Directed by Louis A. Johnson, assistant secretary of war, the army has located 10,000 factory owners who will turn over their plants to manufacture war necessities at a moment's notice. With a $10,000,-00- 0 appropriation, the army is now placing "educational orders" with these factories and perfecting dies and machinery which will be supplied to processors in the event of emergency. For example, typewriter factories would begin making rifle sights, and beer can machinery would make bomb cases. Secretary Johnson is also directing plans for mobilization of electricity. Recently announced is a $2,000,000,000 expansion plan for private utility companies, guaranteeing that the nation will have sufficient reserve power on There is some talk of connecting all the nation's electric lines. Plan Rail Defenses. Since railroads would be a vital factor on the government is encouraging carriers to expand their lines. This problem was recently brought to a head by the carriers' plea for a 15 per cent wage reduction. Although the request was denied, it is likely that next winter's congress will vote subsidies to help railroads lay new track and build more powerful equipment. Less noticeable are v to train substitute workers whoplans will replace regular factory workers called to the front trenches The government would also regulate prices to prevent profiteering, control wages and hours and take other steps to keep the country running smoothly behind its fighting army.

Air Corps Powerful. The army air corps now has 1,250 planes, with 1,050 on order and an additional 2,320 slated for completion before 1940. This will place the United States in an enviable air power position, since our bombing planes are already superior to those of most nations. On the infantry side, the army hopes to increase tank regiments and modernize fighting tactics. Only 2 of the 14 cavalry regiments are now mechanized, and field artillery equipment is deficient. U.

Listed in order cf their probability, the four causes of American mobilization are (1) civil uprising on the mainland of the United States; (2) war provoked in South America by fascist expansion; (3) any war in Europe or Asia into which the United States might be drawn; and (4) invasion of the Unit-- I i pointment lying down, but dec V to brighten up that scarf andir-- " her wi ten set and make it speak a!r it's m: eign language as welil She fourj! gives Jor d the Swedish desg-shown here and copied it in aJjsJ jombi: gay colors on the ends of the scarl grown 224 ci and backs ot the mittens. lug th Hand knitted mittens and othej knitted things in plain colors mai it and equir also be decorated with this To flower pattern.
