WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 —_-.An
nouncement that the War Department
had asked American manufacturers of-
war munitions for data. as to ,their fa-
cilities for furnishing supplies, partic

led to some. speculation here today, al
though officials explained that the .ac-
tion was in accordance with the usual
practice, both innormal times, as well
as in war. The announcement declar-
ed emphatically that no purchases of
war supplies was contemplated at
pleat-mt. ‘
The step, it is explained. was made
