WASHINGTON. Nov. s-Fuei
and war production headlined the
news in the field of the War Pro-
duction Board last week.
Steel production was off several
hundred thousands of tons be-
cause Of the nationwide coal
strike. Early in the week scores
of furnaces were shut down IN
the Birmingham area-one of the
first affected. AS a result OF the
coal strike northern steel mills,
unable to smelt iron ore. dipped
deeper into their scrap iron and
steel reserves.
On the other hand. WPB's Oc-
tober report showed a definite
upSwing in the production of fight
ing airplaneS. Total output was
1852, a new high that indicated
a sharp rise from the three
months plateau and showed
that the nations plant was ready
ing itself TO meet the Presidents
challenge of 100000 planes a year.
The net gain in October over Sep
tember was 10 per cent, attributed
largely TO increased labor produce
tivity.

As director of several rail-

than ordinary interest in trans

an hour watching the flow Of
people in the bus terminal.

No requirements

The answer to all this Is
abvious. The problem IL one
which can be solved only with
the help Of the American public.
Tires simply must be conserved
and made to last longer or we'll
have breakdown in, trans
portatiou which will slow up
the war effort, jeopardize pro-
duction. interfere seriously with
distribution and throw our
whole automobile economy out
OF gear. That Is why the tire
industry as a public duty Is en-
barking upon an intensive cam
paign To promote widespread
tire conservation.
THE reasons for the present
tire shortage are simple. We've
had two years Of tires wearing
our without requirements. In
ventories have shrunk. The
military services have taken
enormous quantities of rubber
of all kinds including tires.

Investment in War
Plants Near 20 Billion
Government and Privote
Industry Co-operoted
Nv the Associated Press

6S the Associated Press.
The investment of Government
and private industry in war plants
and equipment reached s19,339.-
600 900 March 81. the War Produc-
ton Board reported yesterday, with
the Government carrying $l5,l40,-
100000 of the cost.
The investment virtually COM
pletes the job of equipping the
country for arms production as far
as financial commitments 60, WPB
said. Hereafter plant expansions
will be mainly those necessitated by
changes in the military program
or types of weapons, and new equip
ment needed to maintain produc-
ton facilities at capacity opera
ton.
Guns. smmunitions, explosives
and other ordnance were the big
gest part of the outlay, calling for
construction of factories worth near
ly s5.000,000,000. Less than 5 per
cent of this was done privately.
The next largest grouping was
aircraft. aircraft engines, parts and
accessories for which s3.327 900 900
has been committed. Seven per cent
was done with private moneys.
Ship construction and repair fa-
cilities amounting to S2,086 900 900
were built or are being built. Five
per cent of the funds are from pri-
vate sources
The greatest proportion of pri-
vate financing was in non manu-
featuring facilities such as power
lines, mining and transportation.
Eighty per cent of the S1,726,0OO 900
approved for these purposes was
privately financed.

Poisoning at Circus
Is Believed Due 10
Chicken Salad
All but One Of Victims
Recover ond Are Able
To Leave With Show

Chicken salad seryed TO circus
employees Friday evening was sus-
pected yesterday by the Health De-
partment rs being the cause of the
illness that struck ITS circus workers,
requiring hospital treatment for all
but about IS.
This tentative finding brought
from Health Officer Rutland a gen.
eral warning against preparing salad
long before they are to be eaten.
DR. Rutland also said it is danger
Gus for a person with an infected
finer or sore throat to prepare toOds,
especially salads. because bacteria
NAV cause an outbreak of poisoning
In the case OF the circus en-
ployeS, the Health Department
said, the evidence indicated that an
entero.toxin developed in the chick
Ell salad and caused illness about
four hours after the meal.
All patients were recovered yes
terday, and by 9 o'clock last night
when the circus was preparing to
leave town, all but one had been
discharged from the hospital. Frank
Mills, 81, said to have been a waiter
in the restaurant en- the circus
grounds where the poisonings oc-
CURED, still was under treatment
at Casualty Hospital Authorities
said he probably would be well
enough to leave by today.
The Health Department said the
suspected toxin usually developed in
foods contaminated by the staphylo-
coccus germ during preparation
Warm weather, it was said. and fail
ure to keep the food adequately
refrigerated would speed the growth
OF bacteria and production of the
toxin.
DR.. Rutland said the outbreak
appeared to be of the same sort that
occurred in some Washington res
taurantS last fall.
