W ASHINGTON. April 1- War
Production Hoard sources reported
today that Chairman Donald M.
Nelson will engage an "expediter”
to bring lagging aircraft produc
tion up to the huge levels de
mandod by the war program.
TVvpite charges by the Senate
defense committee that the WPB
doesn't have "a single lopnotch
aircraft production man in its or
ganization.” ttie same sources said
that it was very unlikely that
there would ho a wholesale shake
up in the aircraft branch.
It is believed that Merrill C.
Meigs, Chicago publisher will con
tinue a« M-a-year man in charge
of the aircraft division.
Lack of Materials
WPB authorities say that Nel
son is "convinced'’ that current
faults and lags in the warplane
production program stem not from
aircraft branch hut lather
from faulty flow of critical mate
rials io plane assembly plants.
Nelson is said to feci that "pro
duction” is proceeding favorably
within the factories and plants,
but lhat the output of planes is
being retarded by obstacles aris
ing from the delivery of parts and
'materials to the assembly lines.
Aircraft production, it was
pointed out, differs widely from
other production enterprises in
that plane factories depend upon
scores of smaller manufacturers
to deliver a hundred-and-one parts
that go imo a complicated, mod
|ern-day fighting plane.
A Ia IT in dellV'nrv nf a Con- vilat
pieces will delay production of the
finished plane.
K. T. Keller, Chrysler Corpora
tion president, recently completed
a thorough study of the aircraft
production problem for Nelson,
particularly on the flow of mate
rials from the bauxite mines, where
the aluminum ore is dug, right
down to the assembly line.
f>n Iho basis of Keller's report
and other investigations which lie
has conducted. Nelson is likely to
formulate a plan of action. The
WPB chief was said to he devoting
great attention to plane produc
tion.
Apfiointmrnt of an "expeditor"
to iron out the kinks in the mate
rials phase of the program would
he his solution.
