KiIgore Doubts Nation
Will Meet Goals for
1943 War Production
West Vireinion Charges
Lack of Coordination
On Home Front
By the Associated Press.

| bS me ASSOClateQ TreSS.
CHICAGO, Feb. Ex-senator Kill
gore, Democrat, of West Virginia
charged yesterday that the war
mobilization program was suffering
from a lack of coordination and
expressed great doubt that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's 1943 production
goals would be met.
Senator Kilgore, sponsor of the
Kilgore-Pepper-Tolan bill for Gre
alton of an Office of War Mobili-
zation, said the Nations war
| agencies were making a sincere
effort to step up production, but
declared there was an utter lack
of coordination between the de-
mands for manpower on the civilian
front and the armed froceSbe-
tween our potential resources and
our present output, between the
manufacture of essential commod-
tiles and materials and their dis
tribution."
In a speech before a war con-
ference of the National Lawyers
Guild, he said
When war was declared, the
President set production goals of
$4,000 planes for 1912 and 125. 900
planes for 1943 These goals were
not careleSSly set. I believe it was
well within the resources of the
United States to accomplish these
goals and that the President made
no error in setting them.
Goals Not Met.
1--WE did not meet the 1912 goals
I think there is little doubt that
we will not meet the 1943 goals.
In fact they have already been
lowered and there is great doubt
that we will reach the reduced goals.
This state of affairs is the result
Of depending on peacetime purchas-
ing methods"
He contended the military gave
prime contracts for the necessary
plane production to the principal
manufacturers of airplanes When
new plants for this production
reached completion. he said, it was
discovered no production plans had
been made for additional component
parts, such as instruments and land
ing gear assemblies.
Under Senator Kilgore's bill, a
director of war mobilization would
be appointed by the President, with
jurisdiction over four ofices-the
Office of Production and Supply, the
Office of Manpower Supply, the
Office of Scientific and Technical
Mobilization and the Office of Eco
nomic Sterilization. Two additional
structures would be provided-a
Committee on Requirements and
Program and a Board of War Mo-
bilization.
Beveridge Plan Hailer.
He contended the structure also
would permit factual determina-
tion OF the largest Army the Nation
could train, transport and supply. He
added:
"The general feeling is that the
military has always asked for too
much. I think the record will sup
port this feeling"
The Guild Committee on Social
Social Legislation hailed the British
Beveridge plan for cradle to the
grave" social security as "a challenge
to us In America to give it and the
problems 1t proposes to solve the
best of our thinking and planning
now" :
The committee recommended that

0,000 persons. Since then a
further reduction has brought the
current figure to 10000 he said.
At the same time, WPA projects
have been terminated in 20 States,
Mr. Field said. He added that
the WPA, ordered by President
Roosevelt to end operations as soon
as possible after February l, has
been coping with the problem of
disposing of about $20,000,000 of
property to other Federal projects.
Mr.. Field said all projects are
to be ended by May l except those
in Puerto Rico, where economic
conditions require their continu-
ance until June 80.

Flyer Who Took 10 Chute
First American in TripoIi
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A pilot who bailed out of his Grip
pied plane after a dogfight appar-
emily was the first United States
soldier to enter Tripoli after the
British took that Libyan base, the
War Department reported today.
1t told the story of the swiftly
moving battle experiences of First
1t. Richard w. Kimball of Min
neapolis:
The series of actions which led
to 1t. Kimball's entry into Tripoli
began with dogfight in which he
shot down German Messerschmitt-
100 on January 20, 1943
"A few minutes later his plane
was riddled by machine gun and
anti-aircraft fire. A bullet pierced
his right shoulder. He bailed out
and landed between the rapidly ad-
vancing British forces and Mar
shall Rommels retreating rear
guards.
After making contact with a
British advance force he made the
final leg of the journey to Tripoli
in an American-made General
Sherman Tank, manned by the
British"

Women Warned
To Quit Homes
For War Jobs

Thousands of additional Detroit
women, women now taking care

seen the inside of factory. must
be employed il. the city's war in
dustries during 1943 to replace
the men VINO will be drafted.
This was the assertion last night
of Montague A. Clark, district
director of the War Manpower
Commission, in a speech before
the Detroit Real Estate Board.
LISTS OTHER REPLACEMENTs
Other requirements, Clark said,
must be drawn from nonessential
industries, from the handicapped,
and from persons hitherto unquali-
fed.
Thousands must remove
themselves or be removed from
nonessential or less essential ac-
tivities into the highly essential
work Of arms production" he
declared.
"And the quicker these trans
fers are made, the quicker will
our boys receive the tools Of
war and finish the job ahead OF
them"
Pointing out that America's
! fighting men must serve every
minute OF the day and every day
OF the week. Clark said;
Nowhere In this vast city
should there be any industry or
essential activity where en-
ployes work fewer than 48 hours
a week"
MAKES SPECIAL APPEAL
He made a special plea that war
Industry employ persons who in
the past were considered unquali-
fed
"The handicapped person, the
older person who has arrived at
the point OF retirement, the well
educated and the less educated
ALL must be accepted into our
industries, guided and trained so
that they may make their best
effort for our war needs"
The vast change IN its industrial
personnel. Clark said. must be met
by Detroit during the coming
year IL the city Is 10 fulfill it's

racy"

This would make a critical

nurses, nurses aides, orderiies
and pOrters..
1--WE find that by adopting the
4S-hOur week, we can fiji all
but 81 of these positions. And.
believe me. that's progress. In
addition, that one department
could still release 80 people to
the war effort because they
could not be used at these other
jobs.
THE city Is missing COM
pletely one important point of
the Presidents 48-hour direc-
tive. The local office of the
VINO has interpreted IL TO mean
that IL il just as important to
fill your own vacancies by
transferring within your own or
