The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-06-16

Summarizing post VE-Day relax ations or revocations of orders which had prevented or restricted civilian production, the War Pro- duction Board today advised manu- lecturers that 1t was to their ad vantage to follow closely these al- most daily changes if they are seek ing to return to peace-time produc- tion.
 Manufactures can aid WIPE to lift its controls, Charles A. Newton, manager of the New Haven Dis trict Office of the War Production Board, said, by promptly canceling ratings and allotments, and return ing uneeded allotments, as ise re- quired by Pri. Reg. l and GIMP Reg 1. In this way, he said, WIPE can determine more readily how much material will be freed for sivilian use.
 He warned, however, WIPE would retain many of it's controls over distribution and use of certain critical materials still needed to crush Japan and that manufactur- CTS should not assume that any controls have been lifted until an official announcement by WIPE.
 Manufacturers were advised as follows:
 l. On Unrated Orders for Con- trOlled Materials - You may now place orders for controlled materials in any amount to be delivered after June 30. 1945 without using an allotment or allotment symbol. Your suppliers can fill these order after June 30, 1945, as long as they also fill all other orders they are re- quired to fill by WIPE Regulations. Amendment l to GIMP Regulation l, dated May 10, 1945.)
 2. On Idle and Excess Materials You may now buy idle and ex- cess controlled materials without any authorization from WIPE. You may also buy many additional tems of idle and excess materials with out any authorization. (See List A of Priorities Regulations 13, as amended May 10, 1s45) You can also use your own idle and excess controlled materials for any pur- pose. Paragraph Cup (3) of GIMP Regulations l, amended May 10, 1945).
 3. ALLOTMENTS You have received or will shortly receive your allotment of controlled materials for the third quarter of 1945. Generally the initial third quarter allotments to all manufacturers will be enough to get minimum essential produc- tion for the third quarter. Therefore WIPE will not usually give you ad- ditional allotments unless you need them to fill additional military or ders which you did not anticipate, or to adjust errors in applications or authorizations. Some advance quarter allotments are also being made. These probably will be changed later as soon as accurate knowledge of supply and demand permits the determination of GIMP policy for future quarters.
 4. Authorized Production Sched- ules Under GIMP When you get your third quarter GIMP allotments you may find that a specific produc- ton schedule in dollars or units for the third quarter has been entered in Section of the authorization form even though you did not pre- viously get one. If you find that such production schedule has been assigned to you, you cannot use the allotments and preference ratings to get production materials for production in excess of the amount specifically authorized. (CMP Regulation l, as amended May 10, l945 and GIMP Regulation 3, as amended May IA, 1945.)
 5. Production in Excess of a Spe- cific Authorized Production Sched- ule - Unless there is a WIPE order or regulation still in effect which restricts your production of a pro- duct, you may make it in any quan- tity in excess of specific authoriz- ed production schedule provided that you get all of the materials needed for the excess production without using preference ratings or allotments. Paragraph (o) (D of GIMP Regulation 1, as amended May 10, ls45.)
 :. Statement of Manpower Re- quirements - You are no longer re- quired to file a Form WPB-3820 with a CMP-4B application if your plant is located in Group 3, Group
