S pecial Courses
To Begin Here
Engineer Training Series
To Open Jan. 12
Meeting the demand for men
trained in technical fields, a new
series of engineering courses will be
opened under the Engineering, Sci-t
ence and Management Defense Train-
ing program Jan. 12 in Detroit, Dear-
born, Royal Oak, Ecorse, Jackson,
Flint and Ann Arbor.
More than 900 engineering em-
ployes received instruction in the
first series held in the fall, and it is.
expected that this second series will
be equally beneficial. A third series
is now being planned and will be
opened in the spring.
A course in Ultra-High Frequency
Techniques under Prof. L. N. Hol-
land of the electrical engineering de-
partment will be offered under the
program the second semester, and
will be open to senior and graduate
electrical engineers, who may take
the course for credit.
Other Ann Arbor courses are De-
scriptive Drawing by Prof. J.GC. Pal-
mer, of the engineering drawing 'de-
partment and Mechanical Drawing
by. Prof. Maurice Eichelberger of the
mechanical drawing, department.
Included in the courses"scheduled
for Detroit, where the majority of the
courses will be presented, are instruc-
tion in welding, engine design, dy-
namics, die castin'g, ordnance inspec-
tion and air conditioning.

Offers Prizes
To Lit Students
A nation-wide debating ,contest
open to all liberal arts undergradu-
ates, offering a first prize of $1,000. a
second prize of $500 and eight prelim-
inary prizes of $50 each has been an-
nounced by the American Economic
Foundation. 295 Madison Ave.. New
York.
"Does Youth Have a Fair Oppor-
tunity Under our American System
of Competitive Enterprise?" will be
the question for debate. Each par-
ticipating college and university will
choose by competitive selection its
representative. Each student chosen
will then file a 500-word brief with a
panel of judges, who will select the
eight best affirmative briefs and the-
eight best negative briefs.
A series of radio debates over local
etations of the National Broadcast-
ing Company will reduce the number
to four, who will present their argu-
ments May 10 over the NBC Blue
Network,

Hobbs To Fly Away
Prof. William H. Hobos of the geol-
ogy department plans to fly'o San-
tiago, Chile, in January to the "First
Pan American Congress of Mining
Engineering and Geology," where he
will represent both the College of En-
gineering of the University and the
Carnegie Endowment for Interna-
tional Peace.

It was just another bright sunny Sunday morning at Pearl Harbor naval base, December 7, shortly be-
fore this picture was taken. Then, of a sudden, came a hail of Japanese bombs and maehine gun fire,
leaving the burning battleship Arizona sinking in the harbor and four other warships destroyed. With the
cry, "Remember Pearl Harbor," America declared herself officially at war with Japan shortly after the sur-
prise raid.
'Time Is Short'- New Army Motto:
r i
DeRtroit Ordnance Office Coordinates
Work Of Major District Industries'

v

By CHARLES THATCHER-
(Special to The Daily)
Detroit, Dec. 18-"Time is short."
So reads a wall banner in the cen-
tral office of the Detroit Ordnance
District, U. S. Army, through which
is coordinated all the work of the
major war industries in this district.
And time is short!.
But when war production in Mich-
igan is reported way ahead of sched-
ule, you can bet that the Detroit
Ordnance District is more than just
a little responsible for it, as that or-
ganization is one of 14 national dis-
tricts currently engaged in the co-
ordination of key war industries so
as to obtain maximum ordnance pro-
duction at minimum cost and time.
1,400 Employed
Already employing more than 1,400
persons throughout the state and oc-
cupying some 42,000 square feet of of-
fice space on four floors of the Na-
tional Bank Building in Detroit alone,
the office is even now getting ready
to take over additional space.
But even greater than the need for
space, according to Capt. Ervin
Greenbaum, of the U. S. Army and
head of the General Service of the
District, "is the need for e~gineers,
ordnance inspectors, accountants and
business administration students."
Because of increased defense pro-
duction' and, more recently, war pro-
duction, the facilities of the office
have been greatly expanded; and this
expansion will continue. a 'long as
the emergency lasts, Captain Green-
baum -stated.
Surveys Maintained.
In time of peace the office is pri-
marily concerhed with maintaining,
through industrial surveys, reliable
records of sources of supply for ord-
nance material when an emergency
arises. And when that emergency does
come, the work of the office is ex-
panded manyfold.'
Adequate and up-to-date technical
data and display samples are avail-
able in the District office in Detroit,
and are of great assistance in the
negotiation and processing of con-
tracts for ordnance material assigned
to the District for procurement.
Not included in the files kept by the'
Planning Division of the Procurement
Service, smaller industries are re-
ferred to the District display room,
where they may study separately the
myriad 'component parts of ordnance
material and decide what they are
capable of producing.
Materials Inspected
The contracting having been ac-
complished'by the Procurement Serv-
ice, the Industrial Service then takes
over, becoming responsible for in-
spection of all ordnance material
procured in the District. A produc-
tion follow-up system insures delivery
in accordance with the schedule.
Comprising the Industrial Service
are the material divisions, sub-divid-
ed into ammunition, artillery, tank
and combat vehicles, small arms, ma-
chine gun and miscellaneous pro-
duction; and the gauge division,

which sees to the accuracy of the
gauges used in ordnance inspection.
Final large branch of the District
is the General Service, under which
operates an Administrative Division,
Fiscal Division, Personnel" Division
and Supply Division. And with the
office continually expanding as the
war continues, this branch is par-
ticularly hard pressed.
Engineers Needed
One of Captain Greenbaum's big-
gest worries for the present is find-
ing eight Senior Engineers, to start
work at $4,600 a year, eight Engineers
at $3,800 a year, 14 Associate Engi-
neers at $3,200 a year and all the
inspectors he can get.
As an added inducement, it was
observed that promotions are made
on the basis of ability only, and there
is absolutely no "time" element in
advancement. If a man proves he
capable of handling additional'
sponsibilities, he will be promoted,
it was revealed.
Graduates On Duty
Already a nest of Michigan gradu-
ates, the office employs 13 reserve
officers on extended active duty and
eight Junior Engineers who have
come from the -University. And it is
hoped that these numbers will be
greatly increased by members of the,
February graduating class.
"We need men," Captain Green-
baum reported. "At present we need
more than we can get, and we'll need:
employes in ever-increasing numbers
until the end of the emergency."
Proof, of the authen~ticity of this
statement lies in the fact that the
office now has three men working
full time interviewing job candidates.
