This Week in Defense

SOUTH AMERICA-The White House announced a U. S. Army contigent has been sent to Dutch Guiana in South America to cooperate with Netherlands forces in protecting mines there which furnish more than 60 percent of the auxite supply to the U. S. aluminum industry. The move had the approval of Brazil, whose forces will patrol the Guiana-Brazilian border. The White House said the Army force would be withdrawn as soon as the present danger passes. FOREIGN RELATIONS - Following conferences with envoys of Britain, China, Australia and the Netherlands and then representatives of Japan, the State Department announced it had presented Japan with a plan dealing with the Far Eastern situation. The Department said the plan was based on U. S. policy previously announced. The President told his press conference that for the present U. S. merchants would not be armed. ARMY PROGRESS - War Secretary Stimson told his press conference the Army "has shown really wonderful progress" in the current maneuvers in the Carolinas. He said reports from the British in Egypt and Libya have testified to the excellent performance of American equipments being used there. Mr. Stimson said although the great bulk of tanks fighting in Europe are rivited, the Army is ordering cast steel and welded tanks which are stronger. Gen. Wesson, Chief of Ordnance, reported arrangements for $53,000,000 in facilities to make these new tanks. SELECTIVE SERVICE AND THE NAVY-Navy Secretary Knox told his press conference there has been a 15 percent drop in Navy enlistments since the torpedoings of Navy ships in the North Atlantic because parents are no longer willing to give their consent to sons under 21. The Navy needs 13,000 volunteers a month now and beginning next July will need 15,000 a month. If sufficient men do not volunteer, Mr. Knox said, the Navy may have to utilize selectees. PRICES-Labor Secretary Perkins reported the cost of goods purchased by wage earners and lower-salaried workers in large cities increased 1.2 percent from mid-September to mid-October. She said a survey of 18 staple foods in 19 cities showed food prices also rose moderately during the first half of November. Price Administrator Henderson announced prices of wooden household furniture were no longer going up. He asked manufacturers of mattresses, bed-springs, studio couches, metal beds and pillows to hold prices where they were on November 1, and announced the Government is planning to restrict further price increases in water heaters, radiators and air- conditioners. He also announced manufacturers of more than 50 percent of all writing paper, book and printing paper-except newsprint-have indicated they will not raise prices further. PRIORITIES-OPM ordered a 10 percent cut in production by large manufacturers of vacuum cleaners for household use; a two-thirds cut in production of lead and tin foil for decorative purposes and for tobacco, chewing gum, beverages, confections, films, and similar articles. OPM also announced it will shortly institute a new priority system under which manufacturers of essential items will be alloted materials to cut down the number of applications for priorities. PRIORITY UNEMPLOYMENT-Special Assistant Nehemkis of the OPM Contract Distribution Division, speaking in St. Louis, said Army and Navy contracts totaling $31,377,090, have been awarded in areas where OPM found unemployment caused by shortage of materials for non-defense work. He said ten areas, including 75 plants and one entire industry, have been certified as eligible for these special awards. LABOR SUPPLY-The Social Security Board reported 475,000 workers were scheduled to be hired and 100,000 scheduled to be laid off in 9,900 industrial establishments between now and February. Nearly 250,000 workers will be taken on in the aircraft and shipping industries, the report estimated. The Office of Agricultural Defense Relations announced that "if all possible means of conserving manpower and utilizing it efficiently are employed-farmers should not be handicapped seriously by labor shortages next year." Assistant OGD Director Eleanor Roosevelt told a press conference the OCD is planning a "women's land army" to help harvest next year's crops. PROPERTY REQUISITIONING -The President by Executive Order delegated to the OPM the power to requisition property under the conditions set forth by Congress in the Acts of October 16, 1940 and October 16, 1941. Whenever requested by OPM, any Federal agency is authorized to requisition property essential to national defense which cannot be obtained in any other way. OPM issued a comparison of present industrial defense efforts with those during 1917 and 1918. The comparison showed the productive capacity of each worker has greatly increased because of technical efficiency, and that because of lower prices, the U. S. is now getting more value for every dollar spent. LEND-LEASE-Lend-Lease Administrator Stettinius reported lendlease aid has steadily increased from $18,000,000 in March to a present total of more than one billion dollars; contracts have been let for more than 75 percent of the first $7,000,000,000; and the new $6,000 000,000 fund is being allocated rapidly The Agricultural Department reported U. S. production of dry skim milk must be increased 4 to 50 percent to meet the total of 200,000,000 pounds required for shipment to Britain. Secretary of State Hull announced a lend-lease agreement with Iceland. DEFENSE EXPENDITURES AND TAXES-Federal Reserve Board Chairman Eccles, speaking in New York, said "by the middle of next year defense expenditures will probably be running at an annual rate of somewhat more than 15 billion dollars above the middle of the current year-Additional taxation must be imposed and further restraints (to consumer spending) must be imposed." He said he hoped "futher taxation-will first tap the corporate excess profits and the middle and upper individual income brackets..." An OPA credit consultant, speaking in Chicago, said "consumer credit control is contributing as much as the new Federal tax law to the battle against inflation." LABOR DISPUTES-U MW President John L. Lewis agreed to submit the captive mine dispute to the arbitration of a board composed of himself, Benjamin Fairless, President of the U. S. Steel Corporation, and Dr. John R. Steelman, who resigned his pisition as Director of the U. S. Conciliatin Service to represent the public on the board. All the mines resumed operations and the board began meetings in New York. The President referred back to his special [fact-finding] board for futher examination, the dispute between railroad management and Labor. The U. S. Conciliation Service reported settlement of 68 other labor disputes.

"Congratulations, Mr. Boone"

"Congratulations, you've got a wonderful theatre and Coral Gables is proud of it," says Mayor Joe Whitley to Manager Leroy J. Boone, after inspecting the new Gables Theatre. His honor bought the first ticket.

Plan Florida Exhibits in North Soon

Florida National Exhibits, the organization which supervises the state's exhibits in international expositions and which has just completed a successful season at Atlantic City, N. J., is planning a series of exhibits in the north this winter designed to encourage people to come to Florida, according to Earl W. Brown, manager of the Exhibits. First of the northern exhibits will be at the Hobby Show in Doyer, Delaware, December 2-4, where a rotorama constructed in the Florida Exhibits studios in DeLand will be the principal attraction. Revolving scenes in the rotorama take the spectator on a vacation trip through Florida. Exhibit technicians believe this to be the most advanced form of diorainic art in this country. "Florida on Parade" will be shown at the national meeting of Agricultural Secretaries in Columbia, S. C., December 7, by Nathan Mayo, Florida's secretary. Among the Florida displays will be a diorama giving a glimpse of Florida's beef cattle, an industry in which Florida now ranks second among the states. The scene is a cattle market with herds of Herefords, Brahmans, Shorthorns and Polled Angus grazing in the distance. Another diorama shows a sporting scene in the yacht basin at West Palm Beach picturing Florida as a paradise for winter visitors. Displays of canned and fresh citrus fruit will show the nation's agricultural experts Florida's most important crop. At the Sportsmen's Show in Boston and the National Sportsmen's Show in New York in February there will be exhibits of fishing, hunting, golfing and other sports intended to bring sports enthusiasts south for the late winter and spring months. The Florida State Fair in Tampa, February 3-14, will have a building devoted to the Florida National Exhibits while other Florida fairs will show dioramas and displays so that those traveling in the state may see different phases of Florida life.
