March in this industrial city beside the Delaware river often stop to stare at a huge poster atop a public library building. The poster pictures two sturdy American and turning the wheel of a vise which is flattening a buck-toothed son of Nippon. And that's just what an army of 22,000 employes of the RCA Manufacturing company is doing in one of the nation's best examples of lixbor-management cooperative effort to stimulate war production. CRITICAL TIMES AHEAD.

President Roosuvelt has warned that the months just will be the "critical months of the that "the urgency of today must be felt in every shop and factory producing war goods, in every home and on every farm." With these words as the go-ahead signal, War Production Chief Donald M. Nelson is organizing a campaign to step up the output of war materials largely by makine workers realize their importance and responsibility through special recognition to individuals and awards to plants doing jobs.

Perhaps no workers in the country are more aware of their importance in the United Nations' struggle for arms superiority than those RCA employes engaged in making radio transmitters and receivers, sound apparatus and other vital to America's fighting forces. Every man and woman has given a solemn pledge to "put forth my best efforts not only to fulliill the obligations which we have undertaken to meet the requirements of our national preparedness program, but to beat that promise!" Since Pearl Harbor the campaign has become even more intense in Its second phase. TYPICAL RESULTS.

UlEuC £0i AFTER NINE TEARS IN WHITE nine years in the White of the most trouble-fraught years in the nation's burden of his office showed light in the face of President Roow- velt.

This picture made on the of St. John's Ep'scopal church in Washington, after the President had attended prayer services marking the ninth anniversary of his first inauguration. months, September through November, with these typical results: 1. An army signal corps order for thousands of radio and sound units was delivered schedule. one year ahead of 2.

Another signal corps order for 43,000 units was delivered-16 months ahead schedule. 3. Workers made more than 36,000 suggestions to increase output, lower costs, save time and conserve materials. More than 14 per cent of the suggestions were adopted, and placed in operation. 4.

Delivery time on repairs was reduced by more than 80 per cent. 5. On some military orders, delivery promises were beaten for 13 consecutive weeks. 6. Typical factory departments were able to beat their own promises by: Shipping 120 per cent; repairs 163 per cent; amplifiers 130 i per cent; transmitters 120 per cent.

7. Workers' morale imroved and i the management found itself closer to the workers, "We were amazed.by the results," one official says. "We had.no idea there would be such a tremendous response." LACKED INCENTIVE. No one ever questioned the workers' often it -is difficult for a man or woman engaged in a monotonous, seemingly unimportant task to visualize his operation as a vital part of the whole which may mean. Me or death lor men in battle.

The RCA campaign drives this point home by dramatizing the use of the workers' in actual demonstration, talks by military leaders, and reports from former RCA employes now with the armed forces using communications equip- ment. One night after a young army officer talked to workers in the Harrison, N. RCA manufacturing plant about the dependence of armies, navies and air forces on communications, a company executive saw a young woman working at her bench, long after others had left. "What are you doing here?" he asked. "Don't worry," she said.

"I've already checked out." "You can't do that," he protested. "But I want to," she retorted. "I' just couldn't sleep easy tonight without making my quota." Not everyone can be spurred to such a spirit of urgency, of course, but wherever a worker turns there Is a reminder that he pledged to "put the squeeze on the Japanese" by beating production promises. Posters, stickers, and cut-out figures in every plant department show the squeeze play on the Japs or else the leering figure of a Japanese with a bloody dagger In one hand saying "I will write the peace in Washington."
