job. (Text of their speeches on

What is to prevent boarding and
panic Misunderstanding will be
senseless, since consumers will have
to declare amount of goods on hand
when rationing starts. Coupons will
be deducted to cover this. OPA can
halt runs by halting buying-which
would work hardship on everyone
How much food will consumer gel? !?
About as much as in normal times
but less than recently. Mr..
Wickard says 80 pounds Of canned
goods per person per year will be
average, compared to 46 pounds dur
ing 1887 -194l period. But this latter
period was one of above-average
consumption.

Italians Reported Taking
Deposits Out OF Banks

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 28-Increasingly
frequent Allied air raids and fear of
invasion from North Africa are caus-
ing the Italian people to make large
scale Withdrawals OF bank deposits.
1T is reported in local financial
circles.
The Financial News said the new
wave Of boarding came at a time
when advanced imitation already
had undermined confidence in the
Ira"
Prices in the Italian black
market have been soaring and the
lira has slumped in neutral coun-
tries" the paper added.
The Italians were said either to be
boarding bank notes or purchasing
land or art treasures.
Unless the Italian people can
break away from Germany. the lira
may be doomed to the same fate
as the German mark in 1925" the

Pocket Veto Kills
Bill Boosting Pay
OF Police, Firemen
President Explains
Three Objectionable
Points in Proposed Law

President Roosevelt announced
today that he is withholding ap-
proval Of the bill raising the pay
of the District Metropolitan Po-
lice, District Fire Department,
park police and White House po-
lice. His action constitutes a
| pocket veto.
Chairman McCarrap of the Sem
ate District Committee promptly
announced he will introduce new
pay bill covering policemen, fremen
! and school teachers as soon as Con-
gresS cOnvenes in January.
Il regret exceedingly the Presi-
dent did not see fit to sign the bill,
which was so justified and merited,"
Senator McCarran said.
Mr.. Roosevelt based his action
on these three grounds:
1.-The bin approved by Congress
proposes a retroactive 10-months
! increase in compensation.
PIT provides that this shall be
a permanent increase and not be
limited to the war or a shorter
| period.
! st creates discrimination
against another large group of en-
ployes, the District school teachers ,
Mr.. Roosevelt reported that he
would not be opposed to legislation
which would remove the above
mentioned objections to the present
bill"
The President explained his action
in memorandum, although since
this is a pocket veto, he was not
required to state his reasons. Since
Congress is not in session, failure
to sign the bill within 10 days is a

November Production
OF War Materials Up
12Pct., Nelson Says
Biggest Gains Made
In Planes, Ordnance
And Merchant Ships


Munitions production in No
vember scored the biggest
monthly gain since the United
States began to rearm in the
summer of 1910, War Production
Chief Donald M. Nelson said to-
day.
Mr.. Nelson reported that Novem-
ber's output of planes, tanks, guns,
ammunition, ships and other NUM-
tions was II per cent greater than
October's, as compared with an in
crease of per cent for October.
Although the percentage increase
was smaller than a 10 per cent gain
scored in April over March, Mr..
Nelson said the absolute gain was
greater in November, because pro-
duction now is in much greater
volume.
November Production.
The box score for November COM
pared with October follows:
Airplanes, up 18 per cent; ord
nance, up 13 per cent; Army and
Navy vessels, up 9 per cent; mer-
chant vessels, up 26 per cent; other
munitions, up per cent.
HNAopu ifnv,,e LoL
most in the type of warfare now
being waged in North Africa are
among those rolling off assembly
lines in greatly increased quanti-
ties Mr.. Nelson said.
The II per cent advance last
month pushed the WPB munitions
production index up 46 points to 431,
compared with 1886 in October.
This means that in November, at
the end of the first full year after
the attack on Pearl Harbor, Ameri-
can plants turned out war materiel
at about 4ls times the quantity in
the month before Pearl Harbor..
I'm the next year we expect to pro-
duce about double the munitions
output of the last IL months, and
total war expenditures in 1943 should
exceed 100000 100000 compared with
$50 1000, 100000 in 1922 Mr.. Nelson
said.
He explained that improvement
was being made in plant utilization
although there is considerable room
for greater improvement"
He added that a few factories
were approaching maximum utiliza-
ton, but that most factories have
not yet scheduled their operations
to more than half the theoretical
limit Of 168 hours a week. Produc-
tive man hours would be increased
by almost one-half, Mr.. Nelson said,
If utilization of all plants were
brought up to the average of those
with the highest.
Mr.. Nelson reported that part Of
the 18 per cent increase in air
planes delivered to the Army and
Navy was due to the fact that a
large number of planes actually
completed in October were not de-
nVered until November.
He reported that production of
one-engine pursuit planes, which
in october made little progress over
September, showed an unusual in
crease in November; Navy fighters
showed marked gains," and output
OF medium bombers and smaller
transport planes '1eaped forward"
From now on deliveries of air
planes should increase considerably
from month to month, as new plants
come into operation and progress is
made in production and materials
scheduling" Mr.. Nelson said.
He added that production of self
propelled guns, particularly useful in
tank warfare, showed exceptional
progress.
