jj, S. Industry Swings Into Victory Stride -- * CHICAGO, May 28.—tff)—Ameri jnill and factory executives '•ere told tonight that industry has 'wung int0 the Stride °f victory J"d that they may enjoy a great &rosperiy in the wake of the war. pr°Vllliam P. Witherow, president the National association of Man °facturers. asserted that “in five Uhori months, under the capable ^adet&iP of Donald M. Nelson, his country has hit the victory 1 f and is putting the tools of P-arfare int0 the hands of our fight I jg men on a scale which makes victory cei io**' Murray Shields, economist of the Irving Trust company, New York, .oted that “there is much to sup ‘ ,rt the optimistic view that after L post-war readjustment slump j5 0ut of the way, we probably will enter a period marked by an increasing standard of living, ac tive and expanding industries and perhaps a really great prosperity” Both outlined their views in ad dresses prepared for a meeting sponsored by the National and IUi nois Manufacturers associations. Witherow reported that an Ore gon ship yard completed a ship from "keel to captain” in 60 days, that a new process now being de veloped would facilitate construc tion of a cargo ship in 45 days, and that he left the West Coast ■mumbling superlatives.” He related that newsmen touring war plants under the auspices of the association were describing the •■miracle of the factory front.” “These correspondents have seen battleships being produced a year ahead of schedule, great oil tank ers being built in one week, the great automobile industry convert ed to full war production in three months,” he added. Witherow said 60,000 airplanes by January, 1943, “is no longer talk." that we already are exceed ing the Axis in tank output, that steel mills are making new records daily and that the machine tool industry’s production is 7 1-2 times its normal volume. He promised that industry would turn out “more and more for the crisis ahead” but urged that the closed ship and its various modifi cations be frozen in status quo for the duration, opposed “revolution ary experiments in putting labor into management.” and questioned the wisdom of the 40-hour week. Shields, looking ahead to the post-war period, said costly eco nomic errors' of the past probably would not be repeated, that the government likely would “free the enterprise system from the ob siruc’ions which have held it down for the past decade,” that there would be a backed-up demand for goods and a flood of new products. He figured that the post-war de cade would see development of freight transportation by air, "practical” television, reequipment of railroads, an unprecedented housing boom, a wealth of new synthetics, new types of metallic alloys, expansion in the plastics fields and new farm products for industrial use. 3 -V METAL HAS MANY'USES Four years ago zirconium was a metal that sold for $25 a pound; since then it has joined the com mercial metals, now selling at about one-fourth of its former fig ure and finding many uses be cause it ignites at relatively low temperature and burns rapidly with a high heat of combustion. 4 CALLOUSES To relieve painful callouses, burn ing or tenderness on bottom of feet ud remove callouses—get these thin, soothing, cushioning pads.

CAUSEY’S Corner Markel and 12th *Fuels Of The Future* Discussed By Speaker The Wilmington Rotary club was host yesterday to Lieut .Col. John R. Sampey, Camp Davis, who spoke on “Fuels of the Future” Col. Sampey told the club that the future fuels of the world would result from scientific research and that the harnessing of the atom would not be impossible. Pointing out that the sun itself could contribute more energy to the world than any other known scource, he revealed that if the sun’s power were concentrated at a spot in the United States with an area of 200 square miles, using the rays to a 100 percent efficiency, the power derived would equal all existing power in the nation. The coal and oil production was also discussed, but the general out line of Col. Sampey’s talk followed along the idea of new fuels from research. 3 _\r_ City Briefs FISH SUPPER There will be a fish and steak sapper given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Blake on Middle Sound Thursday night at 8:30 o’clock for the benefit of the Middle Sound church.

HIKE IN DEPENDENCY ALLOWANCE OKEHED (Continued from Pate One) expressed no opinion, however, as to the advisability of such a step, which would require legislation. The bill approved by the Senate committee would require men in the service to allot $22 a month from their pay for dependent wives and children to take advantage of its provisions, instead of $20 re quired by the House commitee’s bill. The Senate committee also in creased the rates for the" govern ment’s contributions beyond those approved by the House group. The Senate bill would have the gov ernment pay $28 a month instead of the House $20 to a dependent wife, and $40 instead of $30 to a wife and child. The $10 allowance for each additional child was the same in both bills. The House bill would authorize the Federal Security Administra tion to augment these allowances in “hardship cases.” The Senate committee struck out this provision and adopted the higher allowances instead. v Floor ’consideration of the leg islation in both houses will await final disposition of the military pay increase bill.
