XXXXXXXXXX PORTABLE RADIO BATTERY TRANSFER STILL OUT More flexible control over production of dry cell batter¬ ies and portable electric lights operated by dry cell batteries is contemplated by the War Production Board in issuing General Limita¬ tion Order No. L-?l as amended. The newly-amended order will eliminate base period quotas to place production on a scheduled basis.
