dustrial production and national income will be halted early in 1946 with the gross

national output leveling off at a rate of around $155,000,000,000 a year. WPB sald the war peak “was $207,000,000,000 a year ‘and the 1030 rate was $88,500,000,000 a year. Krug's forecasts were made in his final report in which he reviewed America's industrial contribution to its world war II victory and painted an optimistic picture of reconvergion and the future generally, The WPB will be ended Nov. 3 and | Krug will leave government. A civil{an production agency will succeed .WPB.

ment spending for war purposes is! expected to be offset by expansion of civilian goods production so that early in that year capital expenditures will be gaining in momentum. Munitions production already has been cut 85 to 90 per cent, and eivilian production in some lines is already picking up. He thought it was “safe” to conclude that unemployment now 1s “close to, if not al~ ‘ready at, its peak.” “That does not mean that unemployment has passed its peak, since it is not expected that employment wil] pick up in the near future as fast as men are released from the armed services” he sald. “But there is every prospect that by spring the situation will be reversed and unemployment will deeline.”

» ” » THE WPB chief declined to estimate what the peak of unemployment would be. But, he said, if “adequate allowance” ig made for withdrawals from the labor force of servicemen's wives, other women who sought temporary war work, and youngsters who return to school, the prospect “does not just{fy the more pessimistic of the forecasts which have been widely publicized.” Labor force withdrawals might total 4,000,000, he said. “ “The big question mark” Krug said, “and the key to how fast total reconversion will proceed, is in the consumer durable goods Mmdustries, particularly the automotive indus try ”

— He said frankly that it was diffieult to prediet automobile production “until phe Detroit labor situation clarifies.” When Japan sur-| rendered, he said, manufacturers boosted their goals to 224,000 cars for December and 504,000 for June, 1046. These figures. compare with the monthly rate of 314,000 in 1041, » » ¥ “S80 FAR they have made only a . start” he continued, “In July, when ~ the first new autos rolled off the . lines, only one company was in production and it turned out only 350 cars. In August, it is estimated that the industry's production was about 4000. “Even without the strikes which have occurred, it would have required Herculean efforts to reach the December rate of 324,000." For other consumer durable goods “where labor difficulties have been less widespread, the prospect is brighter,” he sald, although their total output is “dwarfed” by the automobile industry's potential,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 (U.P.).— The Reconstruction Finance Corp. sald today that the government owned Higgins Micheaud plant in New Orleans will not be declared surplus until the army is “completely through with it.” An RFO official said Higgins AirLeraft, Inc, had “shown an interest in the property,” but that there have been no actual negotiations.

Part of this space has been used by the air foree and*ordnance. The remainder was reserved for surplus storage use by the commerce department and RFC,
