The problem is serious. Murray's statement ‘scarcely evoked a mild ho-hum in official ‘Washington, but some key men in the war effort are privately wor- ried dizzy about unemployment attendant on shifts in war produc- tion emphasis. Lessons learned in actual com- Bat cause changes in production scheduling. If fighting shows that Item A is of doubtful value in the field, and we already have scads of Item. .A..awaiting ship- ment, it’s likely that outstanding contracts for Item A will be can- celed. There is also the factor that some easy-to-produce munitions and supplies are being turned out far in excess of available shipping and storage space. (Some ammuni- tion, powder and automotive equipment items have been men- j t | tioned as well ahead of current } and foreseeable needs). When these contract cancella- tions hit plants in bustling indus- trial centers, it doesn’t pose much of a problem. Local labor is so scarce in these critical centers that a laid-off workman can go to work as soon as he sees a person- nel manager in any one of a dozen neighboring plants. Alsolated Industries It's not so simple when cancel- lation hits a plant isolated geo- graphically. (Many of our new Powder and munitions plants were deliberately constructed miles from anywhere). Theoretic- ally, they could be absorbed in the man-hungry industrial areas, but housing is a stumbling block Housing facilities are gravely strained in the major production centers. Coincident with the de-empha- sis in some over-produced muni- 116ns lines, there is increased em- phasis on stepping up production of others. The joint New Year statement of WPB-War-Navy mentioned merchant ship escort ship and plane production as evening motion picture made * desirable to have a special movie night on Wednesday, “House of the Seven Gables” was shown.
