Ikrug Says Civilian
Industry Is Facing
|Tiqhfer Restrictions

Declaring that supplies of
nearly all basic raw materials
now were as short as at any
time in the war, War PRODUCE
tion Chairman j. A. Krug pre-
|dicted yesterday that new ex-
pansions of the war program
would lead to further tighten
ing of civilian production con-
trols.
Mr.. Krug told news conference
that this months liquor making
holiday" probably will be the only
one this year because of the neces-
Isity of diverting greater supplies of
industrial alcohol to the synthetic
rubber program. A large increase
in output of 1o0-octane gasoline for
warplanes has made necessary proc
essing of less rubber from petroleum
and more from alcohol.
"It is inevitable that the expan-
sion of war programs will lead to
further measures tightening civilian
production" Mr.. Krug said. Il hope
the cuts can be limited to less es-
Isential industries, so that we can
preserve the things that civilians
must have. I hope it will not be
necessary to shutdown any one in
oustry entirely"
He added that some civilian activ-
tiles are bound to suffer as a result
OF the new manpower program i'm
posing strict limits on the number
Of employees less essential firms can
use.
Mr.. Krug revealed that the syn
thetic rubber industry has been
asked to produce 100000 tons this
year compared with a 737,00O-ton
output in 1914, first year of full op-
Grafton of the plants.
Labor shortages in aluminium
sheet mills has necessitated closing
OF the books Of all producers against
new orders indefinitely, P D. Wilson,
WPB vice chairman, told the con-
ference. Mr.. Wilson estimated the
mill shortage at between 1000 and
5000 workers, and added that the
Army had promised to furlough
some men to help out.
