Cotton Texfile
Production As
ATLANTA, Dec. 4 — Cotton
textile production has now reach
ed an exceptionally low level, pos~
ing serious problems for the cotton
te::tile industry, which is Georgia’s
largest private employer, spokes
men here have revealed.
T. M. Forbes, of Atlanta, ex
ecutive vice president of the Cot
ton Manufacturers Association of
(Ceorgia, disclosed that production
has declined from the point where
mills were consuming approxim
ately 45,500 bales of cotton daily
in February of this year to where
they are now using about 34,500
bales, or 22 per cent less a day.
Mill spokesmen placed the blame
sauarely on government controls
which they contend have outlived
any usefulness they may once have
had in this industry and upon the
confusion which arose prior to the
imposition of controls.
Is Understimated
Textlle executives said the
tremendous production capacity of
the industry had been greatly un- |
derstimated, Texile mills have de
monstrated their ability to con
vert almost overnight from a nor- !
mal production to one capable of |
m2eting the maximum defense |
np-2ds and civilian requirements. ’
“his emvhasizes without doubt,
th'ey said, the needlessness of con
trois in this industry, which is
recognized as one of the most high
ly competitive in the nation.
The heavy inventories of textile
goods in the hands of consumers
and on retail shelves is due in lage
part, it was charged, to the rush
buying which occurred when the
government, prior to imposing dir
ect controls, warned of short
ages of civilian goods to come.
Those shortages have not develop
ed in the textile industry.
The result is that mills have
been forced now to impose “sort”
work weeks and some layoffs are
even beginning to occur, Mr. For
bes said.
These questions now arise: If
the confusion stemming from what
is termed unjustifiable govern
ment interference with the normal
operations of the industry is el
iminated and the textile mills are
again permitted to operate nor
mally, will # still be possible to
resume adequate and orderly pro-

duction? Or will the nation once
more be faced with a period of no
white shirts and no bed sheets?
Face Predicament
These questions arise from the
fact that, because of the shorter
work weeks which have been
necessitated, some textile workers
are beginning to eye the lure of
temporary jobs in other industries.
If any large number of employes
are lost to the industry and should
an emergency occur which de
mands maximum texitle produc
tion, the mills might find themse
lives in such a predicament that
|they are unable to meet the re
quirements, it is pointed out.
| Georgia textile men agree with
' John M. Reeves, president of Re
eves Bros., Inc, who said at the
10th anniversary celebration of
Eagle & Phenix Mills at Columbus,
Ga., that domestic controls are
seriously hampering the industry.
Mill men say they know limited
controls in certain vital produc
tion areas are needed in an emer
gency and they want to cooperate
in any program essential in such a
period, But they assert that over
all controls no longer are necessary
in the competitive textile industry
and should be promptly removed
if the industry is to retur nto nor
mal and the employes provided
with full-time work. |
EX-NAZI NOW IN
| ADVERTISING
| COLOGNE, Germany — (AP) —
‘Hans Fritzsche, once one of the
' smoothest Nazi radio propagan
'dists, is now a smoothie in the
advertising business — employing
American methods, including the
icomic book style.
! Fritzsche was one of the lucky
three top Nazis who won acquittal
{ on war crimes charges before the
! International Military Tribunal
at Nuernberg in 1945-46. The
others were diplomat Franz von
Papen and financial wizard Hjal
mar Schacht.
| But Fritzsche was locked up
later by a German denazification
court. He didn‘t waste time in
{ work camp but studied American
!advertising styles in U, S. news
papers in his spare hours. Upon
’his release he went to work in a
| farm founded by his wife and then
| branched out to do work for larger
‘ agencies.
Between 1940 and 1950 the do
| senger-carying railroads increased
' their business about 30 per cent.
Beeween 1940 and 1950 the do
(mestic trunk airlines increased
I their business about 640 per cent.

“YULE"” WISH YOU WERE THEY ON CHRISTMAS EVE—Mr and Mrs. Arthur Kreager of
Cleveland, 0., did it, so why can’t you? Weeks before Christmas, they’ve ticked the last name off
their Christmas shopping- list, bought and wrapped the last present for children and grandchildren.
“No two bows alike,” brags Mrs. Kreager, who started Christmas shopping away back in October.

