Condition as Well as Size Of Inventories Causes Defense Worry.

By JOHN W. LOVE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—That practice sweetly known as protective buying, but more often brutally called hoarding, has the industrial end of the defense organism worried

here, especially because it has no

clear remedy in mind. The Army, the Navy and manufacturers for defense orders and for purely civilian markets, especially the latter, have unconsciously cooperated to bring considerable sections of industry to the verge of shutdown. Much has been written of these excess inventories on one hand and the OPM'’s priorities on the other, but little has been said concerning a couple of rather baffling and

‘4 | ominous characteristics of the latest fix that industrial business is in.

Everybody knows how it all came about: Hearing of growing shortages, a great many manufacturers in the metal industries tried to buy ahead, even many of those with defense orders, not fully relying upon assurances that the priorities system would take care of them. Had everybody been able to buy in well-proportioned amounts the result would not have been so bad,

‘I for manufacturers could then have

gone on using up what they had. They'd have been able to produce until all the materials were gone.

Badly Overbalanced

But, to the horror of the OPM, it been discovered that the inventories in this country are badly

* |overbalanced, and the result is that

the industrial tieup, or constipation, is more widespread and serious than it was first supposed to be. All it consists of is this: One manufacturer is short of one thing and long of another, while his competitor is just the reverse. But the condition adds up to a great deal more than that. It's as if one brewer had too many bottles and no caps, and another had all the caps and no bottles.

+ | Neither knows the other is in trou-

ble, and if he did he'd fight to keep from giving up anything. Both are on the point of laying off employees and the city is about to run out of beer. The trouble is not in beer or in bottles (though there may be a lit-

.|tle of it in bottle caps)—it's scat-

tered through the metal industries, in innumerable and far more complicated ways than the little illustration above. Take a hundred

: metals or alloys and thousands of

manufacturers and the possibilities of confusion and slowdown begin to be clear. OPM Asks Data

The OPM has been collecting some information on the size ot industrial inventories and is about to bring in a great deal more—on the 65,000 questionnairies which were mailed to manufacturers a week or so ago. Now the OPMers begin to sus-

i| pect the trouble is not so much in

the size of the inventories as in thair shape. Not only are these in disproportion and unbalance but they are to a large extent in the goods in process within a plant, or in the “float” of materials through the shop. These are the reasons the figures for inventories in the factories of this country do not reflect the true They help explain why sO many concerns apparently are getting to the point of closing down when the reports coming into Washington concerning inventories,

2|so far, do not show why such a

panic should exist. Far more materials than usual have been sopped up in the indus-

+l trial process. Part of the trouble

was that new products, like armament, take more materials at the start. But instances are ‘known of manufacturers cutting up all their materials as fast they received them, in order to fix the stuff so that no Government officer could requisition it for anybody else. This, if true, would help explain why nobody has yet been able to get at the seat of the trouble, either the investigators in the field or the OPM experts here in Washington.

Q—What is “Baseball Defense Bond Day?" A—Tomorrow, Thursday, Aug. 28, organized baseball will demonstrate its united support of the Defense Savings Program. In all major and minor league parks where games are scheduled, players, umpires and spectators will join in brief appropriate patriotic exercises to focus national attention on the important part which Defense Bonds and Stamps play in National Defense. Q—Is the Government concerned over whether I buy my Defense Savings Stamps at postoffices, banks, savings and loan institutions, retail stores, or elsewhere? A—No. The Government is in-

WHEAT PRICES NEAR '41 PEAK

Gain More Than One Cent a Bushel Before Turning Lower at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27 (U. P)—In one of the broadest trade witnessed in months, wheat prices on the Chicago Board of Trade today were hiked 1% cents a bushel to within fractions of the seasonal peaks before profit-taking halted the advance. At the end of the first hour wheat was 1 to 1's cents a bushel higher with September at $1.137s. Corn was up 1; to 3c; oats 3 to sc; rye up 3% to lc, and soy beans were 11: to 13%ic higher. Disinclination by the nation’s farmers to market newly harvested wheat appeared to be the principal stimulating influence. The strength

on the market at prevailing levels were added factors in the advance. Soy beans again made new tops for the season, reflecting the strength in cottonseed oil and other competitive products. The upturn carried prices nearly 2 cents above the preceding close before profittaking checked the upturn. Oats and rye borrowed firmness from the strength in wheat. All deliveries of oats established new seasonal peaks.

STOCKS IRREGULAR AFTER EARLY RISE

NEW YORK, Aug. 27 (U. P.).— afternoon dealings today after making small gains in the first two hours of trading. Volume tightened. General Motors dipped 1: point to 39% and small declines were noted in Douglas Aircraft, Du Pont, Phillips Petroleum, Southern Pacific, Standard Oil (N. J.), PepsiCola and Westinghouse Electric. American Can was up a point and Bendix up nearly a point. U. S. Steel and Bethlehem had small gains. Chrysler held a rise of 12 point at 57%. Some rails, coppers, and rubbers were firm. Utilities] were little changed on average.

sway prices and experts said traders were avoiding the list in advance of the Labor Day holiday. Volume to 1 . m, totaled 250,000 shares, against 300,000 shares in tHe corresponding ps<riod of the fy see session, Business held at high levels. Electricity output showed a rise of nearly 18 per cent over a year ago. Car loadings pointed higher and it was estimated the total for last week would be up about 10,000 cars from the previous week.
