This amount of blood was
equivalent to replacing their total
normal amount of blood capacity

adult it would be roughly the
equivalent of receiving 18 to 20
quarts of blood.
DR.. Oldberg said that actually

Blood which nourishes the

the smaller of the 15-month-old
twins, was given the benefit be-
cause he showed the greater
chance for ultimate survival. The
other twin is Roger Lee Brodie.
DR.. Oldberg said surgeons found
the twins had only a single fused
outer brain covering containing a
single saggital sinus vein that
drains blood from the brain back
to the heart. Rodney was given
most of this brain covering and
the drainage vein.

A special committee, set up

ment problems. recommended to-

Auto Output Goals
Raised as Outlook for
More Steel Brightens
Eosed Supply Situation
Will Spur Production
To Highest Since Koreu
BY the Associated Press

Makers of automobiles and
other civilian goods raised their
goals for the second
quarter of 1853 today. on the
basis of Government assurance
they will have more steel than
at any time since the Korean war
began.
The Defense Production Ad-
ministration authorized them
late yesterday to use steel up to
10 per cent of their pre-Korean
rate. This is about 16 per cent
more than for the third quarter
of 1852, the previous high since
the Government began rationine
scarce materials to assure ade-
quate supplies for defense.
Aluminium producers weighed
meanwhile, a conditional Govern.
rinent offer for a ceiling price in
crease of 1a cent a pound on
primary aluminium pig and ingot
and 4 per cent OH fabricated
aluminium products.
Proposed Contract Changes.
Defense Mobilizer Henry Fowler
tied the proposed increase to a
provision that the Big Three pro-
ducers agree to certain changes
in their contracts with the Gov
eminent, among them the deletion
of the right of the Government
or the companies to cancel con-
tracts for aluminium before they
run their full five years.
Mr.. Fowler's proposal was made
in identical letters to the Alumi-
mum Co. of America. the Kaiser
Aluminium & Chemical Corp. and
the Reynolds Metals Co. He asked
immediate replies.
The companies got a bigger in
crease last August, but they said
1t wasn't enough to meet their
expansion programs and asked Mr..
Fowler for another boost.
The DPA allotments of con-
trolled materials for the April
quarter of 1853 made
no change in the rate of use of
copper, and aluminium. The
agency said these metals still are
scarce. Copper use will continue
at so per cent of pre-Korea levels
and aluminium at SIS per cent.
Steel Supply Favorable.
Acting DPA Chief Ralph Trigg
said the steel supply now is look
ing up. after being hampered by
the long steel strike in the sum-
mer.
He said steel provided should
allow production of ~ million
passenger automobiles and 315,-
900 trucks. This compares with
steel provided to build only 700,-
600 cars in the first quarter of the
new year.
The companies previously had
been authorized to produce as
many as ~ million autos if they
IAN obtain steel from abroad or
through other sources.

Civil Defense Leader
Says President Fails
To Give Full Support
Nation Not Prepared,
Asserts Gen. Larsen;
Talks With Eisenhower
By the Associotsd Press

NEW YORK, Dec. ia dele
cation of State civil defense direc-
tors called on President-elect
Eisenhower today and their
spokesman afterward accused
President Truman and his ad-
ministration of failing to give full
support to civil defense.
The charge was voiced by 1t.
Gen. Henry Larsen, president of
the National Association of State
Civil Defense Directors.
Gen. Larsen and eight State
directors conferred with Gen.
Eisenhower at his Commodore
Hotel headquarters.
At a news conference later, Gen.
Larsen said the Nation is not ready
for war. from the standpoint Of
civil defense. if it should come
tomorrow.
1--WE are not ready-that is the
crux of this whole thing. We must
be ready" Gen. Larsen declared.
Urges Greater Stress.
He added. 1T is important that
the national administration give
greater stress and leadership in
this program, which must be
something more than lip service
and token cooperation"
Asked whether he was accusing
President Truman and his admin
istration of giving only lip service
support and token cooperation.
Gen. Larsen replied:
I'VE have not received positive
support of the program which it
must have"
Gen. Larsen said the trouble
stems from the top down" in the
Truman administration, and that
it also has been reflected in Con-
gress and in some Of the Federal
agencies"
Asked then whether by. "the
top" he meant President Truman
Gen. Larsen said:
He is the top, isn't hep"
Confident of Support.
Gen. Larsen declined to be spe-
clf1c as to what he had in mind
in the way of improving the pres
ent program. He did say that
Gen. Eisenhower expressed great
interest in seeing the program is
handled properly and Gen. Larsen
added that the State directors are
confident they will have full sup
port from the new administration.
Gen. Larsen said the Federal
budget for the current fiscal year
carries only $43 million for civil
defense. He called that out of
line with appropriations of be-
tween $50 billion and $50 billion
for overall national defense"
He added. however, that the
present administration had asked
Congress for about $500 million
for civil defense.

No Certain Panacea.
The committee recalled he vari-
Gus steps taken in the last 40
years to promote better Govern
ment administration. but it en-
phasized There is no single. sure
fire and practicable panacea to
guarantee the improvement of
Government" The committee also
blamed the public for the sprawl
ing growth of the Government
establishment, which today sees
roughly l in Is of the total popu-
lation. or / in 10 Of the total labor
force, drawing their pay from the
Federal civilian or military
service.
Demands upon Government by
the people, usually acting in
groups rather than demands on
the people by Government. &C
count in the main for its growth, "
the committee said.
Would Develop Administrators.
To bolster the continuing re-
organization authority proposed
for the President, the committee
recommended also:
l. A policy to make certain that
administrators at all levels will
carry out management-improve-
ment policies within their own
areas Of responsibilities"
2: Strengthening of the perma-
nent management staff of the
President and of all key officials
in the Government.
3. Development of program to
assure IAN adequate supply of
well-prepared and competent ad-
ministrators at all levels"
The committee also said that
operating procedures should be
permitted to be flexible and
warned against congressional re-
strictions that may actually be
costly instead of producing the
savings aimed at.
The committee praised the
Hoover Commission for stirring
interest in the Government reor-
ganization and said improvements
in the past half-dozen years are
considerable and creditable."
