An SBAEF mlssUn In Farb Is stvdyiag iadnstrUI re- Bjr TOM WOLF WEA Stair Ce PARIS, Jan. 4 The immediate' future' of France Is largely dependent de-pendent on how well the 'French can succeed In restarting their basic industries. That in turn, as Robert La Coste, Minister of Production, Pro-duction, freely admitted to this correspondent, is largely dependent depend-ent on what the Allies are willing to let the French buy and import An SHAEF mission recently moved Into Paxil to deal with this complex problem. Conferences are already under way between French civil officials and the SHAEF mission. The situation is further complicated com-plicated by the fact that the French themselves have only a general Idea of what raw materials materi-als are available in France. Communications Com-munications are still poor with many sectors of the country, and all but non-existent in the southwest south-west where there still are many Germans. Nonetheless certain basic needs are obvious. First come transportation and communications. com-munications. But that's only the beginning of the problems. Once French industry has transportation transporta-tion and power, where is it going to get raw materials? FLAN "A" To answer this question it's necessary to go back to planning days before the invasion. At the time that the original blueprints were drawn up, the Army estimated esti-mated what would be needed to prevent "disease and unrest" among the civil populations of all construction problems, northwest Europe. "Disease and unrest" constitute a direct threat to military operations. This estimate became known as "Plan A." The plan is not a contract con-tract pledging Britain or America to sell anything to anyone. It was simply a very flexible procurement procure-ment plan so that supplies would be available if and when needed. Plan A contains no shipping figures fig-ures like 30,000 tons monthly, which we contracted to ship the French in North Africa. It simply sim-ply foresaw the general need for food, clothes and certain other basic manufacturers. . Plan A necessarily looked forward for-ward to a vastly slower, more destructive sort of war than has in fact been fought in France since the end of the Normandy campaign. It therefore empha sized finished products emer gency food, clothes and manufactures. manufac-tures. These things are of course useful to France today, but they won't help much in getting French industry back onto Its feet. During the period of military operations roughly estimated to be six months after the Army enters en-ters any area SHAEF'g attitude is that, in the words of one ranking rank-ing officer, "Our job is first aid. We dont attempt to solve long ranee problems." The same offi cer continued, "We Just don't know the answers ourselves and how much well bring in. France needs less food at the moment than we had feared she. might. We ve had to do less emergency feeding. U. S. Steel Finds Jobs For Many Disabled War Veterans Many severely handicapped veterans 'returning to the steel mills can still qualify for jobs, a survey made by united states Steel discloses. Thousands of iobs were surveyed in preparation for the return of handicapped veter ans to United States Steel corpor ation subsidiaries. The lob survey, which will de termine the types of Jobs on which Injured veterans may be safely and productively employed. covers every Jpb In the plant The most common' handicaps, such i oss of legs, arms, fingers, toes, N eyesight, and hearing, as well as Uons, and back Injuries, are all listed on the chart and the allow able disabilities checked. In this wayvwhen a veteran returns with any of these major losses, the sur vey will show immediately what jobs are open for Aim provided he is ouerwue quauuea. a returned re-turned veteran can perform, for example, the job of ladle lining! even-though he has lost an eye, certain fingers, certain toes, has a nervous disorder, or defective hearing. In case the veteran has lost the sight of one eye, certain fingers, a leg, has defective hear ing, a nervous condition or a weak heart, he -can perform the job of machinist. The survey was made under the leadership of the director of safe-: ty In each plant with the help of specially appointed working com mlttee men from each department depart-ment who also participate In most of the activities of the veteran program. As part of the comprehensive! program for re-employing vet erans, Carnegie-nitoois Steel cor poration, largest U. S. steel unit, faatrprepared a booklet containing me company re-empioyment poli cy for distribution to all em ployes now In the armed services. J. L. Perry, president of Car negie-Illinois. In his letter to em ployes In the armed forces,, which! Is contained In the booklet, sums! up the attitude toward returning veterans in the following words: . "Althought production has ne cessarily occupied most of our time, we have seized every opportunity op-portunity to plan for your return. we consider our employes our greatest asset, and we look for ward to the day when there will be a place for you as one of our employes who will re-enlist In the business of making steel for peace-time use." The booklet contains a ques- tlonaire asking whether the vet eran expects to return to the com pany, what new skills he has developed, de-veloped, and his suggestions In reference to re-employment This will give the company an oppor tunity to determine how, many men may be expected to return to each job classification. The period in which a service man takes leave of his military life and becomes re-acquainted with his job skiU, job associates, and environment may well determine de-termine not only his economic future but his entire future happi ness. It was to hurdle this transi tion period that the company early this year developed its policy for returning servicemen. DAILY HERALD PROVO. UTAH COUNTY. UTAH ' THURSDAY. JAVTTAKV A iuc ?.'

