Liberation of Paris a Big Help In Revitalizing French Industry « — By BOGER BUDROW THE LIBERATION OF PARIS and the riotous caleba.

good reading that most of us
Jon’t stop to realize that freeing the capital means every-

jlarron’s, but they are merely Despite the publicity it has been| given as a city of fashions and f1ivolities, Paris is the second great"rt industrial city on the continent, i.» next to Moscow. | It has large metallurgical industries, -chemical plants, food, textile and printing! concerns.

Paris is not in such a fortunate j osition in other ways, however. *, wo-thirds of the French coal pro- ¢ action is near the Belgian border, ¢ ill in German hands. France altrays has had to import coal and tow will have to make up for this onemy-held portion also, temposarily. Railroad networks and inland vaterways, the latter capable of bringing 500-ton barges into the city, connect Paris with most regions of France. » ” 2 GROCERY MANUFACTURERS “re afraid the public thinks they rre getting rich out of the high ood prices.

LIFE INSURANCE companies have sold more than $340 million worth of real estate in the past 12 months, and have $200 million worth under contract of sale now, making $540 million either sold or ‘mnder contract of sale. It's about Balf farm and half city property. This makes a deep cut on the $3 billion worth of real estate the insurance companies iook over during the depression. They hold about $1 billion worth now. ” ” ”

METROPOLITAN RICHEST FIRM
Bell Replaced by Insurance Company; Ford Joins Billion-Dollar Club.
Copyright, 1944, by United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 26 (U. P)— The Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. during the past year replaced the Bell Telephone System as the largest private business enterprise in this country, a United Press survey showed today. The study also disclosed that membership in the billion-dollar club—comprised of business enterprises with total resources of $1,000,000,000 or more—has increased to 41 from 38 at this time last year. The latest total of 41 organizations compares with 32 on Dec. 31, 1941, a short time after the U. S. entered the war. The 41 business giants, on the basis of latest available statistics, possess aggregate assets of $2,504,426,132 against $82,830,944,287 for these same companies at the close of 1942. All but two of the current members—U. S. Steel Carp. and Consolidated Edison Co. of New York, Inc. —showed year-to-year increases in their assets, the survey revealed. The three new members to join the billion-dollar club during the past year were the Aetna Life Affiliated Companies, Socony-Vacuum 0il Co., and the Ford Motor Co. The Aetna group consists of the Aetna Life Insurance Co.—almost a bil-lion-dollar organization by itself — the Aetna Casualty & Surety Co. the Automobile Insurance Co. and Standard Fire Insurance Co. The latest enrollment of billionaire enterprises comprises sixteen banks, nine insurance companies, seven industrial or manufacturing concerns, six railroads and three
New Heat Lamp Is Produced
BLOOMFIELD, N. J, Aug. 29 (U. P.). — An infra-red radiant heat lamp that has cut drying time of freshly painted tanks by 23 hours and 56 minutes will be | “one of the great new post-war heat sources” for speeding drying jobs in the home and in industry, J. D. Hall, Westinghouse lamp division engineer, predicted today. The drying time of the tanks has been reduced from 24 hours to the amazing space of four minutes. Hall declared that heat lamps have been applied in industry chiefly to war-time drying jobs bit that a vast indicated expansion in industrial uses, particularly in automobile” plants, textile mills and food dehydration plants, offer the “brightest prospects” after the war.

Allied Spending Reported Light; Most Black Markets Cease.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29 (U. P.).— An optimistic report on the effect of allied occupation on the French economy was issued by the war department today, showing that prices in Normandy followed a downward trend since liberation and that most black markets had ceased to exist. The report, submitted to the war department by supreme allied head-
quarters, supported similar assertions by Secretary of the Treas-

OUTPUT LAGS IN
13 WAR ITEMS
400,000 More Workers Needed to Meet Navy,
Army Demands.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29 (U. P). —The office of war information reported today that production is
|lagging critically in 13 key war inIdustries and said that nearly 400,000
more workers were needed to bring the output up to the level set by demands of the armed forces. Drawing on information from the war production board and war manpower commission, the OWT report said that overall production in the 13 categories was close to originally established goals but that it was lagging badly in the light of revised requirements based largely on combat experience in France and Italy. War Manpower Commissioner Paul V. McNutt pledged that every effort would be made to get the programs up to schedule and that workefs would be transferred from other jobs “even though this will adversely affect activities hitherto considered essential.” The 13 critical production categories were listed as tires, tire cord, heavy trucks, tanks, heavy guns, heavy gun ammunition, signal equipment, shipbuilding, ship repairs, lumber, basic lumber products, cotton duck and food processing.
Critical Categories Outlined
The OWI gave this picture of each category: Shipbuilding and Repair — Every plane carrier scheduled and more cruisers than contracted for were delivered in the first half of 1944, but output of warships and merchantmen fell behind schedule in June and July. An additional 110,000 workers needed by the end of the year, 35,000 of them in west coast yards. Tires and Cord—=Synthetic rubber production ahead of schedule. But output of tires unlikely to reach the 18,000,000 goal for 1944. An estimated 11,100 workers needed in tiretuilding plants and another 4400 in {he cord-making industry. Trucks and Tanks—A sharp boost needed in production during the rest of the year “to carry out the pattern of attack that has proved so successful in France.” An estimated 6600 foundry and forge
needed ip engine plants. Ammunition Workers Needed
Artillery and Ammunition — Production schedules have been “stepped up so sharply “since May that new manpower problem was Some 76,000 workers needed, including 40,000 for bombs and shell-loading plants and 16,-
"l000 for production of guns and
shells. Signal Equipment — 22,000 New workers needed in key electronics plants by the end of the year. High
i rate of “quits” among workers and
another 12,000 monthly may be needed as replacements.” Lumber and Lumber Products— Production expected to reach 3,500,000,000 board feet this year, nearly 2,000,000,0000 short of expected consumption. Employment moving upward but some 57,000
more workers needed by Sept. 1.
Cotton Duck — Production expected to reach 50,000,000 yards, far increased military needs, unless 4,600 workers can be hired each month. Food Processing — An additional 45,200 seasonal workers are needed through September.

