Chairman,
Joint Labor-Management Committee, War Production Drive.
The work of the joint plant committees in the advancement of the War Production Drive has resulted in progress and achievements. Both management and lahor have earned the country’s applause for the manner in which they have cooperated to increase war production. From hundreds of plants, news of activities, ideas, adaptations, and improvements have been received. Through thousands of communications has run the central idea of increased war production now.
War Production Drive Headquarters is now organized to provide information and materials which will help you in your efforts. In this Handbook of Helpful Services, you will find a description and explanation of how to obtain materials to carry on the efforts of your committee, including
U. S. ARMY SERVICES, including Performance Communiques, Speakers, Motion Pictures and Newsreels, Circulating Exhibits, Photographs.
POSTERS.
LEAFLETS for your Information Stand. STICKERS.
STORIES for your plant newspaper.
MOTION PICTURES.
RADIO TRANSCRIPTIONS.
BULLETIN BOARD PLACARDS.
MARITIME SPEAKERS SERVICE.
A list of Regional Information Offices where you may apply for advice and consultation is also given in this handbook.
A separate pamphlet on the subject of Individual Awards for plant workers who have made outstanding suggestions calculated to advance all phases of war production has been mailed to you.
The purpose of this Service Handbook is to provide a compact and convenient replacement for the memoranda on similar subjects which have been mailed to you from time to time to date. Additional memoranda numbered serially describing services or making suggestions will continue to come to you. You should keep a file of them.
War Production Drive Headquarters offers this material as a basic aid to your own particular drive. The demand for these materials
is large and supplies frequently become exhausted and therefore are unavailable. Other materials are added or substituted. It is hoped that you will call upon your own ingenuity and skill to adapt these services and materials to your own individual or local problems and improve upon them in many instances in the future as you have done in the past.
Congratulations on the manner in which you are joining your efforts to the War Production Drive which has emerged in a brief time from a concept and invitation from Donald M. Nelson, Chairman of the War Production Board, to participate in a voluntary effort into a functioning movement throughout the Nation.
War Production Drive Headquarters.
p . . we have not yet won our hattie of production; but I honestly believe that we have passed the turning point. During the next year or so we are going to work harder and sweat harder than ever before in our lives. But we can see ourselves working toward victory....”
Chairman, War Production Board.
POSTER SERVICE
Posters should be given full display throughout your plant. A poster is only as good as the number of people who can see and read it easily.
Arrangements should be made for effective display of posters and streamers in each department of your plant.
As a general rule, you will use about five posters to one streamer.
Reproduced here are two posters and a streamer.
Several posters are available to date, and others are coming off the press at regular intervals. Those available now are listed below for you.

UNITED STATES ARMY SERVICES
War Production Drive Headquarters, cooperating with th© United States Army, has arranged for direct services to War Production Drive Labor-Management Committees from the Army’s Industrial Section.
The Industrial Section is staffed by a group of competent and experienced officers. The Industrial Section authorizes an offer of direct service and cooperation to joint Labor-Management Committees organized in support of the War Production Drive. Requests for such service should be addressed to: Chief, Public Relations Branch, Headquarters, Services of Supply—Attention, Industrial Section, Room 3704, War Department, Washington, D. C.
ARMY SERVICES OFFERED
Performance Communiques.
These are “action bulletins” describing the0 actual performance of American-manufactured fighting equipment in the field—planes, tanks, guns, etc.—or carrying messages from top-flight Army men regarding war materials. Some of these Performance Communiques are obtained from front-line news by the War Department.
Such bulletins describe a dramatic and successful bit of action in which a piece of American-manufactured fighting equipment took part. The fighting unit is described by trade name and the bulletin is a report from the men who use the equipment to the men who make it on how it worked. These communiques are signed by ranking Army or War Department officials.
Performance Bulletins are dispatched in telegraph form to the “prime” plant producing the finished fighting unit and to subcontracting plants contributing a part or parts to the finished fighting unit. When received by the Labor-Management War Production Drive Committees, they should be reproduced iu quantity and posted on War Bulletin Boarcra throughout each plant.
