Raw Film Stock Allocations Cut To meet increased military demands for X-ray, aero and 16mm film, the War Production Board has announced that consumption of 35mm film for entertainment purposes by the motion picture industry in the first quarter of 1945 will have to be cut. The indicated figure is somewhere in the vicinity of 300,000,000 linear feet, which is approximately 25,000,000 feet less than the last (uiartcr of 1944. Civilian consumption of X-ray film will i)e cut to 75 per cent of average quarterly usage. Other civilian u.se of 16mm film has already been cut to a minimum, from 65,000.000 feet per quarter in peacetime to 1,000,000 linear feet. Not only the industry, but domestic Government agencies, as well as several neutral countries whose allocations are passed upon by the State Department, will have to take reduced allotments, .-\lthough there has been a slight increase in the raw stock allocated to overseas film division of the OWI, actually its first (|uarter quota of 15.000,000 feet represents a cut, as from this the OWI will have to supply footage for Ministry of Information war films and other United Nations films shown in the U. S. In addition, this allocation will have to cover the OWFs Far Eastern program of psychological warfare films. Requirements of the Army and Navy for 16mm. film in the first quarter total 142,000,000 linear feet, which is 8,500,000 feet in excess of the industry's present production capacity, 170,000,000 linear feet of 35mm. and 24.000,000 square feet of aero film.
