WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 (4. P.) — Christmas tree markets this year are short of the little spruces from the,north woods that normally are their favorite offerings. Such trees as are available show a higher proportion of pines, red cedars and other species that the particular locality affords. This state of affairs is expected to last for the duration, There is no actual shortage of trees. Normally these little ever-

The freight cars in which they are usually brought to centers of population are needed nowadays for more serious jobs— guns and tanks moving toward the fronts, steel for ships, raw materials for thousands of war industries and food for the workers and soldiers. Trucks that take them from forest to railnead and from freight

to-go ahead and equip an army of 7,500,000 men, Undersecretary of War Robert ®. Patterson yesterday told the senate committee investigating: the war program, “Sure, it can be done,” he said in response to a question by Senator |, Ralph O. Brewster (R. Me.). Some persons had expressed doubt that it could be done without disrupting ‘civilian life too much. President Roosevelt ‘had previously indicated he had no patience with such views and that plans for an army of 7,500,000 remained unchanged. Patterson appeared before the committee in connection with -cur-|: rent ‘discussions of the issue of civilian versus military control of: production. He described as “fantastic” charges that the military is attempting to gain control of industry and the civilian economy.

Warns Against Transfer »

~ Patterson warned against transfer of control over production of muni- . tions from the armed services to a ; civilian agency, as has been pro‘by some. ‘ “Even if such a transfer were theoretically advisable and could be planned in time of peace, a change ‘would be disastrous now. The destruction of a going organization in favor of one untried and inexperi1] enced might ‘mean the loss of the

work in the air corps expansion program before he went overseas. He was cited for his “exceptional insight, organizing ability and thorough knowledge of aircraft production.

acquire $25,000,000,000 worth: of equipment of all kinds in 1942, compared with $5,000,000,000 worth - in 1941, and cited the success of this procurement program as a major reason why munitions purchasing * ghould remain in military hands. “Most of the ‘military’ were civilians two years ago,” he said, § adding that 19 out of 20 officers in ‘the army today “were in civilian life (§ two and one-half years ago.”

Must Conserve Manpower

® Discussing potential size of the army with reporters after the hearing ended, Patterson said the war § department is capable of building , up an army bigger than 7,500,000 men if the military need for such a force presents itself. “But we can’t afford to waste any "of our manpower or productive capacity,” he added. In his testimony Patterson em- ~ phatically opposed suggested legisla- , tion which would give a new civilian "agency direct and complete control of production of war materials. Such a move, he said, would take that control from experienced hands which have achieved a remarkable cord, would cause disastrous con- ~ fusion in the transfer of organization and would almost surely result in production of inferior weapons. The present, system, with procurement of weapons under military “ “control and materials and resources under civilians, is working satisfactorily and should be continued, he asserted. Pointing to the “two years of successful operation” under the present arrangement, Patterson said: “I believe in its continuance. We are not seeking new fields of endeavor.”
