...Engineer Gano Dunn, author of one optimistic report on the adequacy of U.S. steel capacity for war needs (TIME, March 10), gave Franklin Roosevelt his second guess last week. Nub: next year the U.S. will produce 6.4 million tons of steel less than it needs...
...expansionists recalled that the Institute had once promised to supply defense, Britain and civilian needs from its current capacity. They recalled that the Gano Dunn report of last February, setting 1942 "reliable" capacity at 91,100,000 tons, had predicted (with many an if) that this would be more than enough; yet steel's present operations rate of over 84,000,000 tons a year is not enough for current demand. This week a second Dunn report, recalculating supply & demand, was on its way to the President...
...price-fixing administration, but resides largely in the question of supply and capacity." He considers himself a supply commissioner as well as a price tsar; he plans to use all his power to put pressure on business to drop opposition to plant expansion. Major examples of such opposition: the Gano Dunn report (declaring steel capacity adequate); frequent assurances from the railroads that they can handle all the country's transportation needs without additional facilities. In this respect, Henderson's new commission represents a major setback for Director of Priorities E. R. Stettinius Jr., who never publicly questioned...
Creation of OPACS marks a sea change in both the President's recent views and the new commissioner's standing. Only seven weeks ago Mr. Roosevelt put himself on record with an all-out acceptance of the Gano Dunn report (which is the No. 1 red rag to New Dealers). And in January Henderson believed his "too little too late" views on the need of expansion were getting so poor a hearing at the White House that he went off on a long vacation to the Virgin Islands. About that time rumors spread that he was through with...
...report was on the capacity of the steel industry, made by Gano Dunn, 70, president of J. G. White Engineering Co., now an OPMite in the production division. Awaited for weeks, Engineer Dunn's report was expected to settle a hot defense controversy over steel: how much (if any) should the industry expand? Beaming cheer, the President said there had been a lot of loose talk about the adequacy of steel capacity; that the Dunn report showed ample facilities for all domestic defense and civilian needs, as well as for those of the nations defending democracy...
