INDUSTRY GETS GREEN LIGHT;
MOST WPB CONTROLS SLASHED
Washington.—The War Produc
• tion Board today gave industry a
free hand —almost —to produce for
peacetime. Auto makers were told
they can go the limit.
All but 40 of the 400 WPB con
trols will be wiped out by next Mon
day. And those 40 will be only temp
orary.
This was announced by Chairman
J. A- Krug at a news conference
where he issued the WPB’s detailed
plait for reconversion of war in
dustry.
lite agency removed bars front
makers of durable goods. It also
opejved the way for a great program
of plant construction
Krug declared the WPB is "not
going to do a lot of hand-waving
frotn Washington.'’
He said the job must be done by
thousands and thousands of busi
nessmen all over the country.
"Our policy is to encourage them
by {taking off controls," he said.
“We stand ready to help them when
they run into difficulties. But we
are.not taking on the job of decid
ing what products Will be made and
hoW they will be distributed.’’
Krug said most, of the $32,000,000,- '
COO in war contracts that are still
undelivered will be cancelled.
He disclosed that the vast muni
tions program—which has totaled
about $34,500,000,000 for the first
eight months of the year—will total
only $3,900,000,000 during the last
four months, September through
December.
Krug also gave the prospects In:
the rest of 1945 for certain articles'
that consumers want. For example:'
Riechanical refrigerators— Third
quarter 125,000; fourth quarter 700.- ’
000.
Washing machines —Third quar
ter. .50.000; fourth quarter, 500,000. -j
Sewing machines—Third quarter. |
10,000; fourth quarter, 75.000.
The WPB chief said most mater- j
lals now "will be running out of i
cur , ears.”
He said a man could almost count I
on his gingers the items that will !
stay in short supply for a consid-j
erable period. As examples he named j
tin, crude rubber, lumber, certain t

textiles, hard fibers.
Controls will be kept on such
' items as these until shortages loosen
or until there is no longer any dang
er of a "scramble” for these mater
ials, according to the reconversion
plan which Krug issued in mimeo
graphed form.
Inventory controls will be retain
ed "until the danger of hoarding,
pre-emptive buying and stock-piling
by the few at the expense of the
many is over.”
The WPB summarizes its plan in
.tight points:
1. Cancel soon all but a handful
|of controls.
j 2. Release a “huge” industrial
J building program by relaxing in
dustrial construction controls. This
j relaxation is already in effect. Con
trols on non-industrial construction
| may be lifted shortly.
3. Remove ceilings on production
of autos and other consumer dura
ble goods. These industries nosr may
go ahead—all out. Krug refused to
estimate how many automobiles will
be produced in the rest of this year
but said he personally believes the
| manufacturers will be able to turn
out mure than the 250,000 which
j were authorized when ceilings were
i in effect. He remarked that most of
the manufacturers expressed doubt
that they can overcome difficulties
last enough to expand the 250.000
: figure.
4. Keep controls temporarily on
scarce materials.
5. Keep preferential protection of
| small business for the time being
j “until the effects of cut-backs can
(be appraised and it is safe to re-'
I move them."
7. Keep WPB s powers for break
ing bottlenecks or giving protection
—if needed—to military or highly
essential civilian or export needs.
| These powers . will be used “only
where necessary." and “business
, should not rely on priorities help
| for conducting its normal activities "
I 8. The WPB will take •“vigorous
! action" to expand production of
{scarce materials to meet civilian
{demands.

Highway Speed To
Be Increased
Raleigh—Maj. H. J. ■ Doggie>
Hatcher, commander of the North
Carolina State Highway Patrol, will
recommend to Governor Cherry and
the Council of State that the pres
ent 35-inile per hour speed limit
in the State be increased by only
10 miles an hour.
The major said yesterday he con
sidered the pre-war limit of 60
miles per hour too high "even in
normal times.” In the immediate
postwar period, such a limit "cer
tainly would produce tragic re
sults," he added, “considering the i
condition of a majority of the au
tomobiles-, xuaw being driyem," j.
The df State "probably ;
will act on lifting the wartime
speed limit before the Fall holiday !
period. The 35-mile per hour figure '
was set by the Governor under l
emergency powers given by the Leg- j
islature.
Hatcher also said that he expects
about 80 highway patrolmen now in
the armed forces to return to their
jobs. The patrol, with a normal
complement of 213. Was reduced
during the war to a present force of
about 150. {'
