TRAINING OF !
SOLDIERS WILL S
BE AN ASSET
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 3 (by As- .
sociated Press).—Utah does not face jjj
a serious problem in converting war jj
industries—principally because very jjj
few government contracts were ob
tuined in this state due to trans- jj
portation and distance from both the
Atlantic andv Pacific coasts, where Jj
such supplies were needed. g
There have been, according to the Jj
state council of defense, certain gen- jj
eral effects in the state which have g
resulted from the conscious direction Jjj
of the industries of the state from
non-essential production. Many of jlllllll
f V- n jvi o mi fo /itilrino- nlorifa fn unrl if ! mmmm
necessary during the war to manu
facture products, which during pre
war times had'not been in their regu
lar line. This was due to the re
strictions of the war industries board
on the production of non-essentials.
In mOBt cases the manufacture of
these essential products will be con
tinued.
About 4,000 workers went into war
industries from Utah, all of whom
will benefit from the experience and
training obtained in the big industrial
centers, according to deductions by
the defense council. Their return to
Utah, after having skilled training
during the period of the war is con
sidered an asset to the state.
