tJ » a IN NORTH AFRICA, he recalled, our forces expended 42,000 rounds of mortar ammunition a month. In 10 days in October, three U. 8. armies in France fired 1,300,000 rounds. Gen. Somervell acknowledged industry's great job in making 1,800,000 trucks and 68,000 tanks. Industry produces 2,800,000 big and medium guns and 15,000,000 machineguns and rifles, Production includes 43 billion rounds of ammunition and 43,400,000 bombs. Also produced have been 196 million uniforms and 187,000 planes. But, he said, U. 8, armies “are using some parts of our reserves faster than we can replace them.” : . ® » POINTING out that materiel saves lives, Gen.. Somervell cited what happened to the Russians when they had men but not weight of arms. According to ‘reports, the Russians paid for lack of materiel with 4,200,000 killed and missing between June, 1941, and June, 1943, x The general described how we were able to take Aachen with elalifer low casualties because

But he warned; “It's the future we must provide for.” . n= “IN SHORT,” he said, “industry, labor, the WPB, the war manwer commission and the army service forces are on the spot. “We, at home, are squarely up against the question of whether American productive capdcity can deliver the increased quantity of goods to fight the kind of war America has elected to fight. “We must determine whether we can deliver the goods wherever they are ‘needed, whenever they are needed, and in whatever quantities may be needed.” Gen, Somervell said, “We have explained our need. to our two great. labor organizations, .the A. PF, of L. and C. I. O. Both have responded whole-heartedly. They have provided prompt, organization of recruiting services to assist us in plugging the holes we need to fill.” » . ¥

THE APPEAL for help, Gen. Somervell asserted, was being directed especially to 300,000 needed workers in critical programs. It is directed to ex-war workers or those who hadn't been in war work at all. “Some of those we are seeking for this vital work,” he said, “are members of. the group of optimists who have already guessed that the war is about over.” “If everyone of these workers decides today to go back to the production front this week, it won't be long before Eisenhower and MacArthur will feel their support.”

The British officially intervened in Italian politics by opposing the inclusion of Count Carlo Sforza, noted Italian liberal, in the projected new Italian cabinet. Mr. Stettinius noted that the United States had never “in any way intimated” opposition to Count Sforza.

U.S. Move Seen Paving

ROME, Dec, 6 (U. P,).~—Left-wing political leaders predicted today that the U. 8. announcement of a hands-off policy in the Italian governmental crisis would pave the way for formation of a new cabinet with the British-vetoed Count Carlo Sforza as premier or foreign minister. The U. 8. state department's bombshell was hailed in leftist quarters as a complete vindication

“| British Refuse To End Sforza Ban

LONDON, Dec. 6 (U. P.)~Britain refused to withdraw its veto of Count Carlo Sforza as a member of the Italian government today. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, asked whether he would reconsider his condemnation of Sforza in the light of yesterday's statement by U. 8. Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius Jr., told commons: “I have nothing to add to my previous statement. I assure you my answers are reviewed up to the very last minute.”
