levied.
The bills also will provide for

When the bills are ready, they
will be submitted to Secretary of

'Potbellies' Told '
To Shun Eating
TOKYO (JP) The catchword
in Brig. Gen. Bryan L. Milburn's
service command here is "Pot
bellies stay away from the pot."
. It caught on after the general
ordered all fat men in his com
mand to reduce. Particular atten
tion was directed to army person
nel holding desk jobs and those
with considerable time on their
hands.
Special instructions and physical
exercise were ordered for those
with bulging waistlines. They were
told to diet and ease up on their
drinking if they want to get along
with the general.
Milburn said he was not running
"a haven for gluttons and lounge
addicts."
He called the overweight men
"flabby, soft, scam-bursting and
bulging at the middle."
Purpose of the order was to
qualify all members of the com
mand for combat or emergency
duty.
And just to make sure the heftier
ones stick with it, Milburn said
he would expect his commanders
to report from time to time on the
progress of the weight reducing
program.

Sacrifices Seen For Business, Industry
In Blueprint Of Nation's Defense Needs
By RICHARD FISKB
NEW YORK (JP) The de
fense needs of the nation final.
were blueprinted for business and
industry this week and the task
ahead looked a lot more rugged
than economists had anticipated.
The cards were dropped on tha
table by President Truman in his
economic report. They painted a
picture of sacrifices such as Amer
icans seldom have been called upon
to make.
Slimmer profits and wage re
straints, more production and
greater productivity, price controls
and taxes-taxes-taxes were in the
cards.
M.ani Austerity
These things spelled out auster
ity for everyone from the smallrst
of the little fellows to the largest
of the big.
The men in the front office were
astonished but they weren't wnolly
dismayed.
They were proud of the record
business and industry have ojen
hanging up. They were encou-aged
by the ability of American "know
how" to do the job no matter how
great.
They pointed to the increasing
rate of American production and
that industry after industry al
ready has in the works.
For instance, the President said
the country's electric gdnerating
capacity must be increased by well
over 20,000,000 kilowatts during the
next three years.
Industry Up t. Task
And the Edison Electric institute,
trade organization of the nation's
power companies, came right br.ck
with a statement that schedule din
stallations for that period alrendy
amount to 24,000,000 kilowatts.
As the President gave his eco
nomic report, everything from
prices to production was swirling
upward in a spiral that flashed
"inflation" as clearly as a huge
neon sign.
The nation's steel mills were pro
ducing at 102.7 percent of capacity
and were going ahead with expan
sion plans without drgpping an in
got. Engineering awards hit $415,81i,
000, the fourth highest figure in
history, after a holiday season
slump.
More people were being em
ployed all the time. There was
more money in the pay envelope.
The workers were spending too.
Department store sales, according
to the federal reserve Hoard's
weekly report were 39 percent
above a year ago for the country
as a whole.
In some sections percentagei
were even higher. Boston, for in
stance, reported 61.7 percent over
a year ago.
Manpower Supply Questioned
Storekeepers at the National Re
tail Dry Good Association's con
vention in New York this week be
lieved business would remain good
for the next six months.
They figured they'd have sup
plies enough on shelves to meet
the demand during that time, oo,
although they weren't too sure
about such things as appluwes
after the first quarter of the year.
They were worried about man
power though. They weren't alone
on that score. .
With the rapid expansion that
o
(Contractor
goes hand In hand with the swing
from civilian to military produc
tion many a businessman and in
dustrialist thought of the future in
terms of manpower.
Prices Cause Concern
The unemployment pool is
shrinking almost daily and some
places 'are already ,feeling the
pinch.
Retail storekeepers are talking
about the possibility of housewives
for part time work and a return
of retired employes. Industry is
talking about women in the place
of men as in the war years.
Everyone was being badgered by
prices. The manufacturer, tl.e
wholesaler, the retailer all were
saying raw materials are costing
more, although they added they'd
try to hold the price line.
The housewife's food money
wasn't stretching as far as it had.
The Associated Press wholesale
commodity price index was becom
ing almost habitual in breaking
into new highs.
In far off Australia, where most
of the wool for clothing is grown,
prices reached new highs five
times in one day of bidding.
Inflation Threat Grows
Controls all along the line from
the raw material to the finished
products won't cure the price the
American fabric maker pays to
the Australian grower, however.
And the end isn't yet in sight.
Carpet manufacturers said floor
covering prices are headed for an
other rise. Every time crapet wool
prices go up a cent a pound the
cost of making a square yard of
carpet rises aboul three cents, one
manufacturer explained.

prices were a likelihood.

Washington said it expected meat

Price talk is right down the con

so directly. But tax talk docs too
and new levies may hit the con
sumer even harder than the Presi
dent's report intimated. '
