War Production Board Plans Free Civilian Output After Germany Defeat
Washington outlined a plan to lift controls on civilian manufacture after Germany falls. J A Krug said wartime limits will end promptly once Japan is defeated, allowing makers to produce cars, appliances, and more to maximize postwar employment. A 40 percent wartime cut and 4 million workers freed are anticipated, with a 46 percent cut possibly boosting civilian output by about 30 percent. The WPB will assist industry, maintain essential wartime allocations, and keep its powers until victory over Japan is assured.
