Military Production
To Get Top Priority
Under New Order
Expected Tomorrow;
Terms Will Extend
To Subcontructors
By Froncis P. Douaias

The Government was putting
the finishing touches today on a
priority order directing industry
to put military production ahead
Of any other.
The order is expected to be
issued tomorrow by the National
Production Authority to gear in
dustry to the Governments $50
billion military production pro-
gram.
Earlier the NPA had issued an
inventory control order aimed at
preventing the overstocking and
boarding by industry of 80 scarce
materials.
The priorities order will put
civilian output in second place
on production schedules.
The order will be of such a
nature that a prime contractor
may use it in it's dealings with
subcontractors who would thus be
required to put the components
for military items ahead OF all
others. The order. for example,
would not only apply to the pro-
ducer Of tanks, but also to the
producer of engines for tanks.
Steel Output to Be Boosted.
No secondary priorities affect
ing essential civilian production,
as was the case in World War II,
are to be issued at this time.
With demand for steel increas-
ing as the result of military pro-
duction and prospective produc-
ton, Secretary of Commerce
Sawyer announced yesterday that
the steel industry plans to in
crease production by 94 million
tons by the end of 1852. This
will mean production at an annual
rate of 109 1858 900 tons as COM
pared with 100.563, 900 tons last
July /.
The Secretary said the industry
also would increase its blast fur
mace capacity in the same period

The American buying public

high of $40, ,979, 900 900 in August,

Overall consumer credit jumped
$614 million in August after an
unprecedented $500 million in

increased $411 million in August
compared with July's $500 million
record.
Controls Reimposed.
On September 18 the Federal
Reserve Board reimposed controls
on installment credit. On autos
it required a one-third down pay

on major appliances Is per cent
down and an 18-month payoff.
The August rise was spurred
by the post-Korea buying rush
which quieted down in the latter

Indications are that both total

new record highs again.

To Discuss Formation
OF Home Guard Unit
National Guard Officers,
Police Chief and Civil
Defense Head to Attend
By William J. WheotIey

Brig. Gen. William II. Aben-
droth, commander Of the District
National Guard, will meet with
the Commissioners tomorrow to
discuss formation of a home guard
here.
Although the force would be or
ganized strictly along military
lines and subject to military disci-
pline while on active duty. the
Commissioners will have to de.
termine whether a home guart
is needed in this area along witt
the civil defense organization.
Gen. Abendroth, accompanied
by Col. John A. O'Keefe, Guars
adjutant general, will provide tn,
Commissioners with data on tn,
availability of arms and equipment
/ for training the proposed home
guard.
Police Chief Robert j. Barrett
and Inspector John E. Fondahl
acting civil defense director, have
been invited to attend the con-
ference because Gen. Abendroth
repeatedly wants to make certain
the proposed Setup does not inter
fere with the mobilization of q
police reserve corps.
Authorization Provided.
Formation of home guards was
provided in a bill passed just be-
fore the congressional recess. The
new force would step into the
breach left by the departure oi
the regular National Guard units
into the Federal service.
Gen. Abendroth pointed out
however, that to be ready the
home guard should be organized
while units of the National Guard
are still at home.
The home guard. he said, would
draw its personnel from former
members of the guard who would
want some form of duty in event
Iof a national emergency.
National Guard Organization.
Tt would be organized and
equipped along lines of the active
national guard, and would serve
particularly in handling riotine
and looting in the event of an at
tack on the city. The Secretary
of the Army is authorized to fur
nish clothing, arms and equipment
for training.
While in training, the Federal
Government would not be liable
for pay, subsistence, medical care
or treatment, or transportation
between members homes and the
areas for performance of duty.
Furthermore, if called into active
service for duty in the city the pay
and allowances for both officers
and men would be paid by the city
and not the Federal Government.

Admiral Sherman Tell
Of Damage at Session
On Monpower Needs

Admiral Forrest p. Sherman
chief Of naval operations, told the
House Armed Services Commit
tee today American ships recently
"have found a great many float
ing mines" near North Korean
ports, some of the mines Of Rus
sian make.
Testifying before the commit
tee on personnel needs. the Navy
chief said the mines have dam
mayed one American destroyer,
killing nine and injuring about
Is. and a smaller vessel 'involv-
ing fatalities"
Admiral Sherman did not say
the mines were placed by the So
Wet, but he added that use of
floating mines was in violation
Of Hague Convention signed by
both the United States and Russia
Admiral Sherman said only a
small number of the floating mines
actually have been recovered for
Identification purposes. Some an
chored mines also have been
found. There is no indication,
however, he added, that those
found t4~ating may have broken
loose from moorings.
Some of Russian Make
Some Of the mines recovered
were Russian Mark XXVI mines,
recently laid, and their condition
indicates they were not long out
of the storehouse," Admiral Sher-
man declared. He said it was
thought the mines either were
f1oated down river or were laid by
small craft.
At the same time, Admiral Sher-
man told the committee:
!. The Navy has money to raise
its present strength of 420, ,354 en-
listed men and $4,000 officers to
SOC, 900 by next June 80. To meet
needs, however. the strength
should be at 612,394 by that time,
he said.
2. The Navy may ask Congress
next spring to authorize construc-
ton of a new type carrier" which
either will have a flush deck" ("
without a superstructure island,
or a deck with trimmed down
island.
Navy Won't Use Draft.
8. The Navy does not expect to
use the draft, but plans to depend
on volunteers and a pool of q
million reservists to reach full
strength. At the same time, Ad-
miral Sherman opposed an Army
suggestion that separate recruit
ing by the services be halted.
