Army-WPB Conflict
Over War Production
Denied by Patterson
Asserts Nelson Has
Always Had Full
Priority Powers

Undersecretary of War Patterson
declared today that the Army and
the War Production Board, instead
OF being in actual conflict over con-
troll of war production priorities.
are working "harmoniously to-
gether.'
Asked at a press conference to
comment on reported conflict be-
tween War Production Board Chair
man Nelson and 1t. Gen. Brehon
B. Somervell, chief of the Army's
Services of Supply, he said:
Il have been interested in read
ing Of such report in the press,
but very much like Mark Twains
death it is grossly exaggerated"
Mr.. Patterson said the WPB has
always had priority power over pro-
duction. Neither the Army nor
the Navy has ever demanded it.
he added. There is no conflict
between the Army and the War
Production Board In fact. we are
working harmoniously together"
Substitutes for Stimson.
While disclaiming any serious
difficulties between the two agencies,
Mr.. Patterson stressed. however, that
both the Army and Navy naturally
have strong interest in all war
production
Mr.. Patterson, substituting at the
news conference for Secretary of
War Stimson. disclosed a number of
changes in the Army organization,
including transfer Of all functions
Of the Army Transport Service from
the QuartermaSter Corps to the
Ordnance Department.. More than
10000 military and civilian per-
sonnel are involved in the change,
Its main purpose being to give
ordnance officials responsibility over
the increasing number OF combat
vehicles in the field.
1ndorsing in general terms pro-
posals in Congress to increase the
number Of Army cargo planes, Mr..
Patterson declared 1t would be fine
to have more of them, consistent
with the needs of combat"
He cautioned, however, that the
Army cannot afford to overlook
building more water cargo carriers.
He added that he had not as yet
been invited to appear before Con-
gress to give testimony on the plan
evolved by Henry j. Kaiser, Pacific
Coast shipbuilder who would con-
vert shipyards to the construction Of
cargo planes. He indicated his will
ingness to testify If he is invited.
