0DM 10 Chart Plans
For War Economy
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Defense mobilizer Arthur S.
Flemming yesterday began re-
organizing the Office of Defense
Mobilization for a task of in
definite duration-providing the
industrial economy with both the
tools and the plans for waging
World War III.
Under a presidential reorgan-
ization, ODM on Friday became
the country's first permanent,
central defense, agency. It gain
ed authority not only to control
the present munitions build-up
but to blue print the laws and
regulations needed in a full mo-
bilization.
AS a first move. Flemming pre-
pared to survey the plant ex-
pansion goal in every industry
related to defense and, where
necessary, fix new goals meas
uring up to the demands of sud-
den, total war.
Act To Plug Gaps
This will be followed, officials
said, by acting to plug gaps
found in industry'S war-poten-
tial. The incentives to expan-
sion may include more liberal
tax benefits, federal loans or
loan guarantees, or special meas
ures recommended by expert
consultants to be brought into
the agency.
No drastic" changes are eX-
pected, it was said, but some I'M
mediate decisions must be made.
ODM will determine within two
or three weeks, an official said,
what to do about snag in the
planned expansion of aluminium
production. Two of the three
companies involved have been
unable so far to get the f1nanc-
ing they expected to build the
new plants.
Cut Staff to 800.
Mr.. Flemming repeatedly will
cut ODM's staff to slightly more
than 300 employees. despite the
addition of duties formerly per-
formed by the old National Sc
curities Resources Board and De-
fense Production Administration.
Six main divisions are being
created, each to be headed by
an assistant ODM director drawn
from private business. Each Will
serve six months to year. then
step out-with the understand
ing that he will return to Wash
ton in a war emergency.
Mr.. Flemming hopes thus to
build up in private industry a
pool of talent trained in mobili-
zation problems and in the ways
of government. Each OF these
borrowed" chiefs will have
deputy from the Government
Career Service. to insure CONT
nuity of policy.
Small Sterilization Staff.
Five of the divisions will have
twin responsibilities-f1rSt, tc
carry forward the defense build
up; second, to draft laws and ex-
ecutive orders which could be
enacted swiftly by Congress OF
issued by the White House Il
war broke out.
The sixth unit, a stabilizatior
division with a very small staff
will have planning chores only
1t will draft wage, price. ration
ing and rent control Legislation
to be laid on the shelf unit
needed. It also will draw up exec
utive orders which would b.
issued to bring control agencie
into being, and basic regulation
to be issued by the agencies whel
the controls are clamped on.
Three Top Men Picked.
The other divisions, for thre
of which Mr.. Flemming alread,
has chosen his top men, are:
l.: Manpower. under Thoma
r. Reid, civic affairs director o
the Ford Motor Co. This offic
will develop selective servic
policies and manpower controls

A major recommendation was
the abolishment of the Sparkman

well as all other regulations aid

Thus, any regulation requiring
small business to share in ex-
penditures for goods given away,

Yet, the report does state that
In Paris, for example, MSA en-
ployees are paid considerably
higher than comparable salaries
In Washington, ID. c., that en-
ployees' standards Of living are
creating envy and criticism In
foreign lands; and that many
employees are maintaining large
homes stated with servants.
In Italy, the investigators
found an abundant labor supply,
which the report states is an at
traction to private capital. Mill
tary spending in Italy should be
continued, it is recommended,
with the provision, however, that
U. S. dollars should be spent in
Italy for Italian made goods.
1t Is also recommended that
the U. S. purchase in Italy autos,
textiles, and food.
y
This last item causes great
amusement in Washington.
Facts are-Italy does not pro-
duce enough food to feed her
own; the u. s. has given millions
in food to Italy to prevent star
walton. Yet, the experts" say
u. s. should buy food In Italy.
Also significant was unani-
nous agreement where to cut
MSA spending.
The cut, 1t recommended,
should be made In MSA informa-
tion services, which report where
and when American tax dollars
are spent abroad.
Stripped of surplus words, the
report recommends:
1. That u. s. permanently con-
tinue to spend billions abroad.
2. That no protection be given
U. S. small business or agricul-
ture.
8. That no prohibitions be re-
tanned barring use of U. S. taxes
to build European monopoIies.
4. That the public be told less
about what is going on.
