War workers' ideas. Jury votes on war workers' ideas that save man-hours and critical materials. More than 400,000 suggestions to speed war production have been submitted to suggestion committees in war plants, and the outstanding ones tested and sent through more than 2,000 War Production Drive labor-management committees to the above Board for Individual Awards at War Production Drive headquarters in Washington. All ideas recognized by awards are made available to all American war plants and interested United Nations through the system of plow-back into industry as a further benefit to war production. The Board for Individual Awards, composed of engineers and technical experts who contribute their time to evaluating production ideas, is shown at a Washington session. Left to right: Charles B. Francis, Carnegie, Illinois Steel Corporation; Dr. J.L. Bray, Purdue University; Paul H. Stanley, Pitcairn Auto-Gyro Company; L.A. Poole of War Production Drive's Awards Field Operations Branch; Whiting Williams of Cleveland, Ohio; James B. Gent, United Steel Workers (USW) and William P. Hill, Bethlehem Steel
