Four Main Objectives Set.
The committees report said four
objectives claim the particular at
tention of the War Production
Board.
First and most important, civilian
policy In time of war should seek to
free resources needed for production
of munitions and to obtain their
transfer to war industry. mo con-
sideration ought to limit the magni-
tude of curtailment (of civilian con-
sumption) except the bounds set by
the needs of war industry, the posi-
billvies of transfers and. the mini
mum requirements of civilians them
selves"
Second, protection Of the basic
minimum requirements of civilians.
Bedrock levels of consumption must
not be set so low that any further
curtailment would reduce the pro-
duction of war workers more than
the resources released would in
crease it. The necessity for pro-
tecting bedrock civilian needs must

Stressing need for q strong lead
ership to direct the loose ends of
the civilian economy, the report de-
clared "splintered responsibility
makes for confusion in police and
administration. It makes public
leadership impossible"
Many faults of the war production
program last year were pointed out.
These include lack of a comprehen-
sive set of production objectives;
more than year Of programming
was required to gear production to
needs OF battle; objectives were
translated into appropriation and
contracts in too lavish and careless
fashion; production schedules last
year were unnecessarily optimistic
and misleading: conversion from
peacetime to war was needlessly
delayed.
Current Faults Listed.
1t will be impossible to attain the
high production goals set for this
year, the report stated, unless cur
rent faults are eliminated, such as
looseness Of controls, leakage of
critical resources, reliance on volun-

Restwick Carnes then felt like
giggling, but he dared not, because
Of Choppo's seriousness. Too, he
was afraid that what might
emerge from his mouth would not
be a giggle, but a silly hysterical
cackle instead.
They hurried into sport shirts.
Rusty put on Stacks. Choppo put

stole quietly out Of the Royal. They
did not ring for the elevator. They
walked down the semi-circular

the main doorway, then ran to
Rusty's convertible and headed out
Of the driveway.
Now that they we're outside. they
could see mysterious spirals Of
black smoke rising from the direc-
ton Of Hickam field. Reswick
Carnes' chin became stubborn as
he headed in that direction.
Choppo leaned over and twisted
