Die US-Kriegsrüstung –
Mehr geplant als produziert
Stockholm, 30. Mai –
Der Vorsitzende des US-Kriegsproduktionsamtes Donald Nelson berichtete, daß die Erzeugung an Kriegsmaterial hinter der Planung zurückgeblieben sei. Das Absinken der Produktion habe seit September vergangenen Jahres angehalten. Die stärksten Rückschläge seien im Flugzeugprogramm eingetreten, obwohl gerade in diesem Programm eine Steigerung gefordert worden war.

Democrats call meeting to action on the 1944 county ticket
Will decide judgeship, other posts
By Joseph H. Schmalacker
Frank V. Kelly, Democratic county leader, today scheduled a meeting of the Kings County Democratic executive committee for June 8, to act on the county ticket for the 1944 campaign. The chief political prize to be decided at the session is the party’s designation for the $22,500-a-year County Court judgeship.
The executive committee, headed by Kelly and consisting of the leaders and co-leaders of Brooklyn’s 24 new assembly districts, is also expected to announce the party’s candidates for nine seats in Congress, nine in the State Senate and 24 in the Assembly.
Three mentioned for post
The race for the County Court designation has been growing in intensity anions the Democrats. The prevailing belief is that State Senator Carmine Marasco of the Bensonhurst-Coney Island district holds the inside track. City Court Justice Sylvester Sabbatino, City Councilman Anthony J. Digiovanna and others are also in the running.
The Democrats are out to recapture the county judicial office which was held by the late Democratic Judge Peter J. Brancato, who died several months ago. It is occupied now by Judge Nicholas Howard Pinto, a Republican, who is the temporary appointee of Governor Dewey.
Will decide mix-ups
The announcement of the slate by the leaders after next week’s meeting is due to decide several unsettled political mix-ups produced by the reapportionment of legislative districts. The political fate of Senator Edward J. Coughlin is due to be one of those decided.
The reapportionment had the effect of throwing the Democratic veteran into a revised senatorial district with Senator James J. Crawford and Senator Louis B. Heller. Coughlin has transferred his residence to the Flatbush district, where the senatorial post is held by Senator Samuel L. Greenberg. Several delegations have visited Leader Kelly to urge Coughlin’s redesignation.
