SCENTS New York, Dee, 12 (UK Confirmation of reports that ma jor revisions In the nation's arm ament program are being planned by military authorities, and centralization of manpower and food controls were the high lights of business developments this week. Announcement by the military that certain orders for defensive armament had been scal.-d down on cancelled confirmed reports circulating in business channels since the American Invasion of North Africa. However, this does not mean that armament production will decline over the coming year. In fact, war expenditures for 1943 probably will double the estimated total of $50,000,00(1. 000 spent this year. What it means is that the military, be cause of the piling up of various types of armaments, now is in position to be selective, choos ing the specific weapons needed for the various theaters of war. Cutting one gallon from the "A" gasoline ration coupon, in 18 eastern rationed states, is es timated to save about 20,000 bar rels of gasoline daily.
