II The crack of the bat, the thud : of the punter's toe against the football in these things, in the autumn of this year 1941, Americans are still blessedly permitted to be interested. The world series, the opening games of the football season, these hold briefly our, attention, whil across the world people watch and play their -parts in a grimmer game. Does it seem irresponsible for a great nation to rivet its attention on the hop of a sharp-hit baseball or the spiral flight of a deftly tossed toss-ed forward pass, while there is being fought what may prove to have been the bloodiest- battle the world has ever seen? We think not. In spite of wars, revolutions, and all the tumults of the social organization, or-ganization, life must go on. No ' one can forget Carlyle's vivid picture of how in Paris, during the most shocking horrors of the Reign of Terror, Ter-ror, thousands went the ways of their daily life quite heedless heed-less of all these things. The pitcher must go to the well, and the clothes must go to the laundry in the face of the greatest and most world-shaking world-shaking e v e n t s. Business can't be "as .usual' .and. life can't be "as usual" in these days. The overwhelming stark fact of war throws its shadow over every activity of man throughout the worlds Yet man is so constituted that in the face of the most overpowering, disasters, ..-.JieJ grasps for such pleasures as he can, and finds them good. If British people who may, before any mornings sun rises, be bombed into eterni ty, can spend those evenings at the movies (and they do) there is no good reason -whj the people of the United States should not sit cheering cheer-ing in the stands while yet they may.

OPM Submits Plan For Expansion Of teellFkciliiies Location of Proposed Expansion Not Yet Revealed; 10 IKilliorif Tons of Additional Addi-tional Steel Production Joal WASHINGTON, Oct.' 1 U.R The OPM today prepared to svfynit its plan for increasing steel producing facilities by 10,000,GCC- tons annually to government financing agencies. agen-cies. They will p?y for most of the expansion which will cost $1,250,000,000.- The supply priorities and relocations board late yesterday yester-day approved the plan to increac pre.-i sJei capacity from 89,000,000 to 99,000,000 tons annually. It' was recommended recom-mended by OPM Director General " , William S. Knudsen. Spokesmen for the SPAB.aid the decision to expand was?', "a policy action" which would be carried out by OPM. The approval approv-al was in line with the SPAB's announced policy of doing every thing possible to expand produc tion : of vital defense materials, it was stated. -Knudsen's recommendation to SPAB was based on a. study made by W. H. Hauck, OPM steel consultant, con-sultant, at the request of President Presi-dent Roosevelt. - -Where thenewL plant wiH-be-; built or existing faciuties ex panded, and what companies, will do the building and expanding will be left "in the province" of OPM, the spokesman said. Whether the proposed Provo steel expansion occupies a place in the enlarged' steel program appears uncertain. On June 19, the OPM announced an-nounced that a $57,200,000 ex pansion of the Columbia Steel company plant at Provo had been projected by the U. S.

Some two weeks later Senator Sena-tor Elbert D. Thomas announced from Washington that the project proj-ect faced an indefinite delay as the steel Industry's resurvey showed ample capacity existed in plants already built, providing defense priorities and drastic civilian civ-ilian curtailments were practiced. On , September 12, the OPM announced the U. S. Steel corporation cor-poration had again indicated willingness will-ingness to go -ahead with its western expansion program, either eith-er in Utah or California, the choice of location being up to OPM and the president.
