SAVES GAS, RUBBER

The program also saves gasoline
and rubber, since the number Of
workers driving great distances is
reduced. Proposal for the move is
said TO come from Henry Ford
himself.
It is not the purpose of the plan
to transfer workers now engaged
at Willow Run TO other plants,
.officlals said. The more manpoWer
that can be relieved from strictly
manufacturing processes, they
said. will make that much more
Imanpower available for assembly
,of finished planes.
Moving of machinery, so far, il
is said, has not been necessary
because of the types of the jobs
involved Manufacture was as
signed to plants in accordance
with their facilities. Any ma
Ichinery left idle by conversion will
be allocated TO other requirements
in the bomber plant.
AID TO HOUSING
Housing officials view the proc
iess as a direct aid to the problems
facing the workers around the
plant Company officials have con-
tended that the housing problem
had been greatly over-emphasized
and that the new method of han
ding the various manufacturing
Jobs might prevent a serious hous-
ing shortage.
The company has constantly
commended that the major prob
lens at Willow Run is the reten-
tion of trained personnel. So far.
it is said. the Ford School at the
plant has trained more than 49,
900 workers, of which more than
1000 have been lost, mostly
through the draft.
Officials have insisted that ado
quate transportation would have
to be made available to bomber
plant workers.
