Truman Says Nelson
Should Use Powers
TO Speed Output
Ship and PIone Building
Still Are Below Capacity,
Senate Prober Asserts

By the Associated Press
CLEVELAND, April 6.-Pro-
duction Chief Donald M. Nelson
should exercise all the powers
delegated him to assure capacity
output for war, Senator Truman,
Democrat, of Missouri declared
today.
The chairman of the special SEN
ate committee investigating the war
program made this statement in
discussing the groups recent report
that one weakness has been the
Governments hesitancy to adopt
unpopular or unpleasant policies, long
after the facts clearly indicated the
necessity.
Firm Actions Needed.
What is needed is more OF such
firm actions as the imitation control
policies of Sterilization Director
James F.. Byrnes, which have been
maintained so far in the face OF
opposition from powerful groups"
he told the Cleveland Chamber of
! Commerce.
cessful operation by the War Pro-
duction Board also calls for a strong
| directing head. Mr. Nelson has wide
authority vested in him by the Pres
ident and should exercise the powers
delegated to him
For instance, though we are pro-
duclng airplanes in very large guam
tity. we are not producing to ca
! pacity because there are First,
frequent changes of Army and Navy
specifications: second, difficulties in
getting materials at the right times
| in the right amounts; third, lack OF
trained foremen, supervisors and
skilled workmen."
Navy Building Program Hit.
Neither has the Navy's building
program reached capacity, he added,
asserting for long time the Navy
paid too much attention to large
and more complicated vessels" in
stead of escort vessels to protect
merchant ships. Progress now is be-
ing made in this direction and IN
| the expansion of facilities for pro-
! duction of basic raw materials, he
| said.
! Senator Truman declared the
weaknesses and mistakes which
have slowed our war effort during
the past year could have been rec
ognized and corrected earlier" but
that some confusion and some mis-
takes are certain to result when
Government necessarily expands its
! functions.

Immediately. and the controversial
issue of whether to rebate or not to

There is no quarrel between op-

The Louisiana Representative was
the first Democrat to take the floor
in opposition to the tax bill offered

If the withholding tax does not

War Output
an Army Job
Peterson Insists
on Army Control

WASHINGTON, Jan. S Up
- Production of military equip
ment is a job that only the Ar
my can plan, and therefore only
the Army should control, Under
secretary of War Robert p. Pat
terson said today.
Nobody else knows what we
need he said in an interview,
land nobody else is competent
to place the orders. supervise
the production, make the in
spections, accept deliveries.
The whole matter of mill
tary production is a continuous
flow, from the strategic plan at
the very beginning to the main
tenance, repair and salvage in
the field. AS a continuous flow,
it should be under a single con-
troll.
Added TO that is the very
practical argument that the pres
ent syste is working, and
working extremely well. Why
change it in the middle of q
war?
The Army has never had
any intention or any desire to
control the civilian economy. To
begin with, we couldn't do it. We
don't know as much about it as
the civilians who are running
it, whose job it is to run it.
In the second place, we are
one of the claimants, not the
sole claimant. Enough has got to
be saved out of the entire pro-
gram for the raj 70 d S, the
mines, the other essential civil
ian activities, and there must be
some impartial agency TO make
the decision between us"
Commenting that other coun-
tries, n o a b ly Great Britain,
have a system of dual control,
with a Ministry of Supply which
procures equipment and deliv-
ers it to the armed forces, Pat
terson said such system might
have been needed here If the
armed forces had been incompe-
tent"

Allies Ready to

ALLIED HEADQUART E r S
IN AUSTRALIA, Jan. 5-(R--
An attack to clean the Mikado's
men out of Sananada Point. their

Medium bombers roared in at
low attitudes and dropped 300
Founders on Japanese machine

enemy positions. Fires were
started in the Japanese-held
positions.
Front-line dispatches also said

