Nelson May Order More Home Goods
Washington July 10 The War Production Board may override military objections and allow civilian goods production under Nelson May's orders. Associates say he will not back down from the announced program to reroute men machines and material from munitions to consumer goods while the war continues. Nelson, recovering from pneumonia, could return to duty in ten days to two weeks. The joint Army Navy chiefs of staff released a letter by Adm William D Leahy opposing orders seen as hampering war material output. Nelson adherents said the plan aimed to permit limited civilian production and ensure manpower stayed out of war production.
