Washington, April 3. ? Tho War
Production Drive in a movement by
tho War Production ltoard to attain
PrcHldcnt Roosevelt's goal of 45,000
tanks, 60,000 planes, 20,000 antlalr
craft guns, and 8,000,000 tons of hD11>l>i?K
during 15)42.
| A method of doing this Is the voluntary
establishment of joint labormanagement
plant committees in over
| 2,000 defense plants,, the sole purpose
of the committees being to carry on
I the production drive in the individual
plants. The drive is not confined to
workers in these 2.000 defonse plants
but is rapidly spreading among all
the wnr workers in America. Output
jwill be increased through this drive
j by the more efficient uso of machines,
by the finding of now uses for old
machines, and by bettering the morale
and effort through a pattern permitting
rocognation of individual and
plant attainments.
Tho Production Drive committee in
each plant will adapt a general plan,
which calls for a study of plant efficiency,
erection of a production scoreboard,
encouragement and study of
suggestions, setting up bulletin boards
and posters, conducting slogan contests,
and using other methods to
increase output, and recognizing
achievements.
Today, almost three months from
Pearl Harbor, we are beginning to
know something of the sacrifices and
deprivations we on the home front
will have to suffer as a contribution
to our strategy against the Axis. Today
we know what we shall have to
do to win this war because we have
already begun to do It.
The past week has produced changes
which are altering our whole
lives, altering our work, our dress
and our play; altering the way in
whloh we eat, travel, and build;
altering the equipment In our offices
and the furnishings In our homes.
The War Production board restricts
the amount of steel which may go into
beds and bedsprlngs and mattresses,
ends altogether the production of
metal household furniture, cut the
output of razors and razor blades.
Good! We know that steel In a tank
these days Is a better guarantee of
spund slumber on the home front
than In the colled metal of a bedspring.
We know the "why" of shortages,
but we hope these shortages will not
expose us to Inflated prices. It Is
for that reason that the Office of
Price Administrator last week fixed
maximum retail prices for seven
household appliances . . . refrigerators
vacuum cleanerB. radios, phonographs,;
washers, ironers, stoves. And price
control, as a result, becomes for -he
first time a matter of direct and personal
Interest to millions of us.
There will be less wool in wool
blankets so that there will be more
wool to keep our soldiers and sailors
warm. APA suggests that families
see what can bo done with needle and
thread before buying clothes. Produc-i
tion of portable lamps and shades
has been cut. Enamel and shellac are
needed for military purposes and their
use by civilians will be cut. Shoe
manufacturers have been ordered to
use less leather In making civilian
shoes, and farmers planning ? record
spring plantings are being protected
against excessive fertilizer costs. The,
WPB has suggested that the baking
Industry reduce operating costs In j
order to prevent a rise In price. Thd
amount of honey used in such manu- j
I factured products as ice cream, oandy.J
soft drinks, bakery goods and me-,
dicine3 has been limited. Retailer s
of men's and boy's clothing
have been urged to save wool clippings
from the ends of men's trousers
?where the cuff would be.
A thought for this week is War
Production Board chairman Donald
M. Nelson's statement; "We're all in
this war together and if any of us
lose our freedom, all of us lose it. ,
The number of men 45 to 64 years
old, who will haT L.to jreglster with
their local Selective Serroce board on
April 27, Is eetlmated at 18,589,800
for the United 8tates, Director J. C.
Capt of the Bureau of the Census,
Department of Commerce, has Just announced.
Of this number, 12.616.400
are white, and 1,073,400 are non-white.

All Star Foursomes
Will Battle Sunday
(Continued from first page)
The game is to be called at 3:30
o'clock and the ninth man in the
arena as referee will be none other
than Charles R. Little. And at the
mike to give the play by play account
of the game will be none other
than Ralph Waldo Emerson Chaso.
In as much as there is no ball game
this coming s Sunday, the fans will
turn oilt for the polo program in
great numbers. Beckham Russell, head
of the city traffic force, is anticipating
a big lnflue 'of traffic without
delay or inconvenience to the motorists.
The polo fans who witnessed the
game last Sunday are still talking
about the fine scoring record mads
by Harrison. Of the 12 points made
by the Ramblers in their 12 to 7 rout
of the 102nd Cavalry team, Harrison
scored six. In addition he scored a
point for the troopers when In attempting
to clear the willow from in
front of the Rambler goal, the ball
was deflected and went over for a
score for the opposition.
The Troopers actually made but
four points in that hectic game as
' they were given IwoT goals as a handicap
allowance and Harrison added
a third.
The game Sunday will start at the
usual hour of 3;SO and there will be
the usual repartee between Ancrum
Boykln, Sr., and announcer Ralph
Chase. The tans hare become accustomed

