Senator Downey, Democrat OF
California, proposed today that the
Senate lay aside the Wheeler bill to
halt the drafting of pre-war fathers

which he has been challenging in a

The proposal was rejected when
Majority Leader Barkley objected.
On his motion, it went to the Mill

Six Questions Posed
The Californian, who contends
military leaders could knock Ger
many out from the air quickly with
out large land invasions, asked in
the resolution that the Senate Mill
tary and Naval committees seek i'm
mediately answers to the following
question:
"1. What is the present and po-

Allied and Axis nations?
-. To what extent does the con-

War Production Vital
Now, Nelson Declares
Superhumon Effort Urged
To Save Lives of Troops

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, Sept. 30-War Produc-
ton Chief Nelson said today that
the next few months would be
critical in Allied production for
fashioning killing blow at the
enemy.
Expressing his views at a press
conference following the first Lon
don meeting of the Combined Pro-
duction and Resources Board of the
United States, Britain and Canada,
he said superhuman effort was
necessary by labor and management
to save the lives of troops.
IF any one lesson has been driven
home to me in Great Britain" Mr.
Nelson told newsmen, "it is that the
more we produce the more lives we
save. We need more landing craft,
more planes, more vehicles"
Changes in strategy and actual ex-
many changes in American produc-
ton that more contracts have been
Cancelled already than we're Cancelled
after the last war, he disclosed.
Mr.. Nelson said Allied producers
now were making railway rolling
stock to take into Europe and added
that in the United States enough

essential purposes"

The Secretary said he believed this
situation would continue to grow
worse until the operators and miners
have signed contract All things
considered, he said, the miners have
done "a damned good job" but that
they cannot produce at their maxi
mum capacity while the uncertainty
of working without an agreement
exists.
Fuel oil stocks, Mr.. Ickes revealed,
were better now than they were
week ago, but were still substantially
under those on hand at the same
time year ago. He pointed out that
although oil shipments to the East
have been improving, a barrel of
crude oil yields SO per cent less gaso-
line and slightly less residual oil
than it did a year ago because of
the shift to the production of other
petroleum y-products, such as
high-octane gasoline.
