Fleming was named acting executive director last week. Other appoint ments h the office of executive director were: Leonard A. Hearn, budget and administrative planning service; Harold s. Ditterer, admin istratlve services; Barnard c. Gavit, general counsel and Philip S, Broughton, information director, all of whom had been in like positions heretofore.

 Bureau of Tralning--Dr. ". W. Charters.
 Bureau of Placement--Cslen E. Broadway.
 Bureau of Labor Utilization (To be announced).
 Bureau of Program Planning Review-William Haber.
 Another announcement expected yesterday has been delayed until today or tomorrow--the full plan for using colleges and universities for training personnel of the armed forces in medicine and other sciences. Minor details remain to be ironed out.
 Dr. Edward c. Elliott, president of Purdue University and the key man for WING in preparing the plan, said he was deluged with calls from presidents of colleges and univer- sities who are concerned over wether students should return for new semesters starting after the holidays.
 T am telling them to instruct the students to come back" Elliott said
 Elliott said questionnaires had been sent to all institutions Mon- day asking them what facilities they rave. When they are analysed the tint WING, Army and Navy board, which will be formed to ad- binistrate the training, will decide how many will be sent to those chosen. That would delay initiation l of the training until late January.

OFFICIAL RULING
 EXPECTED SOON
Postal Employees in Doubt on Provisions of Wage
 Increase; Overtime Pay

Lack of further information that postal employees may benefit from the new federal salary increase legislation created feeling of doubt among local postofiioe clerks and employees who yesterday displayed great cheerfulness on learning they may receive their first raise In more than l5 years, However, clarifica- ton of the provisions of the bill, which is awaiting the presidents signature, is expected here shortly and disappointment In evidence to- day may yet vanish,
 A message from tho National As- sociation of Letter Carriers re. vealed overtime pay would he in. creased from a6 cents per hour to i.09. Since many postal employees here have been working overtime on Saturday, some heneflt will be derived from the overtime clause of the bill, Substitute workers now getting 65 cents an hour will re- ceive a ten per cent increase, the communication states, but no mem ton is made of pay increases for regular workers.

Washington, Dec, l7.-tUP)-A possibility appeared today that Ad- miral Jean Francois Darlan will be- come the center of Q sort of pro- visional French government for the duration of the war.
 That was seen on the basis of Darlans repudiation of any polit- cal ambition and his pledge that the French people will choose their own government when the time comes.

brought the idea back to this
country in 1888. Our youth

and it's been gaining ground like

Prune Dishes
Don't Strain
Sugar Supply
By PRUDENCE PENNY

DRIED FRUITS, while always
included in the pantry staples,
have been gaining in popularity
recently. Due to their natural
fruit sugars they may often oe
used as all or part of the dessert
or other place in the meal where
sugar plays an important part.
Prunes are in the line of de-
Tense from a patriotic stand
point not only because of their
nutritive value but because they
save on transportation space and
there is no loss TO either grocer
or homemaker, through spoilage
in handling.
They are concentrated since
one pound of the dried fruit rep
resents three pounds fresh from
the tree.

no sweetening when served

is demanded, two tablespoons of
sugar or honey, or four table