New Year's resolution to do your next year’s Yule shopping the way the Kreagers did, ©~
Making Toy Soldiers Is A Very
Serious Job, Brooks No Revolf
By SAUL PETT
(For Hal Boyle)
NEW YORK— (AP) For more
than 100 years, the family of
August Wooster has pursued the
same craft without rebellion in the
ranks — unitl now.
Since 1842, the Woosters of Hol
land and New York had devoted
all their talents to making tiny,
highly detailed figurines of sold
iers and historic personalities.
It was an art perfected not only
by the men of the house. wives
and children pitched in, too.
That’s the way it went for four
generations, but the fifth genera
tion is kicking up a fuss.
The Woosters work in a small
westside shop, where they have
more than 1,000,000 miniatures,
no more than three inches high,
made of white metal or carved out
of wood. There on the shelves are
fighting men from the legions of
Alexander the Great to Napoleon’s
fusiliers to Grant’s blues. Also, in
realistic detaii, there are minia
ture likenesses of the great names
of history — from David to Dwight
Eisenhower.
Family Affair
Wooster and his older son, Earl,
who is 20, make the molds. Mrs.
Wooster, a sculptor, makes the
master figure. A second son, Clive,
who is 17, is the painter. He colors
the tiny statues with a brush thin
enough to thread a needle.
“Clive,” said his father, “is the
first good painter we ever had in
the family. Before that we had to
marry someone who could paint,
or hire artists. Clive is a natural,
he has a rare talent. But what
does he want to do?
“He wants to be a fighter. He
wants to box. He wants to ruin
those valuable hands.”
“T just like to fight,” said Clive,
a tall, thin boy. “I get into street
fights but I have never been in the
ring. I want to try, is all.”
- “Well, he won't,” said the elder
Wooster. “We dutch are funny.
j We got a lot of pride. We build up
'a business, we keep it going. We

in the family, there’'s no argument
about what to do. He will paint

| Chief Task
| The Woosters make and sell
some cheaply priced toy soldiers
for children. But their art and
reputation lie in making hand
wrought figures on order for ddult
| collectors. Right now they’re
i working on one of Richard 111 in
his death scene, falling to earth
| with a battle axe in his head. It
| will cost the Hollywood screen
'writer who ordered it S3OO. The
| face of the tiny figure is only two
! millimeters from forehead to chin.
Wooster said the biggest collec
tor he knows of his Doug Fair
banks who, he estimates, has more
than 15,000 rigurines with “many
thousands of dollars. The Fair
banks collection includes examples
of every regiment of the British,
Indian and American armies.
Wooster also has carved $2500
chess sets of ivory. “Most of them,”
he said, “were brought by oil peo
ple from Texas or Oklahoma. From
the way they talk about it, I don’t
think they know anything about
chess.” >
Wooster has had some odd
orders. The State Department re
cently ordered some pike-helmet
ed German soldiers of the first
World War. Wooster has no idea
why.
He displayed an order form a
Southern collector which he said
is typical for that region. It re
quested "SSO worth of confederate
' officers and troops mounted and
on foot and $lO worth of dam
| yankees.”
| A man in Nashville once ordered
| Stonewall Jackson. By mistake,
| Wooster sent him Abe Lincoln.
|The man sent back an.-indignant
protest, said it was a “cheap joke,”
l never ordered another item.

As A Result Of -
Defense Spending
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 — (AP)
— The Nation's Defense Program,
said to be expanding at the rate
of $1,000,000,000 a month, pro
bably will result soon in shortages
of such durable consumer goods as
automobiles and refrigerators.
This picture came recently from
Mobilization Director Charles E.
Wilson and his assistant, Charles
B. Stauffacher.
“In some goods the pinch is
already beginning to be felt,”
Stauffacher said in a radio in
terview. “The present quarter and
the first two quarter of 1952 will
fined us straining our economy to
the utmost. The crucial period
ahead will call for some sacrifices
and forbearance from all of us.”
He predicted military produc
tion will reach a peak within two
years and that thereafter “civilian
production could resume its
normal upward climb.”
Wilson talked with newsmen at
Key West, Fla.,, where he spent
parts of two days briefing Presi
dent Truman on progress of the
defense production program. He
said the President seemed pleased.
He flew back to Washington late
Sunday.
Wilson Replies
Wilson took the occasion to re
ply to recent criticism by the Sen
ate Armed services subcommittee
on preparedness, headed by Sen
ator Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex
as). In a report last week, the
subcommittee said production of
defense items is lagging danger
ously; it recommended that a big
ger bite be taken out of the civil=
ian economy.
Wilson said:
“We have not this year allotted
any appreciable quantities of
material or tools to civilian pro
pduction that we needed or could
have advantageously used for mili
tary production.
“Generally speaking, we are on
the right track in the dual job of
getting current production while
substantially widening the base for
future military production —to
be ready, in case »f emergency, if
we have to go ail out.”
Asked if production is up to
schedule, Wilson replied:
“We're right up to our own
schedules. Of course we are not up
to defense department schedules.
They were just things put down
against the time when they hoped
they could be, done. They were
just hopes.
“The military end items are
coming along abcut as I expected,
and the speedup will come just
about when I expected. The speed
up will come when we get designs
and tooling out of the way.”
‘As did his assistant, Wilson said
“the pinch in civilian production
is getting pretty close now.”
He emphasibed that civilian pro
duction has not been allowed to
interfere with the defense pro
gram, which he said is increasing
at the rate of $1,000,000,000 a

FARM MACHINERY CARE

Machinery should be hoyseq

said. An implement shed will
