as TO labor, on Cutbacks and

This presumably would mean
the production urgency commit
tees. which now pass on war
contracts.
If they are really interested
in the first feature, Krug's COM
mittee should study what the
Central Districts 1t. Col. Will
liam Young has done in his
plant clearance section OF the
readjustment division. The job
that his men did in clearing the
Ford turbo-Supercharger plant
after the cancellation OF that
contract should recommend the
plan 10 the WPB committee.
Inc Te-deteTrTlndeiOnS system,
which has become model
throughout the Air Forces dis

itself TO swift. sure and equi-
table clearance Of all war plnats
and insure resumption of peace

New Reconversion
Blueprint Awaited
BY SILEK FREEMAN

The news from Washington
that James r. ByrneS has or
dered revival Of the War Pro-
duction Boards reconversion
planning should be good news
10 the autOmotiVe industry here.
The fact that the previous blue
print, which had been put on
high shelf when the Germans
broke through last December,
has been wickered, will be dis
couraging.
The industry had fought hard
for the previous reconversion
planning. {. h. Wilson, X. T.
Keller, Henry Ford II, George
Mason, George Christopher and
other top flight industrialiStS
had given much OF their time
and effort 10 put together inn
portant bits Of that blueprint.
Now it is 10 be tossed over
board.
Most of the gains made were
with Donald Nelson in the sad
die. Since then J. A. Krug has
replaced him But it is earnestly
hoped that some Of the points
for which the industry fought
vdliantiy Will not be lost by the
special staff which Krug has
assigned TO draw the new plans.
