Cotton Clothing Will be Slow in Reaching Market Washington, July 31 (U.R) Pre-war quality cotton dresses, shorts, shirts and housecoats will not be on the market until sev eral months after V-J Day be cause the armed forces still are using 100 per cent of some cot ton weaves, the War Production Board said today. Reduced military requirements for wool and worsted indicate, however, that a greater supply of wool topcoats, overcoats and dresses will be on retail shelves by November. Production of worsted wool suits is expected to reach 75 per cent of peacetime production by January, 1946, the agency said. The scarcity of men's shorts. WPB explained, is due to the fact that the weave used in their manufacture had been reserved entirely for military use.
