This lelease summaiized what happened in the last year, and included these sentences: On March 19, the Piesident set up the National Defense Mediation oBaid, and its prompt settlement of Allis Chalmers tie-u- p the of smaller strikes number and a stemmed the tide. Public feais began to subside as industiy and labor put their shouldeis to the wheel. National defense again forged ahead. The veiy day that lelease was issued, this was the stiike pictuie: Eleven thousand woikeis in the Pacific Coast aii plane industry voted to go on stiike; Pacific Coast shipyaids were closed down by a strike; Pioduction at the governments own $35,000,000 munitions plant in Ravenna, Ohio, was halted by a strike; AFL leadeis warned that new ship- Washington h-'- y Snapshots By Jamea Preston hand whispers in Washof new plans fo ra retell ington of the defense setup in organization an effort to speed the rearmament Behind-th- e drive. The present machinery, as nearly everyone admits is hodgepodge, hit and miss, and particularly has t funnel through a bottleneck the White House. For example, OPM cannot doc'de whether to build new steel plants until the President makes up his mind whether they are needed; Leon Henderson and his price regulators cannot determine whether legislation is needed to strengthen their powers until the President reaches' a decision; s and bo on and on. The President naturally spends a large part of his time worrying of that kind. The truth is that William Knudsen is as right now as ha was a year ago when he said the Time. only defense bottleneck is Valuable time is lost while things drip through the White House funnel. With few exceptions and businessmen at OPM are among those who over-detail- yard strikes threatened in the Great Lakes area; And the threat of another disabling strike hung over the coal industry. That was not an exceptional day. The governments own fig'uies show that the number of disputes has increased since March, and the number of strikes actually adjusted has dropped in the last 20 days. In February, before the Mediation Board stemmed the tide of strikes, the U. S. Concilation Service assigned its men to 327 strikes. In March, the total was 378, in April 439, and in the first four weeks of May it had risen to 474. At the same time, the number of disputes adjusted by the Conciliation Service dropped from 102 in April to s is little agree there argument against a change. But the important thing to some is that apparently those who are in charge of key phases of the program are not being consulted about the new plan. OPM businessmen have speeded production tremendously since the first new defense machinery was created a year ago. But todav they know nothing about the proposed reorganization. As one strongly proadministration businessman at OPM put it: MOSQUITO NETS REPLACE FIRMS LINGERIE LINE The defense progiam has turned Ameiican manufactuiers into such stiange channels that ladies' lingeiie concerns now ate making mosquito nets for the aimy, while a decoy duck maker is turning out shoe lasts.
