To-day. materials which no longer
are needed for war production and

Rommey cited one unnamed COM

occupied by parts and materials
from a cancelled tank contract and
there is still more than 1000 tons
of steel tying up space nearly 10

With wholesale contract termi-
nations on V-day, this incident will
be multiplied many times" Rommey
warned. And unless adequate legis-
