2 Planning Board _ Favors > Grants to Aid Post-War Reconversions.
(This is the last of a series of stories dealing with the post-war and social security program avocated by the national | resources ¥" planning board.)
* By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent : WASHINGTON, March 17.—Outright federal grants to war-weak-ened industries are part of the national resources planning = board plan for post-war demobilization of war plants and their reconversion to ‘peace-time businesses. The plan amounts in simpler terms to a dole for plants that will not be able to walk unaided over what undoubtedly will be a rocky path from war psoduction to the ‘competitive business of peace. “Numerous business enterprises will be in poor financial condition by the end of the war,” the board said in its post-war planning report to congress, referring particularly to those “concerned with the distribution of consumer goods.”
* Proposes Reserve Fundy
Several steps to aid conversion of Mis type of business were proposed by the board, including: 1. Immediate provision in federal tax laws to permit business enterprises to set up their own post-war conversion reserve funds to be used within a short, fixed period after their war cgntracts terminate. x. 2. Low interest government loans. 3. Limited plant rehabilitation grants for conversion of plants to peacetime production. 4, Temporary subsidies for conversion «in cases where the local population “would be forced into idleness if the conversion were delayed or not undertaken.” Because of the technological progress during war, when new processes are born daily, some factories which have been forced to close because of lack of essential war materials “will never open again unless new uses can be found for them.”
Some Plants Foredoomed
Technical advice from the governent, together with financial asce, was prescribed as the best possible remedy for this. . Little prospect for post-war conversion was held, however, for such strictly wartime facilities as powder anid explosive plants. Seventy per cent of the government-financed war plants in six southeastern states are in this foredoomed category, the

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR NEW YORK, March 17 (U.

QUARTERS, Australia, March 17.— One year ago- today two Flying Fortresses rolled in for a landing on Australian soil and a tall man
army ‘trousers and a bush jacket stepped out of one of them. Gen. > |Douglas ‘MacArthur had arrived
. {from the besieged Philippines to
take - command of united nations forces here. . On the first anniversary of his assumption of command, MacArthur still is a long way from the goal he set in his first public statement:
States ordered me to break through the Japanese lines and proceed from Corregidor to Australia for the purpose, as.I understand it, of organizing the American offensive against Japan. A primary purpose of this is the relief of the Philippines. I came through and I shall return.” ‘ But his men have won important defensive victories, and he. has changed the temper of the Australian people from dark despair to optimism, Now It Can Be Told .Now it is possible to tell some things that could not be told in the black days when the Japanese hordes were over-running Singapore, the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies. ! Australia was almost. defenseless when MacArthur arrived.’ Her best troops were far ,overseas. In .the battle of Malaya she had lost one entire division almost before it could go into action. Australia, with a long, vulnerable coast line that is difficult to defend, felt almost as Britain did after Dunkirk. She was open to invasion from almost every direction.
WORKERS" ROLE IN WAR LAUDED
Atkins Tells Rotary of Part Hand Craftsmen Take In Industry:
The importance of hand craftsmen in the war effort was emphasized yesterday by Keyes W. Atkins, vice president in charge of sales for the E. C. Atkins & Co., who spoke at the luncheon meeting of the Rotary club. “Many of our. processes in the manufacturing of saws are done by machines,” he said, “but some of them can be done better by skilled hand workers.” Three of the processes better done by hand, he said, are the smithing, or straightening of circular and hand saws, setting the teeth, and filing the teeth of fine grade saws.
Introduces Workers
To demonstrate how it is done, Mr. Atkins introduced three skilled workers—William: Shaw, Ray Mock and Harry Myers—who illustrated the three hand processes. Mr. Atkins said that the 1900 per
by his company through defense and war contracts made it vital that their training course be intensified and expanded greatly. From training about 100 workers in 1941, the company jumped its program to turning out mere than 1000 skilled employees in 1942,
New Departments Formed
The company now is 96 per- cent engaged in war work, Mr. Atkins said, explaining that several new departments have been organized. Qne is the armor plate unit and ‘thé ‘other is the manufacturing of circular metal cutting saws. ‘The Atkins firm was the only one in this country turning out giich saws when Germany blitzed Great Britain, he said, and that country was forced to depend entirely on the local company for such saws when their factories were knocked out.

The common talk cenfered around speculation about which direction the Japs would come from. . Timor, Tasmania, New Zealand, New Caledonia or New Guinea—all ‘had their adherents among amateur strategists speculating on what point the Japanese would * choose as their invasion springboard.
MacArthur's first task was’ to ‘build a defensive force out of the fragments of Australian and Dutch troops that were available. There was. no talk of an offensive in those days; in fact, everybody was busy working out a plan for a last-ditch stand designed to: save Australia’s principal cities in: event the Japanese over-ran .the hinterlands. - The United: States army:air force, working ‘against tremendous odds, held Port Darwin and Port Moresby, in New Guinea, while MacArthur's staff developed the available forces into a defensive team.

