Throughout East
Reported Agreed on
No Coal Shortage Held
Likely but Consumers
Are Told to Buy Soon

A special War Production
Board Committee has decided
to impose coupon rationing of
fuel oil this winter in Wash
ington and the East, informed
Government sources said last
night.
The committee, composed OF Price
Administrator Henderson, Petroleum
Co-ordinator Ickes and Undersecre-
tary of War Patterson, made the
decision, it was said, at a meeting
Friday.
Meanwhile, the Office of Solid Fuel
-ordinator reported that the coal
supply in the East was good, that
no shortage was anticipated, though
consumers were warned to lay in the
winters supply as soon as possible.
Details of the oil rationing plan
or the date it will become effective
were not disclosed, but q formal
announcement was expected early
IN the week. Officials of WPB, OPA
and the Off1ce of Petroleum Co.

been received so far.

it was sunk rapidly.
"An enormous oil slick appeared
on the surface of the sea, together
with bits of wreckage, which made
the submarines destruction evident.
THE companion of the sunken
submarine, seeking to avenge the
sinking, fired on another ship of
medium tonnage. The ship got an
impact at a vital spot and also
sank"
Then, the paper said, additional
planes entered the combat and depth
charges forced the second submarine
to the surface where the crew Of 80

towed to the coast.

peared in the newspaper FL Crisol

WaIkout Of 1900
Threatened in Five
Wright Plane Plants
Work Stoppoee by 1900
Continues After Union
PorIey With OffieioIs
Fs the Associated Press.

An independent union which
claims more than $4,000 men,
bers warned last night of a pos
sible general walkout at the five
war plants of the Wright Aero
nautical Corp. in the Paterson,
N. J. area after a brief meeting
with management officials.
The meeting had been called
after a 12-hour unauthorized walk
out of between 1900 and 1,50C
Wright workers and was intended
to discuss differences which had
caused the stoppage.
The company had said all work
ers would return on the 4:3O pm
shift, but after the conference broke
up announced that 500 men on the
shift had stayed away.
In a statement the union, the
Wright Aeronautical Employees AS
ISOLATION said the workers de-
manded an immediate answer to
their differences with the COM
pany, which had earlier been de-
scribed by the union as resulting
from the companys institution of
classiflcations and (wage) rates
without the knowledge of the men
involved"
A company representative said
that under the new classifications
and rates, no workers wage would
be reduced and many workers would
earn more money.

things were humming aboard the

out and wolfed a sumptuous break

be before any of us had another

soon take the place of steaks and
fried potatoes and scrambled eggs.
Then we made our final prepara-

Operations Chief Quits
WPB After His Firm $
Trust Conviction
Houghton Acts to Avoid
Embarrassing Nelson
Or Federal Agency

Amory Houghton, one of the
four top men in the War Pro-
duction Board, resigned from
Government service yesterday
to "avoid any possible embar-
raSsment" to Chairman Donald
M. Nelson and WJB that might
result from his company's con-
viction by Federal court Tues
day on an antitrust charge.
Mr.. Nelson accepted the resigna-
ton with very real regret"
Mr.. Houghton, chairman OF the
board of the Corning Glass Works
was WIPES director general fol-
operations. In that capacity he had
charge of the more than 40 industry
branches. His office handled priori-
ties and allocations Of materials
He directed the compliance and cur
tailment programs. He was q dollar
a-year man.
Named In Court Opinion.
Last Tuesday the United States
District Court in Toledo handed
down an opinion that Corning and
eight other glass container con-
Germs, and 81 individual officers, in
cluding Mr. Houghton, were guilty
Of violating antitrust laws. The
decision charged unlawful control
and domination of the glass con-
tainer industry. The order re-
strained the corporations from hold
ing stock in other concerns, and
restrained the individuals from
holding stock or Office in more than
one company.
In q letter to Mr.. Nelson, Mr..
Houghton described the courts
action. He said Corning directors
were insistent that he return home
to take part "in the many necessary
decisions affecting the operations OF
the business including those involved
in an appeal" This obligation he
described as particularly compelling
in view Of the war work in which
his firm is engaged.
Equally and perhaps more con-
trolling" Mr.. Houghton wrote, "is
my conviction that I can best serve
the country in this most critical
hour by taking the step which will
avoid any possible embarrassment
to you and War Production Board
in the grand job you are doing"
Mr.. Houghton said he viewed with
deep concern the successful outcome
OF the war, and that as soon as he
has had opportunity to clear up

