Dairymen Foresee
Milk Rationirg

SACRAMENTO, July l. (UP)-A
statewide meeting of California
dairymen here yesterday endorsed
the prediction of State Senator
Robert Kenny that unless milk
prices remain stable and the worker
shortage solved promptly the state
faces milk rationing.
Dwight Il. Stephenson, chairman
of the dairy department OF the
California Farm Bureau, said there
is mo immediate danger of milk
rationing as long as milk prices re-
main where they are He warned
that if prices continue to drop
Dairymen will be unable to keep
their COWS.
State SelectiVe service heads told
the dairymen that no blanket de
ferment of dairy workers could be
granted. They said that any mar

to bother you too much by asking
for parts in pictures. But now I'm
going to ask for something, Mr.
Glisp. want screen test"
That's a true story. In fact, with
variations, it has happened scores
OF times. And it suggests that
movie companies richly deserve
what they're getting-an acute
shortage of leading men.
I've Just met Charles Drake at
Warmers and found him rejoicing
in q small role in Now Voyager. "
He appears as rejected boyfriend
of Bette Davis. In year and a
half at the studio, it's the first role
worth mentioning for this person.
able young man with Broadway ex-
perience.
He first came to Movietown in
1898 and couldn't even get inside
a studio. Went back to New York,
won a radio Gateway to Holly
wood contest and was returned to
the celluloid city b. plane. This
time he got interviews and en-
couragement, plus a thumb twid-
ding contract at RKO and a bit
in a picture ironically titled Ca
reer."
His name was Charles Rupert
then He made another trip to New
York, worked q while. and return
cd to Hollywood as Charles Drake
Mr.. Drake walked into Warmers and
signed contract, and was lulled
into thinking they would give him
something TO do. Now he's joining
the merchant marine: he knows
there'll be action.
BY sheer necessity, the studios
doubtless will have to put untried
actors into important roles, and it's
equally certain that some of them
will click. Man" stars of today got
breaks under similar circumstances.
Paramount still shudders at how
close it came to losing Fred Mac
Murray, He kicked around the lot
for a year and a half with never
a role meriting credit in cast list
ines. In 1885 came an emergency
call for a leading man to play op-
posite Claudette Colbert in THE
Gilded Lily" and MacMurray was
nominated. The producer, director
and star were not keen on this
lanky obscurit", but the picture
started. After four davs an execu-
tive poW-WoW was held to consider
vanking MacMurray and postpon-
ing production until some other
! actor was available. Rut they went
ahead with crossed fingers. "Gild-
cd Lily turned out fine, and Mac
Murray was hailed as great dis
coverT-a newcomer who had be-
come a star overnight.

CurtuiIed Funds
! TO Restrict OPA

WASHINGTON, July | CUP) -
The office of price administration
started a new fiscal year today on
n drastically reduced budget as a
spokesman said house action in
limiting OPA's appropriation to
$75,000,000 jeopardizes the entire
effort to hold living costs in line.
Reduction of the appropriation
if finally approved as passed by the
house will necessitate the dismissal
of $500 employees now on the Job
or "on requisition," the spokesman
said. He also said enforcement of
price ceilings on general civilian
goods, on rents in 367 communities
and on retail services will have to
be seriously curtailed.
The ceilings on retail services,
effective last midnight, cover the
prices that may be charged by

FDR Moy Order Courts
Martial for 8 Soboteurs

WASHINGTON July | CUP) -
President Roosevelt may personally
order courts martial for the eight
Nazi saboteurs who were captured
after landing in this country from
submarine, an authoritative
source said today.
Officials declined to confirm or
denT that Attorney General Fran
els Biddle and Secretary of War
Henry L. Stimson will place the
entire situation arising from legal
technicalities before the President
for the final say, but reports per-
sisted that they would meet with
him as soon as practicable.
The possibility that Biddlc per-
sonally would prosecute the sabo-
teurs was also being discussed, but
nothing to support this point was
Forthcoming from the justice de-
partment.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS
Officials said the Justice and war
departments we're in complete ac-
cord" on all points being discussed
in preparation for the trial. How
ever they would not discuss these
possibilities:
l. That President Roos velt
might suspend the writ of habe9s
corpus in the cases of the two citi-
zens in the octet.
2. That Mr.. Roosevelt would
have to draft legal counsel for
the accused so that no war depart
ment lawyer or civil lawyer would
be placed in an embarrassing posi-
tion by offering to conduct the de-
fenSe.
If courts martial are ordered, they
would be general courts martial,
consisting Of five or more officers,
including one law member from the
judge advocates office. The Presi-
dent is empowered by stitute to
order such trials.
LEGAL MANEUVER

