelled a new .280-calber automatic rifle before a carefully screened audience which almost unani- nous in praising the performance of the gun
 In test between the three rifles, the new weapon fired 84-rounds minute compared to the 43 rounds of the Garrand and 28 for the Enfield. It pene- trated helmets 600 yards away and went through 46-inches of wood pankng at 100 yards In addition it can kill human target at 2,000 yards.
 The British development is foot shorter than our Garrand weighs a pound less and carries 20 rounds to the Garrands eight. Its muzzle velocity is comparable and it's recol less than half of the American gun. It represents radical departure in design in that the wooden stock has ben eliminated and the weapon is a straight line from muzzle to butt The trigger is in front of the magazine, making it easier to maintain and handle.

Eisenhower Is
 'Fiatiered' as
 Pres. Candidate

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-tR-Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower says he is "flattered" to learn he is regarded by many House members as Presi-
 dential timber. But, in a letter to
 Rep. Cole (R-NY), he gave no indi- cation whether he will be available. The New York Congressman re- gently took a poll of House Repub- licans which gave Senator Taft tR-Ohio) T votes and Eisenhower 54 in first choices for the presiden- tial nomination. He sent the re-
 suits to Eisenhower.
 Releasing the poll, Cole said T understand Eisenhower's position, , and he added:
 His entire effort is toward the
 effective organization of the North
 Atlantic Treaty armies and resist
 ance to further Communistic aggres-
 sion and I sincerely believe that he
 gives little if any thought to poli-
 tics and the coming nomination.

What military men interested in is the fact that the new-sze ammunition will enable British division to carry 824000 rounds more ammunition with the transport As the reader is well aware the question of supplies, including food ammunition, etc. is always important in military campaigns. That the new British weapon will be adopted as a standard gun for the democratic nations is somewhat doubtful
 Observers from the United States while praising the weapon indicate that the United States is not apt to switch weapons at this time. Anyhow, she matter will be studied by group of technical ex- perts who will submit recommendation sometime this winter.

sumer durables while at the same time meeting the needs of the De- fense Mobilization program, Fleisch- mann added.
 The production crisis has been caused by shortages and strikes at home, plus stepped up military ship ments to Europe. The unfortunate fact is that military production is tagging dangerously behind procure ment schedules For example, the manufacture of jet planes is nine months behind schedule. Yet the Air Force right now has had to re- vise it's earlier schedule drastically upward because of losses over Kor- ca and improvements in Russian planes.
 Fle schmann argued that the manufacturers of automobiles, frig- orators, television sets and other consumer durables, 'on the average have already reduced to 60 percent of their 1850 rates of production
 Consumer durables cannot be reduced more than an additional ten percent and still produce at a profit" he warned mobilization of ficials at the closed-door meeting

MAILBAG

E. C., Washington, D. C.-My brief reference to Gen MacArthur's failure to speak to hospitalized vet erans at Portland, Ore, was mild compared to the comments of Port land chairman of the MacArthur welcoming committee, a Republi- can. The Oregonian, a COP news paper, commented The one speech Gen. Macarthur was expected to make in Portland. left some 800 patients of the Veterans Hospital bewildered and disappointed. Am- bulatory patients awaited the event from the doors of the big hospital Other patients crowded hospital windows expecting to hear speech from the hospitals public address system. The hundreds of patients who could not see the dramatic ar rival waited patiently with bedside earphones.
 "The caravan arrived. MacArthur alighted, saw the cheering patients, some in wheel chairs, with nurse attendants.l He shook hands. Flash hulhs lighted the scene. photo graphers arranged the General, Mrs. Macarthur, Governor Douglas Mc- Kay, Mayor Dorothy Mccullough Lee and dozens of others into pie torial poses. Two generals and two colonels who became Japan ese prisoners on Bataan held brief reunion with their old commander as shutters snapped"
 i, Then the Macarthur party retir- ed. "The big hospital buildings, concluded the Oregonian, where the patients watched behind closed windows and the bedridden neither saw nor heard the 'old soldier or his voice, were silont."
 Later the Portland Journal. an anti Truman Democratic paper, quoted E. c. Sammons, COP chair man of the MacArthur welcoming committee as having telephoned Gen. Courtney Whitney. to deny Whitneys assertion that Macarthur did not know he was supposed to address the hospitalized veterans over the loudspeaker.
 "On at least three occasions at the hospital the General had been advised he was expected to speak over the loudspeaker and into the radio microphones which had been set up," the Journal quoted Sam mons as saying.
 "The original idea of the General to speak at the hospital developed in a telephone conversation between

[ by strikes in defense industries, why military production is tagging. It means President Truman must choose between guns and egg beaters -on the eve of presidential elec- ton.
 Mobilization Boss Charlies Wilson's plan has been to keep the nations factories producing civilian goods, and increase de- fense production by expanding and building new plants. The only real trouble has been that this has ,, been too slow to keep up with the Defense Departments needs.

 "Sammons (talking to Gen. Whit ney over the phone) said: there was not a single reason why Macarthur should not have spoken. As one old soldier to another, he could have told the boys of his thanks for what they had done'."

10 PERCENT IS NO SOLUTION

Fleischmann hinted, however, that a 10 percent cut would not solve the problem of material shortages.
 Further cuts in the production oi consumer durables,' he shrugged, twill not release substantial quan- titles of controlled materials, such as structural steel and brass mill products"
 Fleischmann's problem is allo- eating scarce materials such as cop per and aluminium, to meet both civilian and military needs. He made no bones about this being tough assignment for the first quarter of 1852.
 ''The growing demands of the de- fense production program will prob ally result in allocations satisfac- tory to no one," he predicted gloom- fly.
 Arthur Smithies, economist for ,Aobilizer Charlie Wilson, asked whether manufacturers were hoard ing scarce materials. Fleischmann explained that his controls pro- gram works on production and a plant basis which makes it diff. cult to check.
 Looking at the immediate future, Fleischnnann admitted that pros poets for an increase in the supply of controlled materials are not bright. Shortage of electrical pow CT in the northwest has curtafled the production of aluminium. The problem of financing additional aluminium capacity has not yet been solved. There appears to be no new solution of the copper short age"
 These are the reasons, complicated
