' .-- i More Output of Ashed by Truman Committee Rv ERNEST , WASHINGTON, March 4. - production battles have been won, the Truman committee called tonight for greater output of civilian goods and hit at adminis tration proposals for a universal manpower draft.; 1 . ! While emphasizing that fronts are yet to be fought and heavier and longer range comDai aircraft, radio, radar and ships "will continue for many months," the senate's war investigating committee asserted: . :' , " ? "Production officials s a y i the bulk of initial equipment and sup plies for the war department will have been manufactured within 60 to 90 days, and the Job thereafter will be to supply the items of spe cial need, replace damaged and destroyed materials and improve quality. ,.i "The problem now and for the future will be to produce as much more war material as will be re quired and at the same time pre vent the home economy from weakening s fv. : Essential civilian needs,! the committee declared, are greater than they were a year ago and unless new farm machinery and replacement parts for both farm machinery and trucks are made "The injury to our economy; will be serious." 4 Although there still will be man power shortages in certain areas, the committee's third annua re port to congress said, "The extent of such areas and the degree of crisis will be so very much less that the committee does not be lieve that so drastic a remedy as the enactment of a manpower draft statute is warranted." 1 Apparently referring to admin istration arguments that a nation- ai service law would De a weapon against strikes, the report declared that strikes occurring in mining. manufacturing and construction in 1943 "resulted in a loss of man power of less than one-fourth of one percent of the manpower act ually used, whereas the manpow er contributed by labor in that pe riod exceeded that used in 1939 by 76 percent., ! v In addition to the "fundamental objection to the regimentation of the people and the further; en croachment on the military on our economy," the committee said, "The manpower problem is too complex and difficult to be solved by any such easy means as passing a manpower draft statute." Increasing supplies of materials and a higher rate of cancellation of war contracts," the report add ed, "Makes lt evident that ,mater ials soon will have to be made available for further civilian pro duction." This does not mean that we can soon resume .full-scale civil ian production, but only that we can produce limited quantities of a few score of additional items classified as essential and still have some surplus of materials 2 new . : f00 ttndeV? add or .e il ' T .

The committee recommended that any manufacturer be allowed to make any article he desiijes providing: (1) basic commodities needed for it are not required for war or essential civilian items; (2) the manufacturing operations' are not undertaken in areas lot critical manpower shortage; and (3) the manufacturer has not been asked to undertake construction of a war item. .. j It opposed any efforts to pre vent use of surplus commodities and creation of any new industrial controls that would retard pro duction of peace-time articles. ; It reported estimates from the war production board that war conn-act cancellations will run the first six months1 of this year at the rate of $1,500,000,000 a month. In a review of the war produc tion front, thf. committee reported that: Aircraft production has reached a rate of m6re than 100,000 planes a year with the ratio of combat planes to trainers, and of super ior planes to less desirable ones steadily increasing. Despite urgent needs for 100 octane gasoline, aluminum, mag nesium and synthetic rubb e r which made it impossible to reach a 95,000,000-net ton goal for steel, production went to 83,838,043 tons In 1943 "to meet requirements for the war and to leave a small bal ance for the most essential civil ian items." Asserting it Is essential to pro vide financial assistance to protect small steel concerns affected by cutbacks, the report asserted that big companies, like United States Steel, Republic and Bethlehem, "Will emerge from the war in1 a stronger position than they en tered." Such an industry "Can prove a dangerous factor when lit is concentrated in the hands of a few," the committee commented.
