BY the Associated Press.
Calling for greater production on
the home front, Undersecretary of
War Robert P. Patterson believes
I'VE are not getting all we could out
of our industry.
Measured on a round-the clock
basis, he asserted in an article writ
ten for the Army ana Navy Journal
and released last night, I'VE are still
using less than half Of our produc-
tive capacity"
This is no so per cent war for the
men on the battlefield" Mr.. Patter-
son wrote. 1T cannot be so per
cent war for us at home
I'VE are not overlooking the fact
that 1t is as important to use men
full-time as it Is to use machines,
recognizing always that what con-
stitutes full-time work in the case
of man is very different from full
time work in the case of a machine. ."
Asserting that in some industries
48 hours might be the most fruitful
schedule while in others it might be
So hours, Sc or even longer, Mr..
Patterson added:
I'VE do not want to overtax our
workers; we dare not undertax
them"
The Undersecretary said it was
hoped that present efforts to stim-
ulate the output of strategic raw
materials and the more efficient pro-
gram OF. materials distribution will
do much to overcome the shortages
that have retarded production and
prevented many plants from going
on a three-shift schedule"
