Industry Holds Pace,
But Civilian Output
IsLosing Emphasis
By Richord Fiske

NEW YORK, May 12.-BuSlneSS
and industry held to rapid pace
this week but civilian goods were
gradually being elbowed into the
background.
The National Production Au-
thority said more than half the
steel made during July would be
set aside for defense and an even
bigger share would go to the re-
armament program in August.
This meant less steel for such
items as automobiles. washing
machines and refrigerators in the
days to come.
1t meant another 10 to Is per
cent Clipped away from the
amount of steel available for
durable goods earmarked for
civilians.
Already the rate of production
Of such consumer items is about
20 per cent below the level of a
year ago.
The full impact of this increas-
ing shift from civilian to a
defense economy hasn't been felt
as yet and probably won't be felt
with all it's force before early fall.
Part of the reason has been
high NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. same in
ventories business was worrying
over a short time ago.
The Commerce Department re-
ported business Inventories at
new high record of $67.2 billion
in March. an increase for the
month of SIT billion after allow
ance for seasonal factors.
Slack sales were one reason for
the rise. the department said, but
about three-f1fths of the increase
In book values was attributed to
higher prices to which valuations
were tied.
Many of the Nations purchasing
agents-the men who buy indus
try's supplies-looked on current
inventories as protection against
the coming impact of the defense
program.
Businessmen for the most part
took the view the high inventories
. were but temporary situation
and that those who howled loudest
will be glad to have some stocks
on hand before fall is out.
Labor Statistics Offered.
A Labor Department official
Evan Clague. commissioner of
labor statistics-gave something of
a pretiew on the manpower situa-
ton under the expanding rearma-
ment program.
He said defense projects would
pull 2 million workers out of
civilian production in the near
future. Another million will be
added to those working on defense
by the end of the year. he said.
Mr.. Clague figured that by the
last quarter of the year nearly 10
million persons will be needed in
the armed forces, defense plants
and supporting activities. That's
twice as many as in the compar-
able 1850 quarter.
The long range interests Of the
defense program, Mr.. Clague said,
will be served best by expanding
the labor force rather than in
creaSing work hours for a limited
number of workers.
Although business and industry
stuck to its knitting during the
week, the rate of activity was
under record rates in some
instances.

RALEIGH, N. c. - (P) - A
broOder alarm is now being used
on the Brentwood Farm at Fayette-
vile, N. c. The alarm operates by
thermOstatic control, one under
each hover, and is wired to the tur-
key producers residence. If the
temperature drops below rs de-
grees or rises above 11O degrees. a
bell rings in the producers bed
room.
L. w. Herrick, Jr., extension tur-
key specialist at State College, says
faulty brOOder operation or a broo-
der stove going out may cause
pOults to chill, pile up, and smother.
Or the stove may become extremely
hot and possibly cause fire to break
out. In either case, the alarm will
notify the turkey manager. This
could mean saving the poults from
smOthering or preventing the house.

destroyed by fire.

Home Demonstration Agent

Congratulations to all of the Kent
County Home Demonstration Clubs
for doing such grand job in OBJ
serving the Objectives for 1851 Nat
iOnal Home Demonstration Week.
AS you know, many of the clubs
went to church together, several
clubs held "Open house" to tell their
friends how worthwhile Home Dem
onstratiOn Clubs are, and one club
will put on a program for the State
Welfare Home.
The Happy HOmemaker Club
members of Milford are helping out
at the Milford Hospital this week,
according to Mrs. Robert Mercer,
president of the Club. She said that
this is one way that they can help
in the community.
During the Smyrna Club Meeting,
the United Nations flag, which the
club members are making was dis
played. Mrs. Ralph Lange, chair
man of the committee; Mrs. Fred
Harris, Mrs. William MacLucas and
Mrs. Townsend Vaughn, have spent
much time embroidering it, but
they feel it is a very worthwhile
chore. They are going to present it
to the Smyrna Town Council upon
completion.
I stopped in to see Mrs. Alfred
POOre, Of the Viola Club the other
day and she showed me a quilt she
is making. It's called a Estate
Quilt" because in each block, she
has embroidered the flower of one
state. Mrs. POOre said she is plan
ming on exhibiting it at the Fair
this year, so be on the look out for
it. Making quilts is Mrs. POore's
hobby and she has made many
lovely ones.
Speaking of quilts, Mrs. Clarence
Dempsey, president of the Leipsic
Club, said that her club is going to
chance off a quilt in, the near fu-
ture. If you are anxious for a nice
quilt-there's your chance. With

Poor Intelligence

The 9th Army retreated 120 miles pell-mell without making a stop. In some cases, it unhitched heavy artillery, leaving them to the en- emy without even a pretense oI a fight This was no reflection on our men. The error was with the command. No prepared positions had been set up in the rear, per- haps because there was not the slightest expectation the Chinese would intervene.
 Furthermore our troops were not overwhelmed by superior numbers, as played up in the headlines at that time. While General MacAr- thur was issuing press communl- oues about a Chinese force of l. 100000 men, his own dispatches to the Pentagon estimated Chinese strength at only 285,0o0 men, plus, l50,000 North Koreans.
 Another serious error the military doesn't like to talk about now was the failure to spot Chinese troops building up on both sides of the Yalu River last November. Five thousand horses were brought across the river, which should have been fairly easy for Army Intelli- gence to spot, but MacArthur's in- telligence failed to report them.

Is.efauver Crime Row

A staff row over the Kefauvel crime report simmered all last week behind closed doors The re- port was written by Morris Plos- cove of the American Bar Asso- citation, an outsider called in after the investi} ations were over, ano who dished out summaries on crime in Chicago, Detroit, Miami, St Louis, Los Angeles and Kansas City without consulting the com mittee experts who did the real in- vestigating.
 Senator Kefauver had to make last-minute changes to satisfy those who weren't consulted.
 There was also some irritation at chief counsel Rudy Haley fol staging the big show in his home town, New York City. Haley spent S74,000 and had 39 on the payroll in New York, compared to an av- craze of $4,000 to $5,OO0, plus two or three investigators, in other cities.

NO MURDERED BABIES

The controversy that persists in Alaska between scheduled and non-schedued airlines is in the news again this time with accusations made before a Senate small business subcommittee regarding the eff the Civil Aeronautics Boards regulations on the irregular carriers in Alaska.
 Apparently hero of the current show is Eugene Joiner referred to by witness Sally Carrighar "a fighting pilot who won't even apply for CAB license because he has such contempt for them"
 And the villain is the CAB.
 In addition to being pilot Joiner is also editor and publisher of the Mukluk Telegraph at Kotzebue which frequently features CAB in rabid editorials and news articles that will not bear the light of truth
 Specifically, there the story published in the Mukluk Telegraph August 31 with the headline, "A Babies Murdered" More of the story told in the Pilot Flying Serum to Stricken Area All Babies in Wainwright Die in Whooping Cough Epidemic"
 The Mukluk Telegraph's story continued
 "The first case reported to the nearest medi- cal center of Kotzebue 400 miles to the south where a public health is stationed. The nurse was unable to obtain transportation the scheduled air. line to the area due their airplane being out Of operation and a local bush pilot who usually flew her on such emergency trips being held for in vestigation by Civil Aeronautics Board for having flown passenger parallel to the local scheduled air. line When the nurse finally reached the stricken area the epidemic had spread along the entire north coast -" E
 As is freuInently the result of dangerous ir-
