Urges Greater Use Of Plants In Defense Program
At a Southern Furniture Manufacturers convention in Blowing Rock on June 6, Robert L. Mehorney urges keeping plants open 20 to 22 hours for defense material production. He cites a survey of 18,000 plants with only eight percent operating on multiple shifts. He notes 40 percent of 541 billion currently in the program has been placed and 12 percent paid, and compares U S efforts to Germany’s wartime spending to argue the program is just beginning.
