WASHINOTON Jan 27 (UP) —The war production board tonight told the nation's 128000 "small" manufacturers that it does not intend to help them unless they engage in "essential" civilian or war production The blunt warning was sounded as the board announced a "simplified production requirement plan" designed to make it easier for small manufacturers to switch from nonessential production to war or other essential work It classified small manufacturers as those whose annual business volume is less than $100000 Help would be in the form of priority assistance granted on the basis of information provided in single-pag- e application blanks that would be filed quarterannually by applicants to the small business section production requirements branch war production board Washington The plan is aimed at marshaling the nations small manufacturing facilities for the all-owar effort The W P B made it clear that those who don't join in this effort will have to take their own chances "It is not intended to maintain nonessential industries when no effort is being made to tie production into the ' war program" a W P B statement said "The divlsion of industry operations may however be able to give priority assistance to small manufacturers under this plan to help them keep their organizations together while they are changing from nonessential civilian production to war or other essential -- work" The warning came as the National Small 1311Sine248 Men'a association in a statement issued at Chicago— advocated—among other intensified efforts for things widespread distribution of war orders among small business and the "fairest possible distribution of materials for production of civilian goods" to preserve small business Under the simplified W P B plan applicants for priority assistance will be asked to list the nature of products manufactured volume of business materials used number of workers and other basic facts customarily shown in records of manufacturers If priority assistance is granted the manufacturer will receive a certified copy which specifies the kinds and quantities of materials that will be available to him for use W P B officials said the plan

yet distant and passive the British government had been faced with the realities of actual conflict in Africa and in Russia and to these theaters it had diverted its major available troop strength and every ounce of material aid that could be spared "It follows" he explained "that we could only make partial provisión in the far east against the hypothetical' danger of a Japanese War Conduct Assailed The house required only f our hours to dispose of the bill which besides the $17722565474 in outright appropriations carried contract authorizations swelling the total to close to 20 billions for this year and next It contemplates navy spending at the rate of a billion dollars a month Sandwiched into the discussion of the appropriations measure itself was sharp criticism from the Republican side of the house over the conduct of the war from the date of the Pearl Harbor disaster to the landing Monday of an American force in northern Ireland But that attack brought a sharp

say it will be fought to the last inch by British Australian and Indian troops" The prime minister's speech ranged the whole world front— now offering encouraging words now warning that hard and painful blows were yet to fall on the allies—and in the end he went back to the only promise he ever had made to the British people on the war: "Blood toil tears and sweat" Demands Confidence Vote "It is because however I see a light gleaming behind the clouds and broadening upon our path that I make bold now to demand a declaration of confidence of the house of commons as an additional weapon in the armory of the united nations" The possibility that Australian alarm might become a powerful factor in the debate receded somewhat with the prime minister's announcement that not only Australia and New Zealand but Canada and South Africa would be given representation in the British war cabinet The prime minister declared his belief that the Japanese--"who- se game Is to make hell while the sun shines"—were more likely to try to consolidate their present positions than to undertake "a serious on Page Five) (Column Four) (Continucl Official Hints Seizure of Hoarded Sugar CHICAGO Jan Jan 27 (—

Administrator Roy F Hendrick-io- n of the agriculture department's marketing administration told the Canners that they must increase the output of most canned goods to a record level this year He stated also that there would be some changes made In the public's market basket because it would be necessary to produce more essential food Bowman estimated the 1942 sugar supply at approximately 5500000 short tons Including the carryover and the hoarded stores While family table consumers looked ahead to receiving about 12 ounces a week per person under the rationing program the W P B