Say Germany
Has PIundered
Occupied Lands

LONDON, Jan. Up The
Netherlands government in ex-
lie here issued a memorandum
today in connection with the
allied declaration on property
rights in occupied countries, as
serting that Germany lever
since the beginning of the &C.
cupation has robbed and plumb
ered' the Netherlands.
The form applied by the Ger
mans in the Netherlands most
openly is that of simply con-
fiscating the property of public
bodies, members of the royal
family, persons who are con-
sidered to promote the allied
cause or are friendly toward it,
Jews and many more" said the
memorandum, distributed by
Aneta, Netherlands and Neither
lands Indies news agency.
Sometimes. it was stated, the
Germans would acquire prop
erty they desired by forced sale,
as in the case of private art col
lections or a Jewish business
concerns.
"In many cases, however" the
memorandum said, 1.-THE enemy
chooses the form of seemingly
legal transactions such as, for
instance, the purchase of bonds
on the stock exchange, of paint
ings at auction and countless
other voluntary purchase trans
actions. The latter methods Of
acquiring property in point of
fact are also robbery. For the
enemy forces the occupied coun-
try to make the necessary means
available to enable him to make
these purchases, either by add
ing to the occupation charges or
by credit provided by the So
called purchase of guilders with
marks"
The Netherlands memorandum
asserted that the Germans did
considerable footing during the
last war, but "in this war Ger
many has been able to get a
much bigger haul - ="
I'VE must be reconciled to the
fact that Germany's axis part
ner. Japan, will apply similar
system Of looting to the Neither
lands East Indies" the statement
said.

Furniture Curb
|Spreditied
Foreses But Few
Nucleus PIonts'

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Jan.
5 -(R)- Designation of a few
nucleus plants" for limited pro-
duction of civilian furniture and
widespread conversion of the ia
cilities of those remaining to
war work, was predicted today
by the president of a survey
agency which serves the indus
try.
Describing the development
he foresees as a concentration
of production program" Frank
E. Seidman, head of Seidman
and Seidman, accountants to the
industry, asserted drastic cur
tailment of furniture manufac-
ture would be necessary this
year lin order to release all pos
sible labor, transportation, fuel
and power" to the war effort.
Under such a concentration
program, Seidman explained,
instead of permitting all plants
of an industry to continue to op-
crate on a part-time basis, only
certain nucleus plants are per-
mitted to produce civilian goods,
the others being forced either to
get into war work or shut
down."
Seidman serves the. War Pro-
duction Board In an advisory
capacity, but he said his views
on concentration of facilities
were personal and unofficial.
They were expressed in a sur
vey report released while the
Grand Rapids winter furniture
market was in progress here.
Large plants which usually
are better equipped to handle
war work will ordinarily be the
ones converted to war work,
while the small plants will get
most of the industry's civilian
orders" Seidman said. "Basical-
ly, it may be expected that
careful geographical choice of
nucleus plants will be made with
the end of relieving critica ]
drains on labor, power, trans
portation and power resources
that exist in many sections of
the country"
Seidman estimated that the
industry throughout the coun-
try was only about 10 per cent
converted to war work, contrast
ing with so per cent conversion
of all the Grand Rapids plants
estimated by Stephen F. Dunn,
secretary Of the Grand Rapids
Furniture Manufacturers Asso-

Meat Shortage
Eased Slightly

DETROIT, Jan. S - (P -
Detroit's meat shortage began to
ease today with prospects that
most complaints would die off
by the end of the week.
Operating on new year quo
tas, slaughter houses had resum-
ed activities and the butchers
counters started looking the bet
ter for it.
The Office of Price Admins
tration said that the December
shortage had resulted from fail
ure of packers to extend the Oc-
tober- December quota properly.
Quotas for the first three
months of this year are based
on the kill for the correspond
ing months of 1941. The beef,
veal and pork quotas are 10 per
cent of the 194l January March
kill. The lamb and mutton quo
tas are IS per cent.
