SOVIET ARMS PRODUCTION GREAT The scope of the Russian armament industry fs rate- ly appreciated by Americans. A recent tabulation, based on statements Premier Joseph Stalin made shortly after World War II, gives some idea of the huge capability of the Soviet armament industry. This tabulation shows that the Russians probably produced as many planes as did the Germans in the year 1944, the Nazi’s peak year, and that the Reds probably produced more tanks and self-propelled guns in 1944, than the total German output during World War II. The Soviet output of tanks and self-propelled guns-in 1944 is thought to have been about three-fourths as large as pro- duction in the United States, of these weapons, in 1943. From these figures, it will be seen that the Soviet armament industry is the major threat to world, peace to- day. While the United States is in no way capable of | tion. quickly returning to 1948 armament production, the Sov- fet Union has actually expanded its armament produc- tion capabilities, and is probably manufacturing, or able to manufacture, more guns and tanks today than in 1944, While the United States has made some progress on ® rearmament program, it would take this country’s in- dustry some time to again reach 1943 production totals, Soviet production of tanks, planes and other armored vehicles and weapons was as large as it was in 1944 be- cause the Russians did not attempt to manufacture as much motorized transport for its army as did the United States and some other countries. The Russian effort since the war is thought to have been directed toward this goal, to. some extent. Defpite fie backwardness of the Soviet Union in the field of motor transport in World War II, the huge pro- duction totals achieved — and recently given widespread | pa Publicity —- show that arms production in the Soviet Union is not to be taken lightly. The United States, long the foremost industrial nation in the world, will not be able to afford the luxury of complete demobilization and conversion to civilian production as long as the Soviet threat is real as it is today.

Such a mea- sure has a profound importance in a Democracy. It is so vital for the public to be educated if they head the government of our coun- try, and they surely do that as we have witnessed in our recent elec- There were many amendments, and many candidates to be con- sidered by John Q. Public. Each one could fill a book in the story attached to it. If one is to vote intelligently, he must be well educated; thus such a thing as holding “American Education Week” is a good step in the right direction for every American citi- zen. The theme this year is ‘‘Children In Today’s World.” The organiza- tions in sponsoring ‘“‘American Edu- cation Week” have aptly chosen this topic. We have more children in the nation at present than ever before in our whole history. Mil- lions of’ adults discpss them pro and con. Are they better today? Are they worse today? Are they given too much freedom? Is delin- quency greater? Are they better informed? Are they poorly pre- red? The majority of American adults will swear that children surely changed. Maybe we adults have changed, and we never saw ourselves as children. Certainly children of today are faced with more complexities than a genera- tion ago. Science, machinery and history have taken care of that. “Children In Today's World” live in greater luxury, and have great- er opportunities awaiting them. We may be all thankful for that fact. have | Laurer Tre. oN 8loGcr r i i He’s At Hone Guiding Any Show Business By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD «® — Award for the most versatile man in show business goes to Richard Barstow. He’s at home whether he’s direct- ing a chorus of glamor girls, ele- phants or automobiles. This Barstow is quite a guy. He directed everything from Noel Coward’s “‘Tonight at 8:30” with Gertrude Lawrence to ‘‘Hellzapop- pin’ ” with Olsen and Johnson. Or from an ice ballet to a St. Louis fashion show with symphony or- chestra and 300 models. | Take a look at his current sched- jule. He’s finishing up dances for \“The Girl Next Door,” a movie with June Haver and Dan Dailey. Then he goes to New York to stage a new revue, “Between Two Rivers” with Dorothy Shay. Then to Cuba to convert the Barnum and Bailey-Ringling Bros. circus to a one-ring show. Oh, yes, he also directs TV shows for comics like Eddie Can- tor and writes and stages night club acts for Janet Blair, Hilde- garde, etc, “The only thing I haven't done in show business is an aquacade,” said Barstow, who looked as though he were dream- ing up a swimming routine. How did he get started on such a versatile career? “I was the last of seven children and my father died when I was a few weeks old,” he recalled. “We needed the money, so my four sisters and I started an act |when I was 6, We began in ama- teur nights but worked up to-vaude- ville.

Vance, South Bend, Ind., board | chairman and president of the | Studebaker Corp. | He says employment of father- ; son teams cuts labor turnover, ab- | senteeism and tardiness. And he |thinks that a family spirit on the | job makes for better work. Vance doesn’t say so, but such a spirit might even help in getting plant personnel over the hard feel- \ings that a presidential campaign as bitter as the one just ended might engender. Nearly 60 per cent of the 20,000 wage earners of the auto firm Vance heads are members of fami- ly teams. One out of three are members of father-and-son combinations. Or, put another way, the company has 1,606 employes with one or more sons, ranging up to six, working for it. Company records show that fa- thers and sons worked together in the first Studebaker wagon fac- tory. At present there are 60 grand- father-father-son combinations and {12 grandfather + granddaughter | teams.

POINCIANA N* Simenton St. Tet. 108 ee Schools Today Face Serious Diffieulti Cuties Contributed By POINCIANA SCHOOL Our schools today are facing many serious problems. Among th. 2 are: building enough class- rooms for the rapidly increasing enrollments; finding enough quali- fied teachers; providing teachers with professional salaries, satis- factory working conditions, and adequate retirement plans; and providing curriculums and learning equipment to meet the needs, abili- ties, and intcrests of all children. The publie schools belong to all the peoz*-, and the improvement ef schools is an obligation of all citizens. Thru active interest, a study of the facts, plans of a:tion, the people can achieve the kind of education they want for their chil- dren. USEFUL FACTS 1, In “951, 6165 school prvjects to the value of $1,334,623,000 were started. Available data shows that in 1952 school construction will drop about 15 percent. This year 94,000 new classrooms will be need- ed, but only about 5400 will be built and at the cost of $1,104,700,- 000. 2, It is estimated that for the| school year ’51-’52, there is a con- siderable shortage of public school buildings: 30 states reported a shortage of rural secondary schools; 47, a shortage of urban’ elementary schools; and 36, a shortage of urban secondary! schools. Over the nation this is a) slight improvement in the ruralj school-building situation and in the! urban secondary-school situation. With 1956-57 the estimated peak en- rollment year, the shortage of ele- mentary-school buildings is likely to continue for several years.