the war or cause
in Africa or a successful invasion Hitler evidently is banking heave ily on his spring and summer allout submarine campaign, which apparently already has started. German propaganda is boasting of results achieved so far this month. The entire German fleet is reported assembled at Trondheim. in northern Norway. Allied quarters expect it to put to sea in an effort to cut the Arctic supply line to Russia, and perhaps into the Atlantic to work with the submarine packs. When he was "appointed commander-in-chief of the German navy, Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz, a “submarine man,” said the entire fleet would be devoted to the Uboat. campaign. Hitler now is on the defensive as the allied ring tightens around him. He is fighting for time, in the hope that if the allied assault can be put pover until next year, his submarines will have so weakened allied supply

“tanks, guns and ships in small. but
encouraging quantities. ‘Gradually the united nations began to. win successes—Milne bay, Sapua, the battle of the Coral sea, Japanese convoys were placed under|almost ‘constant attack.
- Enemy Was Checked
_ The . result was that the enemy was checked. MacArthur used his first year here to win a stalemate. The fluid, . uncertain front that existed a year ago has been frozen into strong defensive positions on
_ both sides:
Now it is a race to see who will mount the most men and equipment along the defensive line and then move over to the offensive.
MacArthur seldom is seen by his troops here and even less seldom by Australian civilians. ‘He avoids social ‘complications by never accepting private invitations, He lives’ with his wife and 6-year-old son, Douglas, in a comfortable apartment near headquarters. His day starts at 7 a. m., when he is likely to read dispatches which have accumulated overnight before having breakfast. invites staff officers in for breakfast conferences. Gen. MacArthur goes to his office between 9:30 and 10 a. m. and confers’ on operational problems until 2 p.'m., when he has luncheon. The late afternoon and early evening usually is devoted to receiving nonniilitary callers and then he goes ‘home shortly after 7 p. m. to
have dinner with his family.
s War Moves
By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst
The anti-submarine campaign being drafted by
and Canadian experts in Washing-
ton is directed ‘at coping with the only weapon still available to Hitler with which he can hope to win
a stalemate.
The supply problem is one of the biggest confronting the allies because of the great distances which have to be covered by sea to reach Europe, Africa and Russia through dangerous waters. If the supply system breaks down, victory
of Europe would be impossible.
lines that invasion of Europe will be more hazardous than it is now. Prime Minister Churchill recognized the danger when he told commons today that overcoming the, submarine menace has first place in all inter-allied war plans. Hitler's desperate need for delay is shown by the men and material he has squandered to reinforce Marshal Rommel in Africa. He knows he must lose there eventually. “The big allied offensive in Tunisia gpparently is about to start, however, and ensuing weeks should put the issue to a test. It is not impossible, as an -effort to forestall an allied invasion, that Hitler will attempt a major diversion in Europe. That could take the form of mass bombing of Britain, the use of poison gas and perhaps extensive commando raids on the English coast at heavy sacrifice.

oragioc of Four Senators May Go to 3-Man * Subcommittee. WASHINGTON, March’ 17: (U. B.). —The proposal of four senators for an - ‘immediate allied council on current and post-war problems faces its. first hurdle today—a senate foreign relations committee headed by an open antagonist. At the committee's regular wegkly meeting, Chairman Tom Connally (D. Tex.) is expected to refer the proposal to a three-man subcommittee composed of Senators Walfer PF. George (D. Ga.), Guy M. Gillette (D. Ia) and Arthur H. Vandenberg (R. Mich.). There it may be subject to drastic amendment. Although none of. the subcommittee members have discussed the specific resolution, all of them are known to favor the utmost caution in placing the senate on record for any definite ‘post-war international policy. ; Warns Against Debate
Connally spoke out sharply against precipitate senate . action yesterday in answer to the new resolution. He warned against any move which would open “a bitter and almost endless debate over controversial questions” at a time when unity and co-operation he and abroad are “imperative.” x The four authors of the new resolution—Senators Lister Hill (D. Ala.), Carl Hatch (D. N. M.), Har-
Ball (R.:Minn.)—took a different view. They insisted that an expression now by the senate, which must ratify any peace treaty, would help to unify the united nations. White House “General”

in proportion to the rest of her figure, and also has a short waist generally has two problems to fight One is just plain bad corseting The other'is a semblafice of good corseting which she achieves through expensive and lengthy alterations Let’s take the bad corseting first The easiest way to control this particular figure type is with a girdle Then you don’t have to worry abou the short waist at all. You jus ignore it. But the girdle very firm to hold the hipline in A firm girdle, however, cannot mel the flesh away. It merely shifts it to another section of the figure In this instance, because the thighs are generally as large, in proportion as the hips, the girdle pushes the flesh up into a roll "of fat above the waistline of the girdle where there should never be any excess flesh at all—especially with
mm that particular spot. The result of this bad ccrseting is an -extremely bad silhouette. Because while the hipline may look smaller, the waistline is larger and. seems to be much shorter’ and dumpier than it really is. The other method Jf fitting a figure of this type is with an all-in-one. We'll try to show you how to do it successfully without extensive’ alterations, This type of figure is slimmer and shorter - above the waistline than it is below it. Therefore, the ordinary all-in-one which fits and controls the hipline, is too wide and too long at the bust and waistline. The brassiere and waistline sections have to be re-shdaped and cut down to meet the demands of the figure. The result of these all-over alterations is that entire line of the foundation is lost because the corset was never designed to be altered so drastically. Our suggestion for this type figure is the LeGant Half Size foundation sketched here and especially designed to solve this problem. It is
