Shipyards/and plants pro¬ ducing heavy/bombers, anti-aircraft v:guns, tanks and .munitions are being placed on a working schedule of 24 hours a day 7 days a week, the OPM announced on Wesdnesday.

Director General Knudsen stated that there will be no need to conscript labor or increase work¬ ing hours while existing labor supplies are unabsorbed. In July, President Roosevelt asked defense officials to estimate the cost of a "victory program," standardizing of Britain^ Russia and the to produce everything needed effect the defeat of Nazi Germany.

Since the program, which was to have been discussed next month with Congress and the nation, is reported to have assumed the necessity for equipping an American expe¬ ditionary force, it is expected that the survey will soon be submitted to Congress in final form, with previously calculated production estimates revised to set goals of speedy maximum output in all defense categories. The Pacific area is normally the source of vital war materials, chiefly tin, rubber, manganese, chromite, and tungsten. According to the Office of Production Man¬ agement the United States consumes 100,000 tons of tin and 600,000 tons of rubber a year.: Additional tin can be obtained from Bolivia, and rubber supplies can be supplemented by the use of reclaimed and synthetic rubber. Manganese, is obtainable from Brazil, Cuba and South Africa, as well as from low grade, domestic" ore. For tungsten a plentiful domestic supply of molybdenum may be substituted in many cases.
