like the proposed "Office of War
Mobilization" is superimposed on the
existing structure of war agencies,
there probably will be no majo
shakeup. But the turnover of ex-
ecutives and subexecutives in WPB
recently reached rate of around
so month and probably will grow
rather than diminish for time,
informed officials say.
6. Cracking down on violators

chinery has been built I'D to the
scale needed to get compliance with
its orders. So far $4,000 investiga-
tions turned up $500 cases of vio-
lationS.

they took the form of suspension
orders, which withhold material
from the offending manufacturer or
dealer for a time. These have been
comparatively few, because WPB
doesn't like to put war producer
out of business even for a month
or two.
In virtually all cases, however,
discovery OF the violation and the
threat of punishment have made
the offending businessman promise
to be good.
Compliance will improve, WPB Of

flcials feel, as businessmen get more
familiar with the new rules that
govern their behavior.
7. Concentrating industry: Slow
in coming, concentration of produc-
ton of civilian goods in a few "nu-
cleus" plants in each industry prob
ably will bulk large in 1943.
The theory is this: If an industry
having 10 plants is cut to SO per
cent of it's peacetime output, it is
inefficient to have all 10 factories
producing at half speed. Manpow-
er, electric power, transportation
and materials can be conserved by
concentrating production in four or
five nucleus plants"
Concentration to Continue.
The industries thus far concen-
trated or partly concentrated in
clude typewriters, stoves, farm ma
chinery and bicycles. Next year may
bring the technique to paper, fur
niture, cooking utensils and many
more.
8. Making the goals: "Obiectives'
have never been sacred COWS with
the production planners, for two
reasons: They are deliberately set
impossibly high to spur production;
and. second, they change as the
strategic picture of the war changes.
Already the blueprint for VIC
tory goals set by President Roose-
welt for aircraft and tanks in 1912
have been revised downward In
stead of building $4,000 planes This
year, the aircraft industry will build
a lesser number of planes whose
total striking force on the enemy
will be greater than that of so 900
planes of the type being turned out
IL months ago.
The tank picture is similar. II

became evident that self.propelled
artillery and mobile anti-tank
weapons were fully as important in
a balanced war machine. Well
make less than the $4,000 tanks that
the President called for this year
! but their equivalent in other hard
hitting mobile units will be pro-
duced.
The goal of 100000 deadweight
tons of cargo ships will be met
1t would have been exceeded by
about 100 ships, Admiral Howard

New Plane Goals for 1943.
New, secret aircraft goals for
1943 have been transmitted to Mr.
Nelson by the President. These and
the other 1943 objectives will be
altered, however, whenever the
chiefs of staff feel the production
emphasis should be changed to
weapons better suited to the job
in hand.
So far, much American equipment
has had to be kept in this country
for training: much OF that exported
hasn't had time to reach the combat
areas; and it has had to be spread
! thin over the whole world.
/ With the United Nations taking
! the offensive and choosing their own
theaters of war. the American mass
production technique will be felt
in full and perhaps decisive weight
on the battlefields of 1943.

reports the Ohioans are big and

that the hardest part of our

The Ohio club is the first oppo-
nent in the Tartars' class. But
they have started off to a good
year. So far this season they have
garnered two victories against one
defeat.
