WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 UP)
The WPB, in a drastic new
move to meet vital war needs,
has ordered that all civilian
production be frozen indefin
ite!, at present levels.
The order, dated December
7 and circulated within the war
production board but not an
nounced, is designed to discour
age the movement of labor
from war plants into peacetime
activity while heavy demand
continues for some vital wea
pons and material.
"Hold That Line"
In effect a "hold-the-line"
order on production, the ruling
instructs the WPB staff neither
to increase civilian goods pro
duction above the level of this
uarter nor to relax existing
orders if increased output would
result. , . - , ,
The move was based on the
theory that the volume of civil
ian goods now programmed is
sufficient to meet "essential re-
ouirements" and avoid hard
ship on the home front.
Leeway Left . -
Some ' 'slieht leeway for ex
pansion was eft,'1. 'however, by
two mechanisms provided in the
order, which., w a s signed by
Samuel Andersons WPBIs pro
gram vice chairman:
First, the office of civilian

Swift Induction to Face
Draft-Agers Leaving Jobs
By KARL R. BAUMAN
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 P)
Draft-age men in industry were
told today to "meet their war
responsibilities" on the produc

Translating the government's

into "vou can" and "you can't'
regulations. . selective service
nredicted - a .much larger pro
portion of men in the 26-37 age
group will be inducted after
February 1.
"The war isn't a young man s
war, but everybody's war," said
a selective service memorandum
last night to local draft boarns.
Tho "erltinal situation" re
quires, it added, that civilians
remain in war-supporting indus

employment ir nui. "'i-auJ ,

Local boards were directed to
fill calls for the armed forces
"by reclassification as it- De

The order does not add up to
an outright "freeze" in their
present jobs of occupatlonally
deferred workers in the 28
through 37 bracket. However,
they must stay on unless they
can show that a change would
promote the war effort. '
This means that a workte
