ed and contractors aie going to. j work j The first thing a contractor or a i manufai lurer does wbc u he gets a contrad is start worrying about j raw materials and where he Is go- J mg to get them But he la late ou { the job because lhe commission had a whole crew of experts worrying about this a long time ago. For instance, about the time be thinks 1 there isn't any tungsten for hie hlgh-epeed catting tools, lhe commission comes along and says Take It easy A whole shipload of ' tungsten Just came tn from China last week That happened because > three mouths ago we knew that ' this would be a strategic raw ma-) I lerlal and we provided some tuwg-: i stea it is already silting in a stock pile wailing lo be used The commission and the army aud navy munitions board have be* n concen- > trating their energies ou toenttag | adequate supplies and seeing that they are handy * The next thing lhe luanufac tur- ' era do is reach for the nearest catalog and start ordering machine, toola. Naturally, they want the mai chines delivered early that after-' noon so that Ibey can go to work turning the raw materials into detense materials When hundred* of | niauufaclurer* all start doing the . aain<- thing. It is obvious lhe ma ■ chine tool Industry can't deliver. It takes sometime* mouth* to build one of these tuois which can turn out hundred* of perfect item* an j hour, when it gets going Therefore one of the commls- ' lion's jobs has been lo set up preference classifications for delivery of these machine tool orders. It work* out something like thia. A contrac t is let for a battleship The shipbuilding company wants mac hines to cut up the ateel platI :ng for the ship's bottom At the I same time, the subcontractor who

i I* tnak.ng steel panels for the radio seta to go on the ship wants a situ-1 liar type of machine to cut up the' steel sheet* in the radio panel* Thst Is pretty easy to settle be- ' c ause the rsdio sets won't be need- | ed until lhe ship is completed, but the plates tor the ship * bottom are needed right here and now Bo the commission * problem is to meet with the manufacturer of radio panels They show him he can de J liver ou time If he doesn’t get hl* machine toooi factory can produce mac hine* tor turning out the ship's bottom now. when they are needed When that I* flalshed. they get to work on the machine* for the next section scheduled tor delivery Bo tar ft is pretty simple But the manufacturers of aircraft and the manufacturers of tanks, aud ' the manufacturers of gun* and the manufacturer* of part*, all want their machine* delivered for their separate order* Then the commission ha* to meet with the army and the navy and discuss priorities within the service* a* to which type of arm* are needed first and in what quantities The commls sion in turn meets first with the manufacturers of planes, tanks. I and guns and help* work out th* schedules with them. Finally the commission meet* with machine ■ i tool manufacturers and work* out - the schedule* for producing ma--1 chine tool* for the manufacturer* ; who will produce the actual arm* The commission, with the army ' | and navy munitions board, haa already worked out a system of preference claaslflcatloiis designed to Indicate the order In which the i army and uavy require contract* to be executed by industry Eac h ord er will have a preference claaslßcatiem assigned by the monition* board. The date set for delivery - will be the primary consideration ’ If the contractor is concerned that he won't get hi* material* in time to make the delivery date, the com mission, the army and navy, will > take ac tion to see that he doe* A survey disc losed that there I* no present nerd to invoke legal i authority to enforce priorities on

| defense orders The system will. ! be voluatsry sad depend* on complrte voluntary ooopeiptton of gov ernmect and industry. The iotw-| mlssi.'H favor* lOßimuah.e of the voluntary system until B appear* that more authoritative measures are necessary. The i 'oitiwlitk’ii **nl* i‘* Hi? • r j sere a* little »• pwMtbb- with the normal flow of business In the country And to thst end tb*y went to see thst the defense orders do not cut off supplies of material* that we use in our daily W«- Dut 1 In aome cases II may be necessary to work out some plan* for mini | mum re-tooling Thl* is not .-»■ j petted to ateet new models u<>w on the way. for those orders were placed months sgo The mat htnr* are being delivered But the whole jigsaw pussle on machine tools ha* to be pieced together into a complete picture and It tacks »om•westing to do It.