8
To receive this service write direct to the Industrial Section and be sure to name the ► item or unit you are producing and whether or not it is an Army or Navy contract. Incluile also specific information, within censorship regulations, concerning the ultimate use of your equipment in a fighting unit.
Speakers.
The Industrial Section has a small but highly experienced staff of speakers available for special appearances in war production plants. These officers are available on request of Labor-Management War Production Drive Committees and are familiar with subjects having a direct bearing on the worker’s connection with the war effort. The speakers’ division is likewise prepared to give you special assistance in organizing and handling such special events as Plant Dedications, Training Program Meetings, Patriotic Rallies, etc.
Circulating Exhibits.
The Industrial Section is beginning to as-> semble exhibits of interest to war workers. When completed, such exhibits will be circulated to war plants on request from Labor-Management Committees. These will be available without cost to the committees beyond charges for transportation and maintenance.
Photographs.
The Industrial Section has established a photograph division whose principal objective is to assemble and distribute Army action pictures and illustrations of interest to war industry workers. These photographs have a direct bearing on the relationship between the industrial soldier who makes the tools of war and the military personnel who can use these tools. The photo division can supply a great variety of 8x10 glossy pictures for mounting on bulletin boards in war factories and for use in house publications, etc. These photographs will be supplied on request when accompanied by a fairly adequate description of the subject matter desired.

RADIO TRANSCRIPTION SERVICE
A variety of transcribed material is now available to Labor-Management War Production Drive Committees.
Plant committees desirous of using these recordings which embrace significant and effective messages from the Government to war producers on their individual contributions, as well as on our national war effort, will be provided with transcriptions of their own selection without cost. Following is a descriptive list of this material with instructions for obtaining selections.
Transcribed material is used with good results in many plants equipped with or renting or otherwise obtaining portable public-address systems. It is also used by some plant committees through local radio stations. Many assembly halls and workers’ meeting places are also equipped to use transcriptions. They are used as part of the program in rallies and plant and union meetings and are convenient in plant eating halls or cafeterias and are widely adaptable. Many schools are equipped with play-back equipment which is portable and can be utilized by local arrangement.
Plant committees will make their own selections according to their own judgment and circumstances and order from the following list:
Battle Reports.
Bombing Jap Ships.
A 5-minute transcribed report by Capt. Hewitt Wheless of his famous bombing raid in the South Pacific.

MARITIME SPEAKERS SERVICE
The National Service, an instrumentality of the United States Maritime Commission, has authorized War Production Drive Headquarters to invite joint Labor-Management Production Drive Committees to use its facilities in obtaining speakers for war production plant meetings in shipyards and factories.
The National Service has on its staff sailors and officers of the American Merchant Marine who have performed gallant deeds and undergone unusual experiences in carrying the weapons and material made in American war factories to battlefronts of the global war. It also has on its staff sailors and soldiers of the United Nations who have had actual war experience on the seas and overseas, and other outstanding persons whose experiences will contribute interest to such meetings. Their appearance at plant rallies or workers’ meetings serves to bring reports on the war directly to the factory production floors and carry out a basic purpose of the Production Drive.
The staff of the National Service is limited. When a request is made by a Labor-Management Committee for a speaker from the National Service, it is essential that the committee state the approximate size of the audience to be addressed, the time and place of the meeting, the principal war products of the plant, whether the meeting place is equipped with a public-address system and microphones, and any main characteristics of the aüdience, so that a suitable speaker may be selected.
Request this service by addressing: C. M. Paul, Director, National Service, United States Maritime Commission, 39 Broadway, New York, N.Y.
18
BULLETIN BOARD PLACARD SERVICE
Bulletin boards, to be most useful, need frequent dressing up. War Production Drive Headquarters is offering a new service for this purpose. It consists of a series of placards in 10" x 14" size for posting on bulletin boards. In part these will consist of cartoons by nationally known cartoonists on subjects pertinent to the War Production Drive and the activities of the subcommittees of the joint committees within the plants.
