Nelson Expects No Clothes Rationing
Washington report on February 12 quotes War Production Board chair Donald Nelson as saying that $80 billion in war materials will limit civilian production and may force rationing of clothing. He warned 1.8 million new war workers and 4.3 million more in the armed forces could curb nonessential industries, possibly delaying clothing supplies. Nelson indicated no current plans for clothing rationing, expressing hope to stretch by months end if civilian production falls short. He questioned 4.3 million armed forces plus 1.8 million new workers dictating 3.2 million civilian cutbacks, citing unemployment in clothing centers as a constraint.
