You deal them out according to
the rules and they will 60
around. But if you give one
player more than his share. you
have to deprive other players of
their share.
1--WE have just so much steel.
1t looked like enough. 1t was
enough for the quotas we set.
But when the shipyards exceed
ed their quotas, and demanded
steel needed for other equally
vital war producers, we had to
say no."
That is why, from time to
time, one hears Of shipyards lay
ing off men, though we need ev-
cry type of ship so badly. That
is why, in this shipping crisis,
the Maritime Commission had to
cancel the Higgins contract.
BIG STEEL INCREASE
And this is why, after sur
vey, the WPB has recommended
expanding the steel ingot capac-
ity to 98,279,970 tons by the
middle of 1943, an increase of
! $4,000 tons above the pres
ent rated capacity.
This represents substantially
less than the expansion origi-
nally approved last September.
1t has been reviewed carefully
to permit saving as much crit
ical material as possible.
Steel expansion uses plates
and structural forms-which are
needed also for building ships,
among other things. Whenever
a new bottleneck threatens, the
WPB has to consider whether
the material required for a plant
to break that bottleneck can be
spared from the immediate war
production.
In other words, often the
WPB has to choose between q
ship now, planes, now, guns
now, tanks now-to keep Hitler
from winning the war before
we are ready-and new plants
to make steel for more ships,
planes. tanks and guns in 1913
or 1914 or 1945.
In addition to this difficulty,
arising out of the efficiency of
A:-lerican mass product o n,
there is a further fundamental
problem which probably never
can be solved fully.
From day to day, from week
to week and from month to
month the world war situation
changes, because of develop
ents controlled by Axis Sue
cesses, usually, and occasionally
reverses.
One week the situation may
make ships more important than
anything else as. in the long
run, they are. Another week,
however. there may be pressure
for q lot of medium tanks in a
hurry, or lot of planes, or
many guns or mucl. ammuni-
ton.

10 Seek Members
At Tues. Meeting

Would you like to own a home
IN Greenbelt, the planned commun-
ity? How much cash would be re-
quired? How much would it cost
per month To aliye in this connaun-
ity and TO Share In the benefits
that are available?
These questions will be answer
ed at special meeting to be held
Tuesday, February II, at 8 >p.m.
IN the Elementary School. Floor

dents of Greenbelt, will also be
welcome.
Plans and specifications have
been completed for three basic
houses, and presented to Farm
Security Administration for for,
NAL approval. Bids have been oil
tanned, the contractor selected ana
plans revised to bring construc-
tion cost within $4,000 per house,
in order to qualify for a priority
rating. Financing details are now
being completed and it should
be possible to break ground and
start building in the near future.
However, a number of members
who had planned to build in the
first group, work with agencies
that have been ordered to move
out of Washington and this has
created five or six vacancies in the
first group. The purpose of this
meeting, therefore, is to explain
the facts to anyone who is serious
" interested, and to obtain suf-
ficient new members to completely

GreenbeH Can Get
Committing Service
By LYMAN L. WOODMAN

"If there's enough of you folks
in Greenbelt interested in a con-
venient committing SERVICE" said
the Berwyn B & o station agent,
81 can get for you. 1t just
takes three regular riders to have
the 8:08 train stop here"
At present, the only regular
morning trains stopping at Ber-
wyn for passengers are the GAP
and the 1884. In time, the agent
expects many Greenbelters (whose
tires are wearing smoothly will be-
come interested in train-com-
muting; when they are ready he
will arrange for the sos local to
grind to wheeling halt to take
them aboard.
On the basis of about eight min
utes by car or bus from Greenbelt
to the Berwyn depot and rs min
utes running time to Union Sta
tion in Washington, the outlook is
not at all unattractive to those
who commence work around 8:45
to 9 A. M. and can hike it to the
office from the station. When the
weather is more comfortable this
will probably appeal to a great

the exercise.
The return train schedule can
be improved too, according to our

present, the SOB and 6:25 trains
out of Washington stop at Ber-
wyn at 5:23 and GAP respectively.
If there are a few regular Gus
toners to warrant the stop, the
a 4:50 or 5 80 iron horses might be
made available to those who would
like to leave the train at Berwyn
at walk. The 4:50 steamer hits
Berwyn crossing about P. M;
the $50 number gets there about
$40 P. M.
Monthly commuter tickets under
the new rates (10% raise this
week. cost $3.50 for so rides;
weekly pass is $1.87 for 10 rides.
The Cooperator has been asked
to pass along the suggestion that
Greenbelters who order merchan-
disc by express or freight should
be sure to notify the sender to
ship to Greenbelt via Berwyn so
the stuff will not be delayed in
transit. "You have no idea how
much that will save on the spoil
age Of chickens, fruits, eggs, and
such," says the B & o veteran,
"as well as speed the delivery of
other packages" (Reporter's
note: The gentleman mentioned a
spoiled turkey, too, and deftly il
lustrated his point with a brief

The cooperative stated in its
open letter that it would "gladly"

authorities, according to Abraham
Chasanow, president of the Asso-
citation.
A stormy session on a new sal
ary schedule for town employees.
resulted in nothing more than a
decision to hold a meeting next
week to straighten out necessary
details. Although the councilmeIr
and Mr.. Braden agreed that in
creases in compensation were de-
sirable, they were unable to agree
on specific schedule or the
amounts available.
Payments to town officials for
time and effort given to town
affairs outside of office hours and
duties were approved in a resolu-
ton introduced by Councilman
Thomas Kicker and passed unan-
imously. 1t was stated that prior
approval of officials of Farm Sc
curity Administration had been OBJ
tanned. This resolution referred
specifically to the town manager,
town councillor, town clerk and
the director of adult education,
and was adopted merely to avoid
auditing and legal questions.
Conferences with Farm Security
officials on the town budget are
scheduled for next week. Mayor
Allen D. Morrison, Mr.. Braden and
others will participate.

Drug, Variety Store
Managers Appointed

Mrs. Elsie v. Steinle has been
promoted to the managership Of
the local drug store. The former
manager, Joseph L. Rogers, who
has been manager of both the
drug and variety stores for the
past year, will now devote full
time to the variety store.
An employee of Greenbelt Con-
sumer Services for the past three
and a half years, Mrs. Steinle be-
came assistant manager of the
drug store in January, 1910. When
the variety store was opened in
January, 1941, she was transferr-
ed to that store as assistant
manager.
Mr.. Rogers came to Greenbelt
iii November, 1889 to take charge
Of the drug store. At that time
the small stock of variety items
sold here was kept in that store.
When the new store was opened
last year he became its manager
as well.
However, with the growth CT
both stores, the managership of
either store is a full-time job in
itself.

WASHINGTON, June 18 (UD -
OyercroWded warehouses in some
sections of the country have forced
the office of price administration to
consider a plan under which house
wives could buy a years allotment
OF sugar in advance, it was learned
today.
Such a system, officials said
would hake it possible for house
wives to help store the nations su-
gar stocks on their own shelves.
The present allotment Of one
half pound of sugar a week for
each person would not be changed.
But under the system being studied
1t would be possible for a family
OF four, for example, to buy at
once the 104 pounds of supar it
would be entitled to during a year

wives aid in storing sugar was re-

amount of sugar purchasable with
