NEBRASKA WAR PLANTS
HELP BOMB TOKYO
Major General L. N. Campbell,
Jr., chief of ordnance, told WML |
directors that industry had achieved
miracles of production in this war. ]
“Hitler did not think it possible
for American industrialists, long
accustomed to the intense competi
tion that prevailed under the
American private enterprise system,
to get together to do the mammoth
and unfamiliar job that confronted
this nation three years ago when
the Jap sneak attack on Pearl
Harbor plunged us into war,” Gen
eral Campbell said. “But ordnance
‘know-how’ and American in
dustrial drive and ingenuity made
it possible for us to outproduce
our enemies. Our major respon
sibility now is to keep our armies
adequately supplied.” The general
pointed out the terrific operational
punishment to equipment during
war. He said approximately one
hundred 2%-ton trucks have to be
scrapped every day on a single
great military highway. On the
same famous highway in France,
he said about 5,000 tires are used
up every day, seven days a week,
or one tire burned out every
fifteen seconds.
“It is the policy of all American
generals to apply firepower by
means of thousands of tons of
bombs and high explosive shells
h to win victories and to save the
^ lives of our fighting men,” Major
General L. N. Campbell, Jr., chief
of ordnance, said. He pointed out
that in the attack on Kwajalein
Island in the Pacific more than
($,000 artillery shells were em
ployed to blast the Jap defenders.
Firepower had saved lives . . . the
lives of our troops, he said, because
when assault troops landed, they
suffered only a small number of
casualties. “We have the manu
facturing skill to do the job,” the
General said. “What we do not
have in sufficient numbers is man
power—additional patriotic men
and woman who will get into the
fight so that we can finish the war
in the shortest possible time.”
J. R. Kinder, state director of the
War Manpower Commission, says
that “When General MacArthur
invaded the Philippines, he made
it hot for the Japanese ... he also
made it hot for his own soldiers . .
he made it hot for us too. The
General stepped-up the use of
heavy artillery ammunition a con
siderable amount, just as did Gen
e r a 1 Eisenhower. Consequently
there is a shortage, and it is up to
us at Nebraska’s three ammunition
plants to get workers enough to
meet his needs. Let’s be sure that
no American soldier is killed be
cause we failed to do our part!”
Nebraska played a big part in put
ting General MacArthur in the
Philippines. Let’s continue to pave
the way for him on the road to
Tokyo. Softening up of islands of
the Philippines was accomplished
by airplanes made in Omaha.
J2ombs with which they blasted Jap
installations were loaded at Mead
and Grand Island. Components for
these bombs and artillery shells
used by the invading land forces
came from scores of factories in
Nebraska cities. When the convoy
unloaded the foot soldiers for the
invasion, they were preceded by a
barrage of steel manufactured at
Hastings and shot from navy guns.
The turkey for Christmas dinner
came from Nebraska poultry pro
cessing plants, and much of the
daily rations of both army and
navy was prepared by the various
food industries of Nebraska. Ne
braska played a big part in putting
General MacArthur where he is
today. As he advances, he must
have more and more of these Ne
braska supplies. More men and
women must go into war plants to
make a continuance of his victories
possible..
< _
American workers, facing the
battle of licking the axis production
system, should know something
about their personal enemy, the
Japanese workman, J. R. Kinder,
State Director of the War Man
power Commission, said. He point
ed out that the seventy million
Japanese control a potential, rather
docile, working force of 400,000,000
enslaved peoples. There is no pro
duction for luxury use and, with
the low living level, their produc
tion strength is out of proportion to
their industrial strength. The aver
age Japanese factory wage is 40c
a day. However, this buys a fair
Japanese living, because the worker
pays only 3c for his lunch of rice,
fish and pickled vegetable, and his
dwelling rents for $6 to $9 a
month. The top Japanese movie
MTtress earns $1,500 a year, and aj
wuJl general’s pay is but $1,914.
With the exception of big in
dustrial plants, the factories are
spread through thousands upon
thousands of private homes. In
1930, the census showed 64 per
cent of all industrial workers
were in factories with less than
five employees. In Tokyo, there
are 42,000 employees scattered
through 4,500 metal shops. Japan
eses heavy industry is concentrated
in less than 10 cities.
Just as Berlin has been the tar
get in Germany, Tokyo is the target
in Japan. It is far larger than
Berlin, with a population of more
than seven million, stretching over
217 square miles. The center of
the city, rebuilt after the 1923
earthquake, is like a western
metropolis, with its great steel and
concrete buildings and broad streets
built as a firebreak. Nagoya, with
1,250.000 people, is the textile cen
ter, and Osaka, population 3,350,000,
is as sooty and leaden as Pittsburgh,
whose industries it duplicates.
American war workers are being
challenged in production records by
millions of workers trained in
making toys and now producing
parts for ammunition.

