WASHINGTON—Union conventions are out for 1945 and all other conventions, too, the office of defense transportation declared this week.
Conventions of any kind, involving more than 50 people that need transportation to the convention site, are out of the question for the next 12 to 15 months, according to ODT.
The next 12-15 months, ODT declared, will mean the tightest transportation situation the nation has ever known.
One of the chief reasons for the expected transportation crisis, it was said, will be the "re-deployment" of U. S. troops from the European zone to the Pacific. Supplies, planes, ammunition, artillery for the final battle against Japan will take up every available bit of train space.
