in clerical and other non -combatant
posts was recommended by Secretary

House Military Affairs Committee.
His letter Endorsed a bill by Repre-

Secretary Stimson said the size of
the Women'S Army would depend
upon military requirements and es-
timated it's cost during 1912 at So

previously that hearings on the bill
would begin after the War Depart
ment gave an opinion on its merits.

iary Territorial Service in which
thousands of British women are en-
rolled, the American counterpart
would pay privates s21 month. the
same as Army men. Women officers
and on-commiSSioned officers would
be chosen on merit, trained in Spe-
cial schools and granted pay in line
with Army pay for similar posts.
Units of the women's corps would
be stationed at each large Army
post or camp. They would live in
barracks and be subject to military
discipline. Outside of several drill
hours weekly they would do clerical
and secretarial jobs and work as
teleprinter operators, cooks, bakers

than two hours and were understood
to have submitted jointly approved
plan of procedure for the board.
Proposals Reviewed.
The proposals, among other things,
called for:
/. A board composed of four la
bor, four industry and either one or
three representatives of the public.
2. Disputes which have failed OF
agreement by collective bargaining,

To 90 Days Supply
OF Fats and Oils
Manufacturers Propose
Cut in Consumption
As Conservation Move
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Government yesterday for
bade any manufacturer or process
or of fats and oils from buying
up more than 80 days supply
About 1900 kinds of fats and oils
were covered in the action by the
priorities division of the Office of
Production Management, designed
to prevent the accumulation Of un-
necessarily large stocks by CONNER
cial and industrial users. Soap and
paint makers are among the largest
consumers affected.
In another conservation move, at
the suggestion of the o. P. NJ, can
manufacturers today proposed to cut
the induStry'S consumption of tin
from 36950 tons this year to 81 900
tons in 1912 and 28,750 tons in 1943.
The fats and oils order, effective
Immediately, expires next January
81. 1t covers cottonSeed oil and lard
in the raw materials state, but not
as finally processed for home use
Not covered are mineral oils and
the So-called essential" oils, such
as lemon, champion, Glove, winter
green and citronella.
- Many Cut Off by War.
Many of the affected products are
imported from the Far East and
have been cut off by the Pacific
war, and others are domestic oils
which can be used in place of the
imported oils.
Among the most important oils
affected by the order are linseed,
cottonseed, tung, olive, coconut
palm. soybean, castor, fish and fish
liver.
The order defines the items af-
fected as "all of the raw, crude and
refined fats and oils, their by
products and derivatives, greases,
except essential oils, mineral oils
and butter"
Exempted from the order were
sales of fats and oil products in
the finished form, sales of refined
edible fats and oils Except olive
OLD through wholesale and retail
channels, and sales made directly
to the baking, restaurant, hotel and
other cooking trades, and sales of
lard, destined for human consump-
ton without further processing.
The order prohibits any delivery
Of the affected products to manu-
facturers or professors in excess of
80 days operating supply.
Tin Reduction Methods Studied.
The tin reduction recommended
tions were presented at a meeting
of representatives of the Can Manu-
factourers' Industry Advisory Com
mittee with o. P. M. officials yes
terday.
Two principal methods of re-
ducing tin consumption were
considered at the meeting: Elm
mating non-essentia1 uses of cans,
and thinning the gauge of tin used
in tin cans. One proposal would
eliminate the use of tin for to-
bacco containers and reduce sub
stantlally the amount used in
containers for coffee, shortening,
paint and toilet articles such as
talcum powder.
The program decided on must
be approved finally by o. P. M. and
some defense officials indicated they
might make the tonnage reductions
even more drastic before approving
them. The tinmakers were told,
moreover, that the amount of steel
plate allocated to can manufac-
turers might be cut. So far the
industry has not been affected by
the steel allocations program.

Federal Home Loan
Bank Offers HeIp
On Priorities
Only Few Critical
Materials on Program
So Far, la Rogue Says

An adequate supply of application
blanks for builders who want prior
tiles on defense housing materials
are available at the Federal Home
Loan Bank of WINSTON Salem to the
lat member building and loan asso-
Citations in the Al. cities and towns
which qualify within defense areas
in Alabama, District of Columbia,
Florida. Georgia Maryland, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Vir-
ginia, o K. La Rogue, president of
the bank, said today.
He stated that to expedite the
building program, the O. P Nj. order
makes the building and loan insti-
tutlOnS one source Of distribution Of
the priorities forms to builders, since
they have financed approximately
$3.50 100000 of home ownership in
the Southeast during the first eight
months of this year.
The bank president stressed the
need for complete understanding of
the priorities system and its purpose
in order to keep the home building
program of the rest of 1941 from
begging down,
Actually only a relatively few
critical materials for home building,
and those mostly in the metal group,
are in the priOritleS program this
early he,g said. Anybody who
wants lumber or bricks or plaster,
for example, for a house gets them
by the same process as ever.
The bank 5 member institutions
in nOn-defense areas expect to con-
tlnue the l94l record volume of
home-building at least until the
winter sets in, once the fact be-
comes clear that prioritieS were not
set up to deprive builders in those
areas but only to give first. deliveries
on the critical stuff to defense house
builders.
Building and loan association
managers. however. are being ad-
vised to take some precautions before
making commitments for construc-
ton loans, so that they can be GER
tain the builder has the material to
finish a house, when they make the
loan on It. A house left standing
half done for months is useless to
everybody concerned and a liability
to financing institution which has
lent any money on it, - Mr. La Rogue
commented.