Business Girl Selects
Four-Piece Ensemble
BY JOAN DEAN

KNOWING WELL the doubts
and hesitancies of the green
horn launching her chosen ca
reer, we have shouldered the
task of enlightening her
through a series of columns
about localities, just average
girls who are doing well in the
field of business.
Our first subject is Ruth
Roark, who hailed from a pub
fishing house in Atlanta, Ga,
last fall to busy herself as sec
rotary to the partners Of an
engineering firm in Detroit.
Since her position requires
pleasing both men. giving equal
attention TO their correspond
ence and telephone calls, she
absolutely has to be good. For
that reason we take every word
of her advice as law. Here's
the interview verbatim:
YOUR REPORTER: Well,
Miss Roark, what is the attire
of perfect secretary?
MISS ROARK: You're pin
ming me down, aren't you? I
find dark, simple clothes most
satisfactory, with a little spar
kle of jewelry or neckwear TO
add some life.
YOUR REPORTER: Then,
what is not the attire for a
super de luxe secretary? What
should you avoid wearing?
MISS ROARK: Now that's
easier TO answer. Bosses, as a
rule. have their own pet peeves,
but in general they despise
dagger-length fingernans, fancy
hairdos and the extreme styles
that belong to Mati-HariS only.
YOUR REPORTER: You
mean they prefer the mouse
type or the strictly tailored
girl?
MISS ROARK: No, not at
all. They want their girls Fri
day 10 look well paid and we'll
groomed as well as content
with the job whenever a GUS
toner comes into the office.
Never, never look down in the
mouth with hair awry and noses
shiny, clothes a bit aged or I'M
tidy.
It's just the idea that the
secretary should be as incon-
spicuous as possible. Her shoes
shouldn't clatter or squeak, as
open heel pumps are apt to do.

Play Clothes
On Practical Side

FRILLY PLAY clothes are
cute but we have a bunch that
this season-what with victory
gardens and such-we're all GO
ing to be wearing shorts and
shirts, which are practical out
fits designed to withstand wear
and tear.
One screen star has the an
swer-Frances Dee, who with
her husband, Joel McCrea lives
all the year round on a ranch
which they really work.
On the farm, Frances wears
shorts, usually almost knee
length, of heavy cotton corduroy
in brown or tan. With this, a
heavy cotton shirt, a leather
jacket. the latter sometimes or
namented Indian style. Mecca

OUT OF sight, out of mind
that is the adage that all too
often applies to the oven and
broiler sections of the kitchen
stove.
Both parts get coated with
grease, and the floor of the oven
is often roughened and black
ened with cake dough which
spills over.
For efficiency as we'll as for
looks, keep the oven and broiler
clean. After the oven is cold,

Jingly bracelets are out. too
they disrupt man S
thoughts.
YOUR REPORTER: Tha t
seems TO sum IL up.
MISS ROARK: Most bosses
don't analyze what's right and
what's wrong with the feminine
appearance unless there's a
glaring gaudiness involved. My
employer in Atlanta once told
us a secretary should be part
of the office furniture. not a
curio.
FOR DEFINITE proof of Miss
Roark's clothes contentious. we
dragged her off 10 local store
where she could choose the per-
feet secretarial outfit. Obligingly
she scanned the racks and came
forth with the ensemble in the
photograph.
There are four pieces in
cluded-a jacket blouse. an or
CANDY dickeY, one short skirt
and one long skirt for dinner
dates after office hours. In
qualifying her selection, she
argued that the dress is con-
sentative yet feminine.
What is more, since the usual
secretary is a budgeteer. the
outfit gives her her moneys
worth at SIS for the entire
array. She'll wear it year
round and often, adding varia-
tons, without wearing down the
boss stamina and patience.

Get into corners, and even along
