The tagging production of ma,
chinery for United States farm:
was laid by WPB sources mainly
to the manpower shortage both in
the plants of implement companies
and their suppliers.
However, tractors, a major item,
were running only 4 per cent be-
hind the scheduled rate OH Marcl
l the last date for which figures
were available.
WPB officials canvassed the en-
tire farm machinery industry after
obtaining from the War Food Ad-
ministration list of the equip
ment items most urgently needed
Each manufacturer was asked how
much additional equipment of the
urgent types he could build and
WPB now is authorizing increased
quotas for those who have indicated
their ability to handle extra
production.

them was John T. Jozefczyke, 81, a

by Germans, wounded in Norway
and was on two ships which were
torpedoed while in the merchant

|WPB Acts 10 Speed
Preharvest Output
|0f Farm Machinery

| BY the Associated Press.
With farm machinery manufac-
ture trailing 227 per cent behind
schedule, the War Production Board
is boosting the quotas of those
plants that can stand more
pressure.
While asserting it is impossible
to catch up with the 1914 goals
WPB officials said they hoped to
make up good part of the produc-
ton deficit before the harvest
starts.
1t was learned simultaneously
that the foreign rehabilitation pro-
gram of farm equipment production
has been cut deeply and resubmitted
to WPB as a six-month program
sponsored by the Army, since the
Army would have charge of re-
habilitation in liberated territories
for the first six months after Allied
occupation.
Foreign Program Slashed.
The foreign program now calls
for 10000 tons of steel, compared
with the proposed earlier United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration program of 10000
tons of which 10000 tons was the
initial portion.
More than half the farm equip
ment in the new Army sponsored
program will be built in Canada or
the United Kingdom, WPB sources
said. The Foreign Economic Ad-
ministration is seeking it's compile
ton by the end of this year.
The foreign program is small py
comparison with the nearly 1900
loco tons of steel allocated for
domestic production in the year

Body Recovered
From Canal

Peace officers Thursday sought
to identify the body of man
found floating in the Au-American
canal near the New river syphon
west of CaleXico late Wednesday.
Physicians estimated that death
occurred three weeks 10 two months
ago. Deputy Coroner A. T. Lyons
said the body was in such condi-
ton that he believed the body had
been in the water several weeks
The man may have been white
or Mexican. He was five feet ana
five inches in height, weighed abou'
140 pounds, and his age estimated
as between 40 and As years. He had
on pair of high black shoes. There
was a long patch on the inside
of the left shoe and a small round
patch on the outside Of the left
shoe. The shoes were in fair condi-
ton but had been half-soled. Lyons
said there was a narrow strip Of
cotton material clinging to the
body. The material apparently had
a red plaid figure and might have
come from a shirt or a pair Of
shorts, he said.
His teeth were in good condi-
ton" Lyons said, without cavities
or Filings"
Officers Thursday examined the
desert 2tions of missing persons
listed within the last three months
in an effort to ascertain if they
tailed with the description of the
body found in the canal.
