BPRP is under fire. A substitute
program, generally referred to as
the contract production plan, is
advocated by a number of high mill
itary officials. The Army version,
soon to be tried out in the radio in
dustry, would include in each con-
tract, warrants to obtain materials
when needed. The plan, under
WPB scrutiny, for q year, was or
iginally discarded because of its
power virtually to eliminate civil
ian industry. AS the job Of Army
and Navy Departments is to fight,
they are not unduly concerned with
civilian, industry. Under-Secretary
of War Patterson warns that fur
ther drastic cuts will have to be
made in civilian goods production.
Seriousness of raw material short
ages, as emphasized in resolu-
ton by the WPB labor policy COM

thousand war plants to cut pro-
duction in August and September.

A WEEK OF THE WAR

War Production Chairman Nell
son announced the War Production
Board is rerating every project in
the war program to secure the
maximum impact on the enemy
now" Combat planes, particularly
bombers, are at the top of this new
list, Mr.. Nelson said.
Chairman Nelson reported the
u. S. is now producing munitions
three and half times the rate in
November 1941, the month before
Pearl lHarbor. July production, he
said, was 16 per cent above June
production, but7 per cent short Of
production forecasts made at the
beginning of July, THE big JOB
ahead of us right now Is to bring
our program into balance and make
sure that we use our materials and
facilities as wisely as possible"
he said. This means that we must
redouble our efforts, particularly
on the low spots, If we are to make
our goals by the years end"
Aircraft production increased IL
per cent in July over June output,
Mr.. Nelson said. Although combat
plane production rose 6 per cent, it
was not up to expectations. He also
reported: overall ordnance produc-
tion in July increased 26 per cent
over June output, and was very
close to schedule; production OF
medium tanks was 35 per cent
greater than in the previous month
and considerably ahead Of sched-
ules; light tanks UP Is per cent
also were ahead of schedules; anti
aircraft guns exceeded schedules
by "a wide margin;" merchant
ships were up 6 per cent and near
ly on schedule for the MONTH" de-
liveries of major naval combat
vessels were ahead of those in
June and Considerably ahead of
forecasts"
