During the course of the com- mittee’s cross-examination, Senators ! asked Patterson about the powers | of dynamic Charles E, Wilson, form- ed héad of General Electric, who! has put new blood into the WPB and pepped up production as never before. ' Patterson testified that when it came to aircraft, escort vessels, radio and radar, Wilson had complete production powers over the Army or anyone else. Patterson was prob- ably opposed to taking additional powers away from the Army and glving them to Wilson, but on these | vital weapons — escort vessels, air- | craft, radio and radar—he said Wil- 'son was supreme. Patterson was questioned at some length about this and seemed ab~ solutely sure of his facts. He even said that he personally as Under Secretary of War could not overrule Wilson and the WPB on escort ves- sels, aircraft, radio and radar pro- duction. “But after the session adjourned and Under Secretary Patterson had gone back to the War Department, he télephoned to the Truman Com- | mittee. “17ind T was mistaken about part ! he said and went | of my testimony,” on’to explain that Wilson did not have complete power over the Army when it came to production. NOTE: The Truman Committee members assumed that when Pat- terson got back to the War Depart- ment, either he or Col. Brown con- ferred with Gen. Somervell. WILSON ON THE JOB Meanwhile, refreshing, hard-hit- ting Charlie Wilson is propesing to use his alleged powers to put through airplane production wheth- er'the’' Army thinks he has them or not. v In- a conference not long aro, Army chiefs demanded that addi- tional new airplane factories be, built immediately. Wilson demurred. He pointed out that new factories required more steel, more strategic metals of every kind that the Navy was demanding for cruisers, escort vessels, transports. He said he want- ed to examine the aircraft situation and see if increased production could not be achieved without building ' new factories. which the fact that if we are going to buy bonds we standard of living we could buy We will also remember that two years ago wa we must continue We must continue to buy War Bonds. | restaurants going holding.

This was |largely due to poor scheduling of materials, so that factories were forced to close down waiting for| materials. This is a problem Wilson | has said must be in the hands of production experts rather than Army officers. | He has now jumped in to remedy the situation and aircraft produc- tion is’already beginning to zoom. LOUIS XV FOR PANAMA With the United States Govern- | ment fighting on vital fronts| | throughout the world, worried ovm'v ithe problems of taxation, gasoline, | foil, and keeping millions of |)euple' jwarm, the State Department has 'gone to bat with the War Produc- tion Board over the urgent and vital | question XV furniture, These bedsprings and furniture, | the State Department contefids, are absolutely essential to the conduct | of harmonious relations wilh the | Republic of Panama. Without bed- springs, it is inferred, our relations with Panama might break down. This has been made a matter of official record through letters sent to the War Production Board by no 1less than an Assistant Secretary of | State, Howland Shaw, who demands priorities for shipping bedsprings, tapestries and period furniture to! equip the American Embassy in Pan- | ama. Regardless of the needs of the | American Army in Panama or the difficulty of shipping goods through | the submarine infested Caribbean, or | the risk of American seamen, the | State Department demands that| these bedsprings, tapestries and | period furniture reach Panama im- | mediately. At first the War Production Board turned the request down. Then As- stant Secretary Shaw came back with a second request supported by an elaborate letter “The furniture consists of a great | number of period designs,’ Mr. Shaw wrote, “selected in connection with the furnishing of Legation residences abroad, to be executed in accordance | | with special designs and specifica- tions. Particular care is taken to specify the upholstery methods and materials based on practical ex- perience to insure long-wearing of bedsprings and Louis | “rest lea radio has it when it comes to sinking American ships. the shortage iwas a Chinese laundryman, | declared eagerly that he would fol- | low ceiling | | prices. | thodox States forces in Britain are now underging a strenu- “commando course,” according to a Reuter’s dis- The pigeons are given medica " like other troops. on. all over the Jap Navy of razor blades, how are to cut the ham for sandwiches? portance, but in addition they must have a relation to the architectural treatment of the room itself. In view of the fact that the particular Embassy (Panama) for which the furniture is intended is located in strategic Central America, a country the United States is vitally inter- ested in, not merely by exhibiting the basis of our manufacturing skill, but also from the point of view of i the importance the Embassay will exert in Inter-American relations, the entire furnishing scheme ought to be of high standard without the use of untried substitutes or com- mercial stock items. “The department. is aware of the necessity of limiting the use of scarce materials, yet, on the other hand, the important functions of the Em- bassy are a cause for consideration in . determining-, the mezxit of ap- plication.” (IINESE CEILING PRICES In Arlington, across the river from Washington, a group of merchants met to receive instructions from OPA officials about ceiling prices. | Most cooperative of the merchants who insructions fo, post OPA officials made an inspection tour _of Arlington shop a few. days later.
