Nozi Radio Doubts
Story 1t Relates of
| Submarine Duel

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN (From German
Broadcasts), Oct. 3O.-DNB last
night quoted somewhat dubi-
ously) the Swedish newspaper
Aftonbladet as saying a Fin
nish U-boat had sunk a Soviet
submarine recently 'in an un-
derwater duel" fought without
benefit of periscope in the
Baltic Sea.
The German radio said the
Finnish crew operated only with
the aid of listening devices, and
added "this is the first time in
the history of naval warfare
that a U-boat was sunk in an
underwater duel If statements
made in the Stockholm press
are to be believed"

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Colder
weather spurred retail activity this
week with the broadest consumer
buying in many months reported
by some stores, Dun 81 Bradstreet
said today in the review of business.
Demonstrating the underlying
strength of income and demand"
the agency said, consumers in
creased spending for seasonal mer-
chandise to new record highs, while
at the same time stocking up lib
orally on staple and scarcity items
and starting holiday purchases
much earlier than usual.
Increased purchasing activity was
also evident in wholesaling and
manufacturing quarters, Influenced
in part by delivery delays and threats
of shortages"
The agency estimated retail sales
for the country as a whole at IA
to 18 per cent ahead of the like
week of 194l. Regional percentage
increases were as follows: East, 8

He remarked that he believed
hundreds of thousands of American
; women would like to help more in
the war effort, but that they do not
know how to go about it-just where
they are needed and what the op-
portunities are.
Legislation would be rquired to
authorize this canvass of woman
power, and probably that would
mean, the President said, that the
survey could not be made before the
end of the year. But he said he did
not think it should be implied that
national service legislation neces-
sarily would be delayed also until
that time.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he had heard
nothing about reports of dissen-
ton between Paul v. McNutt, chair
man of the War Manpower Commis-
sion, and Labor Management
Committee drafting a report on
manpower problems. He added that
he expected to receive this report
soon.
Murray Urges Farley.
Asserting that neither in man
power nor production "can we af-
ford to proceed without plans from
crisis to crisis" Mr.. Murray called
for the President to convoke con-
ference of congressional, manage
ment and labor leaders to integrate
'our procurement, production and
manpower agencies under a unified
directing and planning body"
Mr.. Murray said victory would
require the conversion mot merely
of some of our plants and some of
our people to war production, but
the conversion of our entire eco
nomic and social structure to the
single and important job of win
ming this war"
He said the Nation was faced with
the efforts of some groups to limit
planning to one end of the produc-
tive process. Representatives of
business in Government and out are
still maneuvering to avoid the fun
damental need in our materials
crisis-the need for planning of
production and of materials distri-
button from raw material to finished
product"
Turning to the War Manpower
Commission. Mr. Murray said it
! merely co-ordinates this confusion
of the discussion in Congress as to
whether voluntary or compulsory
methods are preferable.
To-day some members of Congress
are rushing to the hoppers with
proposals to draft labor or to freeze
labor on various jobs" he declared
Chief Difficulty Obscured.
"These bills and these debates
have obscured the basic difficulty
which runs throughout the entire
manpower problem and throughout
our war production program, the
difficulty of lack of planning and
lack of unified direction.

BY the Associated Press.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 3d.
No maximum price scale is contem-
plated for raw cotton by the ONCE
of Price Administration "other than
the Limitation which results from the
ceiling price on manufactured or
processed products" of the staple.
Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son made the statement yesterday
in answer to question at session
of Associated Industries Of Alabama,
but pointed out:
Il can't give an answer binding
for the duration. I'm living on
borrowed time myself. But the
cotton industry is one of the major
industries Of our country"
Henderson said the price of cot
ton ought to f1uctuate within ''the
structure of the price ceiling fixed
on cotton good so long as cotton
sells at a price that enables the
mills to secure their raw cotton
requirements and to operate at a
fair profit under the ceiling prices
on cotton goods" =
Except where it is found necessary
to make adjustments "in the in
terest of good price administrat ton, +"
the OPA does not contemplate any
overall changes in the price sched-
ules on cotton goods and textiles,
he added.

Although the first ore removed

emphasized it was too early to make
a thorough estimate of the impor-

New Plating Method
Saves Vital Tin in
War Food Cans
Hieh-Frequeney Rodio
Waves Melt Metal,
Spread 1t Evenly
BY the Associated Press.

by tne Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 3o.-A new
method of finishing tin plate so as
to conserve war-scarce tin and
eliminate corrosion in tin cans con-
tanning food urgently needed for
Uncle Sans fighting forces was
announced today.
The method, conceived by Glenn
E. Stoltz of the Westinghouse Elec-
trio & Manufacturing Co., uses
high-frequency radio waves to heat
the tin coating so it will flow evenly
over its steel foundation. It per-
forms IN one-tenth the time a task
that previously required ponderous
furnaces or huge watts or hot oil,
the company said.
The radio waves produce smooth,
shiny, corrosion resisting finish on
the plate, doing away with micro
scopic pits in which acid from GER
tain foods gathered, causing cor
rosion.
This is a final step in making
electrolytic tin plate, process
which uses only one-third as much
tin as the system of dipping steel
sheets into tanks of molten tin.

Is a genuine hazard when musicians
leave warm theaters and floor
