|WpB Orders Discard
|0f Priority Controls
lover Next s Months

The War Production Boare
yesterday ordered the graduai
scrapping. over a six-montf
period, of priority control fol
virtually everything except mil
itary requirements"
Also, effective today WPB re.
leased steel and copper mills to de-
liver metal to nonpriority manufac-
turers of civilian goods, following q
similar release of aluminium and
brass mill products.
The latter move, by relaxing
WPB's ALLEGATION of the metals
under the controlled materials
plan," gave the go ahead signal for
automobile, vacuum cleaner and
other producers to resume peace
time production as rapidly as they
can obtain labor and materials and
retool plants matter Of months
in most cases.
Two additional production devel-
opments marked the end of fiscal
1945:
The vast Liberty ship program
came to an end, with completion of
the 2,580th mass-produced cargo
ship. The vessel, the Stanley r.
Fisher, was delivered from the South
Portland, Me-, yard of the New
England Shipbuilding Corp.
WPB announced that May NUM-
tions output totalled $4,600, ,000, 900,
about per cent under the two
front war peak in March. A slight
further decline is expected for June.

Armament cutbacls IN May affected
979 war plants and will result in re-
ducing output this year and next
by s7.66s, ,00o, 900.
WPB announced that total arms
output In the next II months will
fall just short OF $42 1000 ,000. 600
compared with a 1945 program set
at s6o, 900 900 900 before the collapse
of Germany.
The production report showed air.
craft output in May per cent below
that of April; ships down per cent
guns and fire control equipment
down 7 per cent; ammunition UP 2
per cent; radar and radio equipment
down 6 per cent; and vehicles and
other equipment and supplies about
the same as in April.
Gradual Change.
The streamlining of the priority
system will take place over a transi-
ton period from July TO the years
end, to give business an oppor-
tunity to adjust its operations to the
new system" WPB said. It goes
into full effect next January 1.
1t means that military orders will
nave top priority, while civilian pro-
duction increasingly will operate
without priority aid. At the end of
1s45. the present priority system
under which ratings OF AA-1, AA-2
and so on are granted, will be re-
placed by a new MN" rating.
The MN" rating will be assigned
by the Army, Navy and other war
agencies, but WPB will use it for
war-supporting and essential ci-
william goods, In cases where "neces-
sary for the war effort or for re-
quirements similarly urgent" it was
stated. The present AAA rating will
continue, as at present, for emer-
gency use only.
End Of Contracts Near.
Until December 81, the MN rat
ing will be equivalent to the present
AA-I military priority. The old
ratings will be kept for certain ma
terials, such as textiles, which are
under additional controls not lend
ing themselves to the new system.
Beginning October /, no more
ratings In the AA-1 series will be
assigned except for deliveries to be
completed before the years end.
The years end will bring the end
of the controlled materials plan,
under which metals are rationed
to authorized users. The relaxation
of GIMP" today merely permits de-
livery of metals to nonpriority users
after deliveries have been made to
priority users.
