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.

TO
IN IDAHO HILLS
Coeur D'Alcne, Ida. (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.
The girls spend their spare
time doing their own cooking,
cutting wood and carrying water,
which is sometimes two miles
from the look-out station down
the' treacherous mountain trails
traveled frequently by bear,
deer and elk.

The Modern Oil
for Old or New Cars
Not so long ago, It was enough to say that a motor oil
came from a certain area and drivers knew they could
depend on it.
But, times have changed. Closer fitting parts and
higher engine speeds have created infernos of heat that
would have warped and twisted older alloys beyond re
pair. With these new, extreme operating temperatures
comes the need for a modern oil with qualities beyond
those that nature alone can give.
"SUPREME Compounded Oil" takes the best in crudes
and adds to them certain ingredients that not only dis
solve gum, sludge, and varnish but actually "Run to the
hot spots."

"SUPREME Compounded" is the only type of oil that
can assure safety and long life to the new motors. And,
because of its superior qualities, it gives far better ser
vice, also, in older cars.
If your car Is old, you'll want this modern oil for greater
economy. If it is new, you'll need "SUPREME Compounded
Oil" to keep it in good condition.
