(U.F9 Administration leaders assured the nation today that there would be no economic collapse during the reconversion period but instead a swiftly expanding civilian economy in which small business would be given every possible encouragement. Throughout the period be tween wars, they stressed, the emphasis will be on easing up government production controls to let the forces of free enter prise and competition get back to work. A highly optimistic report on .the nation's immediate economic future was given by War Pro duction Chairman J. A. Krug, who said the country was much better prepared for reconversion now than it was in 1918. Krug predicted that one year from today United States factor ies will be turning out durable civilian goods at an annual rate of $16,700,000,00030 per cent higher than in 1939. Krug said many workers would not even have to shift Jobs. Of some 51,200,000 civilian workers now employed, he de clared, 46,000,000 are in Jobs that will continue regardless, of war production. Krug said the production pro gram had now reached maturity and that despite pressing needs of. the Japanese war the nation was ready to turn to the Jobs of preparing for a peacetime econ amy. 18 Jackson County Men In Army Tests Twelve Jackson county men qualified for general military service, four for military service and two for limited service, May 23 at Portland following pre induction physical examination, according to Jackson county draft board No. 1.

Army Hdq., Ger many, May 28 (U.R) Seven mil lion Germans in the Rhineland face food shortage bordering on starvation unless the crop situa tion gets very much better be fore July. Military agricultural experts said today that food supplies and stocks virtually have van ished because of the necessity of feeding thousands of liberated slave laborers and displaced per sons. They classed the collection. distribution and provision of the minimum food required for civi lians as the first critical problem in occupied Germany. Much 6f the Rhineland is be ing tilled right now, but the spring planting was late because of the war. There also is a short age of fertilizer, which probably will mean below-average production. To prevent mass starvation and possible food riots, the food office of the Rhine province military district has established food rationing. Starting today every German will be allowed a maximum of 1,150 calories daily about one-third the average diet of American soldiers, or one-1 fourth that of American clvl lians. Heavy laborers will get a maximum of 2,800 calories. It also was disclosed that 47, 000,000 pounds of seed potatoes have been distributed to all Rhine province areas in another move to head off the threatened famine. Washington, May 28. U.R) A message from the office of war information: The government needs and asks its citizens in this 181st week of the war against Japan to: . ' 1. Take a west coast job re pairing battle-damaged war ves sels if you are an electrician. boilermaker or skilled repair man. Apply to the nearest U. S. employment service office for details on these top priority jobs. 2. Plant late crop vegetables while there is still time in most states. Tomatoes, one of the most important of these, will be an essential source of vitamin C next winter. 3. Join the Waves for hospital corps work and general duty. In creased Pacific casualties make the need urgent for 2,000 re cruits per month. Write Waves, Washington, D .C, for Informa tion booklet. 4. Stick to the victory speed limit. Tire wear is heavier in hot weather and 50 per cent higher at 50 miles an hour than 35. Recent tire allocations can only partially relieve the short age. 5. Return to a ship and stay there if you are an experienced seaman. Four thousand ships now in operation and 12,000,000 tons to be built during 1945 must be manned. MAINLIKERS TO SAN FRAEICISCO 2 hrs.
