A WEEK OF THE WAR
The U. S. overall output of planes,
tanks, ships, guns and ammunition
during June was nearly three times
that of last November, the month
before Pearl Harbor, War Production
Chairman Nelson reported. Mr. Nel
son stated, however, “too much
boasting about production progress
is altogether premature —the biggest
part of the job is still ahead.” Any
letup now, he said, “would mean
years more of war and hundreds of
thousands more lives.”
Chairman Nelson, as an index of
the nation’s productive effort, esti
mated that approximately 36 per
cent of the U. S.’s record breaking
income during the first six months
of this year went into military chan
nels. This compares, he said, to
the 50 to 75 per cent of total in
come being spent by Great Britain
and Germany.
The War Production Board an
nounced it will concentrate produc
tion of civilian goods in certain
plants and regions as much as possi
ble. The Board said, as a general
rule, small plants will be kept in
civilian production and large plants i
will be required to suspend civilian
production. Civilian production will
be restricted or suspended in re
gions where labor is urgently need
ed in war plants or where power
shortages are likely to occur.
RATIONING—
Price Administrator Henderson re
ported gasoline coupon counterfeit
ers had been peddling bogus ration
books in the East and stated these
‘'saboteurs attacking our war pro
gram” will be prosecuted promptly
and vigorously.
All persons found to be in posses
sion of the counterfeit books, he
said, are liable to have their regu
larly-issued ration books either re
voked or withheld. Because of de
lays in obtaining rationing coupon
books, the OPA said service stations
may sell gasoline on a “Coupon Cred
it” basis until midnight July 31.
The OPA increased tire and tube
quotas for August and said 98,000
bicycles will be made available for
rationing in August as compared
with 45,000 in July. The office said
only trucks engaged in services es
sential to the war effort or public
health and safety will be entitled to
recapped or new tires after July 28
under a drastic revision of the tire
rationing regulations. The OPA
published names and addresses of
field representatives who may be
called upon by tire dealers, recap
pers, truck operators and other users
of tires for aid in solving problems
arising under the rationing regula
tions.
MAXIMUM PRICES AND RENTS—
Price Administrator Henderson re
ported “Government controls of
prices and rents, where they are in
effect, are doing a good job of hold
ing down prices, but uncontrolled
food prices are showing a definite
inflationary tendency.” He said
“the total cost of food to city fam
ilies advanced by 1.3 per cent be
ween May 15 and June 15, contin
uing the steady upward price trend
of the previous 14 months and off
setting the benefits of price control
on all foodstuffs covered by the
general regulation.”
Mr. Henderson said housewives
and other members of the buying
public will acquire the legal right,
beginning July 31, to bring civil
suits for damages against any store
keeper who charges more than OPA
regulations permit. The purchaser
is entitled to recover SSO in dam
ages plus attorney’s fees or triple
the amount of the overcharge plus
attorney’s fees, whichever is larger.
(Similar suits may be filed in de
fense rental areas against landlords
who collect rents above those per
mitted by OPA orders. The office
reported it has designated 370 areas
as defense rental areas and by Aug
ust 1 rent regulations will become
effective in 94 of these areas.
Agriculture Secretary Wickard
announced a price adjustment and
subsidy program designed to ease
the temporary shortage of meats in
Eastern States and some parts of
the mid-West. The OPA asked live
stock and meat packing industries
to maintain a supply of meats in ail
normal trade channels rather than
concentrate shipments to large cit
ies where ceiling prices are relative
ly high.
THE WAR FRONT—
The Navy reported U. S. subma
rines in far Eastern waters have
sunk another Japanese Destroyer,
a medium-sized tanker, three cargo
ships, and possibly a fourth cargo
ship. The Navy said all of its large
submarines are being fitted with
cameras designed to fit over the eye
piece of the periscope to record the
results of submarine attacks on the
enemy. Maj. Geu. Lewis H. Brere
ton, Commander of the Air Forces
in the Middle East, said American
Air Forces caused heavy damage to
enemy docks and port installations
at Tobruk, Benghazi, Suda Bay and
Crete.
President Roosevelt said Admiral
William D. Leahy, former U. S.
Ambassador to Vichy, France, has
been called back to active duty to
serve as chief of staff to him as
Commander in Chief of the Armed
Forces. Gen. MacArthur reported
from Australia that the new 2,500-
man Japanese invasion force landed
in the Buna-Ambasi-Gona area in
new Guinea on July 22 has been
subjected to such damaging raids
that few, if any, Japanese ships are
left in the vicinity of the invasion.
The Navy announced 17 more Unit
ed Nations merchant vessels have
been lost to enemy submarines.
ARMY—
The nine army corps areas were
reorganized and renamed ‘‘Service
i Commands.” The reorganization will
further decentralize the operation of
Services of Supply activity and elim
inate duplicating facilities. War Sec
retary Stimson said 28,000 jaundice
cases developed among army person
nel in the U. S. and abroad 'between
January 1 and July 4, apparently
due to the use of yellow fever vac
cine. Sixty-two deaths resulted.
“There has been a change in the
form of yellow fever vaccine nOw
used which the Surgeon General
thinks will eliminate the whole trou
ble,” Mr. Stimson said. Director
Hobby of the Women’s Army Aux
iliary Corps said 20 companies of 150
women each will be trained by the
end of this year and 25,000 women
will be trained by April, 1943.
TAXATION AND PROFITS—
The House passed and sent to the
Senate the War Revenue Bill, esti
mated to yield about $6,300 million,
providing a 45 per cent normal and
surtax income rate on corporations
and a 90 per cent excess profits
tax. Treasury Secretary Morgen
thau, however, said a tax program
of less than $8,700 million of addi
tional revenue would be inadequate.
He recommended removal of these
“special privileges:” tax exemption
for state and municipal securities,
exemption from taxation of 27 1-2
per cent of income from oil wells
and mines, and separate income tax
returns by married couples.
The House Naval Affairs commit
tee, after investigating 40,000 con
tracts, said “95 per eent of the war
contractors are doing an honest and
effective job and receiving only fair
and reasonable profits,” the average
being 8 per cent.
SCRAP SALVAGE CAMPAIGNS”-
President Roosevelt reported the
recent scrap rubber collection drive
added 454,000 tons to the govern
ment’s stockpile—exclusive of rub
ber in small piles still at service
stations and junk dealers. WPB
Chairman Nelson asked state and
local governments to lend their
trucks and workers to local salvage
committees to help transport scrap
material collections before winter
sets in. To keep steel furnaces go
ing at full capacity, more than 750,-
000 freight cars will be required
to carry scrap iron and steel, most
of which must be moved by trucks
to rail points.
The W’PB extended the tin can
salvage program to 104 cities in ad
dition to 36 metropolitan areas pre
viously announced, because de-tin
ning plant capacity requirements
have been increased from 250,000 to
400,000 tons. The Board said the
government will requisition from
junk dealers all useless automobiles
—those that cannot be repaired on a
practical basis—to maintain the
present peak movement of automo
bile scap to mills. On the basis of a
questionnaire to 350 firms, the Board
■estimated 100 million pounds of es
sential chemicals could be realized
in the next 18 months if manufac
turers of war equipment began now
to recover wasted spray paints.
