M. Parley Detroit, June 28 (AP)-A demand for "a basic clearing of the postwar was future voiced for today free bent enterprise" Wilfred Sykes, president of the Inland Steel Coconterence Michigan-region posAssociation of Manufacturers. Mr. Sykes, in a address, called on industry to its initiative production now in that it planning may post so ready with the "practical answers" to economic readjustment problems after the war "lest free enterprise go. by need," Mr.

Sykes said, "a "We basic clearing of the post-war future for free enterprise- -perhaps by something like the Charter of the Atlantic. If official government assurance cannot be had for free enterprise, then both major political parties should be asked to proclaim for it in next year's election." Mr. Sykes said he had no fear but industry could do the job of planning for the post-war world and "executing the plans, if the government will permit." He said government top "recognized the value of using businessmen in getting the war effort rolling. Collectivism One Way "Of course," he said, "for those who don't mind collectivism, the whole post-war problem can solved simply by default. When some 15,000,000 come out of the army and the wartime industries looking for peacetime jobs, in default of such jobs they will all be put public works.

'And that brings us to what is wrong with the public works panacea. Government 'obs do not create goods. They just equip large number of people with ey which the government takes by taxation or borrowing from those do create the goods. wing you shift wartime manpower to public works, the economy would then be as short of the common civilian goods as it was in wartime. And rationing, price ceilings and other wartime controls would stay on--just as long as the 15,000,000 stayed on the public works payroll.

We would have a larger super-state than ever and coupon books in peacetime as we have them at Mr. Sykes asserted that after the emergency it was the "duty of government immediately to set enterprise dr said there was a "real danger" that "selfappointed reformers of enterprise" would be able to "turn free enterprise into something else." Market Research From Howard president of Norge Division, BorgWarner and chairman of the N. A. post-war distribution subcommittee, the conference heard the suggestion that "what manufacturing, an enterprise increasing needs appreciation of the value of market research." "By that I do not mean advertising or sales research in the narrow sense," Mr. Blood said.

"I mean tracing the movement of products and movement of money--which is the hire of capital of men, and of materials--to the point where thatds money catches up with the which are its equivalent and takes them out of circulation. "We need such market analysis to find out what the war has done to this country. That is its immediate value. The long-term value is that it may well be a practical regulator of business cycles. We can keep production balanced against consumption only by knowing what the consumer wants and is able and willing to pay for, at any moment, and what he is going to the period for which we must plan.

That is where market analysis comes in. With such a self-regulator, I think we can maintain a stabilized high-consumption economy in which the 15,000,000 men will return from the army and out of the war plants will not be a burden but an opportunity."

A bridge patrolman summoned an emergency squad when he spied Hayes snoozing peacefully on the precarious perch. Fearing he might awaken with a start and fall, the emergency crew elected not to disturb him.

They lassoed his feet, tied his arms, slipped a rope around 'his waist, and lowered him gently. Not until he reached the roadway did Mr. Hayes awake. He wasn't sure "how I got up there," he told his rescuers, but was "mighty refreshing." Police took him to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and th comparative safety of a hammock.

"The state should endeavor to ascertain the causes of this shrinkage," Mr. Moseley said.

(Persons now employed in defense work will not be considered.) SAVES POINTS Can't Start Again But in spite of all these activities each camp is gripped with a case of jitters. Minor differences, that normally would isat become major sues that keep blocks frothing with excitement for months. Despite the numbers that have left the camps on short-term leave, on group leave to engage in seasonal agricultural work, or who have been granted indefinite leave to accept full-time employment, many evacuees have become inflicted with a great fear of the outside world. This is especially true among the older generation, many of whom lost savings in the sudden evacuation move. Almost too old to work now, they dread the hostile world and can't see how they'll ever be able to start over again in towns far from home.

Fear also is present in the younger, generation, who read the violent blasts against their return to their West Coast homes in every newspaper that comes to hand. They're afraid the present active hostility against them on the part of their former American neighbors and schoolmates will carry over after the wars' end. They doubt that America ever will have a place for them, and they know they have no place in Japan. It's practical and patriotic to can at home--and easy, too. Attend a demonstration and see!
