U.S. Defence Orders Range From

Tanks To Dishwashing Machines QUEEN'S & ALHAMBRA

By HENRY P. MCNULTY United Press Staff Correspondent.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15 (UP).The $20,000,000 to $500,000,000 being.contracted for daily by the United States Government for its defence programme is making strange changes in the output of many American manufacturing firms, and covers an almost unlimited variety of products. One day's orders recently included not only $6,000,000 for motor torpedo boats but $20,- 000 for mattress covers, more than $83,000,000 worth of tanks and some $10,000 worth of dishwashing machines.

Manufacturers are being asked to make war materials in plants that have been pro- ducing the most harmless of domestic luxurios. A $20,000,000 order for machine-guns went to a firm that has been making electric refrigerators for years. The company will continue to manufacture both products side by side.
