The NAM chief revealed that the greatest increase is required in aircraft production, which he said must be stepped up at least forty-five per cent. He blamed failure to meet the schedules on four factors: ““Too much individual inefficiency -and failure to do the fullest possible day’s work; too much labor turnover—too much jumping from job to job for higher wages; an alarming rate of absenteeism in war industries and altogether too many—and . say one is too many—strikes and slowdowns.” The cure for these evils, Crawford pointed out,:lies in a better job by both management and government.
