Conversion. Floor waxer plant. Formerly producing floor waxing and polishing machines, this small Eastern factory is now one of the America's myriad plants devoted to production of small machine parts for war purposes. Foreseeing possibilities of shortage of aluminum (necessary for polishing equipment), this factory's owner sought defense subcontracts many months ago, he is now operating twenty-two hours a day with a crew of thirty workers, a distinct improvement over his previous eight hours, three-worker days.

President discusses power pool, Washington, D.C., Sept. 30. President Roosevelt discussed the question of pooling private and public electric power with private and government power experts at the White House today. After a conference that lasted most of the afternoon Frank R. McNinch, Chairman, Federal Power Commission, and Wendell L. Wilkie, President of Commonwealth and Southern Corporation, emerged from the President's office to state that President Roosevelt had agreed to consider pooling Government hydroelectric projects and private power facilities in the TVA area. The president's decision will not only mean an exchange between the Tennessee Valley Authority and private utilities of the Southeast but touch possibilities for Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River and other public works projects.

Francis Biddle, until today (Friday) Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, is seen here as he was about to enter the White House for a conference with Pres. Roosevelt. Following the visit it was announced that Biddle had formally submitted his resignation on the N.I.R. Board. The N.I.R.B. will itself go out of existence next month. Personal reasons, and a desire to return to the practice of law were given as cause for the retirement. Biddle's name has lately been linked with new possibilities of appointment, perhaps to foreign service, 7/5/35
