Nelson Warns Plants
Against Showdown in
Critical War Phase
WPB Officials Point to
Unochieved Goals in
VituI Arms Divisions
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.


Fearing that American industry,
cheered by United Nations successes
in Russia and North Africa, may al
ready be devoting too much atten-
ton to postwar problems, Chair
man Donald M. Nelson of the War
Production Board is understood to
have warned manufacturers not to
relax their efforts at this critical
stage of the war.
Mr.. Nelson is concerned over re-
ports of manufacturers meetings
for discussion Of plans for use after
the war. He is said to have told
some industrialists that the battle
of production has not been won ind
that unless they redouble their ef-
forts victory for the Allies may be
postponed and made much costlier
in blood and treasure.
Some Goals Not Met.
WPB officials declare that while
industry has done fair job in war
production this year in which so
much time was consumed in con-
verting factories from peace to war,
it is highly unlikely that goals set
at the beginning of 1912 will be met
in a number of the most important
categories of munitions. 1t has been
officially said that in aircraft, for
example, production is likely to rise
little above $4,000 planes by the
prociIonf Dnncauo1t'c
goal for 1942 was $4,000 planes.
Planes made this year, however,
have been larger and heavier in
many instances than was planned
earlier.
Mr.. Nelson is understood to have
pointed out to industry that the
country has reached only As per
cent of a total war basis so far as
production is concerned. The fight
to increase this percentage will be
harder from now on as competition
for the country's limited supplies of
materials increases. The WPB chair
man had said that we may expect to
reach our production peak next
summer.
Rumors that the production job
will be made easier with the opening
of a real American offensive in
North Africa also are disturbing to
WPB officials. While the offensive
will give the Government better
line as to the things it is necessary
to produce to assure victory in the
shortest possible time, efforts to in
crease the output of these munitions
must be stepped up greatly. More
ships and planes will be needed as
the offensive moves on. The fact
that the United States will con-
centrate more on offensive weapons
does not mean that the country can
relax its production efforts, spokes-
men say.
Holds Letdown Catastrophe.
Mr.. Nelson feels, it was said that
any letdown in the production drive
now would be catastrophe. october
production, for which figures will be
released shortly, was not particular
ly cheering. War output picked up
noticeably in November, it was under
stood, but officials are afraid that
an over-confident outlook toward the
war will send their production index
sliding down.
Just how far the country is from
peak production, it was stated, is
indicated by the fact that the con-
trolled materials plan for distribut-
ing scarce metals to war industry
was only recently adopted This plan,
designed to place the Nation on a
total war basis so far as raw stuffs
are concerned, will not be placed in
full effect until July of next year.
