And regarding plans for shifting the nation’s economy to a peace- time basis when the war is over, Wallace already has asked two ad- visers to draw up recommendations on this, particularly a plan to de- centralize overcrowded industrial centers by a nation-wide, low-cost housing program. Aside .from these's however, one thing is certain. Henry Wallace will not confine himself to calling the Senate to order at 12 o'elock ncon.

Edgar Hoover is now turning |out special agents of the FBI at the phenomenal rate of 40 a week. The training course has been cut down from 15 weeks to 7 weeks, but the work is more intensive.

Hoover now has almost at- tained that mark, with 1340 trained and 160 more to be produced.
