ARMS OUTPUT TO CONTINUE AT FULL
SPEED FOR BIG LANDINGS IN PACIFIC
Jap War Lord
.To Form Party
NEW YORK, March 1.—(P)—Wil-
liam L. Datt said today war pro-
duction must continue full speed
for “big military landings" in the
Pacific and land fighting, on per-
haps the European seale.D
The Army and Air Forces will
have to be “pretty completely
re-equipped” to fight Japan,
the War Production board vice
chairman said in an address
prepared by a Rotary club lun-
cheon.
Batt announced staggering fig-
ures on America's production—now
AWARDS PLANNED—Wil-
liam R. Enyart, president of
the National Aeronautic asso-
ciation, and Andrew J. Haire,
equal to that of "all our Allies and
enemies” combined—but forecast
that Germany's fall will permit less
than a 20 percent reconversion to
peacetime goods.
“I can tell you that our mill-
tary men may not use much of
the equipment they have em-
ployed in Europe against the
Japanese,” Batt said, since oth-
er types of materiel are needed
and the task of assembling and
reshipping across the world is
“simply not practicable.”
(The WPB official thus forro-
borated an Associated Press report
on Jan. 31 with which Secretary of
War Stimson took issue last week.
The story stated that American
troops so transferred would leave
the bulk of their equipment behind
and would be armed anew.
(Stimson told Rep." Engel (R-
Mich) by letter that army policy
called for “maximum transfer" to
the Pacific of everything that could
be effectively used there.
(Engel, who had been alarmed at
possible duplication of production,
entered the AP story and Stimson's
letter in the Congressional Record,
along with the comment of another
War department representative.
The latter, when asked where the
AP reporter could have got the
story, Engel said, answered: "He
must have picked it up in some
barber shop.")
Batt disclosed in his address that

the huge new Super-bombers—into
the air. These were among muni-
tions totals announced for the first
time, covering the period from the
start of the defense program in
July, 1940, to the end of 1944.
All types of planes numbered
246,845, of which 79,776 were
fighters and 19,547 were trans-
ports.
“In merchant vessels we have
produced 45,384,000 deadweight tons
of ocean-going cargo ships. Of na-
val vessels there have been con-
structed no fewer than 56,697. x x x
“The President wanted 45,000
tanks. Well, we have actually
turned out 75,000 tanks. X * X
“We have produced 37,198,000,000
rounds of small arms ammunition
x x x 2,927,502 short tons of ground
artillery ammunition x x x 4,130,000
short tons of aircraft bombs, 59,-
646,000 grenades.
“Now these are some stratospher-
ic figures x x x and every Ameri-
can may justifiably feel proud."
But, Batt said, this does not
permit extensive planning for re-
conversion.
“We must not underestimate the
Japanese any more than we have
now learned not to underestimate
the Germans."
Saying the Japanese land army
now is about as large as the Ger-
man army at its peak, Batt added:
“Our present naval opera-
tions and victories must cer-
tainly be preliminary to big
military landings somewhere. At
the end of supply lines three
times as long as those that have
separated us from the Germans,
and, lacking an advance fortress
base such as we had in Britain,
we must conduct a land war,
possibly of a scale compar-
I + able to that we have waged in
Europe, at that tremendous dis-
tance. x x x
"I can tell you that our military
men may not use much of the
equipment they have employed in
Europe against the Japanese. Sec-
retary Stimson says they will use
what they can.
"But men fighting in the tropics
and in many parts of the Orient
require, as you know, different
clothing than men fighting in
northwest Europe. Weapons design-
ed for the fairly good highways and
rail transportation of Europe are
not necessarily adapted to the
primitive conditions of the Far
East.
‘Further than that, just the me-
chanical job of cleaning up, repair-
ing and packing much of the equip-
ment X X X so that it could be
shipped to the Pacific is an appall-
ing job and to a very considerable
degree simply not practicable.
"I think the inevitable result
must be therefore that as we move
to the Orient from Europe, our
Army and Air Force will have to
be pretty completely re-equipped.
This is another part of the big job
ahead of us."'________________________.

“A ten-cent tip? Hm! His wife must be along with him
this trip, and he's trying to crowd her in on his expense
account!”
By The Associated Press
The Japanese Dome news agency
reported today that Adm. Seizo
Kobayashi has resigned from the
cabinet to lead the movement for
a new totalitarian party to replace
the powerful Imperial Rule Assist-
ance Political society which Kob-
ayashi heads.
Simultaneously Domel report-
ed that the diet probably would
be reconvened early in March
in a related move toward for-
mation of a new party.
In broadcasts recorded by the
Federal Communications ‘commis-
sion, Domei said both moves were
linked with “grave developments of
the war situation."
The new party, for which politic-
ians have been agitating for months,
is intended to guide Japan's war
effort and establish greater unity
among the Japanese.
An important group of legis-
lators h a s already requested
the diet situation, partly to
hear new war reports from Pre-
mier Gen. Kuniaki Koiso.
Kobayashi, who was appointed
minister without portfolio last Dec,
19, tendered his resignation yester-
day after discussing the formation
of a new party with Emperor Hiro-
hito. Kolso formally accepted the
resignation today.
