Industry to Re-equip Armies Now In Europe for Pacific Campaign

By ROGER BUDROW

the Pacific campaign

That is the latest Washington policy which is just the opposite of what was planned last fall, namely, a general)

reconversion after V-E day. \ ‘Jt means new weapons and

p! equipment for the men now

Tighting in Europe, additions to the huge Pacific fleet and more merchant ships. Why don't the men in Europe just take their equipment with them? Much of it is heavy, quite a burden on transports. Shipping directly from U. S. factories would save time, Moreover, some weap=-| ons fine for European might not be so good In the Asiatic war, The Pacific war has been chiefly & naval show so far but apparently land armies are to be used © on a big scale in China and Jap- | anese home islands. Under the old reconversion program planned when Donald Nelson headed WPB, it was expected that V-E day would bring a 40 per cent cutback in war orders. Thus industry was to be allowed to tool up for peacetime production before

V-E day to take up the slack when that 40 per cent cut came through. | Now it looks as if the whole picture has changed.

Kuhns, editor of Banking. n ” . THE CIGARET shortage is a money-maker for two Rochester, IN. Y., boys who work in a war plant. They buy tobacco at 75¢ a pound and with a roll-your-own machine, | [get 500 cigarets from it—at lc| apiece. | They make more money that way than they do from 4hdir jobs. # ” » ODDS AND ENDS: Plain kitchen | matches sell for 5c each in the China-Burma-India war vets say. . . .

Indianapolis department stores sales last week were 17 per cent | aver a year ago. . . industry now produces more synthetic organic chemicals than the chemical industry itself, notes Dr. { Robert E.

More than 100 men from “non- | essential” jobs were shifted to war | work in the "Allentown, Pa., experiment of WMC; but some weren't] too happy over reduced pay.
