U. S. Industrial 'Guns' Draw Bead on Axis
BY RICHARD WRIGHT
\yASHINGTON ( Special)
* * America in the decisive year
of J 942 is determined to outpro
duce the world.
President Roosevelt set this goal
in his message to Congress on the
State of the Union--60.0u0 planes.
45.000 tanks, 20,000 anti-aircraft
guns, 8.000,000 tons of merchant
vessels.
Achievement of the production
goal is promised in statements of
many key business leaders.
To the automobile industry, has
fallen the task of out-producing
the enemy in tanks, guns, planes,
motors and even artillery shells.
Unmatched throughout the
world as a producer of cars and
trucks, the industry nas been call
ed upon to act with driving haste
in gearing itself to the production
of vital war materials
At the beginning of 1942 the
government has placed approxi
mately $4,000,000,000 of war con
tracts with motor car manufac
turers ? a clear implication, in the
words of J. W. Frazer. president of
Willys - Overland Motors. Inc.,
that America regards the industry
as the keystone of the arsenal of
democracy. His company, inci
dentally, designed and is produc
ing thousands of those little quar
ter-ton trucks, affectionately call
ed "jeeps" by the froops.
While the auto-makers will be
increasingly occupied during the
year fabricating war machines, the
airplane builders are scheduled to
turn out more aircraft than any
other nation, and more than the
combined output of many Axis
controlled countries. The Aero

The War Production Board has ?
limited future expansion of telephone
equipment and service. Tho order !
will affect Southern Bell's operations '
in this area, Manager W. L. Lampkin j
said today, but does not apply to ex
pansion now in progress. Mr. Lamp
kin added:
"We will comply with the order by j
doing our utmost in every respect to
achieve the desired results in saving
materials. "We will endeavor to ad
minister the order as equitably as
possible and with the least Inconven
ience to the public.
"All types of Instruments and ser
services will not be available as here
tofore. The public, however, has al
ways cooperated in getting the best
possible service out of the available
facilities .and a continuation of the
cooperation will be doubly helpful In
these times."

estimates that during 1941 plane I
production reached Si.5tio.UUU. 000. 1
an increase of almost one billion
over 1;>40.
An important goal already
achieved in the country's all-out
war etlort is production by the
. Aluminum Company of America
at a raie several times that of
1938, last full peacetime year. In
1942 completion of plants now un
der construction will lift Amer
ica's aluminum output to a level
well above that of all Axis coun
tries Most of Alcoa's $215,000.
000 self-financed expansion pro
gram has already been completed,
according to Roy A Hunt, presi
dent. and the fruits of this labor
are even now making possible tre
mendous increase;, in production
of aircraft and othei vital ma
chines of war
On another front, the speed
with which we achieve final vic
tory will bv acccleialed by the
nation's ability to supply the foods
essential to national health, in the
opinion of John A. Hartford, pres
ident of Great Atlantic & Pacific
Tea company. This means that
food distributors, says Mr Hart
ford. have a grave responsibility
to redouble their efforts to reduce
the cost of moving merchandise
from producer to consumer
"Agriculture," he points out, "is
prepared to produce a greater
quantity of foodstuffs than ever;
and I am confident that all distrib
utors will cooperate with farmers
all over the country to assure or
derly marketing of produce, to
eliminate spoilage, and waste mo
tion."
Not all products are going to be
produced in greater volume this
year.

In home preserving win relieve pres
sure on commercial cumen.
Rubber tires, for example, have
been rationed. Consequently, the
first major job assigned to Amer
ica's war-time citizenry is conser
vation of rubber. What can be ac
complished is emphasized by John
L Collyer. president of B. F
Goodrich company, who states
that, "if each of America's 30,000,
000 motorists would see to it that
he gets 10 per cent more mileage
cut of his present tires, the annu
al requirement of rubber for cars
and trucks alone could be reduced
as much as 30,000 tons "
Meanwhile, steps are being tak
en to augment our rubber sources
in this hemisphere, says Mr.
Collyer, whose company 18
months ago offered the public the
first tire of synthetic rubber.
Industry's ingenuity is typified
by the achievement of the distill
ers. Last year few guessed that a
serious bottleneck in munitions
might be averted because of the
ability of this industry to make
ethyl alcohol for smokeless pow
der. Yet, according to L. S. Ros
enstiel, chairman of Schenley Dis
tillers corporation, the industry is
already producing about 93,000,
000 proof gallons of ethyl alcohol
Also, he reports, the alcoholic
beverage industry is the largest
industrial tax source, pouring on?
billion dollars annually into the
federal treasury
Thus, briefly, expressions of in
dustrial leaders of the nation re
flect confidence that Americans
have the knowledge, ability and
courage to fight to ultimate vic
tory, to win the battles on the in
dustrial fronts, and more import
ant, to win the peace .after tlv
