improvement in Supply
Of Material Noted in
Dutu for Truman Unit
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

A generally bright picture of
American war production which,
combined with the efforts of our
Allies, is turning out more war
material than our enemies, was
contained today in a report sub
mitted by Chairman Donald M.
Nelson of the War Production
Board to the special Senate Com
mittee Investigating National
Defense.
In review OF WPB activity
since the Truman committee made
public its report in January sharply
criucizing many phases OF the war
effort, Mr.. Nelson said we still have
a reserve supply of war material
to overcome, as Japan and Germany
started building many years before
America. He said he hoped that be-
fore many months have passed we
shall be able to build in sufficient
quantities to overcome that reserve.
Mr.. Nelson described in detail the
supply situation of such materials
as copper, steel, aluminium and rub

mgly difhcult the farther east he
goes.
Observers doubted he would be
able to make any effective use of
Tobruk as a supply port for some
time because of destruction done to
dock facilities by the British garri-
son before it surrendered.
Allied air forces based in the
Egyptian desert-and these now in
clude United States airmen-already
have launched an all-out offensive
against Axis shipping in the Medi-
terranean, with special emphasis on
Tobruk.
Whether the Allies can attain and
hold control of the skies in the
battle for Egypt is a question still
to be decided. 1t was conceded that
Raj losses over Libya were heavy.

losses were heavier. reporting the

Nelson Hints Fences
And Statues May Be
Taken Over for Metal
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Production Chief Nelson told
Congress in his production re-
port today that raw materials
shortages. admittedly due, in
part, to a too little and too
late" policy, eventually might
force the scrapping Of metal
fences, gates, statuary and
other decorative works.
I'VE may find it necessary be-
fore we are through to go we'll

sidered scrap" the war produc-
ton chief said. "A section of
our salvage group has been
working on special projects for
bringing into the scrap market

Der. and said by and large, We are
short to differing degrees Of most
of the all-important raw materials.
That is to say, there are very few
important materials concerning
which Government does not need to
take positive action
Output Never Enough.
His report showed, however, i'm
provement in supply of many ma
terials and greatly increased pro-
duction all along the line. He de-
scribed the need for production as
so great that no matter what We
produce. it is not enough
Mr.. Nelson told of the setting up
of price adjustment boards within
the War and Navy Departments and
Maritime Commission as means of
curtailing profits from war con-
tracts. He was uncertain whether
the boards represent a complete So
luton to the problem of reasonable
profits since they have not operated
long enough to provide evidence one
way or the other.
Concerning war housing Mr.. Nell
son said that before the end OF the
year barracks and dormitories may
be used to a much larger extent than
currently. In that way. he added,
limited materials can provide hous-
ing for more workers than by build
ing individual units. Housing, he
declared, presents one of the more
perpleXing dilemmas" of the war
program.
Noting that the Truman commit
tee had criticized WPB on the
grounds its sights were set too low, d"
Mr.. Nelson pointed out that the
boards sights are now aimed at a
500, 900, 900, 900 program.
H,t Double Production.
An idea of the vastness of the war
program was given by Mr.. Nelson
by saying that the United States
proposes to product this year and
in 1943 for war purposes alone twice
as much in dollar value as was pro-
duced for all purposes in 1929. He
said Sl40000,000. 10000 worth of war
goods will have to be turned out in
the two years, omitting from the
1920 0.0O0.0 100000 war program orders
placed in l941, the amount to be ex-
pended after 1943 and the sum set
aside for soldiers and sailors pay
and subsistence.
Such a program, the WPB chair
man explained. means an average
expenditure of war goods of just
under Sc 900, 100000 month. Right
now war program expenditures are
running $4,000, 100000 a month, in
cluding pay and subsistence, four
times as large as a year ago. To
reach the objective, he said, monthly

which is the site Of June feasts.

Landing Pictures Published.
Toxic newspapers published to-
day the first pictures of Japanese
landings on a sparsely populated
Aleutian island outpost and printed
with them the first detailed Japa-
nese version of the attack. written
by Domei naval correspondent
The occupied island was asknowl-
edged to be only "a barren outpost
of four barrack- line buildings"
One picture showed a Japanese
naval party scanning the scene Of
their landings in preparation for
what was called "the next often

soldiers are advancing across the
Aleutian tundra.
Another picture was Of two beard
