In a Joint statement the OPA

of all coffee and cocoa shipped
from Brazil TO the United States
is carried by Brazilian bottoms.
1t is expected, they said, that
American ships will be able 10
carry such additional supplies as
are made necessary through the
Brazilian decree.
With the Axis increasing its
attacks on Americas merchant
marine, one department of agri-
culture authority said, however:
Its anybody's guess what
will happen in the near future
because the coffee that il i'm
ported can't quite be made up
for"
According to the bureau Of the
census there was a three months
supply of green coffee in the
United States at the start of this
year.
The OPA and WIPE said the
Brazilian decree should not con-
stitute an excuse or invitation for
boarding.

Approve 6-Day
School Week

OLYMPIA - Attorney General
Smith Troy Thursday approved
voluntary holding Of common
school aud high school classes on
Saturday to shorten the school
year.
In an opinion asked by State
School Superintendent Pearl Wan
smsker, he said the state could
pay spportionment money to
schools operating Oh Saturday.
Teachers also could be paid for
their services.
Mrs. Wansmsker had advised
him many farming communities of
the state faced q serious labor
shortage because of able bodied
men being summoned into the
armed forces or working In de-
Tense industries.
Operating schools on Saturday
will enable them TO close down In
May instead Of June and to re-
sumo work later IN the fall after
the harvest Ia nearly out of the
way.
Troy said school districts did
not have TO hold Saturday classes
during the war emergency but
could elect TO do % voluntarily.