Jen. Holmes It. Springs, state Selecl\e
Service director, said today.
In addition, Genorul Springs said
hat a special clerk would he provld d
In each local hoartl for the express
imrpose of assisting those rog 1st rats
who are unable to secure aid from
iheir employers or in counties where
iio state employment off loom are located.
General Springs pointed out that
members of the advisory boards for
registrants would be busy assisting
those men who registered on February
16 in tilling out their classlllcatlon
questionnaires and to call on
members of those groups for assistanco
would work a hardship on the
personnel. Orders have been received
from Washington directing the local
hoards to proceed with the classification
of those registering on February
16 as rapidly as possible, the general
said.
Those* receiving the occupational
questionnaire, which will provide a
census of the nation's Industrial manpower,
are particularly requested not
to ask assistance of the local board
personnel In the state since, In addition
to the duties connected with the
classification questionnaire, all plans
must be completbd for the registration,
on April 27, of all men between
the ages of 44 and 66, in addition to
the routine work carried on dally.
"The members of the state's local
boards are doing an excellent job,"
General Springs said. "They are, in
many cases, giving more time to the
Selective Service system than they
are giving to their own Interests?
and without thought of salary or any
type of remuneration. To call on
them for additional sacrifices at this
time, despite their patriotic desire
to do as much as they can in our war
effort, would be an Imposition. The
advice of the employers of the men
or of officials of the state employment
service should be sought and, I am
sure, will be willingly given."

Written for The Chronlole by Qes
McQee, Copyrlflht, 1928.
IF IT TAKES ALL THIS TO WIN,
WE DON'T MIND v
? I nin not it pessimist, hut at llio
sumo time? I have never been pointed
out as a down-light optimist. Ah I
lutvo never been a bankrupt, It Is possible
that my pessimism saved UVO"
from going through this ordeal, I
have been on l he verge several times,
but my creditors were evidently patient
with me and they got theirs,
plus Interest.
Hut I started out to write
abput totfflfy is the faet that 1 said
yesterday, while talking to a bunch
of folks who didn't know any more
about the future than I did. wo are
on our way to living conditions sine
llur to those that obtained between
1890 and 1905, except we haven't got Q
any trains to>ride on now.
-r-Within the next few months ....
there will probably 1)0 more money
floating around than floated around
1890-1805, but like that period-there
won't be much to buy. Wo will have
plenty of tho same kind of food wo
enjoyed 1890-1905, uml we will have
clothes that will ''kivver" our nudonosB,
but some of the younger generation
will dnd out that tho flowery bod
of easo has turned out to be a rough _
rostlng place.
?Wo are going to learn how to walk.
Wo are going to think more of our
neighbors. We won't have to worry
about keeping up with the Joneses, as
we will be 2 by 4 Joneses ourselves.
We will make frequent contact with
cornbread, buttermilk (if possible)
and patched britches. We will relish
roasted potatoes and coarse foods will
become a delicacy. We will have more
time to think and more time to work.
We are going to win this war by toiling
and saving and scrimping, and?
If organised labor will do Its part,
there Is no question about victory for
the Allies. I am not worried about the
final result If we can keep selfishness
and greed and Quislings and traltorB
away from our war efforts.
m a
LET'S BE PAIR _
?Let's stop this growling and grumbling
and get down to business. Many
of us never offer any constructive
Ideas or co-operative criticism. We aro
satisfied to accuBo and abuse the men
in power. We can't tell them how
to do any better than they are doing,
but we at least can howl and growl.
?Hitler doesn't want anything better
than to have us rfifmke and disagree
with constituted authority. It
must tickle him a great deal to receive
dally information that we are
not satisfied with our president, that
we don't think labor Is -loyalr.and...we
: know our congressmen are at least
crooked or badly bent. (That helps
. him more than anything else).
?Folks, handling this war is the biggest
Job that ever confronted our na*
tlou. Do you and I think we are able
to tell anybody how to do a single,
solitary thing about what moves to
make, what strategy to formulate?
No, wedonTltnowlialT wTfSt we' are
talking about. We Just want to raise
the dickens because it looks "Iffio
we are getting the lard beat out of
us, and we are at the time this piece
is being written. In other words, we
can't take it. (Let's keep quiet for
12 months, and then if things are not
OK, we'll Join you).
?About 2 dozen men In congress and
the senate have apparently hindered
the U. 8. In its efforts to prepare for
war and defense. Most of these great
< f) men were not interested In helping
their country: they simply didn't
like* Pres. Roosevelt, or Mrs, Roosevelt,
or Mr. Stimson, or Mr. Some*
body Else, and they let-tiieir- narreet
ness and^ prejudiced minds run away .
with tfcfelr common sense. Let's forget
them now. (Loyalty that has to be
bought with money ain't mnch).
' ?Let's stop finding fault with labor:
we can't help much by telling congress
what to do ... If labor is not <
loyal, it won't be any more loyal when
| you get through cussing R. We have
agreements with labor: let'a.dM^.
| such agreements out. Only about B
per cent of labor is unfair:
. Of It Is OK, Unless you can tell o?r
^constituted authority how to do things s
more quickly, much better, and some
cheaper, Just keep your mouth shut
' and do your part. And, by the way, Mr.
Grnmbler, what have yon'done
to help save your country np to now?