to essential work as rapidly as
possible by obtaining proper clear
ance through the United States
Employment Service and their se
lective service local boards, or, in
the case of agriculture, by obtaining
proper clearance through the coun
ty agricultural agent, or his repre
sentative, in the area where the
farm is located, and their selective

For men, ages through 37, who
are in essential work and refuse
to stay there, and for those who
are not in essential work and re

has nothing but induction to offer.
It is estimated that during the first
six months of this year, there will
be 2,000 registrants, ages 30 through
37, who will be inducted for general
military service. This does not in
clude “job jumpers” who do not
qualify for general military service
but who will be inducted for ser
vice other than of the general
military service category.
“I’d like to volunteer my services
for the war bond show next week,”
a soft-spoken private informed the
talent recruiting officer at the past
post.
“What do you do?” inquired the
officer.
“Impersonations of George M.
Cohan, Sing his songs like “Yankee

“Okay,” said the officer, “we’ll

“George M. Cohan, Jr.”
METHODISTS OF CHAMBERS

14 PER (ENT DROP Ik
TRAFFIC FATALITIES
The Nebraska Safety Patrol has
I announced that a splendid reduc
tion in traffic fatalities has taken
place during the past year. This
decrease amounts to a 14 per cent
drop in deaths in Nebraska when
compared to the fatalities whicn
occurred during 1943. The above
figure means a saving of 28 human
lives. Who these people are that
had their lives saved, it is not pos
sible to tell. It might possibly have
been the mother of a family, the
father of a household, or some
body’s little boy or girl and it is
quite possible that it might have
been you, the patrol points out.
This good record, which is Ne
braska’s best, is most remarkable
and a most encouraging way for
both motorists and pedestrians to
start the year of 1945.
Over 26,000 motorists, who made
violations which make up the
causes of most accidents, were
given warnings, violation or “must
repair” cards or—in flagrant cases
—were arrested during the past
year of 1944 by the Nebraska
Safety Patrol.
High in the patrol’s 1944 activi
ties were the 15,053 violation or
“must repair” cards given motor
ists for faulty equipment. Faulty
head and tail lights made up most
of the equipment violations.
Written warnings for dangerous
driving practices were given 4,455
other motorists.
Motorists in distress, also re
ceived the attention of the patrol
men with 11,620 being given various
forms of aid. This aid in most
cases consisted of changing tires
and the towing in of stalled auto
mobiles. Other assistance given to
Nebraskans included the making of
emergency runs to hospitals and the
carrying of life-saving serums.
The patrol gave 402 safety talks
to schools and many civic organi
zations. Investigated and reported
were 909 accidents.
In addition to helping or warning
all these motorists, the patrol also
arrested 6,516 violators who dis
regarded their own safety and that
of their fellow motorists by making
dangerous violations. Heading this
list, were 1,347 speedsters, 611 who
were too reckless, 520 who didn’t
believe in “stop” signs and the 421
who forgot that driving and drink
ing don’t mix.
The patrol recovered 117 stolen
cars which have an estimated value
of $71,443.
Through the efforts of the patrol,
Nebraska and outstate truckers paid
$86,637.62 in tonnage fees to the
county treasurers.
With $50,208.49 in fines which
went to the common school fund,
brought the valuation of the pa
trol’s activities to $208,289.11.
To complete the activities of the
patrol, several hundreds army con
voys were escorted over Nebraska
highways by the patrol. This in
cluded military personnel, wrecked
planes and explosives.
