Show Calls Government Plant Sales Unrealistic If the government persists in "its present unrealistic policy" regarding re-garding the sale of defense plants, "it won't dispose of one-half of one per cent of its plants in 20 years," according to Frederick C. Crawford, chairman of the board of the National Association of Manufacturers. Mr. Crawford, president of the Thompson Products, Inc., Cleve-defense Cleve-defense plant, Thompson Aircraft land, said the government wants more money for his corporation's Products Co., than it cost when new. He also criticized the government's gov-ernment's formula for the sale of defense machinery, caying: "We have machines in that plant that are three years old, but they ' have been worked three shifts, seven days a week, and in terms of normal usage those machines ma-chines are 12 years old." |
