SON MAY TAKE

MORE WAR POWER

to Be Revised or Junked,

Present Priorities System

Associates Say; Scheduling of Production Next Step “in ‘Get Tough’ Policy of WPB Chief.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29 (U. P.).—War Production Chief Donald M. Nelson today planned to take over much of the production scheduling powers which have been exercised exclusively by the armed services as the second step in his recently enunciated “get tough” The action, which may be taken within the next week “or 10 days, would go far beyond the withdrawal of the

services’ priority powers which Mr. Nelson had announced effective Sept. 7. It - would provide what officials called “finger tip” controls by WPB over the flow of mate-

* rials. . Officials said the projected move might be the first step in a general ‘yevision, or even junking of the entire present priorities system. Possible transfer of several thou- : ‘sand field representatives of the army and navy to supervision by ‘the war production board or some Joint WPB-armed services group is under study. They added that the action would

prevent stockpiling of parts, posgible now under the present priorities requirements plan, and would insure use of scarce materials in

production of items for the battle . fronts as rapidly as possible. Such ‘materials under the present system frequently go into inventories for production scheduled several months 4n the future. The move, it was explained, would not only give WPB control over the ‘ flow of materials but would give it supervision over production which it bas not exercised recently. The new WPB scheduling powers, which would be imposed on top of the present priorities requirements plan for the time being, would be similar in some respects to a proposal submitted by officials of the General Motors Corp. for a new “war scheduling agency.” Officials pointed out that the present uncertain set-up for scheduling made it possible for some manufacturers of war items to get ahead of anticipated production and stock up on parts which simply used up materials without increasing the current flow of items for the battle

WPB' officials opposed the warrant system as involving too much paper work.

To enforce the scheduling program, WPB proposes to. make spot checks on industry to see that inventories of parts are not being built up and to prevent other vio-

Kanzler, who is in charge of WPB'S program progress. Labor's representatives in recent weeks have demanded a more efficient use of materials in plants turning out war goods. Officials said the proposed new scheduling plan would make this possible. Excessive inventories in parts for war goods would be cut down to the]. minimum, they said, releasing scarce

WHEAT AND RYE| ADVANCE CENT

“As Commodity Credit

Takes Control.

CHICAGO, Aug. 29 (U. P).— Wheat and rye futures closed with gains of around one cent a bushel after a session of irregular price movements on the board of trade today. Wheat gained 3 cent a bushel; corn was off % to up %; oats unchanged to off %; rye gained J to 1;, and soybeans were off %. ? Soybeans, the problem crop, marked time awaiting the outcome of government action in giving the Commodity Credit Corp. control over purchase, storage and crushing. Philip R. O'Brien, board of trade] president, said before a joint CCC and war production board committee yesterday that the order giving the CCC control of the crop places the producer and his product, the acreage and price, within the power of the CCC.
