Wallace Says Jones Muffed War Program
Democratic senators took a hands off stance on the Wallace Jones flare up over the war material program. Senator Danaher urged a congressional inquiry into the background of yesterday's heated exchange, while Senator Ferguson saw possible value in such a probe. Republican voices pushed for investigation. Roosevelt blamed the press and radio for fueling the controversy among his aides. Open questions linger about the administration's handling of war materiel acquisition.

Steel Output Shows Effect of Coal Outs in War Valley
War-vital steel mills in southwestern Pennsylvania's Victory Valley operate at the lowest production in over three years due to the wildcat coal strike that has withheld millions of tons of coal and coke. Dow Jones puts production at 78 percent of capacity, down from 85 percent last week and 100 percent the week before. About 139,000 of 521,000 United Mine Workers members are idle today, with roughly 100,000 strikers in Pennsylvania. Officials plan a national campaign for 2,500,000 tons more steel in late 1943 while miners urged to return to work amid new appeals from UMW leaders.
