National Industry Campaign Aims to Inform Public on Jobs
Thousands of U S industries through the National Industrial Information Committee launched a nationwide information drive. The effort emphasizes that industry can create jobs while workers, investors, and government share solutions to postwar problems. Kansas Governor Schoeppel took the oath of office, received a 19 gun salute, and outlined a wartime program centered on public cooperation and government openness. The Kansas League of Municipalities says 1945 property taxes will fall about 8 percent with lighter state and local costs. Byrnes ordered a deferment review for 18 25 year olds in farming to draft physically fit men, affecting roughly 10 000 in Kansas.
