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."

Production Peak
Declared Passed
PORTLAND,' Ore. U. 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.

It's done with a twist of the wrist!
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