Therefore tractors, trac-tors, plows and harrows are on the list because they reduce food tonnage.

Until we I fighting fronts our supply routes will be strained meeting number one military priorities -let aiene manner two. With the exception of one possibility, pos-sibility, French industry isn't going go-ing to get much help from the Allies during the military period. The one exception is that the Army's general purchasing agent Is now In process of survey in what war materials may be ob tainable from French factories. These might include silk for para chutes, some optical instruments. some chemicals and a few other items. At the moment It seems unlikely that the Army will be able to get much from heavy industry in-dustry here. rv GovernmentTo Use 26,000 On Farm Census By RUTH GMEINER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UJ0 Early in January 26,000 government census cens-us takers will sharpen their pen cils, tuck record books under their arms and set out to count agricultural agricul-tural noses. It will be the two-month task of these Census Bureau interviewers inter-viewers to make a comprehensive comprehens-ive tabulation of U. S. farms, farmers, farm dollars, livestock, crops and other miscellaneous agricultural ag-ricultural data. The first farm census was tak en more than 100 years ago, in 1840, and was repeated once every ev-ery decade until 1920 and once every five years since then. Congress Opposed Funds. There still is some doubt that the 1945 census ever will be completed com-pleted and made public. It is a $12,500,000 job and so far Congress Con-gress has appropriated only $?,-250,000 $?,-250,000 for the purpose enough to carry out the interviewing and pay the 26,000 enumerators. The 78th congress in a last rebellious re-bellious gesture refused to authorize au-thorize the additional $5,000,000 needed to add up the figures and publish the findings. Anti-census legislators termed the survey a political pork-barrel and said it duplicated work of the Agriculture Agricul-ture Department However, the Census Bureau plans to proceed with th- census the first week of January, witn tne nope tnat a " new congress will appropriate the funds. First question census takers will determine Is, "what const! tutes a farm?" The official answer will be, if three of more acres are devoted to the output of agricultural pro ducts, or If farm commodities val ued at more than $250 were produced pro-duced in 1944, the acreage becomes be-comes a farm for census purposes. purpos-es. Detailed Livestock Survey The same basic questions will be asked every farmer: His name. age, race, farm location, number of buildings on the farmstead and facilities. However. Queries on field crops, fruits and vegetables .and otner produce harvested will vary according to the section of tne country. Perhaps the most detailed questions ques-tions will cover the livestock population. pop-ulation.

Cyril Callister, dean of the University of Utah's new four- year medical school, has resigned his position effective Feb. 1 to devote de-vote full time to his surgical practice. Callister said in tendering his resignation to the University board of regents that he had nearly completed the task assigned as-signed him by the board in setting set-ting up an accredited four-year medical curriculum at the university. univer-sity. Dr. LeRoy E. Cowles, university president, praised Callister for having done a "remarkable piece of work in organizing the new medical school and staffing it with some of the world's out standing nrofessors." "We sincerely appreciate tne snlendid iob he has done," Cowles added.
