More Guns,
Less Butter
Predicted
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 — /? —
Production of civilian items such
as automobiles and refrigerators
which are made largely of critical
metals will be cut sharply in 1952
because of expanding military out
put.
That was the emphatic warning of
the nation’s top mobilization chiefs
yesterday. Defense M o b i 1 i z e r
Charles E. Wilson put it this way:
From now on, during 1952, there
will be many more guns and much
less butter."
Wilson told the National Press
Club that manufacturer^ of civilian
goods will get only about 50 percent
of their usual amounts of three crit
ical metals— steel, copper and alum
inum — in the first quarter of next
year.
And Manly Fleischmann, Defense
Production Administrator and a
principal Wilson aide, disclosed at
the same time that “substantial”
additional cutbacks in metal quotas
must be made in April, May and
June.
Fle:schmann explained that mili
tary officials have made big boosts
in their demands for strategic
metals in the second 1952 quarter. I
The DPA head said he did not
look for much increase in unem
ployment on a national scale be
cause of civilian cutbacks but agreed
there would be more jobless in some
areas.
He cited Detroit and New Eng
land particularly. There already
have been sharp protests from mem
bers of Congress in both these sec
tors about growing unemployment.
