Mr. Moore's study, however, finds no reason for supposing that the FRB assumptions in this respect are reliable. He shows that if man-hours were excluded from the FRB estimate the result would be practically the same as his own. It is possible, Mr. Moore holds, to compare the production of industrial materials in the peace and war periods; but because of the enormous dif- ferences in the nature of the finished product he does not believe that it is possible to construct any reliable comparison of total industrial production in the peace and war periods Mr. Moore's study is a highly technical one, and the statistics will have to fight it out. But if his find- ings are correct, some extravagant pictures of the immediate post-war economic world, as well as mis- leading comparisons of production under war con- ditions and under peace conditions, will have to be revised sharply. mnd Class Matter. local news published Politics Vs. Generals (Washington Post) The most effective way to satbotage an army com- mander’s prestige and usefulness is to cast him in the role of an officeseeker. Whatever he may do henceforth is suspect. No matter how innocent he may be of political motivation, his public statements and even his military decisions are liable to be in- terpreted as bids for popular esteem. He cannot fail under such circumstances to suffer a loss of public confidence in the absolute disinterestedness of the hard choice which his military office may require hm to make. This is a consideration which ought to be borne |in mind by men who are now touting certain dis- tinguished generals at potential political candidates. | Some of the self-appointed spokesmen are no doubt well-intentioned. Others merely seek to advance their own interests by hitching their wagons to military stars. In either case their effect is mischievous embarrassing to the generals concerned and hurtful to the prosecution of the war. Tt is extremely difficult for a general to wriggle out of a candidacy pinned upon him by unauthorized politicos. A denial of aspirations might seem an act of arrogance. The two officers who Have suffered most from this sort of unsought promotion are, of course, our great chief of staff, General Marshall, and the commander of the Southwest Pacific theatre of operations, General MacArthur. In time, doubtless, bumptious boosters will nominate Generals Eisen- hower and Arnold. Admirals King and Nimitz are, of course, equally entitled to this dubious glorifica- ition.

King, went to the President and got him to approve the issue of the new| uniforms despite Knox. KNOX'S NAVY One of the last persons to whom the late Secretary of the Navy talk- ed shortly before he died, was his close friend Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire. To the very end, his mind was on the Navy. Knox told Bridges of his struggle to build up the fleet from its des-| perately weak state following the attack on Pearl Harbor. “Only a few of us, who were in| a position to know all the facts,| realized how badly crippled our| Navy was after Pearl Harbor,” Knox informed Bridges. “But now,” he added, “the Navy is the greatest fighting force in! the world. The American people will have even more reason to be proud of its accomplishments in the months to come, when we will| form a steel ring around the pos- sessions the Japs have acquired in the Pacific and will completely cut the Japs off from those possessions. “It won't be very long,” Knox predicted, “until we have the Japs completely isolated in the Pacific and they will wither on the vine.” PATTON'S PROMOTION ALMOST OKAYED After months of bitter internal squabbling, the Senate Military Af-} fairs Committee soon will recom- mend the promotion of Lieut. Gen. Brehon Somervell, Chief of the Army Service Forces, to become a permanent major general. However, Lieut. Gen. George S. Patton of “slapping” fame, who, like Somer- vell, is only a colonel in permanent rank, will not be approved for pro- motion, Inside fact is that the commit- tee was all set to okay both officers at a recent closed-door meeting, but Patton again jinxed himself by his untimely London statement that it was the destiny of the United| States and Great Britain (later he added Russia) “to rule the world.” Meantime, Somervell's promotion was held up by a hot fight over | committee procedure. “Happy” Chandler of Senator Kentucky furiously objected to the discharge | of a fivesman subcommittee, headed | by bimself, which had been con-| |y | without my knowledge while T was | out of town.

Frawley, Operator-in-Charge of the local cable office, received a telegram which stated that the Secretary of War had directed that it be broadcast throughout Alaska that the American Newspaper Alliance had offered $1,000 reward for the first person to reach the missing " Army aviators or for definite information which would result in their discovery. The cutter Bear, which carried a JN-6 Curtiss land plane, was to come North to aid in the search for Major Martin and Lt. Harvey. Advices from the Coast Guard cutter Haida at Atka were to the effect that snow and fog was preventing the hop-off of the remaining three Army globe fliers. The local open season on moose, heretofore beginning August 20, was announced by E. P. Walker, Alaska Agent for the Biological Survey, as being postponed ten days and would open September 1, this year. The closed season on marten and beaver, which had become effective the previous July, was continued under the new regulations for another 12 months. E. M. Ball, U. S. Fisheries Agent for the Southeast Alaska district, was expected to leave Washington for Juneau, according to advices received by Earle L. Hunter, Acting Agent in charge of the local office of the Bureau of Fisheries. ! The Coast Guard cutter Unalg& Capt. John Boedecker, left port | the previous day to resume its patrol of the seal herd which it was to accompany to the Pribilof Islands.
