E. Clyburn, Knott, can' give the answer to questions about how it feels to land on an airplane carrier deck for the first time. He has recently completed his training as a U. S. Navy carrier base fighter pilot, and this training included a liberal dose of landing on and taking off from a carrier deck.

From this, he learned to hit a "deck" marked on a landing field, and finally -when he was good enough at that, the big day came to fly out to the carrier. He came in as per all his instructions but admits "that I was scared silly." His plane touched the carrier deck, but under the strain, he forgot to take his hands off the controls and brace. As a result, when the cable caught, he pitched forward in th' cockpit and his hand jammed the throttle forward. "I know that once you get on a carrier deck you can't get off, for if it were possible, I would have done it then," he laughed.

Now, when he comes in, the instant his plane lands on the carrier, Ensign Clyburn takes his hands on the controls and braces himself. It's mere routine. Now on furlough from Norfolk, I Ensign Clyburn has been visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.

Leaner Days Are In Store For Civilians WASHINGTON, June 12 UP) The United States will spend $106,000,000,000 th'is year for war. The vast scope of the American war effort was disclosed in a report on production progress in 1942 and prospects for 1943, made by the War Production Board (WPB) Chairman Donald M. Nelson, to President Roosevelt this spring and summarized tonight by the Office of War Information (OWI). The 1943 program, Nelson reported, is 80 per cent greater than 1942's $59,000,000,000 total. It Includes arms output, war construction and the paying, feeding and equipping of the armed forces.

In his letter of transmittal Nelson told the commander-in-chief: "The record 'certainly makes it clear that the American industrial system can he justifiably proud of an astonishing display of economic muscle." OWI's condensation of the secret document omitted, for reasons of military security, detailed new figures on production of weapons. Highlighted in the report were: Recommendations that civilian manufacturing and much wholesaling be eliminated from critical labor shortage areas, to free workers for war plants. An urgent plea for planning the transition back to a peacetime economy after the war, lest the war effort be held back by widespread concern over postwar economy. A warning that leaner days for civilians are just ahead. Civilian goods and services in the last three months of this year will be 20 per cent under the end of 1942, and inequalities of distribution will "aggravate the burden on consumers." Actual war production "In most categories fell short of scheduled production throughout most of 1942," Nelson said, because the goals were unrealistically high and for other reasons, but in the main production "met the requirements of our war strategy; and the prospects for 1943 are for a quantity and a quality of production that will realize to the full the tremendous potential of American Industry." The 1943 arms program Is a "most formidable" task for industry, it was conceded.

The building 'and -equipping of industrial plants and cantonments, a relatively easy job, is only 13 per-cent of the total instead of 30 per cent as in 1942. But munitions production must jump 125 per cent and in some specific weapons vastly more. Warplanes, for instance, are to rise 3 1-2 times the output of last year, when 47,694 planes were produced. (This does npt mean that nearly 167,000 planes will be turned out because production is rated on total weight and value. With the present emphasis on heavy bombers and heavy plane's of all types, probably between 90,000 and 100,000 will be built.) Laying down a five-point policy for the civilian summary omitted reference to a sixth point known to have been originally Included in the full report to Mr.

Roosevelt It called for a much -wider extension of rationing. It was known, however, that WPB's views on rationing consumer goods have undergone a sharp change since Arthur D. Whiteside was brought In by Nelson as chief of the Office of Civilian Requirements. Whiteside is, for instance, firm in his opposition to clothing rationing. The five points listed were: 1.

Eliminate civilian manufacturing and as much wholesaling as possible from critical labor shortage 2. Increase productivity of retail trades and service industries, especially in localities where labor is short 3. Curtail less essential goods and services and simplify and standardize the more essential. 4. Protect the consumers' minimum requirements in every im- porti.nt field.

5. Give the public a better understanding of the war production program.
