CIVILIAN GOODS:
Increase Opposed

While congressional a d e r s
pressed for an increase in output Of
civilian goods in view Of a surplus OF
certain materials and cancellation Of
some war contracts, government Of
icials cautioned against any consid-
cradle boost in production over
present levels.
War Production Car Donald Mel
son said military output must be in
creased in the immediate future and
maintained at high peaks until &C
tual needs for operations in western
Europe are established.
Undersecretary Of War Robert
Patterson opposed any notable
switch to civilian production on the
grounds that it would create un-
founded optimism and lead to a rush
from war plants to obtain jobs in
consumer goods industries.

Plank Says That
Cigars Scarce in
European Theater

Money, of a kind, is plentiful in
Europe but cigars are scarce. So
states Brig. Gen. Ewart G. Plank,
formerly of Fort Peck, in a letter
to Ira B. Tourtlotte.
Friends recalled General Plank's
prediction for cigars when he was
an engineering officer helping build
the huge Missouri river dam. Then
a captain, he left Fort Peck in 1888
to attend the command and general
staff school at Fort Leavenworth,
Kans. He was recently heard in an
Army Hour broadcast, in which he
told of the army's immense supply
tasks in the European theater.
AS to the money situation, Gen.
eral Plank sent Mr.. Tourtlotte Sev
eral samples of German propaganda
currency. They bear a printe re-
sembling United States paper dol
lars on one side. The reverse is de-
voted to statements about "the Jew
war" and like abuse of this country,
printed in French.
