SHORTAGE OF PENNIES
Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross, director of the mint,
recently issued an appeal for each American family
to return to circulation just ten one-cent pieces. If
this were done, she pointed out, nearly 388 million
pennies would come out of hiding, a number that
would take the mint five months of 60-hour work
weeks to produce, using 1260 tons of scarce copper.
The nationwide shortage of coins, first observed
after the outbreak of hostilities in Korea last year, is
becoming increasingly acute in this area, the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco announced recently.
While it has not been necessary to resort to formal
rationing, the Bank is finding it difficult to meet the
present extremely heavy demand, particularly for
pennies and half-dollars, even though commercial
member banks have cooperating by ordering only their
minimum requirements.
The principal shortage problem throughout the
country is that of the lowly penny. Even though the
mints have operated on as high as a 60-hour work
week, they have been unable to relieve the situation.
A reduction in the supply of copper allotted by the
National Production Authority, and delays in deliv
eries of the metal due to recent strikes, have been
contributing factors
The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco urges
the public to cooperate fully in releasing coins of all
denominations which have been accumulated in home
containers. The coins will be accepted either for de
posit or for exchange into paper currency by any bank,
or they may be used for making ordinary purchases.
Prompt and widespread action in this regard will help
greatly in meeting the peak demands of the approach
ing holiday season.

Cold-W eather
Battery
It was sunbathing weather but
engineers were thinking ahead to
the cold of winter when they froze
this new Willard Heavy Duty De
Luxe Battery in a cake of ice to
demonstrate its increased cold
weather cranking power. The iced
battery cranked the car contin
uously for more than 12 minutes
without faltering!
Research on military batteries
for Arctic use led to the develop
ment of this automotive battery
with more cranking power. Other
features include more resistance to
under-hood heat and a new, strong
er container that resists road
shocks. The new battery is avail
able in sizes to fit 99 per cent of
the cars on the road today.

Retiring Undersecretary
Of Air Force Says Plane
Production Can Be Tripled
WASHINGTON, (/P) — The re
tiring undersecretary of the Air
Force says the rate of plane pro
duction for the Air Force can be
more than tripled by the end of
next year if the present pace
keeps up.
But, John A. McCone said in
a statement, if the pace is to be
maintained, controls over critical
materials “must be cut deeper
than it presently the case.”
McCone resigned this week to
go back to private life, after serv
ing nearly 18 months. He has
been in charge of aircraft produc
tion problems.
