Production in October Off Says Nelson
Washington reports that overall munitions production in October rose 3 percent from September, the smallest monthly gain of 1942. Nelson cautioned against complacency, noting the need to accelerate output next year to meet ambitious objectives while avoiding further declines in the growth rate. He detailed category changes with planes down 5 percent, ordnance up 3 percent, navy and Army vessels up 7 percent, merchant ships down 10 percent but ahead of schedule, and other munitions up 1/2 percent. Despite October’s showing, U S production of combat armaments remained vastly higher than Axis powers, with aircraft, ordnance, naval ships, and merchant ships all substantially above 1941 levels.
