War Production Board Abolishes Most Civilian Controls
The War Production Board announced a plan to scrap nearly all controls on civilian goods after Germany's defeat. Anticipating a 40 percent drop in war production, controls will remain only to supply necessities for victory over Japan. The program aims to speed reconversion, free millions of workers, and guide industry back to peacetime production with government aid while preserving essential war needs.
