Millions Suddenly Jobless?

Maybe we won't have & big unemployment problem after this war. But unless industry can reconvert for peacetime production very rape idly, millions of people may be suddenly jobless for months, and useful public projects should be ready to take up the slack immeditely. “But you can’t even build a good chicken coop without plans,” Gen. Fleming told contractors and officials in California the other day, “sites or rights-of-way must be acquired, engineering surveys made, working drawings prepared, specifications written, contract documents drawn up, before the first construction worker gets a job. A few states, counties and cities have engineers and architects at work, but for the most pazt this kind of planning is still in the after-dinner-speech-making stage.”

Urges Action Soon

One reason is that so many states, counties and cities—though better able than in many years to pay for their own. public “works— are waiting in the belief that the federal government will come along and help them again, Gen, Fleming advocates federal aid, at least in the planning. But he hopes congress will declare a policy very soon. Either vote federal aid for planning, or tell the states, counties and cities that there will be none and that it's up to them to get their OWRD lans ready. :
