WPB Head to Name
Committee to Put
Program Into Effect
ey the Associated Press.

ey the Associated Press.
Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son presented to the War Produc-
ton Board yesterday q half-dozen
detailed proposals-including con-
sumer rationing-to alleviate the
fuel oil shortage on the Atlantic
seaboard next winter.
Chairman Donald M. Nelson de-
cided to appoint small committee
of WPB members with full power to
make a choice among the Henderson
proposals and order the program
into effect as soon as possible. The
committee probably will be named
today.
"Rationing of fuel oil was zone Of
several plans presented by Mr. Hen
derson. but that doesn't necessarily
mean that it will be the one Sc
lected," said a spokesman for Mr..
Nelson. who did not wish to be
named. Mr.. Nelson himself did not
comment.
Alternative Indicated.
One of the alternatives, it was
indicated. might be a limitation
order curtailing deliveries of fuel
oil to dealers and making them re-
sponsible for equitable distribution
among householders.
Meanwhile, Solid Fuels Co.
ordinator Ickes named committee
to tackle the critical manpower
problem facing the Nations coal
mining industry.
The committee will confer with
Chairman Paul v McNutt, of The
War Manpower Commission, and
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, selec-
tive service director, "in an effort
to stop further loss of men from
critical occupations in the coal
mining industry to other industries
and the armed forces"
Mr. 1ckes acted on the recon-
mendation of the Solid Fuels Ad-
Visory War Council which reported
manpower losses were seriously af-
fecting the ability of the ccal mines
to supply the amount Of fuel needed
for war industry and necessary
civilian uses.
$4,000 Employees Lost.
Mr.. Ickes estimated a net loss of
about $4,000 mine employees between
January ! and June 80, and said
loss OF men already is limiting pro-
duction In some areas" and threat
ems to become worse"
Coal producers report that large
number of men leaving the mines
are experienced, key workmen, such
as mine locomotive and machine
operators, mechanics and electri-
clans, often difficult to replace.
Members Of the committee include:

Japanese troops struck again and
again at the short American posi-
lions On Bataan Peninsula in the

The U. S. troops were said to
have beaten off every attack and

The communique revealed that
the japanese apparently have placed
their offensive on 24-hour basis,
hoping to wear down the American
and Filipino troops by their super

How long the outnumbered
American forces can hold out under
the storm of Japanese attack -
which is backed up by the full re-
sources of Japan's 14th army plus
special units and constantly arriving

But it was evident that Mac
Arthur and his men are giving an
exhibition of fighting courage equal
to the best in American history.
Macarthur again furnished evil
dence of the efficiency of his espi-
onage work functioning behind the
japanese lines. He sent to WASH
