Morgenthau Plan Rejected By Allied Leaders In Postwar Talks
London reports say Allied policy makers rejected Morgenthau’s plan to destroy German industry and purge populations. Germany would keep nonwar industries under strict control with a small occupation force, while not dismantling its economic base to prevent mass starvation. No purge of German civilians is planned, but punishment of war criminals remains.

War Output Up as WPB Reveals Higher B-29 Production
Washington reports five weeks of urgent front line appeals for munitions show clear gains in war output. B-29 production rose 38 percent in the last month and 15 defense programs are accelerating to meet military needs. Acting WPB Chairman Hiland Ezichelier said November output was wonderful yet requires tremendous future increases. He emphasized that Army and Navy requirements demand full use of resources and announced plans for up to 50 million dollars to build additional facilities to boost annual military production by 4,000 units, though these plants may not be ready before late next year. The notes reflect optimism amid ongoing wartime pressures and possible continued European operations into 1943.
