The em phasis from now on, they said, will be on. easing government production controls to permit the forces of three enterprise and competition get back to work. , A highly optimistic report on the nation's immediate economic future was given by war produc tion chairman. J. A.; Krug, who said the country is much better prepared for reconversion now than it was in 1918. Krug predicted that one year from today United Stales fnc lorics will be turning out durable civilian goods at an annual rate of $16,700,000,000 30 per cent higher than in 1939. -, Krug said many workers will not even have to shift jobs. Of some 51,200,000 civilian workers now employed, he declared, 46, 600,000 are in jobs that will con tinue regardless of war produc tion.
