lie tonight sweeping reconver-
sion program to be put into effect

ing wholesale cutbacks in war
contracts to carry out a 40 per
cent slash in war production.
The program; expected to re-
lease millions of workers for re-
sumption of civilian production and
business activity. was drawn up by
war mobilization director Byrnes
at a neYs conference IN the White
House.
Byrnes disclosed that far-fetch-
ing plans are already being made

advised of war contract cancella-
ton kilograms which will be sent

ends.

2-The food surplus situation
will make it necessary for Con-
gress to decide what it will do

with caustic comment and little
tricks.
More than one irate fan took
swing at him in those early days,
but no real fights developed, because
his play always was clean, and the
Packers usually came to his de-
