New Bans on Steel
Force More Plants
To Seek War Jobs
Defense Contracts Held
Essential to Keep Many
Companies Operating
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 15.-The Iron
Age said today new restrictions on
use of steel in hundreds Of con-
sumner products are now closing with
crushing force on many scores of
Woodworking plants and are COM
pelling more sections Of industry to
realize that to live they must get
war work
While many plants now facing
shutdowns through lack of steel and
other materials will not be able to
fit into war production" the pub
lication's review said. Others are
fighting to get such essential busix
ness. Interest in subcontracting is
soaring under the impact of the
new w P. B. restriction and de-
mand for information about the
priority system-under which the
Government controls material dis
tribution-is growing steadily.
Demand Broadens.
For another week, demand for
steel for Army. Navy, Maritime
Commission and lease-lend use has
broadened, with the emphasis on
lease-lend. For the second quarter
Of 1912, lease-lend steel requirements
will far more than double such
shipments In the last three months
of 1941,
Much of this material, earmarked
rush." Is SuperimpoSed on the
already unprecedented demand for
United States agencies.
Already competition for steel
among the big four war consumers
is reported and many steel plants
this week were running solely on
allocated and ALA and Alb or
ders
Some producers were able to 60
down to A-1-F, but lower rated busi-
ness is continually being pushed
aside. The increase in the amount
of steel production. which repre-
sents outright ALLEGATION and orders
in the Al series, is creating a sit
uation under which complete allo-
cation of ingots and semi finished
steel is likely.
Production Drops 1 Per Cent.
Probability of ALLEGATION of steel
ingots is threat to many nom
integrated mills, since many of these
units have been shipping as much
as 80 per cent of their production
to non-rated customers. . ."
Few days pass without some new
demand for steel plates, the Iron
Age said. Placing large orders for
small naval craft soon is likely to
add to the difficulties of the w. p.
BIS ALLEGATION of plates. Some of
these were understood to be under
construction in the Midwest, in a
program which is bound to be helped
from the viewpoint of material by
the development of the cast all
welded tank.
Iron Age estimated steel produc-
ton this week at 98 per cent of ca
pacity, against 80 per cent last
week, commenting that while the
scrap supply situation was "by no
means satisfactory" the drop was
due primarily to routine repair
work.

OPA Announces Gas
Rationing Details

Acting on information supplied
by Petroleum Coordinator Ickes
and at the direction of the War
production Board, Price Admin
istrator Henderson on April 23
announced that a temporary plan
for rationing gasoline in II east
ern States and the District of
Columbia would be instituted
May Is.
This plan, designed to meet the
immediate emergency in the east
ern States affected by the recent
gasoline limitation order of the
Office Of Petroleum Coordinator,
is an interim plan, which will
probably operate only until July
1, when it is planned to institute
more elaborate and compre-
hensive coupon rationing system.
The amount Of gasoline that a
user may receive under the plan
will be announced before May Is.
The States where gasoline will
be rationed under the interim plan
are: Connecticut, Delaware, Flor
ida, Georgia, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, South Carolina, Vermont,
Virginia, West Virginia, and the
District Of Columbia.
To Assure Fair Distribution
The plan, the administrator
pointed out, was adopted to assure
the public of fair distribution of
tht curtailed supplies of gasoline
under the new limitation order,
which reduces deliveries to gaso-
line retailers by 33 Hs per cent.
"The petroleum shortage in the
East arises, not from a scarcity
of crude or from refinery facil-
tiles, but from a lack of transpor-
tation MEANS" Mr. Henderson
said. NORMALLY more than 90 per
cent of the 100000 barrels of
petroleum products we consume
daily in the East is brought in by
tanker Since the start of the war
many tankers have been sunk by
enemy submarine action, and
sinkings continue. At the same
time the Army and Navy, pre-
pairing for offensive action at the
earliest possible moment, need
every tanker that can be pressed
into military service.
Industries Must Have Oil
There is also an ever growing
demand for petroleum products on
the home front, and every gallon
that comes in to any area must
be wisely used. Industries, thous-
ands of which are located in the
Eastern States, must have oil, or
their production of war materials
will stop. Gasoline must be used
to get workers employed in those
factories to work, or war produc-

Students To Seek
Athletic HOnOrS
At Braden Field

Every child in the Greenbelt
Elementary School will have ar
opportunity to compete in a field
and track meet to be held at
Rraden Field next Monday, May
II. This meet will take the place
of the County Meet which is OIL
dinarily held at College Park. Be
cause of the existing emergency,
the county meet has been called
off until the war is over, accord
ing to Recreational Director Vim
cent Holochwost.
Maryland State badges for
athletic prowess have been award
ed to 109 local boys and girls, 4o
curing the month of March. Plans
to hold trials in May for addi-
tional badges, have also been call
ed off for the duration. However,
the training that has been done
by students for the State badges
will be used in the coming meet,
according to Mr.. Holochwost.
Beginning with the fourth
grade. a badge is offered for each
year, through the senior year at
high school. Separate require
ments are listed for boys and for
girls for each badge. The irst
badge for girls is attained by ac-
complishments in balancing, trunk
raising, overhead throw, run and
catch relays; for boys, chinning,
standing broad jump, round-arm
throw, and 50-yard dash.
The second badge is given to
both boys and girls after they
have accomplished the first feats
in less than the original time
The third badge, for girls, adds
the 50-yard dash. For boys, the
50yard dash is extended to so
yards, and base-running is added.
The girls fourth badge, in addi-
tion to the former feats, requires
any three of ten different athletic
stunts; the boys fourth badge
adds trunk raising, chinning,
running broad-jump instead of
standing broad-jump. base-run-
ming, soft-ball throw instead of
round-arm throw, and any three
of ten different athletic stunts.
Mondays track meet, said Mr.
Holochwost, will afford ample op-
portunity to show the results of
the past years training.
