warned the nation it must buckle down to tha job of producing War materials or the opportunity to exploit recent military successes will be lost war department is concerned over the army production situation" he said in May of materiel fat the ground forces supply program which was scheduled to rise 2 per cent from $1553000000 in April to $1582000000 in May actually declined-3 per centric-! 1494 000000" The war production board only yesterday disclosed this country produced 7200 airplanes in May for a new monthly record Patterson commented aircraft production' is encouraging" DELIVERIES SLOW the exception of aircraft tad radio equipment for the ground forces deliveries of every single group of -army supply itemi were either below May schedules or below April totals" he said He said tha failure in production means troops in training must be deprived of equipment to supply troops overseas If tha situation continues even overseas troops will suffer shortages he added has the men and Patterson laid: -has the men and materials Management and labor must deliver the supplies cm schedule and as planned or the opportunity to exploit recent military successes will be lost ia the moat critical period in military supply Too tittle and too late? now will costHiun-dreds of thousands of live tomorrow OVER-CONFIDENT "I would attribute the letdown in May to over-confidence in spired by baseless rumors of vast quantities Of armyuppliea being stored up here in America far beyond our abilities to transport overseas and to the mistaken belief on the part of many that materials in great quantities will shortly become available for the reconversion of many war facilities to the productiorv of less essential civilian items Failure to appreciate the gravity' of our situation and the need for continued increased ef forts to meet our continually increased needs is evidenced by the coal strike the Akron strikes and other stoppages in war and related industries and by the tendency of certain manufacturers to divert too much time thought and energy to the design and development of competitive civilian non-essentials" he said Patterson said of the 7200 airplanes produced in May 68 per cent were tactical types Mrs Lena Stein Dies at Age of 81 Mrs Lena Stein 81 died at her home south of Hastings at 9:30 this morning She is survived by her husband John Stein two sons John of
