Agreement Cited Krug said the army, navy, and major war agencies unanimously agreed on the program, intended to provide "maximum employ ment, just as quickly as possible" after Germany goes down, but at the samo time protecting pro duction necessary to fight Japan. A reduction of about 40 per cent in war production within three months utter Germany's defeat and the freeing of 4,000, 000 war workers for other Jobs is anticipated. Increase Estimated Chairman Donald M. Nelson, of WPB. now on a presidential mission to China, has estimated that a 40 per cent cut in war reduction would mean a 30 per cent increase in the output for civilians. As specifically explained by Krug the program will allow any manufacturer to use any plant and any materials not needed for war production to turn out any thing. WPB and other government agencies he said, will "do every thing within their powers to as sist and encourage industry iti resuming civilian production and maintaining employment through the use of the know-now oi its industry divisions and industry- labor advisory committees." To Maintain rowers The production agency will maintain its organization and nowers "until it is certain that the war production program Is adequate lor victory over Japan." Controls will oe continued over such "tight materials as lumber, textiles, and certain chemicals through a system of allocations designed to assure an equitable distribution based on essentiality. The extreme emergency ma preference rating will be re tained, and there- will be only one other, reserved exclusively for the military programs during the war against Japan. All other production will be "unrated." First Meeting The first meet- inc of the season for county home extension units will be the Poe Vallev-Olene meeting this Friday. Christmas gift making will be discussed and new offi cers will be installed. pl& MIRACLE NE(U1E IN THE MAUSpK!l" j;j FEATURING' ' : ' !
