Greatest Handicap

THE greatest handicap TO
mass production OF war goods IL
government inspection.
THE government turns the
war production program over to
industry with orders to put II on
. mass production basis. Then
II goes out into the labor market
and hires thousands of incompe-
tents as inspectors.
"They know little, or nothing
about the inspection Job and are
simply 80 many stumbling blocks
standing In the way.
These inspectors are supposed
to check every step In manufac-
ture, including tooling.
Government inspe ction Of
tooling Il entirely out of order,
except where the tools, gauges
and fixtures are to be used In
government arsenals. We believe
that where private industry
manufactures for the govern
ment. the responsibility for tho
tooling program should rest with
the manufacturer The govern
ment's concern should he only In
the parts produced by the tools"
Miller charged that there is toe
much duplication of inspection
particularly in Murray Corpora
ton, Chrysler. Ford, Briggs and
Hudson. all sub-contractors in air
craft.
