Balanced Production
Regarded as Chief
WPB Problem
Material Shortages
And transportation
Held Major Worries
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. June 23.-Shortages
of raw materials and lack of trans
portation to get war products to the
fighting fronts fast enough are the
chief worries in Washington in con-
nection with war production. reports
Burnham Finney, editor of Amer
lean Machinist.
The country is rapidly getting
enough plants and equipment. Man
power hasn't yet reached a critical
stage except in certain spots. The
critical test in manpower will come
in the early fall.
THE big problem in Washington
today is balance. Trying to keep
the right balance of production
when operations are on such an
unprecedented scale as they are
now. calls for extraordinary skill"
states Mr.. Finney. There is no point
in having too many fighting planes
and too few guns to man them. Raw
materials must be wisely distributed
Shipping space for finished NUM-
tions must be at the right spot at
the right time, if possible.
Production of machine tools is a
current rate of over 81 ,300, 900 900 a
year. Actual output in 1912 will not
exceed $1,500,0 100000. though that
figure will be supplemented by the
volume of presses, forging machines
and other machinery not strictly
classified as machine tools.
The truth is that the machine
tool industry is probably at the peak
of its wartime load. 1t is unlikely
that the load will get any heavier.
As it is. backlogs are equal to a full
years operations by the entire in
dustry, though obviously business is
not so evenly spread out as it might
be. Builders of so-called critical
tools are booked much farther into
the future than companies making
less essential equipment. On one
point there is little disagreement
the entire industry will be running
at full capacity the remainder OF
this year.
cancellations are twice the volume
tnan they were a few months ago.
out are small in relationship to total
business. Many of them are caused
by buyers switching over their orders
TO companies which can make
earlier deliveries That is a develop
ment welcomed by Washington and
by machine tool builders themselves.
Another reason for increased can
cellations has been the practice of
some war contractors of placing the
same orders with two builders to
protect themselves, and later can
ceiling one of the two"

CHICAGO. June 23.-Dehydrated
butter Is being produced In New lea-
land, trade circles learned today
and the British government has
contracted to purchase up to 10000
tons this season and next.
Information on the product was
contained in the June issue Of the
dairy news letter of the Canadian
Department OF Agriculture. 1t
caused much interest in trade circles
because. as far as is known, no simi-
lar development has taken place In
this country.
The nearest approach to dehy-
drafted butter in America is the So
called Carriers spread developed
by the Army quartermaster depot
In this process, fat is injected into
butter to keen It from melting at
high temperatures.
Butter has not occupied large
place in the lease-lend picture be-
cause of shipping dificulties, includ.
ing space and refrigeration, although
some butter recently was sent te
Russia. Trade circles said they be-
lieved it was stored below water leve
and covered with brine solution tt
keep 1t refrigerated. They said they
had no word concerning the condi-
ton of this butter upon arrival.
1t was seen as a possibility. how
ever, that application of the rapidly
expanding dehydration principle tc
butter would make the product more
valuable to lease lend buyers.
Dehydrated butter as developed lr

land the melted fat and condensed
steam are run into a cylinder which
automatically separates the watel
that settled by gravity from the

After several other steps. the ma
terial is subjected to special tech
nioue of cooling, filled into sterile
cans and sealed.
The dairy news letter said the
product could be used in its dry STATE
by pastry cooks and ice cream man
ufacturers. Conversion back into
butter is achieved by adding salt

Cab Drivers Claim New
BACKING in Strike Threat

Officials of the United Taxicab
Drivers, Inc. claimed growing sup
port Of their threatened taxicab
strike today amid strong indications
that the Public Utilities Commission
will stand by its decision not to re-
consider the new schedule of zones
and rates which goes into effect at
midnight Sunday.
Edward N. Glenn. liaison officer
Of the drivers organization, said re-
ports reaching him indicated that
practically all" cab operators in the
District will 60 out on strike unless
the zoning and rate schedule is re-
vised.
The Utilities Commission has un-
der consideration a second petition,
filed by the United Taxicab Drivers
late yesterday, requesting q rehear-
ing on the new schedule. The Com
mission formally rejected the first
petition and Chairman Gregory
Hankin indicated the request for re-
consideration also would be turned
down.
Meanwhile, there appeared some
doubt whether the Labor Depart
ment Cancellation Service has the
authority to attempt to settle the
dispute. Conciliator Howard COL
vim, who discussed the matter with
officials of the drivers yesterday,
could not be reached for comment
today, but 1t was understood he had
not yet decided whether his depart
ment has jurisdiction.
1t was believed. however, that he
would continue efforts to avert the
threatened strike.

"A D. T.. Candidates
For Commissions in
Army Begin Training
City's First Volunteers
Will Be Sworn In
At Fort Myer

The Districts first IA volunteer
ofIicer candidates, all men with de-
pendents, started on the long trail
toward a commission in the Army
today.
Several Of them had their wives on
hand at local selective service head
quarters in the Wieghtman School
to kiss them goodby when they left
for Fort Myer to be sworn in.
One of the men, 35-year old
Thomas Andrews of 1914 Eleventh
street NV, was sped on his way by
his 6-year -old daughter and his
9-year-old son.
Mr.. Andrews considered himself
lucky. In the lottery held last week
to determine the order in which the
officer candidates would be sent up
for induction. he drew No. l3.
His letter of acceptance as a can
didate arrived on May 13. He is a
member Of Draft Board l3.
Like the other wives, Mrs. Andrews
said she had been able to make
arrangements to tide her and her
little family over until her husband
draws officer pay.
Most of the men have small chill
dren dependent on them, and in the
ordinary course of things probably
would not have been called for Army
service for some months at least.
They will draw privates' pay un-
til they are commissioned. If they
fail either during their basic train
ing course or the officer candidate
course, they have a choice of re-
turning to civilian life as members
of the enlisted reserve to await the
call of their class to service, or of
remaining in the Regular Army
without officer rank.
From Fort Myer they will go to
Camp Lee. Va, and from there will
60 to basic training centers.
Inducted today were Albert H.
Pike, board No. /; Robert D. Dun
can and John A. Latimer, jr., No.
2; Beverly S. Simms, No. 8; John
w. Henderson, No. S; Harold K.
Brown, Stanley M. Folkman, Muir
