United States Steel subsidiaries received 20 awards in a recent na tionwide competition sponsored by the National Safety Council. Subsidiary companies represented were Carnegie-Illinois Steel corporation cor-poration with fourteen winning plants. Steel Supply company with five, and American Steel and wire company with one. i Among the winners were three plants of U. S. Steel Supply com pany at Pittsburgh. St. Louis and Baltimore, and the Wood Works of Carnegie-nilnols Steel corpor ation at McKeeeport, Pa., all of which completed a full year with out accidents. At Wood Works the award tells only a portion of fhe story since operations were carried on continuously for 626 days without a lost-time accident. The outstanding record of this plant, which competed in the rolling, roll-ing, finishing and fabricating division di-vision of the contest, ended recently re-cently in a freak accident when an employee alighted from a small truck and sprained his ankle. Great strides in accident prevention pre-vention have been made since the Slogan, "Safety First," was originated origi-nated in U. S. Steel plants about the turn of the century. Today the accident frequency rate in steel making faculties of U. S. Steel is only about 3.7 per million man hours worked. At this n.-i, a man or woman In its mills could work 120 years without injury. This rate is. about one-tenth of the figure at the time safety campaigns cam-paigns were begun. . Safety engineering, education and many programs designed to make the employee "safety conscious" con-scious" have been the principle methods used through the years to combat this problem. The safety engineer has played fen important role in the corporation's corpora-tion's safety program since its inception. in-ception. Nw safety devices are continually designed and installed, and all. new equipment is carefully care-fully checked by safety engineers before operation is permitted. An active safety education program also has helped prevent accidents' J The training program commences com-mences with the induction program pro-gram for new employees which includes instruction and advice by safety men and supervisors in all phases of safety.

Lord Louis Mountbatten May Follow General Stilwell in Shake-Up of Asiatic Command LONDON. Nov. 2 (U.R3 Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten soon may 1 a. a - t in r xep a own as supreme Aiuea commander com-mander in southeast Asia, usually reliable sources said today as his former deputy. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell, hinted that a large scale offensive was pending in that theater. ' There was increasing evidence that Britain's commands in the far east were undergoing a reshuffle re-shuffle and the question of whether wheth-er Mountbatten would continue as supreme commander was said to be up for final decision in high quarters. It was understood that Mount. batten may relinquish the over-all commana, Dut remain in charge of various important phases of forthcoming operations against the Japanese, particularly amphibious am-phibious operations in which he became skilled while directing Britain's commandos. Stilwell, displaced last week as commander of American forces in China. Burma and India and deputy to Mountbatten, hinted at the scale of the forthcoming operations oper-ations in a farewell note to the British commander released at the letter's headquarters in Kandy, Ceylon. "It is disappointing not to be able to finish my Job in this theater," the-ater," Stilwell said, "but I am glad to have had the opportunity to play a small part in a large undertaking. I offer my best wishes for great success in your forthcoming operations. When the news of that success reaches me, I shall be one of the first to throw my hat in the air." Mountbatten replied that Stilwell Stil-well was leaving behind him a "reputation of being a great fighting general." , "I know Just how much you 11 miss the opportunity of continuing continu-ing your drive (in Burma) and being in at the finish," Mountbatten Mount-batten said. "Your telegram of good wishes is very much appre ciated and I want to wish you the best of luck, whatever your new assignment." Despite the cordial tone of the two notes, however, informants in London said Stilwell and Mountbatten Mount-batten had disagreed sharply regarding re-garding Allied strategy in the far east and were not on speaking terms when the American general gen-eral was recalled at the insistence of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek.

" It was suggested that Mount- planning, such as was evidenced sil oy me spm-svcvwi uming ox nis commando raids on Dieppe and elsewhere, conflicted with S til-well's til-well's blunt belief that Japan was being given too much time to consolidate her stolen empire. Stilwell was understood to have argued that the Japanese ought to be hit soon and often with whatever forces were available until the time for the mighty, climactic drive arrives. plan safety campaigns, develop new safety procedures, and stimu late safety education. Suggestions from individual employees are encouraged, -end supervisors and ; employees work together to furth- j er the safety program. i To build up "safety conscious ness" all available media are used. These include moving pictures, sound slides, bulletin boards, public pub-lic address systems, posters, personal per-sonal letters from plant superintendents superin-tendents to employees, and indi vidual contracts by supervisors. China Will Never have Women Lead Govenment, Author Says By DOROTHY ITEE8AKXER United Press Staff Correspondent MILWAUKEE (U.R) The Far Eastern peace will be an uneasy one because of probable British and Russian hesitation to allow regime in China which is at odds with the Chinese communists. commun-ists. Emily Hahn. authoress, said. Miss Hahn gathered material for her best-selling biography, The Soong Sisters," during her nine years in China. Visiting relatives rela-tives in this area, she told of her stay in China during Japanese hostilities until her repatriation on the Gripsholm last November. She said she escaped interment in Hong Kong when she lied that her husband was a Chinese, who were not interned because Japan never admits being at war with her neighbor. Chiang to Stay There is a sort of communistic com-munistic group in China, just as there is in the United States. Miss Hahn stated, and there are diverse di-verse factions, just as there are here, but there will be no civil war in China while Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek is in charge. Chiang will be the leader until his death, the writer predicted, anticipating a shake - up in the country after that. As for the the famous American-educated Soong sisters, Mme. Chiang Kai-shek. Mme. Kung and Mme. Sun Yat-sen, Yat-sen, leading the nation to democracy de-mocracy in the postwar era. Miss Hahn said no woman would ever lead China. The country will become be-come democratic, with a constitution consti-tution modeled after that of the United States, she said, but only Chinese male leaders would bring about such a government. The writer scored the biting comments made against the Chinese Chi-nese for slow progress in the war. "We can't scream at them for not doing better." she said, "because "be-cause we don't send them ammunition ammu-nition and they have none. All during the war. the United States sent China only as many tanks as were lost in one day on the Normandy beachhead." Eliminates Corruption But nevertheless, Chiang has a good army, mainly because of his reform movement, which kept political po-litical corruption out of it and rejuvenated the weary Chinese brigade, Miss Hahn stated. She said the reform which asked conscription con-scription of secondary school students, stu-dents, hitherto draft-exempt, was dangerous because China's youth always started revolts. The industrial co-opcratlves, led strongly by Kung Hsiang-hsi (husband of Eling Soong), now in a period of depression and internal in-ternal conflict, will unify China's scattered territory, according tn the writer, and will be the start of the Industrialized nation. Because Be-cause they are operated by clans or families, the co-operatives also al-so will bring about good - will within the countr'i Miss Hahn said. " A regular contributor to New Yorker magazine, for which she wrote while in China, her next book, "China to Me," a partial autobiography, au-tobiography, will be published in November.
