Government Clamps Down on Plants Unable to Turn Out War Materials
The War Production Board signals plants unable to shift to war output may receive little to no government assistance. Under Donald Nelson leadership, about 50 of 60 major industries face mandatory conversion to war production, with Detroit automotive patterning for nationwide changes. A first step halts new auto and light truck production from February 1, while civilian radio set output begins curtailment for a $2.006 billion military program. Rubber rules limit crude rubber and latex for civilian goods by February 1, with reclaimed rubber for select products allowed later. Textiles see burlap allocations and processing limits, as nations stockpile essential items for war needs.
