ONCE UPON A TIME A MAN went, into a restaurant in a little town on the Maine coast. season and the restaurant was so crowded there wasn't a

clever idea,

the beach!” A couple of kids breezed out in igh gear; then several men left their meals half-eaten to see the stranded whale. And in a minute or so, the restaurant was empty. “Well,” thought the man, as the Juckier diners rushed by him, “maybe there is a whale down there!” and he followed the crowd down to the harbor also. What brings this story to mind is another story that Myron Green, industrial secretary at the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, tells on himself, Anybody connected with the Chamber of Commerce has to be an optimist, of course. And Myron Green has been fairly optimistic lately about the post-war job prospects here. But when the results of the Committee for Economic Development questionnaires began coming in from factory after factory, his scowl got deeper and deeper. Not that the survey was making a gloomy post-war picture; just the opposite, it was too good to be true! People wouldn't believe it, he thought. So he got George Olive’s accountants to double-check the survey in spots to see if it was “on the beam.” It was, all right. Which explains why the C. E. D. report, which will be made public at the luncheon in the Claypool Monday, is the only

pelled all doubt about the efficlency of the Helldiver builders by awarding them the navy’s “E” award,” For 13 months Helldiver production has been ahead of schedule. Cinderella Story

The Cinderella story of the Cur-tiss-Wright plant began in August, 1940. On a wheatfield just west of Port Columbus the Defense Plant Corp. built the nation’s most mcdern aircraft plant. Of the 23,500 workers recruited by the plant, less than 10 per cent were experienced plane-makers, drawn from other Curtiss-Wright plants. The rest were housewives, college students, farmers, golf pros, country ministers and grocery clerks. Time Is Short Engineers were faced with the problem of designing a new type of ship in less than half the normal time permitted them Bad luck dogged the factory's efforts from the start. In a routine test flight, the prototype of the Helldiver was lost in a crash. An-

Plant Criticized In Truman Report Breaks Jinx to Win Navy 'E' Award

COLUMBUS, O. Nov. 22 (U, P.).—A radically new and improved scout seaplane—the Curtiss SC-1 Seahawk--has been added to the navy's expanding fleet air arm, Rear Adm. Dewitt Clinton Ramsey, chief of the bureau of aeronautics, has disclosed. Ramsey revefiled the existence of the new warplane at army-navy “E” award ceremonies Monday at the Columbus plant of the CurtissWright Corp., where the new ship is in production. Specific details of the plane still are military secrets,

other six months passed befor? another experiment plane could be completed.

Planes Disappear

Meanwhile, ignorant of plant manufacturing processes, workers chafed, Every day they reported for duty, yet after months of work not one dive bomber had been finished. When a few planes finally were built, they seemed to have disappeared into thin air, They had gone to the navy, cf course, for testing. New aircraft workers found it hard to comprehend that 9000 changes were necessary in the Helldiver before it was fit for combat duty. After a thorough check the navy ordered 100 modifications in the ship. Now planes were beginning to move off assembly lines. They

1. LEVY y. :

overflowed onto the air field, awaiting the necessary changes ordered by the navy. Again local observers wondered what was wrong, - Meanwhile, green hands were gaining experience. The plant was on its way. On July 4, 1943, Cur-fiss-Wright sponsored a family day. Employees were beginning to realize that they were building a good plane and were doing an essential war job. ,

Record Absenteeism

Just one week later, on Sunday, July 11, the Truman report was issued. On Monday, reached an all-time high. = What was the use, workers felt, of building planes to gather dust, out on the field, since the Truman committee had said they were useless. Faced with a desperate situation, the plant called in top production specialists, “Get out of our way,” this tough, experienced group insisted. “We're building dive bombers.” Navy Approves

Before long the modified plane came through production testing with the navy’s stamp of approval. The completed planes waiting out on the field were polished up, made combat ready and sent off to the wars. When the first Helldiver went into attion on Armistice day last year they knew that their faith had been rewarded. The senate defense investigation (Truman) committee has kept careful tab on the factory. Production is a smooth-sailing program now.

+ INDIANA JOB FUND

TOPS $161 MILLION

A total balance of “$161,338,249.20 in the trust fund of the Indiana employment seciirity division was reported today by Everett L. Gardner, director, who said that an additional $9,000,000 was expected in January. “We have funds on hand to pay maximum weekly benefits for maximum duration to 65 per cent of workers covered,” the report said “If unemployment was that severe, there would be a collapse of government and no state could meet demands, “We must remember that in 1042, when conversion resulted in heavy benefit payments during January, February, March and April, we still collected $3 for every $1 paid out, To a certain extent that also will be true in the post-war period— we will receive collections on covered pay rolls while we are paying benefits to those eligible and unemployed.” Gardner pointed out that passage of the so-called G. I. bill of rights, carrying unemployment benefits for veterans, had relieved the state pund of a $38,000,000 “potential liability,” but’ he said thatthe state might have a “tremendous problem” arising from some 325,000 out-of-state workers and 200,000 former

the New York Curb Exchange, yesterday told the securities and exchange commission. that unlisted trading privileges should be extended to six securities in order to best, serve the public interest. Among the stocks for which the curb exchange seeks’ unlisted privileges is the common stock of Public Service Co. of Indiana, Inc. of Indianapolis. Lockwood argued that he believed that this case is one of the most important questions to come before the SEC. The application of the curb exchange for the trading privileges was filed July, 1943, and is opposed by the over-the-counter dealers through their National Association of Securities Dealers. “Each of these stocks is widely distributed,” asserted Rockwood, “and has been actively traded in. Yet, the management has refused to list.” Stephen Thayer, counsel to N. A. 8. D.,, refuted Lockwood and contended that “there is not sufficient

tivity to warrant listing on the exchange.”

