Efficiency of War Plant Workers
«By ROGER BUDROW
B. ‘DECENT LUNCHES FOR WAR WORKERS have been found to cure some of the troubles that plague war production, such as absenteeism and accidents. One of ‘the lead-
ing concerns in better-feeding i
is Servel, Inc., of Evansville,
Just how much of it is due to Servel’s “victory” luncheons would be a hard thing to determine but the company rethat after four months of its nutrition program, absen-
furs dropped 19 per cent.
One large war plant in IndianepQlis is noted for its excellent lunches. Prices are low, quality high. The lunch wagons and cafeteria are allowed to take a 5 per cent loss — and usually do. On the other hand, another large war concern has had considerable difficulty because workers complained of the poor cafeteria. , A Trenton, : J, concern gives Mr. Budrow a half-pint of milk to 1500 employees . during a fiveminute recess every mid-day. Government nutrition experts also suggest fruit juices - and sandwiches of enriched bread to combat poor breakfasts” ‘and fatigue.
The commissary is a ple. of ingenuity, It is a. big er: with waiters meals bios electric steam tables, - four five-gallons thermos urns and two soup containers. It rolls through the factory and serves workers on the job. : ® ” » : THE, BRITISH may follow our ple in public works to prevent economic depression. A “TVA” in the Scottish highlands has been proposed. ‘The usual arguments about “spoiling the scenic beauty”
‘and government competition with
private enterprise have come up.. The electricity would be sold chiefly to two factories (carbide and electrode plants) and Author Julian Huxley complained that the plans lacks the TVA’ feature of supplying
power and aid to marginal farmers,

. Rep. Forest A. Harness (R. Ind.) said today in Washington that the war department's glider contracts with National Aircraft Corp. Elwood, Ind. were canceled because the army said the company was not in a position to go ahead and produce the planes. “And that closes the whole issue
as far as I am concerned,” Harness N.|said, adding that no further ex-
planation for the contract cancellation was given by the war department and he had no intention to inquire further. “I have criticized the army for keeping five men out there, spending $1,000,000, and in 2 year and three months producing only one
a :good| glider,” he added.
The cancellation of the contracts with National Aircraft was announced recently by the war department following two investigations of the company’s failure to produce the planes. : 8 » ® ZENITH RADIO CORP. locks out
through the personnel department before coming back fo’ work, J. J. Ferrero, production co-ordinator, told the «Illinois Manufacturers’ Costs association. “When they ‘get back to their machines, there's a dummy of Hitler, Mussolini or Hirohito dangling above them. Their names are placed on the bulletin-board—right next to the honor roll of men and women in the armed forces. And to top it off, they get paid for their needless absenteeism in. Hitler money.” Mr, Ferrero said, “We lose more absentees that way.” # # 2 PACKARD MOTOR CAR CO's. net income of $4,726,237 or 31 cents a common share was the best in six years, despite a $2,000,000. reserve for contingencies and post-war adjustments.

the first to undertake general household moving by air. Since. their application was filed, however, a Ft. Dodge, Iowa, transfer Sompany petitioned for permission to transport general commodities by air between ‘five Eastern and 12 Midwestern cities. The Dillner company proposes to handle uncrated household goods in the same manner as now handled in furniture vans, plus movement of crated articles such as breakable pieces, drapes, etc. Office furniture machines and machinery are also included. ] THe concern has not drawn up regular routes of schedules because the service will be on call and demand. Basis of assessing minimum charges will be for a distance of 200 miles on all traffic. Flights of less than 200 miles will be discouraged. The level of rates proposed will be about 10 per cent more than the Piflesse ¥ Tates now puliishig by the Household Goods Carriers bureau.
SEC Charges Broker Made $300,000, Customer $7.90!

Woman’s Work of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, for whom Mrs. Ina Davis Fulton, New York, acted as treasurer. John T. Cahill, New York, attorney representing Rollins & Sons, denied the charges and said that Woman’s Work received more than $130,000 in interest alone for the period to which Hoffman referred. “These accounts are in excellent shape,” he said. “Throughout the period of years that Rollins & Sons administered the accounts, officers sought a high yield investment. The actual return to the ‘victim’ accounts was 6.9 per cent.” Hoffman also charged that most of the bonds sold to Woman's Work were speculative securities. “Not one single triple-A bond, as of Dec. 31, 1942, was in the Woman's Work account,” he said. ‘There |Medn was not one grade-A bond. Prac-
Hoffman charged that Woman's Work was made “to bear substantially all the losses 'accumulated in other accounts.” He charged that the profit on

“In general,” Hoffman said, “the amount of Rollins’ profit was equivalent to the difference between the market and the sales price of the bonds.”
