Ewing's Attorneys File
Motion for New Trial

Contending that a number of
errors were committed during the
course of his trial, Orman w. Ewing,
former Democratic national COM
mitteeman from Utah, this after
noon asked District Court to set
aside the recent verdict finding him
guilty of criminal assault on 20
year-old Government worker and
grant him new trial.
Through Attorneys H. L. McCor-
mick, Charles Henry Smith and
Roy S. Parsons, Mr.. Ewing claimed
in his motion that the verdict is
contrary to law, that it is contrary
to the weight of evidence, that it
ignored the instructions of the court,
that the jury failed to follow the
courts instructions, that directed
verdict of acquittal should have
been granted him, that the evidence
showed passive acquiesence on the
part of the complainant, that prom
ised competent medical testimony
was never introduced and that the
Government was guilty of prejudi-
cial conduct in its preliminary ex-
animation of prospective jurors, es-
pecially regarding questions as to
whether any of them had connec-
tions with a detective agency, thus
adversely affecting the defendant.
Justice James w. Morris, who pre-.
sided at Ewings trial, will likely
hear oral arguments on the motion
for a new trial week from to-
morrow.

Earlier Rubber Story on Page A-21.)
Chairman Truman of the Senate
Defense Investigating Committee
announced today that public hear
ingS concerning the rubber supply
would open next Thursday with
Leon Henderson. price administra-
tor, as first witness.
Mr.. Henderson, Senator Truman
said, will testify on "the extent to
which rubber will be made avail
able for non military uses, and the
steps which he will take to appor-
tion it fairly"
A special subcommittee which has
been conducting closed hearings on
the subject, he said, will continue
it's study of rubber questions, par
ticularly stockpile and synthetic
rubber and matters relating thereto
such as rubber patents"
There is no subject more impor-
tant than rubber" Senator Truman
said, "and none which more directly
concerns the man in the street.
Most people do not fully realize
the seriousness of the rubber situa-
ton. If they did, they would GER
tainly drive less than they do and
take better care of their tires.
THE committee is not satisfied
that adequate steps were taken to
meet the rubber situation and Is
making a detailed study to make
sure that adequate and practicable
steps are taken to assure the largest
possible supply of rubber as soon as
possible"

Output Of Aluminium
To Be Increased by
$4,000 Tons Yearly
Proerom to Exceed
Anything Axis con Hope
For, Bott Declares

BY the Associated Press.
The War Production Board today
announced . two-way program to
increase United States aluminium
production $4,000, 900, pounds an
nually and nearly double present
production goals for magnesium.
The aluminium program. estimated
to cost $3.50, 900 900, was found nee
essary to meet President Roose-
Jelt's victory" requirements Of co.
600 fighting planes this year and
125 900 in l943. william L. Bait,
w. P. B. materials director, told
press conference.
Doubling Of Output.
The projected magnesium and
aluminium programs, when COM
pleted, will be far beyond the reach
of anything the Axis powers can
hope to produce" Mr.. Bait de-
clared, adding that mo computa-
ton of anything the enemy nations
can do in aluminium even ap-
proaches it."
A major factor in the aluminium
situation is the Governments plan
to approximately double its imports
Of primary aluminium from Canada
to a total of 450, 0,000, 900 pounds a
year. The r. F. C. Metals Reserve
Co. already has increased its Cana
dian commitments, Mr.. Bait said,
to reach this figure.
The aluminium program represents
an approximate doubling of the
pre-war aluminium industry, to give
a production rate of 2,l00, 900 900
pounds annually In this country.
Not Just Paper Program.
1t calls for an expansion just
double the size of the original ex-
pansion goal.
Mr.. Bait said the Government
hoped that the peak production now
contemplated could be reached early
in 1943.
He added that the initial expan-
sion program was we'll along and
was expected to reach the full pro-
duction rate by the end of 1912
Surveys for power requirements and
possible plant locations already have
been made and contracts let for

War Victory Sooner
Than Public Suspects

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-The Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
announced today reorganization OF
its war production effort, under the
Craftsmanship of a new committee
headed by Malcolm Muir, publisher
of News Week.
At the same time William P.
Witherow, president of the assocla-
ton, in a statement following a
meeting of the directors devoted to
speeding war production effort, pre-
dicted war production by Decem-
Der l would exceed by rs Per cent
the totals of year previous.
you can tell the housewives, the
corner grocers and every kid on the
streets, for me, that they will hear
yooner than they think that we have
beaten the pants off the Axis" Mr..
WitheroW said.
with the combination of millions
of patriotic workmen and managers
and thousands of unmatched factory
machines, our soldiers and sailors,
aviators and marines will get the
goods to do the job"
The new committee, Mr.. Witherow
said, will include in its membership
leading industrialists qualified by
long and specialized experience to
deal with the problems of war pro-
duction.
This new committee" he added,
"will be charged with the respon-
sibility of analyzing problems as
they arise, guiding management in
some cases and cooperating with
Government in others to the single
end that production of war mate
rials will be uninterrupted.
"The association is sponsoring a
detailed plan to push and increase
subcontracting as fast as qualified
subcontractors with adaptable facil-
ties are available.
Industry has but one test for
every move, every policy. every act
Of management-will it win the war?
Nothing else counts.
by July the flood OF war ma
terials from our plants will con-
found the Axis and astound even
those Americans who have long
known and respected the 'know-how
of American industrial manage
ment; war output by DECEMBER l
will be rs per cent ahead Of the
same period last year."
