production of fighting e from 30 million dollar to more announced today,

weapons and machine tools has shown that both the larger and smaller war plants in this area, together with management and employees, are doing a magnificent job for our ‘war efforts. In this war of supply power against supply power, it is absolutely necessary that the industrial forces of this district and this country produce at even a greater rate.” "The overall value of prime contracts in the whole Cincinnati ordnance district has now reached $1,205,500,000, representing a 540 per cent increase since Pearl Harbor. There are now 1839 prime contracts, three-fourths of which are with smaller war plants employing less than 500 employees.

‘New Weapons Developed

The district ‘has shipped a total of 541,973 tons of war équipment since Pearl Harbor, including machine tools, ammunition, small arms, tanks, armored vehicles, shells, bombs and guns. To ship this 18,-

needed. This equipment “now is‘ and has been for some time in the hands of our fighting troops throughout the world,” Col. McMahon said. He added that new weapons and new materials are being developed in many of the area’s plants. The Cincinnati ordnance district includes the lower half of Ohio and Indiana, all of Kentucky and Tennessee.

CORN PRICES FIRM:

CHICAGO, April 168 (U. P.).— Grain futures scored fractional gains on the board of trade today, and corn ruled firm at new OPA levels. In early dealings wheat was up % to % cent a bushel; corn unchanged, oats up % to %, and rye up % to %. In the May options wheat was up % from 142%; corn unchanged from 105, oats up % from 61% and rye up % from 82%. Fewer offerings of May corn were available than in the last two days and numerous orders to buy were in the market. A moderate amount of old crop contracts changed hands at the ceiling price.

ICKES ASKS 35 CENT OIL PRICE INCREASE

WASHINGTON, April 18 (U. P.). —Petroleum Administrator Harold L. Ickes told the Patman small business committee ‘today he. had

recommended a general average increase of 35 cents per barrel on the price of crude oil but that Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown has not yet answered his letter. Ickes said he wrote the etter on April 7. Earlier, Brown had withheld comment when questioned about possible boosts in petroleum prices. He said, however, that he believed President Roosevelt's recent antiinflation order left the way open for price increases which would aid in prosecution of the war. ' Both Brown and 6 Sumner Pike, OPA fuel price director, refused to talk about the Ickes letter. Pike, however, testified that he believed! oil producers were getting “a fairly, good price.” Brown told the colnmitice he believed present oil shortages were due more to transportation than production difficulties. Ickes testified that “a price increase might encourage the digging of wells and a greater production of oil.”
