department archives for years then it was resurrected shortly before tho outbreak of World War IT and became the basis of an army manual on military ggvernment issued In 1940 The manual eventually led

broadcast over station WRC War Man Power Chief Paul V McNutt asserted that more than 400000000 man-day- s were lost last year because of accidents— "Frittering away the armament and supplies sufficient for s force comparable with the one which has just struck Sicily with such tremendous force" Major General Henry S Aurand commander of the army's Sixth service command said that if the time lost due to accidents in one year could have been saved the nation might have had 20 more battleships 100 more destroyers 9000 more bombers and 40000 more tanks The president's letter said that management and employes in war plants can collaborate in safety programs and traffic officials can world' out better measures for reducing the risks of accidents '"To this end" he added "I call upon industrial management public officials and every individual citizen to give more attention to safety so that so far as humanly possible we may keep alive and fit for active participation in the great
