NEW YORK.—It would appear that the blizzard of report forms with which war agencies snow under business isn’t entirely pre c z. meditated Seeking to Check and some. Report Blizzard body ought Ry War Agencies *£ ^ it, if anybody can. At any rate, the War Production board co-operates with a committee of business Aten who will try to cut down the paper overhead, by evolving simplified systems of reporting and account ing. They are waist deep in gov ernment blanks and battling their way out. The government seems sympathetic. Hearing the newly organized de fense forces against the paper blitz is W. J. Donald, president of the American Trade Association Execu tives. He is chairman of a special advisory committee which will work with the WPB, a King Canute wield ing a valiant broom against the pa per inundation. Possibly this is the “mana gerial revolution," which young Prof. James Burnham described In his provocative book of a year or so ago. At any rate, Mr. Donald Is a fair laboratory sample of the oncoming men of management of the professor’s discourse, a John the Baptist in the managerial wilderness for many years, urging the man agers to shake a leg and do something on their own account before being swamped by the burcaucrafts. He was director of the American Management association from 1921 to 1932, scolding the managers, during this period for being “too smug’’ and not considering what might happen to them unless the metes and bounds between man agement and finance and finance and management and govern ment were more clearly defined and regarded. Mr. Donald, Canadian born, natu ralized in 1923, naturally will have to use up a lot more paper in his educational and explorative cam paign among the individual mem bers of 1,200 trade associations, whom he will consult. He wants comments and suggestions. In Sar nia, Ont., where he was born in 1890, he attended the Sarnia Colle giate institute, and later was gradu ated from McMaster university at Hamilton, Ont. He came here in 1911 as manager of the installation staff of the American City bureau, making his U. S. A. career in busi ness economics.

Scott Jr. caught eight or ten lines in the pa* „ .. per when he Routine These flew over Mt Days Outruns All Everest, Pre»iou$ Stunttng mountain in the world by a full mile. For the young colonel, this was a detail of a work-a-day hop from India to China. War reputations build like a coral reef. Off and on for the last few weeks there has been a dribble of news about the long, lanky, Colonel Scott of Macon, Ga., working him self as a “one-man air force” in Burma and China. On June 26 he succeeded Col. Caleb V. Haynes as chief of the India-China air com mand. That means that he and the 21st pursuit squadron, which he commands, are the heirs of the “Flying Tigers," or the American Volunteer group which bombed its way to glory along the Burma road. Early in this encounter, Colo nel Scott demonstrated what we have fondly supposed to be our national aptitude for quick and resourceful action. A troop of Japanese was moving steadily up the Chindwln river in West Burma. The colonel had only a small pursuit plane. He swung a 550-pound bomb in it, and with it scored a bulls-eye on the ad vancing troop. These and simi lar exploits won him a silver star. He is a former West Pointer, 34 years old, indentured in rough and tumble flying, when, with Colonel Haynes, he flew the mails, in 1934. He later commanded the 78th pur suit squadron in Panama. Colonel Scott celebrated his 34th birthday by piloting a Flying Fort ress across the South Atlantic to India and making a quick jump to North Assam in a Tomahawk Fight er. It seems to this onlooker that the new OWI would do well to piece to ; gether the stories of self-starters ' like the colonel and deal them as hot news. The necessity of plan . ning and organization being what it is, the (act remains that these lads are the real spark plugs of our fighting forces and the public would like to receive more news of them. NATIONAL AFFAIRS Reviewed by CARTER FIELD Problem of Women Workers in War Plants . . . Idle Plants Rented For Storage by United States Government . . . Bell Syndicate—WNU Features. “ WASHINGTON.—Women in indus ( try is a theme worrying many think ers and planners for that hoped for period “after the war.” Women are already playing a much greater part | in the war effort than most people realize. In a large plant in Chi cago, recently converted from peace to war production, 85 per cent of the employees are women. The head of the corporation operating this plant told the writer that he found women on the average to be more efficient than men! He also said he was using some women on drill presses. The question which is being raised by the after-the-war plan ners is how to get the women back in the home when peace comes, especially those who are more efficient than men. The manager of any given plant may be disciplined to replace women with men. The profit motive will be working against that. While most of the after-the-war planners are worrying about this as an economic question, it is pointed out by a minority that it is really a social, but not an economic ques tion. They reason this way—every woman who is a wage earner will have buying power. Hence she will purchase goods which in turn will provide employment for others. A ‘Social Problem/ Too The social problem is something else again. Women working in fac tories are not as likely to be mak ing homes as women working in of fices. When it comes to bringing up families the same thing is true, for Washington government work abounds with mothers who are work ing at their desks again after com paratively short periods of time out when their babies were born. So far as the war is concerned the use of women in industry is so important that it cannot be exag gerated. Women can be trained very quickly to the types of work, which, it had always been assumed, required years of training. The truth is that this goes for men too, though women learn com paratively simple mechanical opera tions demanding constant repetition more easily and more quickly than men. But men have been turned into expert die makers in seven weeks, under the strain of war pro duction, whereas it was considered before the war that it took seven years to make a good die maker. • • • Government Might Have Had To Erect Own Warehouses Storage facilities have become one of the bad bottlenecks of the war effort. In the last war lack of proper storage facilities finally re sulted in the government having to take over the railroads. What hap pened then was that every article for the army in France, or for our Allies, had top priority, and conse quently flowed along the rail lines to the ports. There the immense amount of goods piled up, chocking the piers, the water front ware houses and the railroad sidings near by. Plans were made long before this country entered the war to avoid a repetition of this. The railroad ex ecutives worked out the plans, and these were given the blessing of the government. In fact the govern ment has interfered much less with an intelligent working out of a pri ority system on the railroads than one would expect any bureaucratic control to do. But all of this intelligence and planning on the part of the railroads does not obviate the fact that war supplies are being produced more rapidly than they can be delivered on board ship. Hence warehouse facilities are required as they have never been before, not even in the last war. Recently the government at tempted to correct this situation by renting idle plants. The ef fects seem to have been excel lent. In most instances the own ers of the idle plants had just about given up hope of utilizing them for the duration anyhow. So they are pleased to be get ting a little rent, to pay taxes. But the warehouse owners, those regularly in the business and who expect to remain in it after the ; war, are just as pleased. They knew they would have competition of some sort, because the warehouse space simply had to be provided, as a military necessity. Had it not been for the utilization of these idle plants, the government , might have been forced to build ad | ditional warehouses. If this had ; happened the existing warehouse ! men would have faced the problem of competition, perhaps from the ' government, perhaps from competi tors to whom the government sold or leased the new warehouses, AFTER the war. fpATTERNS 8199 _ CO, YOU are going to have a ^ baby!
