Drastic New Move Ordered to Hold Civilian Production
The War Production Board issued a drastic new order dated December seven that freezes civilian production at current levels to curb labor movement from war plants to peacetime work while vital weaponry and materials are in demand. The plan allows limited expansion only if clearly below essential elements, and maintains the spot program for civilian goods with restrictions in areas of labor scarcity. The move aims to meet essential war needs without increasing civilian output.
