U. S. Defense Production Under John D. Biggers

The production end of mobilization of this country's industrial forces for defense is under the direction of a representative of the glass industry, John D. Biggers, president of the Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Company.

Mr. Biggers, who has been chief aide to William S. Knudsen, since President Roosevelt created the National Defense Advisory Committee, is now head of the production division of the new Office of Production Management. Mr. Biggers was appointed following the president's decree empowering the new Office of Production Management (OPM) to handle all production problems to speed defense, to co-ordinate requirements of foreign governrirents, the Army and Navy, to organize the placing of defense orders, to assure supplies of raw materials and to serve as liaison between the Army and Navy and the NDAC, which will continue in existence.

While most of his time is spent in Washington, Mr. Biggers remains close to his own company's regular activities and continues as president.

Under the twin direction of Mr. Knudsen, director general, and Sidney Hillman, associate director general, with Secretary of War Stimson and Secretary of the Navy Knox as members, the OPM has three divisions, that headed by Mr. Biggers; purchases, in charge of Donald M. Nelson, NDAC defense buying co-ordinator, and priorities, headed by Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., NDAC raw materials chief, who heads a six-man priorities board to rule on such purchases.

As Director of Production, Mr. Biggers has the responsibility of assisting private manufacturers in keeping to schedules in production of defense materials totaling many millions of dollars in the next 24 months.

fn a press conference called to explain the functioning of his new division, Mr. Biggers disclosed in Washington that production of military airplanes in December totaled 799, or 99 more than had been predicted for that month by Director Knudsen.

Mr. Biggers said that he felt that Mr. Knudsen's prediction had "jolted everybody into intensified activity."

In giving his description of the new production division, Mr. Biggers said it would operate "in between procurement and inspection," or in that field of production following the award of contracts by the Army and Navy and the point where articles finished under contract were ready for delivery.

'We are going to make the utmost use of organizations that exist and step in to help them as problems develop," said Mr. Biggers. "'When we see a choke point coming, it is our duty to step in and try to help avoid disaster." He emphasized that there would be no attempt to duplicate work being done already, saying: "We think that duplication, where unnecessary, is dangerous and destructive. "If all else fails, then your last resort. is priority," he said.

On the eve of a national plant facilities census week, Mr. Biggers, in a radio address, said: "Every productive potentiality of every manufacturing unit, no matter how

Dealers Cash in on Sales of Palco Redwood Septic Tanks

During 1940 dealers throughout the West increased their sales of Palco Redwood Sectional Septic Tank and Drain 42.15 per cent over the previous year, which was an all time record, according to Max E. Cook, director of sales promotion for The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco.

"The sale of 9' tanks was increased 42 per cent over 1939; and whereas there were formerly sold approximately an equal number of 6' and 9' tanks, a significant record of improved product acceptance is reflected last year in the sales of more than two 9' tanks for every one of the smaller ca= pacity or 118 per cent more 9's than 5's," Mr. Cook states.

"This has been helpful in securing and maintaining warranted recognition ftom health authorities, who are striving to gain more capacity in septic tanks. The Palco tank has a capacity four times greater than the average tank previously sold.

"Acceptance and demand for Palco Septic Tanks and Drain is no longer limited to California. Nevada and Utah dealers made 12 per cent of 1940 sales. New Mexico shows an increasing demand with ll per cent of total sales for the year, and the equivalent of 30 tanks were shipped to Alaska. New business has also been developed in Oregon and Washington.

"Dealers who wish to take advantage of the opportunity to cash in on septic tank sales in 1941 can get full information by writing to The Pacifi,c Lumber Company, 100 Bush Street, San Francisco.
