a WPB Head Says Civilians Won't Suffer Because of

War Production.

WASHINGTON," Jan. 19 (U, P.). ~—Fears that the civilian economy is in for a severe jolt because of soaring. military requirements were quieted ‘today by official assurances that America’s vast industrial facili

ties can meet both war demands and the essential needs of the folks at home. : War Production Board Chairman * J. A. Krug, said it was inevitable that new demands for war material ‘would cut into civilian ‘producttion but added that “there is no great danger that civilians will be pressed for things they really need.” “But,” he added, “we'll have to put more pressure on less cisential activities to get more war production.”

.Came as Surprise The WPB chairman's statefient, made before a press conference late yesterday, came as a surprise to some quarters which had interpreted his recent action curtailing output of reconverted industries as a prelude to wholesale cutbacks in other non-military items.

In the past two months, WPB has |

taken several steps to keep production of non-war goods from en- | croaching on facilities and manpower needed for the war effort. They included the freezing of all| givilian production at the level of’ output during the last three months of 1944 but officials pointed out that more civilian goods were turned out then than during any similar period since Pearl Harbor.

Less Than One Per Cent

While WPB also rendered inef- | fectual further use of the so-called | “spot” plan for making reconversion | goods, it was pointed out that this | type of production constitutes con- | siderably less than one per cent of the $95,000,000,000 civilian economy. | Krug did not mihimiZ® the mag-| nitude of the war production job ahead and underlined th2 fact that civilian manufacture” will be sacri-| ficed wherever necessary to get the needed war goods. The impact cf the Increased war | needs means, among other things: That there probably will be no more | liquor ‘ holidays” for the rest of} the year: that new plants may have to be built for th2 manufacture of . high-octane gasoline, and that the army mus: furlough soldiers to help supply the 5000 extra men needed | in sheet aluminum vlants.
