Post-war army and navy contract termination plans were outlined before more than 400 Indianapolis and Indiana war manufacturers here yesterday, as high ranking service officers conducted a conference school on contract termination and Sliise problems at the Claypool
: 1. 8. Watson, vice-president of Link-Belt Co, and chairman of the manufacturers’ committee of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, presided at the luncheon. The school, one of a series being conducted at key production points over the nation, was sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, the Indiana Manufacturers’ Association and the Jeffersonville Quartermaster Depot. Big. Gen. Guy I. Rowe, commanding genéral of the Jeffersonville depot, asserted that the army is seeking a complete conversion from war to peacetime ' production as rapidly as possible. Speaking on “Problems in Industrial Readjustment,” he said war contracts approximating $12,000,000,000 have been terminated, against a total of $2,000,000,000 which existed at tne conclusion of world war I. Termination in Indiana has kept pace with the national increase. Another army spokesman, Lt. Col,
industrial demobilization division of Jeffersonville depot, said contract termination will not be an impossible job. Describing the termination as “procurement in reverse,” he said disposal of property will be carried out in an orderly and systematic fashion and will not interfere with a healthy reconversion schedule.

SET ON EXTRA GAS|
Appeals for supplemental trans- | port gasoline rations for the current quarter will not be processed by the office of defense transpor- | tation here if they are received dur- | ing the last seven days of the quar-| ter, George F. Burnett, Indianap-| olis “district manager of the ODT,! disclosed today. The new procedure will become effective in this quarter, he said, meaning that appeals received dur- | ing the week beginning Sept. 24 for additional gasoline for the quar-' ter ending Sept. 30 will not be processed.
i 1
Regular requests for adjustments not involving the third quarter! will be handled in the usual man- | ner in the last week of the month, ! Mr. Burnett said. Reason for the change is that appeals filed in the last week of the quarter too often are not completed until after the period tn Which they were valid has expired, he said.

Ernie Lauded In the Senate
* WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 (U. P).—Senator Carl A. Hatch (D. N. M.) yesterday praised _ the work of Indianapolis Times correspondent Ernie Pyle as “performed magnificently and bravely.” Hatch read to the senate the last dispatch filed by Pyle from France, in which he said he hated “terribly to leave right now but if I had to write one more column I'd collapse.” “Personally I regret his leaving the war just on the eve of victory,” Hatch said, “but as one of his admirers I am glad he’s returning to our state of New Mexico, where the sunshine ‘will fully heal war’s cruel hurt.” Hatch predicted that after Pyle rests a while he “will go war horsing to some far distant island to describe the . conditions under which our sons fight and die that the sons of all men may be free.” “I take this opportunity to express my own appreciation of his great work,” Hatch said.

P. A. C. Aid Says His Remarks Were Distorted By GOP Nominee.
Describing Republican = senatorial nominee Homer T. Capehart “as noisy as the juke boxes he manufactures,” Powers Hapgood, Indizna state chairman of the C. I. O. Political “Action Committee, yesterday issued a denial of Mr. Capehart’s
“Mr. Capehart's statement that ‘the ultimate aim of the P. A. J. is to take over the New Deal and Jeffersonian wing of the Democratic party and merge them into a national Socialist party’ is a completely inaccurate report of a statement made by me Wednesday at a meeting addressed by Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President,” Mr. Hapgood said. “His statement is typical of the G. O. P. politicians who always smear something they do not understand,” he said,
“P, A. C. Non-Partisan”
Mr. Hapgood reiterated that the aim of the P. A. C. is non-partisan
candidates, nominated by major parties, whose record has been fair to the people. “I indicated that it was far better for members of minority parties to co-operate with a great people's movement like the P. A. C,, than to branch out into little political parties whose platforms might happen to appeal to them more than that of a larger group.” He denied that he had said a labor party with aims similar to the Socialist party was the aim of the P. A.C. “ "While T did say that thousands of members of minority parties were now in support of the P. A. C., the fact of the matter is that the C.1.0. Political Action Committee is composed not only of a few thousand former members of minority parties but of 15,000,000 or 20,000,000 Democrats and Republicans.”
NEED UNITY FOR JOBS: CAPEHART
Sees Problem as Task of Business; Gates Also
At Vincennes. Times Special
business of providing jobs is a job for business; a job which will require the united effort of industry, of labor, and of agriculture,” Homer E. Capehart, Republican nominee for U. S. senator, told a Knox county rally here last night. . “It will require the ability and experience of men who have provided jobs, who have met payrolls, to restore the civilian industrial capacity of this nation, and keep labor gainfully employed.” Mr. Capehart also strongly criticized Selective Service Director Lewis Hershey for “planning to hold up demobilization because it was about as cheap to keep men in the army as it was to create an agency for them when they were discharged.”
Gates on Program
Speaking on the same program, Ralph F. Gates, G. O. P. gubernatorial candidate, said that much of the direction of a rehabilitation program for service men would come from mayors and municipal governments. He pointed out that nearly 70 per cent of the peqple in| Indiana live in citiés or towns. Mr. Gates also announced plans for conferring with “representative citizens from various branches of government” so that the state government would be prepared to furnish the overall pattern that could be modified to meet local circumstances.

the western front already has been fought. = Armored pincers will simply keep on stabbing first here, then there, until Germany itself is overrun— just as Northern France and -Bel-
gium have been overrun in the past few days.
How long this will take is a matter of the least concern to the allies. Most think the jig will be up by early November, a This includes some conservatives who a few weeks ago wouldn't even guess at all, Gen. Eisenhower himself went before 100 newspapermen in London last week and repeated a statement he made in Algiers last Christmas: That the Nazis would be licked in '44 if everyone does his part. It is no secret that the speed of the allied advance is governed only by the time it takes for supplies to catch up with the gasoline-devour-ing tanks. Allied commanders are cheered by the progress which they say would have been absolutely impossible except for Hitler's blind strategy of holding and choosing to slug it out until his withdrawal turned into first a retreat and then a rout. It is to be expected that isolated pockets’ of resistance. will be encountered here and there and the allies are ready for them. The Nazis may try to stand on the Siegfried line, but this is causing no great concern. Though peace feeler rumors began ‘to fly during”the past week as allied armies neared the border of Germany, one can say with absolute certainty that nothing of a nature serious enough to require the attention of the military has been received to date.
