ON PRODUCTION WPB Wants Armed Services Limit 43 Output to 80 Billion Program.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (U. P)— The war production board is seek-
ing in conferences with leaders of
the armed services to put a temporary $80,000,000,000 ceiling over the 1043 munitions program, it was
learned today. That expenditure, it was understood, would not include the cost of expanding or building new -facilities. But it would cover the cost of all combat materials—planes, tanks, ships, guns and bullets. : The ‘armed services originally wanted a $90,000,000,000 program, officials said. But it was reported that they were giving ground before WPB arguments that their demands should be limited to correspond with available supplies of materials and manpower. Under the WPB plan, the program would be enlarged in proportion to the increase in supplies of manpower and materials. The services would continue to say how many tanks, guns and ships they want produced in 1943, and WPB would continue to supervise produc= tion and scheduling. There would be no change in plans -to eoncentrate on the output of airplanes, merchant ships, escort vessels and self-propelled artillery.

Nikola Tesla "Father of Radio,’
NEW YORK, Jan. 8 (U. P)—
Nikola Tesla, 86, the electrical
genius who discovered the fundamental principle of modern radio,
{was found dead in his hotel room
last night.
He died in day. The ma
sometime yesterwho cleaned his
room every day found the body. Gaunt in his best years, he had
lately been wasting away.
Tesla never married. He had al-|
ways lived alone, and the hotel management did not believe he.had any near relatives. : Despite his more than 700 inventions. he was not wealthy. He cared little for money, and so long as he could experiment was happy. Much of the time, he did not even have a laboratory. He was the first to ‘conceive an effective method of - utilizing sclternating current, and in 1888 patented the induction motor, which converted electrical energy into mechanical energy more effectively and economically than by direct current.
