BUILD’ STATUE

Each Returning Veteran Drops Stone in Honor of Fallen Comrades.

By GEORGE WELLER

FARADJE, DISTRICT OF. STANLEYVILLE, Northeastern Belgian Congo, Sept. 12—A unique monument honoring the approximately 500 native troops and white officers, who lie forever in Ethiopia, is being raised here beside the red clay, single truck “highway in the first town the withdrawing Belgians pass after crossing the Sudanese border into their native Congo. It is a simple pyramid of stones being created by every Congolese infantryman, porter and white officer, who marches past tossing a stone upon the pile. When the writer visited. the monument today the triangular base was already about 25 feet long and each side was being broadened as the troops being gradually released from Ethiopia honored their fallen comrades.

MUST DEFENSE RUIN BUSINESS?

Midwestern Mave Mayors, Labor And Industry All Ask Same Question.

CHICAGO, Sept, 12 (U, P.).—The Midwest seeks to lead thé country today in a Irontal attack on a probs lem of mounting importance: peacetime business survive detense economics? More than 2000 mayors, Congressmen, civic leaders and labor officials assembled for a “conference on unemployment die to priorities.” They are from Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa,

{Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Mis-

souri and Oklahoma. = Six hundred small businessmen, here for a twoday clinic with big defense contractors, were invited to join, The delegates want facts and figures from the. Government so they can explain to those who may becomé unemployed ih the switch to defense production “just why, as patriots, it is necessary for them to endure what can’t be cured,” Mayor William H, Dress, of Evansville, Ind. said in calling the conference.

Ask Relaxed Priority

Leo Cherne, New York, direetor of the Research Institute of America, was to be the principal speaker. The Office of Production Management announced it would not send a representative to the conference but would ask the delegates to appoint a committee to meet later with OPM officials at Washington. A sampling of attitudes among the delegates indicated that some feel the Federal Government should: Relax rigid priority control; expand the priorities division so small manufacturers can present their problems to officers in their communities instead of hav= ing to go to Washington; spread defense production among small industries through contracts and permissive pooling of resources. Rodney Q. Selby, secretary of the Towa Industrial Defense Commission, asserted that his organization took the position that “it is Just as vital to our national defense program that major economic upsets should be avoided within our own country as it is that arms production be speeded up.

Cafeteria Is Held

Mayor John B. Gage of Kansas City said failure to epread work among little industries “inspires lack of confidence in the whole management of national defense.” Hundreds of small businessmen, meanwhile, assayed the results of cafeteria-style sub-contracting. Results of yesterday's contract clinic in a hotel ballroom were considered encouraging. A dozen representatives of big holders of Government defense orders laid out their specifications on tables and the little fellows, faced with dwindling inventories and the possibility of having to shut down, shopped around for work they could handle. General Electric Co. of Ft. Wayne, Ind, for example, wanted some | small factories to make parts for aircraft motors. A hair tonic manufacturer, C. O’Sheil, made swift contact with Salvus Products, Inc., which wanted him to use his machinery to make surgical sutures and ligatures for the Army and Navy.
