That'll the only conclusion you can draw from a lour of the industry built specially for the war implement task and those being transformed from passenger car assembly units to factories for the manufacture of tanks, aviation engines, aircraft sub-assemblies and light, medium and heavyweight nnti-arlcraft cannon. The job ahead is one thai is going to make the huge car production program of the industry look puny In comparison. Nine Millions In Orders Currently there arc on the In-! duslry's order books contract commitments for more than 0,000,000,000 worth of war wen-! pons. Roughly that's the cquiva-j lenl of three years of normal! automobile and truclt manufacture and It's only beginning, the experts say.

Into the hands of Hie former automobilo manufacturers has been placed the task of producing 54 per cent of Hie total output of machine guns; 50 per cent of the aircraft engine production and 91 per cent of the army tanks and parts assembly. The original plan for a $2,500,000,000 arms production wilhin the industry this year already has been doubled. Swinging from the making of automobiles for peace-time uses to all-out war production is no small job for the car Industry; doing it in something like the time normally required to design and bring out a new model automobile makes it seem like accomplishing the impossible. Yet that is what currently is being done in the industry factories. Many millions of dollars worth of machine tool equipment is being uprooted from one-time car producing jobs In make room for the production of war weapons.

UP) There is, Tom Loftin Johnson thinks, too much hit and miss in the world, of the artist. It was Johnson who got the big break last year at Carnegie In stitute's "Directions In American Painting" show at Pittsburgh. It was a good break, for it climaxed his effort to switch over to easel painting from a very difficult time for any artist to do anything but design defense posters. It Was 'Welcome Anyway, when "American Picta," which Is Johnson's winning painting, came in first among 302 canvases in Carnegie's enormous show its creator was glad to have the $1000 prize, He was even more glad to have the national "break," for he needed it. And in addition, he was happier yet to win because that was what he deliberately set out to do.

It's a different sort of success story. Johnson is a round-faced, quiet, slow-spoken man, and he lives in Bedford Village in a yellow house with white shutters which he Laugh At the War and Like It By Eddie Cantor Wide World Features I understand that the government is worried about a rubber shortage in the national defense program. If Sophie Tucker will give her girdle to Donald Nelson, his troubles will be over. Even if all our women have to give up their girdles, don't worry, they'll come through. Even the school kids will do their part.

They're willing to give the government the rubber erasers off their pencils as long as they- help to rub out the Japs! A lot of people are asking how come we're not hearing of any shortage of rubber in Japan. Practically every person in Japan wears rubber heels, and they had a lot of heels to start with.

Certainly they never had even thought about making guns. Yet, with the con version job scarcely under way thev already arc producing all these implements on a mass production basis. All the engineering skill that produced passenger automobiles on a one-a-min- utc schedule in a single plant is being made available in the job of rolling out light, medium and heavyweight nnti-aircraft cannon. Management and labor also appear agreed that past differences will be subordinated to the job in hand, "We have more In common than we have in conflict in 'his task." asserts C. E.

Some have faces resembling those of foxes, others appear like small bulldogs. "A bunch of people came out here end said the center of population was on this farm," Bennett explains, "and I spent half a day helping photographers and what not. "Ended up, I had to do my chores by lantern light, aiid none of them fellows so much as sent me a picture." The Bennets came to the farm six months ago. Bennett, 47, medium-sized and with a shock of greying hair, says he's had his share of'tough luck. The population center, near a walnut tree, isn't easily reached.

Three or four gates have to be opened and closed to keep live stock from straying and the approach never was meant for automobiles. Rule-of-thumb mapwork first put the center on the Owen Collins farm across the road after the Census Bureau announced the point was two miles southeast of Carlisle. Then County Surveyor Chloral Smith made a survey and shifted it to Mrs. Erma Garrison's farm near by. Prof.

W. A. Cogshall, Indiana university astronomer, had the last say in the matter. Using nav igation instruments, he pointed to the spot on the Corbin farm. There, said Prof.

Cogshall, was latitude 38 degrees, 58 minutes and 57 seconds north, longitude 87 degrees, 22 minutes, 35 seconds position given for the center by the Census Bureau after a year and a half of figuring.

Nowadays, a girl walks in with a brand new rubber tire as a lavaliere and she makes the girls with the bracelets and fur coats green with envy. The lack of rubber should save the lives of millions of pedestrians. For years the automobile manufacturers in Detroit gave us good brakes, a good clutch and beautiful bodies but they couldn't do a thing about a nut at the wheel. Now the reckless drivers will have lo stay off the streets. Even though the government takes automobiles away from the people, do you know a better way to get the American people back on their feet?
