Women by Thousands Take Places
of Men Gone to Enter u. s. Service

Eastern federal reserve banks re-
port that a tendency is apparent
among manufacturers and distributors
to await full assurance of government
price regulations before determining
trade policies. Industries generally
are active and the less-essential enter
prises are rapidly being curtailed or
converted into essential production
Wholesalers are beginning to market
materials for sale next spring at high
er prices and retailers show some un-
certainty as to how higher prices will
be taken by the public for clothing and
other articles. This causes some hes
itancy in certain lines.
