(More and more the. gentlemen gh Capitol Hill, are cqnyinced ‘these days that the surest foundation . to support jobs. after: the war is a sound} and . virilé industry, ‘encouraged by government rather than being aubject. to unnecessary. regulations controls and restrictions, This growing feeling is summarized.in the latest report of the Senai¢: Special (Truman) Committee, which is investigating the national defense program. It asserts. that private industry should take the lead after the war in providing employment, and that businessmen should be advised in. advence by, the government as to what they. can and cannot do. This makes sense to congress—as do the five steps that the Truman committee is urging the government to take. They are: : 1 Determine the method by which contracts: are to be terminated after the war. 2 Determine’ the advance notice,.which industry can} have’ of the terminations, 3. Determine the metheds ‘for insuring . the early rémoval of gévernment from ‘private plants, so as to make them available for the production of civilian articles. 4 Determine the extent to which the government “will. make or, guarantee loans to provide /business with working eapital. 5 Determine the’ condition upon which the government will lease or ‘sell the plants and facilities which have been constructed for the war effort. No-“tiatter how able Dusines are, the Truman Committee ‘iit out, ‘they. cannot. make plans. that are worthwhile until they know the conditions under which they wiil have to operate.’ So keen is <cnmenesiana rage in contract termination and reslated problems that five other House and Senate groups, in addition to “the Truman Committee are studying the ‘subject. which is so vital to full post war ne ge ena They are the House Mittiary Ae] fairs Committee, the Senate Military Contract Termination Subcommi a Tee Motor vehicle owners of Nevada (City: have only until. midnight Friday, February 4th, to apply . for 1944 registration ,. renewal without payment of stiff penalties. ‘Applications amay be? fitted in person at any“branch office: of the Department: of ‘Motor Vehicles or Call-. fornia.Highway.
