War Production
War Production Chairman Nel-
son asked war workers to stop
taking an extra day off and to re-
train from "quickie” strikes over
minor grievances because such ab-
sences slow production. He said

not nearly good enough. The Pres-
ident by Executive Order prohibit-
ed payment of “penalty double-
time” pay for work on Saturdays.
Sundays and holidays, but per-
mitted payment of double-time for
the seventh consecutive day’s work
and of time-and-a-half for all ov-
ertime work after 40 hours a week.
Under Secretary of War Patter-
son said U. S. plane production In
August was greater than that of
Germany. Italy, and Japan com-
bined and tank production, al-
ready at an impressive high, will
b? twice as great in December.
Labor Supply
WPB Chairman Nelson ordered
a 48-hour work-week established in
lumber camps and sawmills in the
