RAILROAD TEST
For National Defense chiefs. June
holds a special significance. It will
indicate whether government opera
tion of railroads may be necessary.
In June the nation's railroads will
meet their first crucial test of
whether
they
are
adequately
equipped to handle the enormous
increase in freight resulting from
the defense program.
When the wheat harvest starts in
the Texas Panhandle and continues
north, the carriers will be on the
spot to prove their determined con
tention that there is no shortage of
freight cars, and that they can cope
with the great demands of the de
fense program without the govern
ment taking them over as in the
World war.
Railroad moguls are fully aware
that they face a decisive showdown,
and they are making tremendous
efforts to meet it
Twenty-five thousand cars have
been mobilized to handle the Texas
crop and a strict rule has been laid
down that they must be kept rolling.
Cars will not be allowed to be used
for storage purposes.
If a ship
ment can't be unloaded without de
lay, cars will not be released.
Cars will be peremptorally re
called if shippers don't load. Cir
cuitous routing is being eliminated.
And the railroads themselves are
now distributing the materials and
equipment they will need months
hence, so that the maximum num
ber of cars will be available in the
peak season next autumn,
This
alone is expected to release 20,000
freight cars.

It took a war in Europe to do it.
but the U. S. army is now doing a
whirlwind job of replacing cavalry
with tanks and armored cars. Even
Secretary of War Stimson’s aide,
CoL Eugene Regnier, has gone in
for mechanization.
Commenting whimsically on this
the other day. Secretary Stimson
said: “After riding horses all his
life. Gene is now commanding the
first reconnaissance battalion of the
First Cavalry division. He rides in
a bantam scout car and has ar
mored cars and tanks under his
command. I tell him this is strange
for a man who has I sworn that
horses are the only thing
1
in life,
But he says it takes the
I
brains of
a good cavalryman to handle a
mechanized unit.”
Note—Colonel Regnier deserted
his swivel-chair job in Washington
for El Paso, Texas, where Gen.
Innes P. Swift commands one of the
most active army posts in the
country.
MEN'S STYLES
While there will be no change of
basic patents involved in men's
clothing styles for 1941, and tt will
still be impossible to get in and out
of this year's clothes the same as
in 1M0. this department's look-see
into the situation has convinced it
that there will be new touches to
pants, coats and vests

Colors will switch sharply from

fact that, with the draft on. no male

Pockets will be inadequate as usual,
but they will be cut much larger,

combine some features of a satchel,

Australian Opinion on War
Prime Minister Menzies of Aus
tralia held some very important
conversations with high Washington
officials during his recent visit. In
these talks he expressed every con
fidence that Britain would win the
war, but he was hard-boiled and
realistic regarding the time neces
sary for a victory.
Coming from Australia, which has
a detached and unbiased view of
the situation, his opinion is impor-
tant.
“During 1941,” he said, “all of
Britain’s effort must be concentrat
ed on defense.
“During 1942 we can really begin
to concentrate our efforts on build
;
ing up a real war machine.
“And in 1943—with America’s help
—we can take the offensive, and we
will win the war.”
