Defense program may pinch car and appliance supply
Washington reports the defense mobilization progressing at about a billion dollars monthly may soon tighten civilian supply of cars and refrigerators. Charles E. Wilson and Charles B. Stauffacher warned shortages could begin this year with a peak in military output within two years and civilian production resuming later. Wilson backed by President Truman said civilian goods will be strained but essential defense needs justify the shift. Labor Dept data shows job placements tied to defense needs hit a record, while CED urged wage and price controls with quarterly adjustments to curb inflation.
