.WPB Summarizes
Outlook for Civilian
Machinery Delivery
BY the Associated Press

bS lut hSSOCldieO ITPSS.
Decreasing delivery of most indus.
trial equipment to factories recon-
verting for peacetime production
was reported by the War Production
Board yesterday.
Months of untitled orders congest
producers of general industrial
equipment, WPB said. In many
cases the shortage of manpower
continues
Almost all the controls over man
ufacture of such equipment have
been removed since We day, and
WPB urged producers to make
every reasonable effort" to boost
production for civilian industries to
the greatest extent without harming
military production.
WPB Summarizes Outlook.
AS a checklist for businessmen,
WPB offered this summary of sup
ply and outlook for various types
of equipment:
Electrical motor and control equip
showing little i'm
provement because of heavy and
high-priority backlogs of orders on
manufacturers books. Some upturn
expected in last quarter of l945 and
first quarter of 1916.
Refrigeratio and air condition
continue heavy for
the armed forces, especially to mid
Pacific advance bases Part of the
industry fears the backlog of orders
will become unmanageable, creating
hardship and delaying reconversion
However, WPB looks for improve
ment by the end of the year.
Manpower Is Needed.
Reciprocating air and gas COM
pressors-Ba Backlog last month was
$72 100000 in orders. Nonpriority
orders are being placed and some
types of compressors are being
promptly delivered Deliveries could
be improved with more manpower.
Electroplating and anodizing
equipment-Some small quantities
available without priority, but in
general a three to six month wait
is indicated.
Fans and bloWers-Not much ca
pacity available at present for nom
priority business. but plenty should
be available by early September.
Military Orders Heavy.
gh-preSSure fans and blowers
Industry still burdened with military
orders Little nonpriority business
being handled and no improvement
expected until November or Decem-
Der.
Steam engineS-WPB believes the
industry should be able to produce
nonpriority orders.
Electric arc welding machines
Readily available.
Oxyacetylene welding and cutting
apparatuS-readiiy available.
Electric resistance welding ma
chimes = approximately five month
backlog
Metalizing Equipment Available.
Metalizing equipment - readily
available; nonpriority orders ap-
proXimately 45-day backlog.
Pressure vessel-plenty of space
in shops for any type of order.
Heat eXchangers-industry still
behind scheduled requirements. Un-
rated orders will get very poor de-
livery for several months.
Food processing machinery
about a six-month backlog of ap-
proved orders on the books.
fabrication equipment = supply
Evening star., 1945-08-02

meeting all essential needs, although
demands for some special-purpose
equipment outrunning supply. All
requirements will be met six months
hence.
Wood Machinery Scarce.
Woodworking machinery-a six
month backlog now shown and de-
mand will continue heavy for at
least six months longer.
Industrial trucks-no substantial
supplies for civilian use within next
Conveying machinery - Four to
seven month backlog; improvement
expected by end of l945.
Industrial gears - Backlogs still
high, but producers able to fill a
large proportion of civilian orders.
Freight and industrial elevators
A substantial part of the industry's
capacity can now be turned to civil
ian output.
Industrial pumps-Seven to eight
months will be required to bring
about any appreciable quantity of
nonpriority deliveries.

next morning we went to Camp
Barley, twelve miles from Abil-
enc, where we met Swanson.
We were able to see Swanson
only a short time, after which we
returned to Abilene. Swanson
was looking well and had gained
a lot of weight
The following Sunday we at
tended church in Abilene, where
we enjoyed a good worship serv-
ice. I was particularly interest
ed to see that on the trip, every
soldier we met treated us with
extreme kindness and I was sur
prised to find that the soldiers of
our nation are predominately re-
ligious.
I left Swanson, his wife and
Barbara on Monday, December
IL and went to Lawton, Okla,
where I visited the Danford Ste
vens, and their two sons. From
there I went to Canton, Okla, and
visited the J. c. Stevens and
their six children. I spent about
two weeks in Oklahoma and was
glad and impressed with the fine
religious quality of our people in
, this section. Our relatives treat
ed me fine, and took a lot of time
to show me a very good time.
While I was with them they took
me to see Fort Sill, one of the
largest camps in the United
States.
I then started home, going by
train, and starting from Nocnna,
Texas It was very interesting
travelling by train as I came
through Texarkana, Little Rock,
Memphis, Knoxville and Bristol.
From Bristol I rode the bus to
Boone and from there home.
was away from home Is days
during the trip. This was the
best trip I ever took in my life.
We have a fine nation and the
people of it are, find, basically
good, kind and thoughtful.

On December 4, Mrs. Swanson

agreeable, beautiful and warm.
We were able to reach Johnson
City, Tenn, before day-break,

lunch. Our route passed through
Tennessee on to Georgia and from
Georgia we passed through Ala

leaving Alabama, routed through
