13 Postwar Work Will Require Many Employes Cambridge, Jan. 31-(UP) -For at least two years after the war. American industry will have to employ virtually every available worker to catch up on the production of civilian goods, Harvard Economist Sumner H. Slighter predicted today. Slighter's optimistic postwar arithmetic looks like this: 1.
More than 600 articles, including household appliances such as washing machines and vacuum cleaners, and industrial equipment, have been out of civilian production for almost three years and it is a reasonable assumption that purchases will be double those of 1940. 2. A high proportion of the 000,000 war-married couples have yet to buy their furniture, and this number is likely to be increased by a postwar marriage boom similar to that of 1920. 3. These married couples will require housing facilities, of which there is already an shortage.
4. Americans will have only 000,000 automobiles and will want probably 34,000,000, while the radio shortage will equal two-years' duction at the prewar rate. "These are just a few of the things that the people will want and will have plenty of money to buy," Slichter explained. "During the past four years, individuals have saved, in War Bonds and otherwise, as much as they ordinarily would in 14 years. "Some, if it is true, may hold out for the widely publicized 'dream' products, but I look for most people to spend heavily as soon as goods become available.
This does not mean, though, that buyers will reach for goods at fancy prices." The servicemen won't have to look for jobs, Slichter predicted. "The chances are excellent that plenty of jobs will be waiting for them," he said. "The task of helping them to become established in industry should not be difficult." OBITUARY JAMES BACON Funeral services will be held at 2 p. m. Friday at Hadley Funeral Chapel, Visalia.

rations. Fall of Berlin Won't Mean Nazi Downfall By LOUIS KEEMLE Even the fall of Berlin appears unlikely to end resistance by Germany, as long as Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler retain power. This is the principal deduction to be made from Hitler's rambling 12th anniversary speech, in which he threatened "inglorious death" for Germans who fail to fight to the end. Hitler spoke of "final victory" for Germany, since he could scarcely base his plea on the certainty of defeat, but it was a vague and unconvincing reference which must have sounded hollow to the German people. His appeal was to fear--fear of the hangman and the threadbare bogey of the "Plutocratic-Bolshevist conspiracy." Hitler's speech was a logical sequel to his "no surrender" address on New Year's.
Since then several events have occurred which make clear the desperate course decided upon by the Nazis. One was the sending of Himmler to the front to crack the whip over faltering army officers. It was followed by the execution of the deputy mayor of besieged Breslau as "a -coward devoid of honor," an example which was significantly broadcast to German troops. Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels proclaimed several days ago that the Germans would fight for Berlin, in Berlin, and "behind Berlin." On Monday, Robert Ley, labor front leader, warned in a broadcast that "what is left of Berlin" soon will fall to the Russians. The Nazi leaders thus are unmistakably preparing the people for the loss of the capital, and at the same time trying to insure that its fall will not be taken as a signal to quit fighting.
The Germans are expected to attempt a powerful stand along the line of the Oder, but it is evident that Hitler does not intend it to be the final one, assuming that 1 he still has the voice over the high command. Thus it is probable that the battle of the Oder will not be a fight to the death by the Germans, but that they expect to extricate some of their better divisions to carry on the struggle deeper within the country. The fall of Berlin, especially if it comes within the next few weeks, unless the army and the people have the sense to turn on the leaders who are taking them to destruction.

31- (UP) The Treasury Department today released additional details of its 1944 narcotics prevention work, including the story of how it broke up the old "Black Tony" Parmagini gang in California. The story was told in a report which noted that the opium traffic declined during 1944, the heroin traffic moved on a moderate scale and marihuana became an increasingly serious problem. The operations of narcotics agents against the Parmagini gang were among the most spectacular of the year's work. The gang operated on an international scale, drugs being smuggled into California from Mexico. The investigation started in New York City in May, 1942, when narcotics agents looked into activities of the 107th St.
mob, a gang of hoodlums formerly headed by "Lucky" Luciano, noted vice czar. After several arrests, it was learned that the principal source of opium and heroin was in 1 Mexico and that the New Yorkers were dealing with the remnants of the Parmagini gang in California. A narcotics agent worked himself into the gang and gained the evidence which later brought about the arrest in Chicago of a "runner," Joseph "The Eye" Tocco. He was carrying 622 ounces of opium and eight ounces of heroin. "The Eye" was sentenced to 10 years, and his supplier, Sam Maugeri, Santa Cruz, boardwalk concessionaire, received a 20-year term.
Previously, one of the principal California members of the gang, Charlie "Big Nose" Lagaipa, had been taken for a "ride," and while there were indications he was murdered, his body was never found. Enrique Diarte, notorious smuggler, was found shot to death and with his throat cut last November near Tia Juana, Mexico. His onetime pal, Frank Orbe, another smuggler, is being held.

A cold wave which rolled down from Canada yesterday brought sub-zero weather to Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa and the Dakotas, the federal weather bureau at Chicago reported. Although a slight warming tendency may be experienced today, the weatherman warned that tonight's readings will again dip below zero. In the East, the mercury will hover around the twenties during the day but can be expected to fall within the next 24 hours. However, the cold wave will have decreased in intensity by the time it reaches the Eastern states, the weatherman added.
Near-hale winds and snow flurries accompanied the cold in the Great Lakes region. The national low of 17 degrees below zero was recorded at Rochester, and La 1 Crosse, Wis. Duluth registered temperatures of -11 and Chicago -3. FAMED CORNETIST DIES Long Beach, Jan. Herbert L.
