rOim MIDFORD MAIL-TBIBUNE .fadnndaT. Oct. 10, 194S TO BE COMPLETED IN 1946, KRUG SAYS Strikes, Other Factors Seen As Possible Delay To Peacetime Return Washington, Oct. 10 U.R) War Production Chairman J. A. Krug predicted today that unem ployment will decline by spring and that reconversion will be completed by the end of 194b unless strikes or other disturb ing factors interfere. Krug's final report also fore cast that the decline in indus trial production and national In come will be halted early in 1946 with the gross national out put levelling off at a rate of around $155,000,000,000 a year. WPB said the war peak was $207,000,000,000 a year and the 1939 rate was $88,500,000,000 a year. Orderly Reconversion "It should be emphasized," Krug warned, "that whatever forecasts are made in this re port are based on the assump tion of an orderly reconversion and would have to be modified in the event of prolonged und widespread labor disputes, ex tensive inventory hoarding, ser ious disruption of the price struc ture, and other unforeseen cir cumstances." The reconversion release of some 17,000,000 workers and po tential workers from the armed services and munitions plants, he added, will Involve "far reaching adjustments" that "will inevitably hurt." Factors Favorable "We must, therefore, expect period of hesitation, confusion, and uncertainty," Krug said. "But the basic economic factors are favorable, if not to an imme diate full recovery, at least to establishing early in 194B a floor on production and employment through the remainder of the reconversion period," Krug's forecasts were made In his final report in which he reviewed America's industrial contribution to its World War II victory and pninted an opti mistic pictura of reconversion and the future generally. The WPB will be ended Nov. S and Kruf will leave the government. A civilian production agency will succeed WPB. GEISHA HOUSES CLOSED San Francisco, Oct. 10 (U.R) Gen.

(U.R) A job which until a few years ago was labeled "Men Only" is be ing expertly handled by 'teen age girls this year manning lookout posts in the Coeur d' Alene National Forest. Forest supervisor C. C. Strong said that the five lonely lookouts are staffed with seven women, six of whom are still in their 'teens. This is the greatest number of lookouts in the Coeur d'Alcne forest ever, manned by the fairer sex during a single season, he said. Girls Veterans Veterans of them all are the Jardine sisters of Coeur d'Alcne, Mamie and Thclma, who for the second year are spending the sea son atop 4,400-foot Coeur d'Alene mountain. The peak is about 22 miles from Coeur d'Alcne and in addition to their duties as lookouts, the sisters keep all records of the weather station, Mabel Rose and Marjorle Ol son, both 19-year-old Idaho girls, comprise the staff of the lookout on 5,028-foot Spades mountain, about 15 miles northeast of Coeur d'Alcne. Highest peak in the forest is Sunset Peak, about 12 miles north of Wallace. Described by forest officials as the most im portant lookout In the district, the 6,424-foot peak is being watched for forest fires by 17-year-old Jane Butler of Wallace. Fires Left To Men Another 'teen-ager on the job is Leonine Garnett, 18, who is up on Griffith Peak, 5,800 feet, and 60 miles from Coer d'Alene. The "old lady" of the crew is 22-year-old Mrs. Chester Boyer, who Is sharing the solitude of Spy Glass peak, 6,000 feet high, with her husband. Fire detection is the principle task of the girl lookouts, while "smoke chasing" and actual fighting of fires is assigned to the men at. the nearest ranger stations.
