SOVIET ARMS PRODUCTION GREAT

The scope of the Russian armament industry is rare
y appreciated by Americans recent tabulaton based
statements Premier Joseph Stain made shortly after
World War H. gives idea of the huge capabity of
the Soviet armament industry.
This tabulaton shows that the Russians probably
produced many planes did the Germans in the year
1914, the Nazs peak year. and that the Reds probably
produced more tanks and self-propeled guns in 1914
than the total German output during World War H. The
Soviet output of tanks and sepropeed guns in 1914 is
thought to have been about threeouhs large pro-
ducton in the United States of these weapons in 1943
From these figures it will be seen that the Soviet
armament industry is the major threat to world peace to-
day While the United States is in way capable of
quickly returning to 1943 armament production the Sow
let Union has actually expanded its armament produc-
ton capabilities, and is probably manufacturing or able
to manufacture guns and tanks today than in 1914
While the United States has made some progress on
rearmament program it would take this countrys in
dustry some time to again reach 1943 production totals
Soviet production of tanks, planes and other arored
vehicles and weapons large it in 1914 be-
the Russians did not attempt manufacture as
much motorized transport for its army as did the United
States and other countries The Russian effort since
the is thought to have been directed toward this
goal to some extent
Despite the backwardness of the Soviet Union in the
field of motor transport in World War IT, the huge pro-
ducon totals achieved and recently given widespread
publicity - show that arms production in the Soviet
Union not to be taken lightly. The United States long
the foremost industrial nation in the world will not be
able to afford the luxury of complete rehabilitation and
conversion to civilian production as long as the Soviet
threat is real it is today.

Business

sy SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R-If son follows
his dad in getting a job at the
same factory the company gains
thereby.
That's the opinion of Harold 5.
Vance, South Bend, Ind, board
chairman and president Of the
Studebaker Corp.
! He says employment of father
son teams cuts labor turnover, abb
senteeism and hardness. And he
thinks that a family spirit on the
job makes for better work.
Vance doesn't say so, but such
spirit might even help in getting
plant personnel over the hard feel
ings that a presidential campaign
as bitter as the one just ended
might engender.
Nearly so per cent Of the 10000
wage earners of the auto firm
Vance heads are members of fami-
ly teams.
One out of three are members
of father-and-son combinations. Or,
put another way, the company has
1905 employees with one or more
sons, ranging up to six, working
for it.
Company records show that IA
theirs and sons worked together in
the first Studebaker wagon fac
tory.
At present there are so grand
father-father-son combinations and
IL grandfather granddaughter
teams.
The family character Of the
South Bend factory payroll, Vance
says, means that his company has
no transient labor force problem
such as sometimes plaques some
other segments Of the auto indus
try.
He also declares that the 100
| year-old company has never had
a major work stoppage, and gives
much Of the credit to the family
spirit among employees.
Other family combinations in the
firm at present include: 1SO father
daughter teams: so father-son-
daughter; IS mother-daughter; l..
400 combinations of brothers, in.
eluding a set Of eight; and 107
teams of sisters.
Vance's compilation doesn't take
into account uncles, cousins and
| in-laws.
But he says that 734 families
have at least three members on
his payroll, "a have five and a
have six or more.
This "all in the family" spirit
could be traced right back to lss;
when the five bearded Studebakei
brothers started the blacksmith
shop out Of which grew today's
auto factory.

Education Week
Spurs Interest
In Our Schools
BY RANDOLPH RUSSELL
Principal. Harris School

The purpose in having an "Amer-
ican Education Week" is another
step to. further an interest in the
schools of America. Such a mea-
sure has a profound importance
in a Democracy. II is so vital for
the public to be educated if they
head the government of our coun-
try, and they surely do that as we
have witnessed in our recent elec-
ton.
There were many amendments,
and many candidates to be con-
sidered by John @. Public. Each
one could fill book in the story
attached to it. If one is to vote
intelligently, he must be well
educated; thus such a thing as
holding American Education
Week" is a good step in the right
direction for every American citi-
zen.
The theme this year is Children
In Today's World" The organiza-
tions in sponsoring American Edu-
cation Week" have aptly chosen
this topic. We have more children
in the nation at present than ever
before in our whole history. Mil
lions of adults discuss them pro
and con. Are they better today?
Are they worse today? Are they
given too much freedom? Is delin-
quency greater? Are they better
informed? Are they poorly pre-
pared?
The majority of American adults
will swear that children have
surely changed. Maybe we adults
have changed, and we never saw
ourselves as children. Certainly
children Of today are faced with
more complexities than a genera
ton ago. Science, machinery and
history have taken care of that
Children In Today's World" live
in greater luxury, and have great
er opportunities awaiting them. We
may be all thankful for that fact.
Their greatest barrier is wars
The educational world of today
knows that the deceased Professor
Emeritus John Dewey of Columbia
University has had a greater effect
on the youth Of literature on the
modern type Of education than any.
one before or since his time. II is
he that has revoluntionized the
theory of education that has been
taught students of education in the
Universities, and they in turn have
brought his theories to the Ameri
can public schools
Dewey's hypothetical theory Is
based on one philosophy - ''The
child can learn better by doing
thus, in the schools of today we
find children given many real life

Schools Today
Face Serious
Difficulties
Contributed BY
PoINcIANA school.

Our schools today are facing
many serious problems. Among
tn. are: building enough class
rooms for the rapidly increasing
enrollments; finding enough quail
fled teachers; providing teachers
with professional salaries, salts
factory working conditions, and
adequate retirement plans; and
providing curriculums and learning
equipment to meet the needs, abili-
ties, and interests of all children.
The public schools belong to all
the peor and the improvement
of schools is an obligation of all
citizens. Thru active interest, a
study of the facts, plans of acton,
the people can achieve the kind of
education they want for their chill
dren.
USEFUL FACTS
1. In 's51, 6165 school projects to
the value of 1854 ,62S 900 were
started. Available data shows that
in 1852 school construction will
drop about Is percent. This year
81 900 new classrooms will be need
ed, but only about 54OO will be
built and at the cost of 81, ,1O4, ,700,-
600.
2. It is estimated that for the
school year '51-'52, there is a con.
siderable shortage of public school
buildings: 80 states reported a
shortage of rural secondary
schools: ~, a shortage of urban
elementary schools; and SO, a
shortage of ur b a n secondary
schools. Over the nation this is a
slight improvement in the rural
school-building situation and in the
urban secondary-school situation
With 195e-57 the estimated peak en-.
rollment year, the shortage of ele-
mentary-school buildings is likely
to continue for several years. Peak
