yards of broadcloth scheduled for
the Quartermaster Corps in PSjla-

would be utilized in filling the need
for civilian goods.
This was the first cancellation
notice received since the company
has been filling orders for the War
Department. Mr.. Davis said how
ever, that he expects that all OF
the War Department contracts,
amounting to some one and hall
million yards of goods, will be can

So far there has been no indi.
cation from the Treasury depart

tract would be voided.

military use.
Charles A. Cannon Of Concord,
chairman of the board OF the
American Cotton Manufacturers
association, said there was no pos
sibility of serious disruption of the
industry's activities as result Of
the shift. ~ l..
Many of the mills, he explained,
have been making products almost
identical with their normal pre-
war: production, and consequently
these plants can continue to oper-
ate with little interruption.
Some others, however, will have
to make readjustments in their
equipment, but ordinarily these
changes can be made in a short
time.
Many North Carolina merchants
predicted that the buying public
would be able to obtain within 60

that have been so hard to find in
recent months.
