U. S. Munitions Output Not Impressive Despite Rise
War Production Board chair Donald M. Nelson said August munitions output rose eight percent from July but called it not something to brag about. He noted a 14 percent lag against early August forecasts while aircraft, ordnance, shipbuilding, and other munitions posted modest gains. The WPB total output and war construction reached about 4.7 billion dollars with the index up 17 points to 337. Nelson urged tighter scheduling, inventories, and material allocations as the fourth quarter begins, predicting U S production may surpass Axis Europe with further plant gains and construction.
