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.
