In reply, Roosevelt quoted War Mcbilizer Jimmy Burnes to the ef- fect that there was plenty of uxm to plan for reconversion. | To this Kaiser declared that Byrnes was over-optimistic, and probably hadn’t been able to study the picture carefully enough. Kaiser also pointed out that a good busi- ness man tapers off his work se eral months before a contract ends, {so that even when contracts last| until July, lay-offs start in March, | The upshot of all this was two- fold. First, Roosevelt authorized | Kaiser to make an appeal to “ar| | workers to stay on the job, assure! (them that adequate consideration would be given to keeping them at work in the post-war period. Sec- ond, Roosevelt promised he would | review the reconversion picture | himself and take prompt action to | see that industry is given greater | opportunity to plan for speedy re- conversion.

Shortly after ar- rivel, the entire crew was flown to Alaska by Clyde Pangborn, thence came back to the United States. | The fact that the crew was not interned ‘was not kept sufficiently secret and, before long, reached Tokyo. A protest was lodged in Moscow. The Russians replied that the United States airmen were| being held and that, as a neutral, Russia had no choice but to hold them. The Japs then asked to be taken to the prison camp where the bomber crew was impriscned. The Rusvians, however, retreated behind Governmental secrecy, replying “of course, you know that no foreigners have been allowed in that part of Siberia for years.
