This Week in the War

War Production Chairman Nelson said, pending conversion orders, plus those already issued, will virtually halt production of civilian durable goods within the next two months. He said chief current bottlenecks in conversion are machine tool shortages and difficulties in expanding industrial facilities. Chairman Nelson said expenditures for munitions and war construction during March exceeded $2,500 million, with an additional $500 million for pay and subsistence. He reported steel plate shipments in March set an all-time record. In the first seven days of April, he said, 444 labor-management committees reported they had voluntarily organized to roll war production under way in their plants. The War Department announced it will place a liaison officer at each Federal Reserve Bank to expedite the program of arranging government-guaranteed loans for small business in war production. President Roosevelt, acting under the Second War Powers Act, authorized the WPB, War and Navy and Treasury Departments, Maritime Commission and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to inspect war plants and to audit their books. The inspections will aim to avoid waste of government funds and to implement measures which have been undertaken to forestall price increases. The President's Committee on Fair Employment Practice ordered 10 large companies to cease discriminating against workers because of race or religion. * * * HOUSING AND CONSTRUCTION—The WPB prohibited unauthorized construction costing more than $500 except for maintenance and repair, agricultural construction of more than than $1,000, and all other construction costing more than $5,000. The board prohibited sale, purchase, delivery or withdrawal from inventory of any construction material for such purposes. Projects of certain government agencies and those to restore property destroyed by fire or flood were made exempt from the order. Local Federal Housing Administration offices will determine whether construction projects are eligible for recommendation to the WPB. Appeals from decisions of local FHA officers may be made to a board composed of the administrator of the order, a representative of labor and a third member who will represent the end product branch of the WPB within whose jurisdiction the class project would fall. * * * CIVILIAN SUPPLY—The WPB ordered a reduction in gasoline deliveries to filling stations in 17 eastern states, the District of Columbia, Washington and Oregon, effective April 16, from the current four-fifths to two-thirds of the average amounts they received in December, January and February. Petroleum Co-ordinator Ickes said the reduction may remove the necessity for card rationing of gasoline. Mr. Ickes announced the relocation of 1,400 miles of pipelines to increase East Coast oil supplies. The board also prohibited the manufacture of new liquefied petroleum gas equipment. The WPB curtailed radical style changes in women's clothes and ordered manufacturers and dressmakers to eliminate excessive trimming in order to save an estimated 100 million yards of material. The board ordered production of golf clubs halted May 31, and limited amounts of tinplate for canning condensed soups. The board authorized 18,000 freight cars and 300 locomotives in addition to 36,000 freight cars and 926 locomotives previously authorized. It ordered production of 17 passenger tractors halted September 1. * * * RATIONING — The Office of Price Administration postponed the date for rationing typewriters from April 13 to April 20 because some congested areas had not received supplies of application forms and certificates. The OPA also broadened the eligibility base for purchase of new and used machines. The WPB ordered all production of medium and heavy trucks for civilian use discontinued after existing quotas have been completed. The OPA said defense workers may obtain recapped tires for their cars only when no other means of transportation to their jobs is available. The agency said Army and Navy intelligence officers and FBI agents are exempt from regulations requiring sugar quotas for April to mortions to be published of all who get tire purchase certificates. The WPB granted additional sugar quotas for April to more than 40 defense areas whose population had increased 10 per cent or more during the past year. The board also said canners and packers may obtain quota-exempt sugar for the original canning of fruits and vegetables. * * * PRICES — The Labor Department reported the average family food bill advanced 1.5 per cent from February 17 to March 17. The OPA authorized increased prices of one cent on each five pounds of sugar in six New England states to offset increased transportation costs. The agency also authorized motor fuel retailers in 17 Eastern states, Washington, Oregon and the District of Columbia, to charge 3 cents a gallon more than wholesale prices. The office stated uncontrolled inflation would add an additional $100 billion to the nation's war bill. * * * THE WAR FRONT—Numerically superior Japanese troops on Bataan Peninsula finally broke through the lines of approximately 36,000 American and Filipino defenders, weakened as a result of short rations since January 11. Most of the defenders, well supplied with arms and ammunition, were successfully evacuated to Corregidor Island, where they set up a new defense. Corregidor was subjected to continuous bombardment by the Japanese. The Navy reported total naval losses inflicted on the Japanese by American forces from December 7 to April 11 included 23 warships sunk, 13 possibly sunk and 23 damaged, and 53 non-combatant ships sunk, 16 possibly sunk and 15 damaged. The Navy announced the sinking of 15 more United Nations' merchant ships off the Atlantic Coast. Navy Secretary Knox said the inshore patrol has been strengthened, however, and by May 1 damage inflicted by enemy submarines in the Atlantic "will be negligible." * * * NAVY—The Navy said it will train 40,000 men annually in three types of privately-operated schools: Elementary electricity and radio material, visual signaling and radio operators. Twenty-one such schools are scheduled to start classes by June 1, and 13 have already begun to turn out trained men. Secretary Knox said the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard will recruit Negro volunteers for general service in reserve components as soon as a suitable training station is established. The Navy asked the public to use only one of two designated post office addresses in writing the naval personnel outside this country—care of Postmaster, New York, and care of Postmaster, San Francisco, whichever is nearer the addressee. * * * ARMY AND SELECTIVE SERVICE — Army Chief of Staff Marshall and Harry Hopkins to the President Hopkins arrived in London to discuss military strategy with British leaders. Army Ground Forces Commander McNair reported troops being overseas are better trained and better led than in 1917. The Senate passed a $19 billion war appropriation bill carrying funds for equipment for an army of 3,600,000 men. The Army said it plans to commission 250 physicists a month for active duty with the Army Air Forces, and the Army nurse corps is seeking an enrollment of 10,000 nurses by the end of this year. Attorney General Biddle reported there have been 900 convictions for violations of the Selective Service Act since October, 1940, and prison terms up to five years have been imposed. President Roosevelt said he is seriously considering voluntary registration of women between 18 and 65. * * * AIR—Funds for $1,000 airplanes were provided in a $19 billion war appropriation bill passed by the Senate and returned to the House. The Army said it will use 25 per cent of commercial airlines' transport planes to transport military cargoes and personnel. The OCD reported its civil air patrol courier service along the East Coast has released army fliers for more important duties. WPA Commissioner Hunter said WPA workers during 1941 had improved facilities at 261 airports, including 533 completed projects.
