It isn't the reconversion of industry from the production of war materials to production of civilian consumer goods which some dealers 'and manufacturers have been agitating. That's still not in the cards for a while.

This other reconversion involves the shifting of contracts from one plant to another to increase production, the stepping up of sub-contracting, the utilization of every idle tool and every idle plant and along with it, a definite halt in the construction of new factories and manufacturing facilities unless it can be proved that such new manufacturing is absolutely necessary. All these moves emphasize the fact that war production is now limited to supplying the most critical war materials, but they do not indicate that any let-down in war production is impending. Spark plug for this shifting about of war production has been a stall of 25 engineers in the Memory's Lane News of 38, 20, 10 and 8 Yrs. Ago From Files of The Morning Newi 38 Years Ago Miss Clara M.

EDITORIAL BY-PASSING CONGRESS AGAIN Former Senator Prentiss Brown says that OPA Administrator Prentiss Brown achieved a masterpiece when he provided for food subsidies' to the processors to help lower price ceilings without decreasing the return to anybody. War Information Director Elmer Davis on the radio tried hard to explain why it is better for the consuming public to pay for part of its food through taxes rather than in store prices. But members of Congress, including many Democrats, got up on their hind legs and protested bitterly about the new attempt to buttress an anti-inflation program that, by concession of high officialdom, had broken down so far as food prices were concerned. The congressmen, in many instances, are dubious of the value of the subsidy system or go so far as to considr it specifically vicious. But their bitterness does not spring from that difference of opinion.

It arises from the fact that once more the executive branch has "legislated" a "reform" which Congress, after careful deliberation, refused to enact. There is a big question whether such subsidies have any practical value. If they do, it is as another indirect method of sharing the wealth in this instance, of making John Smith pay for part of the Brown family's food. In any event, Congress had been asked to provide funds to finance subsidies, and had refused. Whereupon, on the plea of emergency, using funds appropriated for other purposes, the administration began doing what Congress had refused permission for it to Once more this raises the question whether it is possible for the republican mechanism of democratic government to function in time of emergency, or whether it is necessary for us to eliminate the law-making branch, sidetrack the indicia rv by working so fast that it can-! not intervene effcctivelv.

SAN DIEGO, CALIF.

The story of a struggle in the dark between an American sailor with a mangled arm and a Jap for possession of a small raft in the South Pacific was related by the winner Edward Fry, 20, of St. Louis. Fry, a seaman second class, is recovering in the Naval hospital from effects of the fight and the loss of an arm. Fry was aboard the cruiser Astoria when the ship was sunk near Savo island. "A salvo hit the superstructure and sheered off our guns.

I found myself sailing through the air like a flying torpedo," explained Fry, a gun pointer. Falling into the water some distance from the Astoria, Fry started swimming and realized part of his arm was gone. "In the darkness I found a but as I attempted to climb on a man kicked me. I said: 'Hey, buddy, I want to climb and got my answer in Japanese. It sounded like he was swearing at me.

"I found my knife strapped to my hip and drew it as I made a lunge which threw me on the raft. With shells whistling overhead we struggled in the dark for possession of it until I finally managed to stab him. "Even as the Jap fell he tried to pull me into the water with him, but he was covered with oil and I slipped from his grasp." After the encounter Fry lost consciousness. Seven days later he awoke in a hospital in the South Pacific. Blind Lawyer Leads All In Spotting Airplanes BOSTON.

The blind could be of great use to the war effort and should be put to work. This'is the contention of George Greene of Boston, blind attorney and recently elected state representative, who has proved one of the invaluable volunteers in the great army of citizens manning the aircraft warning service. Working in the first fighter command area, his hearing is so acute he can "spot" planes long before "spotters" with good eyesight know they are even near. Greene does more than hear the planes. He can report instantly the type of plane, its rate of speed, how high it's flying and its direction.

He became a plane spotter when he found this was the only way in which he could co-operate in the war effort, he explained. For a year he has been working in the most difficult and tiresome of shifts, that between midnight and 6 a. through winter and summer months, in all kinds of weather. His post is a wind-swept tower west of Boston. He gets there by street car and on foot, entirely alone.

Greene said his blindness has been compensated by a more acute sense of hearing, as is the case with most of the blind. He urge-3 that this highly sensitized hearing faculty in the blind should be used by the government. Lives for 30 Years With Solomons Cannibal Chief WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND. Father Coicaud, a Catholic priest evacuated from Guadalcanal to New Zealand, told how he had lived in the Solomon Islands for 30 years under the protection of a heacthunter who admitted taking part in 167 banquets of human flesh. "The cannibal chief who gave me protection was named Arisimae," said Father Coicaud.

"The mission purchased land on Malaita island, and I persuaded the chief to watch over my welfare. He said he would be kind to me if I would look after him and give him tobacco and other comforts. "We became firm friends over 30 years ago. Arisimae was a nasty, fearsome looking fellow. However, he always remained my faithful friend." U.

S. Helping Britain Fight Cattle Disease CHICAGO. The United States has been flying veterinarians and scientific equipment to England to help check disease among Britain beef and dairy cattle, and thus increase food supplies, it va3 reported. Dr. John R.

Mohler, chief of the United States bureau of animal industry, said in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association -'that veterinarians already have set up in England a complete system duplicating the effective methods used in America for control of Bang's disease, also called infectious abortion. (Tiy A NeTf ClassU'eeJ I 1 Facilities Bureau of WPB, They do most of the research and spade work, though the actual shifting of contracts is made by Army, Navy, Maritime Commission and other procurement agencies. "VYHEN the Navy had a new job for heavy boring mills, the search for idle tools disclosed 11 of the type needed in Rochester, 14 in Cleveland, six in Warren, and four in New Hampshire. Instead ot letting a contract to manufacture 35 new mills, the job was split up so that the 35 idle tools could be put to work. A vacuum cleaner company which had a contract for making 8500 plane turret motors, was turning them out at the rate of 1500 a month.

Examination of the plant facilities disclosed, however, that this company could make 10,000 a month. So contracts were taken away from other firms making the same motor, and these other plants were put to work on other work for which they were better suited. 17NTIRE plants have on some occasions been swapped by companies to speed up war production. When the Navy wanted a manufacturing plant near an airport from which Vultee torpedo bombers could be built and tested, it was found that a Mack Manufacturing Company works filled the bill of requirements. The Mack Company was already making armored vehicles, but a deal was started whereby Mack would lease space in five other plants so it could lease its own plant to the aircraftmaker.

Emergency reconversions of this type are demonstrating to an amazing degree the extreme flexibility of American industry and Its ability to do "impossible" jobs. Backlogs are eliminated by these shifts, bottlenecks broken, labor tightness relieved by moving plants less critical labor areas. In the big ordnance cutback of last fall, $5 billion worth of contracts were canceled and in a 90-day period, $2 billion worth of new contracts let to 200 contractors for mora critical valves, gears, bearings without a ripple.

The development of human character to keep pace with the development of science has been overlooked in America and in Euvcne and we are reaping some of the fruits of that neglect in the present war, according to Lr. Remhold Schairer, internationally known educator, now at New York University. The rehabilitation of the post-war years, must be in the realm of the St-iiitual as wen as in tne physical and material and the spiritual task hi the more difficult. Sotiom and Gomarrah, he noted, had no poverty cr misery, tut the cities were doomed because the pceple lacked spiritual character; suali can happen to any nation.
