Basic Industries Over Peace
Nearing Capacity Is Manifest
struction was up six percent.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—)-
The country’s basic industries,
straining to catch up with raven-
ous public demand for goods, have
nearly reached the limit of their
capacity.
Automobile manufacture jumped
56 per cent over June, trucks 58
percent, sewing machines 30 per-
cent and refrigerators 5 percent.
In that group, however, only
trucks are exceeding the high 1941
production rate: the others still
lag by from 30 to 50 percent.

—those requiring fairly short
periods of training. The highly
skilled trades taking several
years to learn may also be se-
lected.
The Civilian Production Admin-
istration in reporting this last
night said that having attained
“continuous, high level” output,
steel, coal, rails and the power
industry cannot push much high,
er in the near future.
Even so, CPA Chief John D.
Small said "that means that indus-
try is within sight of full produc-
tion of finished goods if industrial
peace continues."
Building activity is rising. Small’s
monthly report said, but “every
step upward requires greater ef-
fort." Total new construction ac-
tivity increased eight percent in .----—-showed

Prewar production rates were
topped in July on tires, washing
machines, radios, vacuum cleaners,
gas ranges, electric irons, gas
ranges, electric ranges and elec-
tric irons. Small said, although

PARIS, Aug. 30—Wb—The peace
conference appears now to be
headed for failure and people in
Paris, both foreigners and French,
both those who know and those
who only feel, are more profound-
ly depressed today than at any
time since the last gun fired in
Europe.
They feel World War III al-
ready is in sight

port, Conn. (AP Wirephoto).
On-the-job training of World
War II veterans under terms of the
GI Bill of Rights now is more popu-
lar here than ever before, L. W.
Keilers, technician of the United
States Employment Service, said
this morning. As many as 15 or
20 new training programs are be-
gun weekly in Abilene alone, he
reported, despite the recently en-
acted ceilings of $175 and $200
monthly that a veteran may earn.
There are now approximately
400 young men receiving training
under the plan in this city, on about
200 different programs, Keilers
added. These projects are divided
into two classifications: apprentice
ship — requiring approximately
four years, and less-than-appren-
ticeship—taking shorter periods
ranging from three months to sev-
eral years.
The Veterans Administra-
tion pays $65 to single veter-
ans and $90 a month to mar-
ried men as monthly subsis-
tence allowance, and the em-
ployer pays them the same
wage at the start as he would
pay any other beginner.
Under a new amendment to
the law, the maximum that a
trainee may ever receive per
month—combining the govern-
ment subsistence and what the
employer pays—is $175 for
single men and $200 married.
Formerly the limit was "full
journeyman's pay,” which in
many instances went over $200
a month.
Less-than-apprenticeship train-
ing in Abilene is under way in the
following jobs: draftsman, engi-
neer. surveyor, pressman, carpen
try, insulation man and salesman,
parts storekeeper, shoe repairman,
sporting goods equipment repair-
man, plumbing, neon sign service-
man, grocery store management,
insurance claims adjuster, refrig
erator mechanic, bank employe,
commercial and protrait photog-
raphy, sales and service appliance
repairman, backer, parts storekeep-
er, shoe salesman, coffee blender,
brickmason, electrical appliance
"A very small percentage of the____, ________
men approved for these programs serviceman, plant superintendent,
are quitting their jobs,” Keilers ’ ‘ ‘ *11
said. "The U. S. Employment Ser-
vice is also receiving requests from
more veterans than it can find
training programs for.”

heard a conversation between a
French policeman and a waiter in
a cafe a short distance from Lux-
embourg Palace. “Keep the moths
out of your uniform, old boy. You -
are going to need it.”
The records of a Frenth fact-'
| finding organization, which at-
I tempts to test public opinion, show •
that the question being openly dis-
cussed now is: “If war breaks out
between Russia and the United
States, etc.?”
The situation has deteriorated
greatly since the peace conference
opened and more particularly with-
in the last week.
There no longer is any doubt
I here about the totally irreconcil-
able policies of Russia and the
bloc of Slavic nations which stand
' with her on the one hand and
those of the west on the other.
The clashes between Soviet
Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov
and U. S. Secretary of State James
F. Byrnes along with the complete-
ly outspoken statements of the
Australians plus the startling in-
dictment of "British dominated
Greece ' by the Ukraine have re-
| moved all question.
| In the middle ol this there came
1 the sound of shots from Yugoslav
fighter planes and the explosion of
a falling American transport.
Contrast this with Versailles—
also a travesty and tragedy—27
years ago.

In this bleak pattern, adding to
the sense of foreboding that hangs,
hevily over Paris today, there has
been the voice of Gen. DeGaulle. |
Frenchmen and foreigners have
varying views of De Gaulle as a
politician and as a national leader
but very few peoplequestionhis
vision, his feeling for the future
Long before the second world
war he foretold in military terms
the kind of war it would be. Just
before it started he said France
would be overrun. After she was
overrun, he declared in the dark-
est days that Germany could nev-
er remain a winner. What is he

saying now?
At Bar-Le-Due recently he spoke
of an inexorable collision of Rus-
sia and the United States. This
week he criticized the proposed
new French constitution on the
ground it gave the president too
little power
Behind his words Frenchmen
feel this implication: France was
disorganized in 1939 Another
1939 is close at hand and this time
she should have a strong hand at
the helm equipped with sufficient
powers to hold the nation on one
course — whichever course that
may be.
