a skilled man a dollar more. and
then competitor pays a dollar

|WPB Discusses CurtaiIment
Of Paper Consumption
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Proposed curtailments in paper
and pulp consumption, designed to
cut most deeply into the least essen
tial paper products, were discussed
by the War Production Board yes
terday.
A WPB spokesman said the board
had merely reviewed the proposals,
and that no actual curtailments
would be ordered until after confer
ences with industry advisory COM
mitteeS
Several joint conferences have
been held in the last two weeks by
representatives of the pulp and pa
per, printing and publishing, and
containers branches, to lay prelim-
mary plans for the broad curtail-
ment program.
A trade source said the new orders
probably would not be effective be-
fore the first of the year. This
source predicted the cuts would fall
comparatively lightly on cultural"
items, which he identified as includ-
ing newsprint and paper for maga-
zines and books.
Items comparable to the panties
on lamb chops" he said, would be
cut deeply.

Mediterranean Route

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Reopening Of the Mediterranean
as route to Egypt and Indian
Ocean destinations would be equiv
alent to two months output of
merchant ships at the present
United States production rate, the
War Shipping Administration es-
timated today.
Reopening of the Mediterranean
to Allied shipping is regarded as a
probable result of the present cam
paign in North Africa.
The calculations we have made
on this subject" VISA said, relate
to the amount of tonnage that would
be set free if the Mediterranean
would be used to carry the same
cargoes to the same destinations as
were recently being borne around
the Cape of Good Hope.
The dry cargo shipping required
to undertake the same direct voy-
ages from the United States and
the United Kingdom to the MiddIe
East, Persian Gulf and India and
return, as were recently being un-
dertaken would be less by 1900 600
to 100000 deadweight tons if tie

The committee recommended last

lack of such planning for the failure
of parts subcontractors to keep up
with the assembly lines of large
plants.
Senator Kilgore said subcommit-