0-OPERATE OR GET OUT—KRUG
| New WPB Boss Tells Board|
To Agree or ‘Not Work -
Here.’
‘WASHINGTON, ‘Aug. 29 (U, P.. ~Rival factions within the embattled war production board were faced today with a blunt co-oper-ate-or-get-out’ edict © from the agency's new acting boss, J. A. Krug. - He announced his determination to bring harmony to the WPH at 2 special meeting yesterday with the special senate war investigating committee whose chairman, Senator James M. Mead (D. N.Y), said later that Krug had “made a good impression.” Krug declared that the “crowds” who back Chairman Donald M. Nelson, now on a White House mission to China, and those who backed Just-resigned Executive Vice Chair-
. {man Charles E. Wilson, are “either
going to be in one group or they are not going to work here.” “In other words, if they don't cooperate you'll discharge them and solve the difficulty that way?” asked Senator Homer Ferguson (R.Mich.). “I have every intention that they are going to work together,” Krug said. Weinberg Resigns
While Krug met with the committee, Sidney J. Weinberg, WPB trou-ble-shooter who sought to smooth difficulties between Nelson and Wilson, resigned, He said Wilson's resignation was a “great tragedy” and predicted that the “demagogic intriguers” who caused it would ve banished soon. The acting WPB boss told the senators that his two basic policies would be “to answer all critical shortages” and to create a “unified organization with a prepared plan for quick reconversion.” He said he was “in complete accord” with Nelson's plan for resumption of civilian production in areas where there is no manpower or material shortages.
Agency Streamlining Promised
At the present time, Krug said, there are “too many complicated controls in WPB,” and he promised his utmost to eliminate as many as possible and streamline the agency for reconversion. He said that the WPB would be ready to proceed immediately with a reconversion program if Germany collapsed tomorrow. He explained that there is no final draft of a “reconversion bible” at the present time, but added that “hundreds of men have been working on reconversion and a reconversion plan, contained in a number of reports is already prepared.” He promised to submit a wellrounnded plan, based on those reports, within two weeks. President Roosevelt called on Krug to take over acting direction of WPB following Wilson's resignation last week and his subsequent denunciation of Nelson for assertedly delaying reconversion planning. Mr. Roosevelt said later that he was not sure whether Nelson would still be WPB chairman when he returned.

NEW ‘YORK, Aug. 209.—How to
committee of the American Society a scientific answer. three, but meanwhile . distribution progress has been on a war holiday,” says Fenton B. Turck, pr in the New York’ engineering {i of Turck, Hill & Co. and chaitman of the A. S. M. E. committee. ~ “The Committee for Economic Development and other organizations have performed ably in making industry conscious of the vital importance of high employment—tomorrow’s jobs, Trade unions have contributed. ' “But it is absurd to suppose that high production and high employment will continue on the scale essential after the war unless business and industry do some revolutionary things to what has been the ‘fifth wheel’ of the industrial process — marketing, getting the goods away from the factories, selling and delivering them on fast schedule and in vast quantity. Our Customer Is War “We're inclihed to be so exhilagated by our magnificent production effort, with everybody working, that we forget the nature of our customer, war, In peacetime, jobs are created, not by a single huge customer, but by orders from myriad customers. “It will take better selling, marketing, distribution then we have dreamed of heretofore to create the orders to support fullscale employment after peace returns. “Marketing will be the major factor, the branch of industry upon which will rest responsibility for success or failure. “This gets down to the kernel of our national problem. Free enterprise will survive in this country only if it convinces the majority of the people that it can and does afford the best yay of life for them.
Must Provide Opportunity
“It must maintain a satisfactory number of jobs, at wages that create adequate buying power. It must provide the ambitious with opportunities for advancement. It must supply a rich variety of goods, of - high. quality, ‘at reasonable prices, . “Those are. the elements of the American standard “of living for which our system will be held accountable, after this war, on a higher level than we have ever known.
“Industry, to do {ts part In
' {achieving those goals, must look
to the end product of" its whole process, price to the consumer, It is not enough to keep factory costs low by efficient production.”
Policy Summarized
Mr. Turck and his partner, Wil. liam E. Hill, recently wrote an article, “Scientific Methods of Distribution,” which has been widely reprinted and discussed since its publication in Mechanical Engineering magazine. Their objective for an efficient post-war distribution system, briefly summarized, are: 1. Lower the prices of products to the consumer on Main strebt.

of Mechanical Engineers is seeking
“We've made 10 years’ progress in ability to produce during the last
markets, “9. Center on the most vulnerable spot—distribution cost between the factory loading shed and the consumer. The 59 cents of the consumer’s average dollar which has gone for distribution in the past must either be pared down or made to work more effectively. The Turck committee's program is to make an engineering survey of distribution problems and their effect on the national economy, and to report findings at the A.8.M. Es annual meeting. Analysis to Be Made The committee will make a clinical analysis of such factors as the proper functions of wholesaler and retailer, warehousing, transporta-
| tion, decentralized production points,
the relationship of distribution to corporate policy, and the produce tive use of advertising. “Instead of a series of unrelated operations, distribution can be linked into an engineered production line, running smoothly from factory to consumer, with functional operations comparable to the modern production line,” says Mr, Turck. “For 30 years and more, sciene tific engineering methods have been applied, progressively and inten sively, to the manufacturing end of industry.
