Cigarette manufacturers today
were ordered by the war food
administration to restrict their
purchases of 1944 crop flue
cured tobacco to 74 per cent of
the quantity used by them for
manufacturing purposes in the
year ending June 30. .... .
A WFA spokesman said, how
ever, there probably would be
little if any cut in the cigarette
supply for the nation during
the next year compared with
the past year. . .-.
- The order was based on the
July 1 agriculture department
estimate of a flue cured crop of
834,000,000 .. pounds, , but good
rains in the tobacco areas since
then have caused the trade to
estimate a . crop of up to 950,
000,000 pounds; -Charles Gage,
head of the WFA. tobacco sec
tion, said.-

WASHINGTON. July 20 (IP)
Ralph A. Bard, undersecretary
of the navy, reported today a
shortage of 30,000 workers in
navy shipyards and production
plants, "principally on the Pa
cific coast."
He gave the figure in a state
ment addressed to production
workers in all navy establish
ments, in which he said that the
navy's production program is
still increasing."
He said that the increase in
the last six months of 1944 will
be approximately 10 per cent
above the program for the first
naif of the year, in tne first six
months of next year, he said, an
increase of approximately three
per cent in the building pro
gram is anticipated.
An end to the war in Europe,
he said, is not expected to affect
the program.
"Our battle of production," he
said, "will end only with the de
feat of Japan."