citizenship could not be found.
1t appeared more likely that an
administrative ruling would be suf-
ficient to denaturalize them. That
would be done under the assump-
ton that their membership in the
sabotage mission was prima facie
evidence they had transferred their
allegiance to Germany.
The saboteurs had apparently at
tempted more than two years ago
to provision raiders off the At
lantic coast. Edward John Kerling
and Herman Neubauer figured in
a secret investigation by the coast
guard of a voyage of Kerling'S hea-
vilT-laden yawl Lekala.

SUBSIDY PLAN
Meanwhile, Frice Administrator
Leon Henderson is considering
emergency Inauguration of price
subsidy system to prevent immed-
late increases in the prices of cam
ned vegetables and fruits.
Henderson and Secretary of Agri-
culture Claude r. Wickard have
evolved a plan, it was learned, to
use commodity credit corporation
funds to buy farm products at the
statutory parity prices and resell
them to professors at the govern
ment loss. That plan would be a
stop-gap while congress considers
Henderson's request for general au-
thority to hold prices with sub
sides.
The plan contemplates use of the
commodity credit corporation funds
in q manner never authorized by
congress. But Henderson is said to
take the position that without sub
sides the OPA will be compelled
to increase the retail price of most
canned vegetables and some canned
fruits.
CONFLICT IN LAW
That will be necessary, it was
learned, because Henderson has
been notified by the agriculture
department that freezing of those
canned goods 1T the levels of last
March conflicts with the price con-
troll law. He received that notifi-
cation, congressional sources said,
in a letter from Acting Secretary
of Agriculture Grover B. Hill.
The price control law provides
that no ceilings can be imposed on
farm prices below ITO per cent of
parity, the 1919 to 1929 averages
or the levels of last Dec. l, which
ever is higher. 1t also prohibited
imposition of a ceiling on processed
farm products which will require
the professors to pay the farmer
prices below those prescribed levels
House and senate leaders fear
that Hendersons sugsibization pro-
gram has little chance of approval.

Suspension of habeas corpus
would be a legal maneuver to pre-
vent barriers to swift prosecution
of the case. 1t would prevent the
two citizens, Herbert Haupt and Err
nest Peter Burgur from seeking to
delay the proceedings by petition
for habeas corpus writs in the
civil courts. That would become

The company points out that
the men now work with new
materials. A machine that once
was milling cast iron may now
be working on armor plate. One
machine has six cutting tools on
it. each costing from $500 10

wreck the machine and tie up
the work of many men for many

Tool Costs. Supply
Become Acute Problem
in War industries
BY sILER FREEMAN

One of the big problems fac
ing the ex-auto industry, now
producing the sinews of war. is
how to keep down the cost OF
tools. This is beginning TO mount
up 10 one OF the big items TO be
figured in defense costs.
One company making airplane
engines estimates that each en-
CINE uses up from 5000 to
81 800 in perishable tools. The
same company's bill for tools
during June alone was estimated
10 reach at least $640, 900, which
is a considerable item when fig-
uring on a government contract.
IL is not only the cost OF the
tools that bothers the plant ex-
ecutive but the problem OF re-
placing them. None has as yet
caught up with its tool and die
work.

Keep Chart of Tools

At the Hudson Naval Arsenal.
a unique method is used to bring
this problem to the workers. A
chart is kept of every broken
tool and how many days pro-
duction it means TO each de-
partment and the initials of the
man responsible for the tool is
placed on the chart. II is said
10 be very effective in making
the men careful.
The tool problem Is much
more acute in the war work
than II was during car produc-
ton. Not only in the tool room
capacity but in actual cost. A
tool cost on an auto part that
was figured at 38 cents now
actually costs the company $lS.
