merce, safd: “So far as is known at this time, all of our large war industries will® remain in operation after the war, These plants will provide substantial post-war employment. But .a large percentage of post-war employment gains will be made by small industries—institutions that were actiye for many years prior to the war”

Study Reconversion

The C. E. D,, in its questionnaires, attempted to learn what the job situation would be during the reconversion period, but admitted in its report that -while almost all industries felt the reconversion period would be reasonably brief, they couldn't give accurate employment estimates. “While a majority of the smaller industries and quite a few of the larger ones indicate that reconver-| sion will present no serious employment problems, there are a few major industries which are ‘unable to make reliable reconversion employment estimates. They said if they knew how, when or where war contracts were to be cancelled and how soon materials would be made available for civilian production, they would be in a better position to forecast employment during reconversion,” the C. E. D. reported. , The report added that some of the larger war plants have been assured work past the end of the European phase of the war and'that others, which are subcontractors, are optimistic because the “post-war planning of many of these buyers

ther along in their reconversion than is generally assumed. This was demonstrated recently when a check was made of 120 small plants which had been engaged in war preduction. Forty, or one-third, stated they had completed their war contracts or would do so in a matter of a few weeks and that they were already engaged in other than war production.” i Women will take the brunt of the postawar™ decline in jobs, the re<|port showed. The 807 firms, which employed only 14,000 women in 1940, had 40,00C on their payrolls this summer but expect to cut that to 25,000 after the war. Employment of men, which rose from 53,000 in 1940 to 81,000 this summer, will fall to around 78,000. There are abou’ 24,000 In the armed services whose former industrial jobs ara covered under the selective service act.

Dozens of small-town papers this week carry warnings that civilians must accept the fact that not - everybody is able ‘to .find safety inside shelters and, therefore, must conduct themselves properly at entrances. y o " . FACTORY workers must return to their jobs immediately the all- , clear sounds “regardless of whether their own homes have been hit.” The frequency of alarms is helping the allies greatly in reducing manufacturing output. Now ‘that our armies drive against the Rhine, the Germans have less prewarning of air raids than ever before, The new Nazi warning system-—-the akute luftgeafhr—sounds more frequently than any other. The akute luftgefahr alarm means that all work must halt immediately and workers take shelter,
