ping orders were being prepared to
bring in 10000 of the boots in Au-
gust when the WPB civilian supply
branch decided there should be a
stockpile of half million rubber
boots. 1t didn't want OCD to rob
the stockpile merely to hang them

as do the auxiliary firemen who are

Another branch of WPB and an
other problem is involved by the

OCD asked for 1850 900 of them for

the War Department has specified
that only vehicles with these lamps
would be permitted to travel.
Some time ago, however, the au-
tomotive branch of WPB got out
an order banning the manufacture
OF accessories for civilian vehicles.
That branch got the OCD request
on July 2. 1t was explained the
earlier order would have to be
amended and that brought in the

5000 tons of pure tin and 297 900 tons

needed a higher priority and the
whole procedure had to be gone
through again.
Adequate priorities have been re-
fused initially and had to be fought
out and that caused considerable de-
lay" he said.
The WPB official contended that
OCD has always been given prior
tiles that seemed to be adequate at
the time, but gave this example Of
what has been happening to keep
vulnerable areas from getting the
equipment they sorely need:
Early in the game, WPB granted
proirities on auxiliary fine engines.
AS materials became scarcer, the
specifications were changed to take
the motors out and make the en-
gines trailers and to replace the
rubber tires with substitute mate
rails. That took six weeks.
New Sets of Ratings.
On July /, when the manufactur-
ers were ready to start production,
they said they couldn't get the mate
rails with the ratings they had been
granted. That matter was cleared
in week but, meanwhile, the Army
was granted a new set of higher
ratings and again the manufacturers
asked for higher ratings for the
civilian protective equipment
WPB asked the manufacturers to
break down the items they had to
get in raw materials. That inven-
tory took another three weeks. It
took another week for the Require
ments Committee to go over the re-
quests and set aside the necessary
stock piles. Then last week, the
factories said they didn't have high
enough ratings to get the accesso-
ries they themselves didn't manu-
facture and had to buy. That has
now been cleared up and I'VE are
all set unless we run into some
thing else" the WPB spokesman
said.
Another set of difficulties. not vet
resolved, has been presented by the
rubber boots. Auxiliary firemen,
working without protection, have
been asking for them and an OCD
official declared, 1--WE feel that these
people who have volunteered to
perform services in an emergency
should be given as much protection
as possible because they are not
accustomed to that exposure and
they are rendering a real service to
the public without compensation. 4"
WPB Wanted Stockpile.
OCD knew it couldn't manufac-
ture the boots because of the rub
Der shortage so it went out to look
for them on the open market. Ship

BY JAMES BIRCHFIELD,
Star Staff Correspondent.


WESTMINSTER, Md. Sept. S.
The crisis facing the world today is
primarily the result of the refusal
Of the world to follow Christ. DR..
Harold w. Tribble, professor of
theology at Southern Baptist Theo-
logical Seminary, Louisville, KY, de-
clared here tonight in the first OF
q series Of addresses on Christ In
Crisis" delivered before the twenty
first annual conference OF the Or
ganized Bible Glass Association of
the District OF Columbia which
opened today at Western Maryland
College.
Speaking on Christ and Reality
to more than 800 delegates from
the District in the college alumni
hall, DR.. Tribble said we are fight
ing today to defeat the brutal in
justice of the totalitarian philoso-
ply. 1--WE know that this world
must turn to the principles and
ideals Of democracy If we are tc
have a happy world social orde,
following the present conflict" he
asserted.

rocky road since priorities were
first sought in March. The locali-
ties which OCD has already decided
are in need OF the equipment en-
compass population OF more than
10000 900.
The decision on stirrup pumps, OF
which OCDr has not yet been Off
cially advised, also ends a struggle.
When stirrup pump was devised,
using non-critical materials, it was
found rubber hose could not be used.
Then OCD developed a substitute
hose, using q plastic.
While bids were being negotiated,
the Army found it could use the
plastic and 1t was necessary to
freeze the stocks OF raw material
used in making the substitute.
Meanwhile, it was decided there
was no point in manufacturing stir
rup pumps without the hose. WPB
had stopped the manufacture OF the
non-spproved stirrup pumps which
were having brisk sale at high
price.
Another Material Found.
This impasse was resolved yester-
day, according to WPB, when suf-
flcient supplies of another material
for hose was found and contracts
are now being let.s
Asked If the manufacturers would
now have trouble finding materials
for the stirrup pumps themselves,
as has happened repeatedly on
other items of the 10000 900 pro-
gram, the WPB spokesman said
large stocks of sheet steel were
available which had been intended
for tenders and bodies of automo-
biles. 1t is just question now OF
the manufacturers going out and
loca ting the material, the oficial
said.
The official went on record as say.

said, might have difficulty in find.

The Basler Nachrichten, like most

monarchist movement as an impor-

noted that Spain still has more i'm

them the food problem which ap-

La Liberte intimated this might
have been intended to set of new

as head of the Falangists, had
talked of the bombing as a pro-
British or Communist plot, but

the real flights. They should be
plentiful by opening day.
Down the Potomac the flights Of
greater scaup are the best indica-
ton we have seen to bring full
flllment of midsummer promise For
several years the great RATS Of
blackheads have ben missing. 1t
might be the return of the eel

eral increase in numbers of all
species. We think it may be both.
Anyway, it is good to know the
flights of other years that often
blackened the surface of the river
of Haines Point, are with us again.
Canadian Geese Reported.
1t is reliably reported that the
flights of Canadian geese in the
Sassifrass River section of the
Eastern Shore of Maryland already
are heavy enough to insure good
shooting. These birds will not
stay there, but continue on east
and south to the North Carolina
Sound country. What these large
early flights indicate is larger flights
when the great mass Of birds comes
down, which is when Northern
waters become locked with ice.
The greater numbers of geese
this fall, with a limit at two, will
mean still larger flights next season
and possibly a larger bag limit.
