On Dance Stand
Dear Editor
Congratulations to those School
Board members who had the au-
dacity to vote their minds in favor
of silowing school-supervised high
school dances to be held on school
property From whst I con gather
In and around our fair city, the
vaat majority of Abilenians lend
the action of the board its appro-
bation *
As usual, the majority is too
timid to speak its mind This ma-
jority includes a great host of
Chriatian citizens, who honestly
feel snd believe that it is for the
common good to bold dances for
our children under mature faculty
supervision, rather than force
teen-agers to seek out their own
entertainment This belief has
been fostered by persons! ex-
perience and the undeniable suc-
cess of the YMCA here in Abilene
in its furnishing students con-
sidered. wholesome and Chriatian
entertainment, which includes a
moderate amount of dancing.
According to J. Edgar Hoover,
head of the Federal Bureau of In-
vestigation, supervised extra-cur-
ricular activities for teen-agers are
the boot answer to the serious
problem of juvenile delinquency.
Supervised school dances are be-
ing conducted in most high schools
in the United States, and the re-
suits teem to be exemplary, as I
am sure they would be here
Very truly yours.

SHORTAGE OF TECHNICIANS
2. There is an acute shortage of
skilled technicians

coat the taxpayer considerably
more than last time
At present about 96,000 persons
are employed directly in aircraft
work to the Loa Angeles area.
Douglas alone had 160.000 in 1943.
Lockheed had another 94.000.
More help must come from some-
where.
Aa aa official at North American
aviation put it "We don't need
Rosie the Riveter this time; we
need skilled labor—draftsmen, en-
gineers. machinists, and electron-
ica specialists. There just aren't
enough to go around ’'
That means some sort of train-
ing program must be act up. Four
plants already are working on it.

ed men for its own use as well as
fur other factories. The school,
which takes men directly from,
college, keeps up an enrollment of
750 to 1,000 students
Expanded production will create
more work—and employ ment—in
thousands of small machine shops
and plants making everything from
castings to electric switches.
PRODUCTION METHOD*
Only Lockheed proposes any ma-
jor alternation in its World War II
production methods. Previous-
ly Lockheed sub-contracted smirk. to
1500 small plants The company
now plans to have six larger firms
do the same work.
Lockheed reports that Cessna,
and Beech, Wichita Kan Chance-
Vought, and Temeo, Dallas, and
Rohr. San Diego, already are tool-
ing up in anticipation of increased
orders. Lockheed will build only
the center sections of its F-94 jet
interceptor, T-33 jet trainer, PJV
Navy patrol bomber, and Constella-
tion cargo plane
The company figures that 21,000
employes will - be sufficient to
handle its output. Some 20,000 now
work at the big Burbank plant.
NEEDS MORE
North American had 24,000 last
time and believes it will have to
surpass that figure in the present
effort because its operation la
larger. In work now at North
American are the F-M E and D
aeries Sabre jet fighters, T-28 train-
er, AJ-1 Navy attack bomber, and
B-45 light bomber
North American and Northrop
also are developing guided mis-
siles. Northrop has only one plane
in work, the F-M twin jet Scorpion,
an a -weather interceptor.
Douglas, the largest firm with
three plants and another opening
up in Tulsa, Okla., has 25,000 em-
ployee building the AD Series
Navy attack bomber, the F3D
carrier based jet fighter, and the
familiar DC3 and DCS transports.
Douglas will build the B47 jet bomb-
er for Boeing at Tulsa.
The industry since the outbreak
of hostilities in Korea has been
hiring st the rate of 300 a day.

Western Europe not be allowed to
fall Into Communiat bands, but he
held that the bulk of the defensive
land forces should be furnished by
the Europeans themselves.
"If war comes,” he said, “we
must then do with our air, sea and'
land forces what the strategic ne-
cessities require in support of our
commitments We will not let our
allies down nor must they let us
down.”
In a speech prepared for Senate
