Government Leaders Hail Kaisers Post-War Appeal WASHINGTON. Dec. 20 U.B Government leaders tonight hail ed as "constructive" Henry J. Kaiser's demand for cooperative planning now by labor, manage ment, agriculture and government for the gigantic task of shifting the nation's vast industrial plant back to -peacetime economy. There was considerable dis agreement, however, with other points In the plan presented by Kaiser, In an exclusive interview with the United Press today, for reconversion to a peacetime econ omy of efficiency in production. He urged that a start be made now on that task. Several senators disagreed par ticularly with Kaiser's proposal that questionnaires be sent to all men at the fighting fronts to as certain what they want to do when the war is over what they want to do and where they want to go. There also was some dis agreement with his assertion that the nation has reached its war production peak In almost every category. Sen. Edwin C. Johnson, D., Colo., a member of the senate mil itary affairs committee, said, "It seems to me we've got to win the war before we can begin to think about doing any reconverting." "We can't make too many def inite plans until victory," John ton said. "Furthermore, I think hit plan to communicate with the men in the service would be most demoralizing. They would feel the war was over, end their continued tervice would be even more of a bore. "I am In full accord, however, with hit proposal for extensive Joint planning by government, la bor and Industry." Sen. Scott W. Lucas, D 111., a member of the senate naval af fairs committee, declared "It will take more than a voluntary local committee to solve the problem of reabsorbing servicemen into our national economy." But Lucas added that industry will have to make blue prints of its post-war program now so that government can move out of its dominant field in Industry after the war. For that reason, he de clared, he welcomed any sugges tions from industrialists like Kaiser. Sen. Rufus C. Holman, R., Ore., also a member of the military af fairs committee, endorsed Kaiser1! ideas asj'very constructive." "I think the idea of lending questionnaires to servicemen to find out whether they want to work on farms or in machine shops and in setting up local com mittees to help carry out their wishes is a fine idea," he said. Sen. James E. Murray, D., Mont., chairman of a military af fairs sub-committee concerned with termination of war con tracts, said: "Conversion to peacetime In dustry is what is in the minds of everyone who is following the present trend of the war. It is time to begin thinking seriously about the question. "I believe special consideration in the conversion should be given to the place of small businesses that they should be given prefer ence. They were not given pref erence when we converted to war production, and consequently are in no position to survive if they cannot be given special help dur ing the reconversion. If they are not helped, and a wild scramble is permitted to develop, they will go under." New Liquor Cards On Sale January 3 PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 21.

Amer ican industry has passed the peak of war production and employ ment but the Pacific coast will continue to absorb manpower, even after industry begins to con vert to. peacetime work, it was predicted by Eric A. Johnston, president of the chamber of com merce of the United States. Speaking before the Portland chamber of commerce near the' end of a national tour, the Spo kane manufacturer said various war essentials now are being over-produced and "undoubtedly we will see more civilian produc tion beginning early next year." Johnston envisioned vast new postwar markets in Mexico, South America, China, Europe and other areas, as well as the United States, and said it will take several years to catch up with the accumulated shortages all over the world. The job of converting war plants to peacetime Industry is one for private interests, John ston emphasized. He warned busl ness that war dealings must be kept completely "open and above board to avoid getting in the dog house when the glue of emergen cy melts away and the inevitable investigations are ordered." "Our problem Is to control our selves, retain some wartime con trols when peace comes, and then taper oft gradually,"- Johnston said. Army War Dogs are trained as specialists for sentry duty, attack operations, messenger service, sil ent scouts, casualty relief, or as pack and sledge dogs. For the first .assault of the North African campaign 110 tons of maps were required, and 400 tons more were needed jn the later phases of the campaign. 7 s.

Yes, almost as easily as turning a valve, Standard of California, . at government request, converted its big new toluene plant to the all-out production of more aviation gasoline. Built in record time, this plant has produced record quantities of toluene, an essential ingredient of TNT. But Standard's engineers designed it with a thought to the swift changes of war. They prescribed new catalytic cracking methods so that with a few lightning changes it could be converted to other, war production. Now, thanks to their ingenuity, the equipment that put the "bite" in block busters is turning out liquid horsepower for fighting planes. t Already, Standard of California is brewing enough aviation fuel daily to send 900 Flying Fortresses from Port Moresby to Rabaul and back. Work is under way on another plant to make fuel for 300 more. Before long, Stand ard of California will be making enough high octane gasoline to put 1200 heavy weight bombers over Rabaul-f STANDARD OF CALIFORNIA i )
