THIS WEEK
IN THE WAR
PRODUCTION—
War Production Chairman Nelson,
speaking in Detroit, said the U. S.
•will hit the “real” peak of its war
production program by next March.
Mr. Nelson said “our ability to pro
duce is much greater than any one
dreamed. The armament objectives
as announcd by President Roosevelt
last winter—and which seemed too
vast at that time—will be readily
realized . . . Our productive capacity
is apparently limited only by the
raw materials available.
“The Engineering Genius of Amer
ican production, when turned from
peace to war, has proved a reservoir
no one could gauge,” Mr. Nelson
said. “When American men and
machines stopped competing with
each other and turned all their
competitive energy and abilities
against Hitler and Hirohito, it knock
ed all previous calculations of our
productive powers into a cocked hat
. . . The real problem now is not one
of production. It is a problem of
a better distribution of the materials
from which war production springs.”
Chairman Nelson said “at all
costs —we must not get into the
frame of mind that this is either an
easy or a short job. If people build
on false hopes of an easy victory or
a short war, then they are certain to
feel let down when the bad days
come, as come they will . . .”
WPB Chairman Nelson announced
a “realignment” of the Board to
permit him to devote his time to
essential allocation policies between
the needs of the armed forces and
the civilian economy.
He said essential civilian needs,
such as those for the communications
and transportation systems, must be
met. The civilian economy, though
“thin,” must be kept healthy, he
said. William L. Batt and James
S. Knowlson were named vice chair
men of the board.
Lou E. Holland, formerly presi
dent of the Double Rotary Sprinkler
Corporation, of Kansas City, Mo.,
was appointed WPB Deputy Chair
man in charge of the smaller war
plants corporation. Chairman Nel
son said the corporation should at
tempt to confine the manufacture of
relatively simple war items to small
er factories, increasing the farming
out of manufacture of bits and
pieces of large corporations which
hold prime contracts, and encourage
conversion of additional small plants
to essential civilian production. The
WPB estimated, however, that 24,-
000 small manufacturers whose an
nual sales three years ago amounted
to .$4,000,000,000, will be forced to
close before October 1 because of
inability to convert to war or essen
tial civilian production.
The WPB said expenditures for
war purposes by U. S. Government
agencies in June were at the average
daily rate of $158,000,000, 6 per
cent higher than in May. Congres
sional war appropriations to date
total more than $225,000,000,000,
the Board said, but the U. S. actually
has spent less than $40,000,000,000.
The WPB Bureau of Finance obtain
ed $62,000,000 in the form of loans
or advances on payments for war
materials for almost 400 manufac
turers in June. During the past
six weeks, the Army Signal Corps
has given final acceptance each day
to more than $2,000,000 worth of
radio and communications equipment
and awarded contracts for SI,OOO,
000,000 worth of additional appa
ratus.
LABOR SUPPLY—
Persons who desire jobs in plants
working on secret or confidential
government contracts will no longei
be required to turn in birth certifi
cates to prove American citizenship,
the War Manpower Commission an
nounced. The WPB labor division
said the aircraft industry will re
quire more than 1,500,000 workers
by the end of 1943.
A total of almost 20 million per
sons will be drawn into war produc
tion and service in the armed forces
during this year and next, the WMC
reported. Consequently, employers
can no longer afford to set arbitrary
age limits or discriminate against
workers because of sex, race or na
tionality, the commission stated. The
WMC said the United Electrical Ra
dio and Machine Workers of Amer
ica (CIO) is conducting a drive in
forty war production plants to en
courage hiring and upgrading of ne
groes and workers in other minority
groups.
RATIONING—
The OPA said about eight million
eastern motorists have received basic
permanent gasoline rationing coupon
books. Congressmen, members of
state and local legislatures and other
government officials will be eligible
for “special rations” for use in legis
lative or official business, and bona
fide political candidates may have
extra rations for travel necessary to
the prosecution of their candidacies,
the .office said. Special rations will
also be issued to travel to obtain
medical service, to demonstrate cars
or boats for sale, to transport equip
ment and personnel of scientific ex
peditions and to operate a vehicle in
tests essential to the war effort.
The office ruled newspaper report
ers and photographers will be eligible
for supplementary rations up to a
quantity to permit 470 miles of oc
cupations driving a month if they
can meet car pooling provisions. In
creased monthly gasoline quotas will
be given stations servicing war
workers. The WPB granted OPA
authority to require filling station
operators to submit coupons or other
evidence that rationing regulations
are being complied with, when gaso
line is delivered to their stations.
The OPA said local rationing
boards may refuse to issue new tires
to eligible motorists if an inspector’s
report shows the purchaser has
abused his old tires. The “bonus”
sugar stamp, number seven in war
ration book No. 1, may be exchanged
for two pounds of sugar until mid
night August 22.
THE WAR FRONT—
Recent far Eastern events indi
cate “The turning point in air opera
tions has been reached and the Jap
anese are now more on the defensive
whereas the American Air Forces
are on the offensive,” U. S. Arrrty
Air Forces Headquarters in China
reported. U. S. submarines within
two days sank or destroyed five
Japanese destroyers in the Aleutians,
the Navy said. The War Department
said American troops are now sta
tioned at Port Moresby, allied base
In New Guinea. The Department al
so announced that U. S. crews, man
ning American-made medium tanks,
knocked out a number of German
tanks in the Battle of Libya in mid-
June without any losses of their own
personnel. General MacArthur re
ported more allied raids on numerous
enemy bases in the Southwest Pacific.
The Navy announced the torpedoing
by Axis submarines of sixteen addi
tional United States merchant ves
sels.
WAR INFORMATION—
Director Elmer Davis of the Office
of War Information issued OWI reg
ulation number stating “the
Federal Government will issue as
promptly as possible all news and
background information essential to
a clear understanding of this Na
tion’s war effort . . . the impact of
war on all phases of American life
will be reported. So will the coop
erative efforts of the Unit.ed Nations.
Only information which would give
aid and comfort to the enemy will be
withheld.” Mr. Davis established
three major branches under himself
and OWI Associate Director M. S.
Eisenhower, with an Assistant Direc
tor for each branch.
Gardner Cowles, Jr., President of
the Des Moines Register and Tribune
and President of Look Magazine, was
placed in charge of Domestic Infor
mation Operations; Robert Sherwood
in charge of Overseas Information
Operations; and Archibald McLeish,
Policy Development.
THE ARMED FORCES—
The Army Specialist Corps, with
190,000 applications for membership,
will enlist more than 11,000 men
during the rest of this year, the War
Department said. WAAC Director
Hobby reported two of the first eight
WAAC companies will consist of ne
gro women, commanded by negro
women, who will attend the first
WAAC Officer Candidate School.
President Roosevelt signed a bill au
thorizing $8,500,000,000 in new na
val warship construction with em
phasis on aircraft carriers. The Ma
rine Corps said it is now promoting
competent non-commissioned officers
in the field to meet needs for addi
tional officers.
Maj. Gen. Frank R. McCoy, Head
of the Military Commission convened
by President Roosevelt to try the
eight German saboteurs landed in
the U. S. by submarine, said the
great volume of evidence to be in
troduced is expected to prolong the
trial. The commission granted per
mission to the Army Signal Corps to
make photographs and silent pictures
of the trial scene in the Justice De
partment building in Washington.
