War Munition Production In Serious Drop
April munitions production was two percent under March despite a planned three percent rise. Output of items like landing craft heavy trucks tractors and heavy artillery ammunition reached the month's goal. War production chief Donald M Nett reported the April showing was near January levels and warned the year’s total output could fall billions short of 1924 military goals. He stressed the need for coordinated government labor and management efforts amid the downturn and outlined a new civilian production readjustment program led by Charles F Wilson under Nelson.