Those who desire this service on a regular basis should order from War Production Drive Headquarters, War Production Board, Washington, D. C., placards in the number of their own bulletin boards. Make sure that the placards are changed as new supplies are received, because the fresh material on the board will lend added interest to the board itself. The schedule for production of this material will aim to provide those ordering the service with 1 one useful placard for each bulletin board in the plant each week.
19
STICKERS
GM HITLER—
Illustrated here are sample stickers which are now available on order from the War Production Drive Headquarters, War Production Board, Washington, D. C.
The War Production Drive Headquarters wants to make this observation concerning the use of stickers. First, these pasters with slogans on them are designed to appeal to men who will want to stick them up where they can be seen. In effect, they are small cheap posters. The original Plan Book, in an effort to cite an example of a way in which stickers might be used, proposed that they could be used on machines at which men work. Care must be exercised that these stickers are not used in any manner injurious to machinery, dangerous to operations, or so as to deface property. Stickers may be used properly and with advantage on certain surfaces near machines, on bulletin boards or boards used to back report papers, and in other spots where many can view them.
20
The supply of stickers now available is limited. The committee should not, therefore, order and expect to get a copy of each sticker for each man in the plant. It would be better to order a total number that would not exceed one for each man who would be able to use one. Orders for individual stickers cannot be handled separately, except for the flag sticker, because of the problems of packaging and mailing. Orders should be placed for sets of 360 stickers which are already packaged. Each package contains 24 of each single color sticker, divided into half red and half blue, and 24 of the flag sticker.
Please order stickers by packages directly from War Production Drive Headquarters, War Production Board, Washington, D. C., and make a special effort when the stickers are received to see that none are wasted or used improperly.
21
MATERIAL FOR PLANT NEWSPAPERS
Many plants which are participating in the War Production Drive already had, or now have, plant newspapers, house organs, or employee publications which are proving useful in the Drive. War Production Drive Headquarters recognizes the responsibility it has to the editors of these papers. It has been arranged, therefore, for each War Production Drive Committee to receive a copy of the weekly magazine, VICTORY, and the VICTORY BULLETIN. In the event the Committee wants more than one copy, the magazine VICTORY can be obtained by subscription at 75 cents a year in accordance with instructions which appear in the magazine itself.
The magazine VICTORY will carry cartoons bearing on the War Production Drive from time to time. These will be available to the committees in mat form on order, as shown in the magazine, and can be reproduced as desired in the plant newspapers. There will be other material in VICTORY which may be applicable to the particular industrial plant or community in which the Production Drive is organized. This may be reproduced also.
22
The VICTORY BULLETIN is a mimeographed publication prepared especially for use by editors of employee publications, house : magazines, and plant newspapers. It will contain material bearing specifically on the War Production Drive.
As stories containing interesting developments in the national progress of the War Production develop, they will be mailed to the committees in the form of press releases. These may also be used by your editor.
23
OTHER WAR PRODUCTION DRIVE PUBLICATIONS
War Production Drive Headquarters has issued other publications which have proved helpful to committees in organizing and operating their War Production Drives within their plants. These are :
Plan Book.
Sets out the general plan of the War Production Drive and explains its purposes and how to organize it.
Report.
Shows through many concrete suggestions how several well-known companies adapted the War Production Drive to plant requirements.
Individual Awards Plan.

24
SERVICES OF REGIONAL INFORMATION OFFICERS
The War Production Drive is not a publicity effort but it may be aided by proper publicity. As a further means of providing help, advice, and consultation, the plant committees may call upon the services of the Information Division of the Office for Emergency Management for assistance and counsel.
A list of these field information officers follows. You should communicate, as you desire, with the office nearest your plant. These men will be glad to cooperate in establishment of contacts and in the preparation of stories on the progress of the Drive in your industrial area.
Please feel free to call upon these field officers at any time.
