THE LATEST prod from

But this is the slack season in job changing, the U. S. employment service observes. After the holidays, there will be a pick-up in war jobe seekers, if this year follows the usual pattem. Also, it will be early in January when the draft boards get around to asking many now deferred if they are still in the same jobs they were deferred for. Many aren't, of course;

and unless Washington changes

. directives in mid-stream, that letter

from the draft board should send many between 18 and 37 scurrying for war jobs again, This crackdown is intended not so much to expand the army as to keep the manpower in the war plants and to get more in. Some workers, with war savings stirring their ambitions, have gone into business for themselves, Others have quit to take safer peacetime jobs. But many left the war plants when contracts were cut back or canceled, either let go or leaving on their own accord; feeling that the end of the war was near. The very optimistic war talk from Washington (at that time) didn't help matters any, o . 8 = CHRISTMAS TREES could be planted in land not suitable for farming, pruned to the most popular shape, and make money for their owner, American Forests

but it has been put to best use, it

was said, when combined with wool for the manufacture of worsteds, woolens, tweeds, and knitted cloths. Wool traders, while interested, expressed skepticism as to whether the early accounts are merely initial propaganda and when large scale production can be expected. | “No vegetable fiber can‘ ever take the place of wool,” one trader asserted, as “it cannot withstand heat or dampness like wool, and it 1} doubtful if it could have durability.” Skeptics describe ardil as “complementary” to wool, cotton and rayon, but they do not regard it as “foundation fiber” because it is not strong enough to be used alone. Another question raised was

A few French plants which escaped damage are already turning out equipment for the allies but French officials are requesting new machinery to help turn out larger quantities of vitally-néeded munitions right behind the front lines. American officials were understood to be giving new consideration to these suggestions as the result of the current German counter-offen-sive which has caused an upward revision of U. 8. production schedules, Officials to Visit France

A group of American manpower and production officials will fly to France over the week-end to start a two-week survey of the French industrial situation and will probably report on the feasibility of immediate establishment of a fullscale armament program there, A spokesman for the French embassy here said that his cauntry had the raw materials, skilled and unskilled workmen necessary to create & huge armament program but lacked the machinery. He pointed out that vast quantities of shipping space could be saved as France's output of munitions got

‘You haven't Heard Anything’

Frank A. Livingston, president of the Ralston Steel Car Co., of Columbus, O., interrupted to say that

Livingston said he thought he'd better get back to building railroad cars as quickly as possible. He moved out all the completed bombs, bomb parts, and machinery, including numerous presses so big he had to tear down one wall of his place to get thenr out,

He had the whole business loaded up and ready to ship and his factory on the verge of turning out freight cars again when he got an-

other wire from Washington. You Suess it. “Resume bomb producon.” The senate war investigating committed began a preliminary inquiry and I must admit that when I heard of it, it sounded like bungling on the part of somebody in a brass-buttoned coat. I checked with the army and it said the facts as reported here are correct. It said the St. Louis freight car deal wasn’t much to worry about, because the army has half a dozen standard methods of getting rid of those cars with loss to nobody.