MICHIGAN FIRM MAY REBATE $1,000,000

LANSING, Mich., Nov. 22 (U. P.). —Gilbert T.

Shilson said the rate case was closed except for a final check of the company's books. On Nov. 29, according to Shilson, the question before the commission will be whether to allow the $192,000 claimed by the company in accelerated depreciation. If this is not allowed, then a refund of more than $1,000,000 will be ordered for customers of the company, the majority of which are located in Detroit and its suburbs, Grand Rapids and Port Huron, Shilson said.

NOTES BUSINESS] CHANGING TUNE

U. S. Now Willing te Accept Lower- Tariff and Higher Imports.

By ALLEN HADEN Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-~Amer-ican manufacturing has come of age as the low-tariff position taken by the American delegation at the Rye international business confer-

ence proves. Infant industries, protected into gawky adolescence by the Fordney=-

Hawley tariffs, apparently, can now challenge competition anywhere— and accept challenges of competition from any quarter—without being automatically at a disadvantage. This conversion of U. 8, business from high to low tariff has taken place only if very recent years, It is so new indeed, that this correspondent, who has been abroad, had) been unaware of it. Yet, Eugene P. Thomas, president of the National Foreign Trade council, talks of “the break which the U. 8S. has made in some important directions with the reactionary doctrines of previous decades, relating to world trade and commerce.” He then gives credit to Cordell Hull's reciprocal trade agreements,

. Obligations Realized

“In recent years, we have realized more clearly our obligations as a creditor nation. The reciprocal tariff trade agreements have reversed the previous policy of unilateral tariff making,” says Thomas. “ While the word “obligations” should more properly have been “self interest,” nevertheless, this is strong stuff from big business no matter how you slice it.

High Tariff Blamed for "29

What has happened is that U. 8. public opinion has taken.25.years to accustom itself to the fact that we make money by exporting less than we import, The U, 8. became a creditor nation in 1917, and thereafter its interests, which up to that time had been in high tariffs, changed and now lay in low tariffs. That U. 8. big business, as reflected by the Republican party, failed to understand this point is generally considered to be one of the cqntrihutory causes of the 1929 crash. Now, however, American manufacturing business, especially, recognizes the necessity of importing goods from abroad—which amounts to allowing foreign nations to pay us their debts—in order to export some American specialties and thus help maintain a high level of employment within the U. 8.

Huge U, 8. Market Seen

Conservation of national resources also caused American .businessmen assembled at Rye to favor low tariffs, and put little emphasis on huge exports. Why export, they asked, until Texas and California wells run dry and the Mesabi iron range has been whittled to nubbins? American businessmen have now come to agree with such economists as Secretary of State Hull that the American consumption market is a great trading weapon in world diplomacy.

Credit Petitions Dropped

80 powerful is it that when the delegates from other countries to last week's Rye conference learned of the low tariff convictions of the American delegation, the petitions for post-war credits which most of them had been ready to present— and which may have totalled $100,000,000,000—were dropped. All foreign businessmen saw that a chance to sell in the American market allows them to reconstruct their own devastated plants without borrowing huge sums of money,

American delegation at Rye to fulfillment in reduced tariff schedules there is a long, long way.

BRITISH SAY AIR PLAN A FAILURE

London Paper Advocates World Control as

‘Sheer Realism. "By EDWARD P. MORGAN +

Times Foreign Correspondent LONDON, Nov. 22.—The London Daily Herald, which is the unofficial mouthpiece of British trade unions, today bluntly blamed Britain, the U. 8. and Russia for the “failure” of the International Civil Aviation conference in Chicago. In the most outspoken criticism yet made here of the conference compromises, The Herald's lead editorial said: “It is time that we saw fhe red light—those of us whose aim is internal co-operation for world peace and prosperity. “The red light is gleaming balefully from the city of Chicago,” where delegates of more than 50 nations are grappling with a “problem on whose successful solution the future peace of mankind may well depend,” the editgrial added.

Big 3 Blamed

“Far from attaining this objective, the conference has but served to emphasize the failure of leading governments to realize their responsibility and rise to their opportunity. “It shows American representatives battling for American ‘supremacy’ in givil aviation; Russia standing coldly aloof, and Britain playing a miserable role of appeasement, trying to win consent of international co-operation, which even had it been accepted, would come nowhere near fulfilling the real need.” The article deplored the defeat of the joint Australian-New Zealand proposal for complete international

RECORD SET BY STATE FARMERS

Reports Biggest Hog and Cattle Output

= In Indiana History.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. 22 (U, P.) .—Purdue university experts an= nounced today that Indiana farme ers produced in 1944 the greatest

number of hogs and beef cattle in the history of the state. The report also showed an increase in poultry production of 25 per cent in the last five yedrs; an increase of about one-third in egg production in the same period, and a one-year increase of 45 per cent in the turkey industry. Hog production figures raised from 3,405,000 in 1939 to 5,322,000 in 1944, and Hoosier hog-raisers made $225,000,000 in 1943.

Cattle Increase Seen

Cattle numbers were boosted from a total of 1,603,000 head five years ago to 1,932,000, this year, the .experts said. An increase of 75,000 dairy cows meant an extra 2,000,000 pounds of milk since 1939, totaling more than 3,400,000 pounds last year.
