Army contracts for overcoat cloth cancelled
The Army cancelled about 4,000,000 yards of Melton overcoat cloth affecting Virginia Woolen Company and Winchester Woolen Company. It also reduced overcoat production and deferred blanket and shirting deliveries. Military demand will fall from 60 to about 25 percent of wood goods output through year end, boosting civilian woolen production. Virginia Woolen continues blanket material work. Clear Brook Woolen reports no impact yet. The AP notes easing of the 100 percent worsted output freeze may boost civilian goods by year end.
