S. was the signal for toe complete industrial and agricul tural mobilization of the country, re- sultihg in an unprecedented produc tion of goods and food that not only has fed the sinews of our own fight ing machine, but helped maintain those of our Allies as well. " Succeeding the Office of Produc tion Management set up earlier in the defense program, the War Pro duction board came into its own with the U. S. entrance into the war, with leadership vested in Donald Nelson, yd personnel consisting of the na- tton*s most expert industrialists and ■technicians. To put all of the nation’s vital re sources and manpower at the com mand of the war effort, civilian pro duction, • particularly in the heavy industries using steel, aluminum, al loys, etc., was yarply curtailed, with a priority system established to allocate the supply of necessary materials. • Aircraft Protoictioa High. At the same time, both private industry and the government invest ed, in the construction and expsnsimi of production facilities, with the slr- cr^ and shipbuilding manufacto* ries showing the most phenomenal growth due to the development of the airplane as s vital bombard ment and protective weapon, and the necessity for hauling vast quan tities of supplies across water routes. With* industry mobilized, labor was first allowed to follow wartime employment opportunities, but when more workers were needed the War Manpower commission sought to steer help into vital production by drawing up a list of essential occu pations entitling draft registrants to deferment consideration. Matching industry’s sensational production achievement, the nat^’s farmers, short of help with wornrs seeking more lucrative employment in war industries and drafted for service, and short of madiinery be- cause of restrictions on output, man aged to raise record crops and keep tte country, the service and our AlUes well nourished. Reflecting the outstanding produc tion record of the farmer, around 3,000,000,000 bushels of com were raised in 1942, *43 and '44; ovtr 100,000,000 head of hogs were fed during 1943 and ’44, and 1944 wheat harvest was set at over 1,000,000,000 bushels. Hero of Yugoslavs Marshal Tito (Josip Broxovlch) earried on a successful sniping goer- riUa campaign against the forces in Tugosiav territory.
