-■i **. A I w i. I a I -‘A (I I mRWWw.mj PAGE SIX Gen. Ulio spoke gloomily of the fu ture prospects in the war with the Japs. “You don’t hear any talk of an easy victory from the soldiers who are fighting the Japs or the military leaders charged with the resppj^i bility of the Pacific war,” he said. “Japan has an Army of between 4, 000,(MM) and 5,000,000 troops, most of whom are being held in reserve to defend the Chinese coast and the Japanese home islands.” Even though we have invaded the Philippines and Iwo Jima, the general pointed out, we still have not met any major mili tary force such as we have been up against in Europe. We have only done enough fighting to know that vic tories in the Pacific will be savage and expensive. Ample Supply Of Munitions Vital? Td Saving Fighters Lives, ’General Emphasizes imprisoned. “After watching hundreds of thous ands of these messages flow through my office,” the General added, “I can not escape the conclusion that the amount of available supplies is one of the most important single factor.* in determining the number of casual ties.” Warns of “Any Faltering”' Saying that on some occasions the Army has been criticized for delays in taking the initiative, Gen. Ulio reiterated the Army’s objective of paying for victories with material rather than lives. “For that reason,” he said, “our whole world strategy has been geared to the speed of our production here at home, and we have set production records amazed the world.” Speaking of present production, “we are at the present critical problems,” he continued. “We are right now at a point when any re laxation of our efforts would have a tragic and immediate effect upon our operations abroad. Any faltering in our output can have only one result prolongation of the war and need less sacrifice of American lives. That is why our procurement schedules for 1945 have been increased 18.9 per cent over what we received during 1944.” Praises I AM Efforts Ending his address, Ulio commend ed the members of International As sociation of Machinists for their tre mendous output of war production and their enviable record in avoiding strikes. Specifically, he paid tribute to their part in building B-29 Super fortresses, B-17 medium bombers, P-38 and the new P-80 fighters, and millions of rounds of artillery and mortar ammunition.

James A. tJlio, Army Adjutant General in charge of the issuance of casualty notices, strongly emphasized the relation between production records at home and casualty lists from overseas, in addressing the New York State Council of the International Association of Machinists, in New York City. The Adjutant General’s office has one of the most heart breaking tasks of war, Gen.

We have no huge stockpiles from which we can draw and our en tire production machinery must be kept rolling at full speed to replace the material we are expending.” wafned, “is victories at amounts of Some items have to be month.

By A. W. JACOB Concentrations Used In Silicosis Prevention After considering various factors, it was decided that the amount of powder to be used for prophylactic purposes should be a fiftieth by weight of that used for therapeutic treatment. Theoretically, this is one gram of powder for each one thous and cubic feet of room content, based on a ten-minute exposure if the lat ter were twenty minutes, the quantity to be dispersed would be halved. Up to the present, a satisfactory method to determine the weight of powder suspended in air has not been adopted. Hence, when it is said that the dispersal is on the basis of one gram of powder per thousand^cubic feet of room volume, the reference is to the weight of powder placed in the blower, not to the weight actually in suspension after dispersal. The dispersal of aluminium powder was tested in chambers ranging in size up to 80,000 cubic feet volume. The basis of dispersal was the pre viously mentioned one gram of pow der per one thousand cubic feet, at a discharge pressure of 40 pounds per square inch. Under actual operating conditions, the following typical re sults were obtained: (a) The concentration of powder in the air eight minutes after dispersal was 30,000 to 35,000 particles per cubic centimeter. (b) The concentration of powder in the air sixty minutes after dispersal had decreased by 40 to 45 per cent.

Showers are least likely to be in operation at this time. Leakage of air into and out of the treatment chamber will dissipate sus pensions of aluminium powder quick ly. It follows, therefore, that all win dows, doors, and ventilators must be kept closed during the hour or so that the powder is being used. In cases where strong natural draughts prevail, when doors are opeqed and closed, air-locks should be provided. Dust engineers know that fans re move, more or less, 10 per cent of tin! dust contained in the air stream. Con sequently, any kind of fans or unit heaters should not be used for the short time that the treatment is in progress. Pressure Necessary For Dispersal A discharge pressure of 20 pounds per square inch, and preferably 35 to 40 pounds, is desirable to disperse aluminium powder by the means earlier described the latter pressure corresponds to about 100 pounds line pressure and assures the most suit able suspensions, both with respect to particle concentration and size. $ $ 5£ I 3£ & ft ft ft 3: A ft ft 3£ $ $ & $ 3£ & $ $ 3£ $ k: & o: & & 3£ ft. 3 ‘V" mV?

Attempts by reactionary groups to break up Unions failed in 16 states and succeeded in one in recent weeks. South Dakota passed the Christian American Association’s phoney biil to outlaw closed shops and hamstring Unions in other ways. The law will be appealed and will undoubtedly be declared unconstitutional. Head of the Christian American Association is Vance Muse, Houston, Texas. When asked what Church he belonged to, he replied, “I don’t belong to any church. I never joined one.” Over a period of four years, Muse has milked $860,0C0 from suckers who have contributed to his campaign against Unions, mim orities, etc. “Do you believe that American gov ernment representatives can usually hold their own in dealing with repre sentatives of foreign governments?” To this question propounded by the American Leadership Panel, Labor answered, Yes 77.4% of those quizzed.

The attorneys held that there was no military necessity to warrant ex elusion by the army, and that the courts and civil law enforcement agencies were adequate to deal with any alleged danger of sabotage or espionage by Japanese Americans or anyone else. Pointing out that no in formation, charges, or hearings were given as the basis for the exclusion orders, the attorneys said that they violated the constitution by depriving the Japanese Americans of their rights and property without “due pro cess of law.” Dr. Ochikubo is $ dentist from Oak land, Calif.
