War shortages ease may curb civilian production rules
The committee advised limiting civilian output for manufacturers not in critical manpower shortage areas who have not secured war contracts. Early auto production is unlikely due to needs for heavier bombers, ships, and other war requirements. Some items like washing machines might be restricted due to material and motor needs amid ongoing wartime pressure. Russia reported Soviet planes sinking transports and a minesweeper near a German convoy in the Barents Sea, with implications for northern Finland.

Army withholds NATO pamphlet after Army buys copies
Committee members said the pamphlet had been banned from USO centers and distribution promoted by the CTO. Army spokesmen claimed it was not intended for general circulation among soldiers, but for officers teaching orientation courses as background material to refute Nazi superiority theories.
