Presidents directive of October 10? he asked.
 "No."
 Didn't you knew that Russia needed oil refineries and that the President on October 10 ordered that oil equipment move to Russia immediately?
 The Procurement officials said they had not known about this. However, they went to work im- mediately.
 Then Brennerman went back to the War Production Board to sec why Treasury's Procurement had not been notified of the urgency of sending oil equipment to Rus sia. He called on tive young men who had the matter in charge.
 Didn't you receive an order from Mir. Ebsrstadt tFred Ebcr- stadt. in charge of the WIPE priorities) giving Russian oil equipment an AAi priority?' he asked.
 "Yes, we did" was the answer.
 Didn't you know the Presi- dent of the United States had issued a directive about this on October l0?" Brennerman con- tinued.
 "Yes."
 Well. why did you hold these things up then?"
 The order would have thrown some other things out of gear, with the reply.
 "In other words." said Bren- herman. you put your judgment against that of the President of the United States and against Mir. Eberstadt's. And you di.nt take the trouble to tell them you disagreed with them. You just sat here ignoring their orders. Do you know what would hap pen to you if you ignored ore ders in the Army? You would he shot"
 The two young men listened They were not particularly im- pressed. Orders have been ig- nored before around Washing ton, even presidential orders. SC they didn't seem much worried Finally they said to Brennerman
 .Why don't you ,go back and take care of your oil equip ment?"
 He did. But at least oil equip ment is now moving toward the Ural mountains.

 Three years ago. a young man named Russell Mcguire bought the Thompson sub-machine gun popularly known as Tommy Gun" from Thomas Fortune Ryan The gun was then considered Q failure. Ryan had poured money into it. but got nowhere. And when Mcguire first bought 1t, he also got nowhere.
 He could not even persuade any one to manufacture it for him When he approached Samuel Nj Stone. head of Colts famous re- volyer company, Stone said:
 That guns shopped around for years. Ryan lost millions on it and there's nc use your menkeying with it."
 "we'n put up the money for yeu," replied Maguire. I'll put 1t in the bank in advance. You won't have to take any chances"
 Well, I'll call the War De. partment," replied stone, -and see if they are interested He teiephoned, and got the imSne- diaee reply that the U. s. 0rd- nance Department had "abs0- lutely no interest in z sub- machine gun"
 This was in 1889. just before wal broke in Europe.
 Mcguire also went to Reming. ton and to Savage. None wanted to manufacture the gun for him even when paid to do SO. Flnall, he persuaded Savage to mak' some parts.
 Today, however, this younl man, who envisloned the sub-ma' chine gun as one of the outstand' ing weapons of modern warfare

dairy farm labor plus the extra heavy demand for shipments over seas.
 The weatherman and the COWS have all done their part nohly, this past year. The pasearage has been wonderful. the supply Of feed for the winter is adequate, though high in price. and the COWS have given like nobody's business, Only man has fallen down on the job.
 The goal set by the Department of Agriculture for ls42 was l2s bil- lion pounds Of all dairy products That goal will be missed by perhaps five billion pounds, and 1t is doubt ful of le42 production can be sur passed in le4s, considering the labor shortage.
 The 10 states leading in dairy pro- duction are Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York, Iowa, Illinois. Michigan, Ohio. Pennsylvania, California and Texas, in that order, These 10 produce about half of the bulk of dairy products in the country, and more than half of the exportable surplus. other state produce main ly for local consumption. Of the 10 leading states, all but perhaps Texas have reported extremely Sert- ous labor shortages.

produce about half of the hulk ot dairy products in the country, and more than half of the exportable surplus. Other state produce main- ly for local consumption. Of the 10 leading states, all but perhaps Texas have reported extremely seri- ous labor shortages.
 
 NO STATISTICS
 No one has any idea how many dairy herds have been broken up by this labor shortage. Statistics of that kind just aren't collected, nor are there any approximate flg- ures on how great the dairy farm labor shortage is. But from many areas come these reports and the decreasing receipts at the cream cries, plus the increasing sale of COWS for slaughter tell the story.
 Where is all this dairy farm la bor goinge One thing the agricul- tural economists are sure of that war industry is getting more farm labor than the Army and Navy. Draft quotas of farm boys have been heavy in some areas, but the big thing that lures labor away from the farm ss the better wage scale. Fifty dollars a week in an aircraft factory sounds a lot better than $50 a month on dairy farm. even with board and room thrown In. Also alluring is the fact that the aircraft fob is five days-40 hours a week. wi1ila the dairy job is seven days-56 to 70 hours.
 One idea being mulled over to provide some selectees for the Army in farm areas while still keeping the farms going is to set an optional minimum of say eight COWS which a farmer must milk if he is to 5tay in business. The number hasn't been decided on yet. but eight is as good as any to show how this would work. All farmers having less than eight cows would be subject to hav- ing their sons and hired hands drafted. Farmers with more than eight COWS would have their help deferred from the draft.
 It might be feared that ruling such as this would force the four COW farmers to sell their stock and thus further reduce the production of milk, but the Selective Service people say it won't work that way. What will happen. they say, Is that all the farmers with seven or less co=s will immediately rustic around and find enough cows to build up their herds to the minimum so as 10 get deferments for their help. TAKES ExPERIE.sCE
 One difficulty with the dairy farm labor shortage is that it takes an experienced hand to do the job. Let the skilled dairy farm labor go into var industries and you can't replace it with any migrant worker that comes along.
 Another dificulty is that there is greater demand for dairy farm labor today than there has ever been before. There might be shortage of dairy farm workers even if there were no draft.
 Any way you run this situation through the separator. it still pours out as less milk for the consumer. It yill hit first as less ice cream.
 Naturally enough. per capita Ice cream consumption has gone up DO per cent since I9S6. 100 per cent since igs7. You'n probably have ' cut down on that. And in its place. to make up the shortage. you might begin getting used to dried skim milk. It's a powder, and when you pour it in the right amount of wa- ter it looks like milk, and 1t has all the food value Of real milk except the butterfat and vitamin 4.

Fuel Oil Supply
Situation in East ".
Called Desperate
Dean Says Shortage Due
To Lack of Tank Cors and
Military Demands
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Joel
Dean, director of the fuel ration
ing division of OPA, said today
the fuel oil supply situation in
the East was desperate" be-
cause of possible deterioration Of
the tank car fleet, the military
demand for petroleum, failure OF
the public to understand and fill
out fuel rationing forms and fall
ure of OPA to get a proper esti-
mate of oil burners in use.
In a press conference here Mr.
Dean said that the East was almost
completely dependent on overland
transportation since tanker ship oil
shipments had dropped to negli-
gible total. He said the tank cars
on railroads had taken a hell of a
beating" and many obsolete cars
were being rapidly retired.
Relief, through the medium of a
pipe line to New York. cannot be
foreseen before the middle of next
summer" he said, although some re-
lief will be gained when the pipe line
to Illinois is in operation next Feb
ruary.
The printing of forms to be sent
to consumers for filling out was held
up, Mr.. Dean said, by the ''unprece-
dented burden put upon the printing
industry by the war" Many persons
did not understand the forms and
failed to return them.
At the outset of the rationing pro-
gram for fuel oil, Mr.. Dean said,
OPA was not able to determine the
quantity of fuel oil burners. Mr..
Dean did not say If the figure had
been determined.
