JP) Positive and prompt action to forestall any war production shutdowns due to lack of ma terials appeared imminent today in consonance with Donald M. Nelson's newly enunciated "get tough" policy. The Droductlon chief was ex- ipected to give his regional di rectors throughout the country power to issue "quickie" prior ity ratings to provide needed small quantities of materials or parts. Thus holders of war contracts threatened with stoppage or cur tailment of output because of an interruption in the flow of ma terials or a breakdown of ma chinery, could obtain readily the materials needed to keep going. " Informed officials who re quested that they not be quoted j by name said such a plan, if adopted, undoubtedly would put strict limits on the amount of materials at the disposal of the regional officers. The Economic Outlook, pub lished by the CIO, said short ages djie to inefficient manage ment by the steel industry had caused a considerable number of plants to shut down. Official Washington watched closely for more drastic action from Nelson, who yesterday made it clear that he had taken his gloves off for a finish fight on the question of his adminis tration ot the war effort. "From now on any one who crosses my path is going to have his head taken off," he said in discussing statements from con gressional and other sources that the War Production board had mishandled its job. J. e " ' t m n m r c o . . inc. A1 -mP- Wilmington, Del., Aug. 20. (P) The Hercules Powder Co. announced today that it was producing a new plastic which could replace rubber in hun dreds of everyday articles. Base for the new plastic is ethyl cellulose, manufactured j from cotton lintcrs or wood , pulp, common salt and alcohol , from natural gas or from fer mented farm products. j Ethyl cellulose has been in production for some time at the company's chemical cotton plant at Hopewell, Va, L. N. Bent, vice president. said the new plastics were not now suitable for tires or Inner tubes because they were inferior to natural rubber in bounce or resiliency. He said they would tear more readily than rubber and were not as elastic. COLEADSTALKS ON USE OF GAS Colonel R. A.
