NATIONAL DEFENSE
EXPANSION PLANS
TOLD BY RETTIE
Work Planned to Stall Un
employment When
Emergency Over
If national defense plans progress
as planned and the present state
of national emergency lasts that
long, in 1944 there will be approxi
mately 23.500.000 civilians working
in defense industry, about 3,500.000
in military services and the national
annual income will amount to
$105,000,000,000.
Such were the figures on national
defense expansion paraded by J. C.
Rettie, acting counsellor of the
National Resources Planning Board,
before the luncheon meet'ng this
noon at the Baranof hotc' of the
National Federation of Federal Em
ployees.
With these figures in mind and
the knowledge that when the de
fense emergency passes there will
be a great let-down in employment,
national planning boards are al
ready at work on solving the pro
blem of keeping these millions of
defense workers employed at the
end of the defense program. Rettie
pointed out.
Legislation is now pending, Rettie
told the Juneau federal employees,
which will give President Roosevelt
a fund to finance surveys of work
projects which may be started at
the end of the defense era
Dr. George Dale, of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs, also addressed the
luncheon meeting, reviewing the
automatic promotion program bill
ior federal employees which has
recently passed both houses of Con
gress. It will substitute a promo
tion policy based upon efficiency
records for the present haphazard
method of promoting Uncle Sam's
workmen, he declared.
