7een-Age Draft Expected
To Spur Blood Donations
Interest of Parents to Be Keener
As Youths Face Bottle Dangers

Registration of teen-age boys for
military induction may stimulate
greater interest by adults in the
blood donor projects of the District
Red Cross, it was pointed out today.
With more and more parents
directly linked with the war effort
through enlistment of their sons,
blood given for plasma conversion
and made available to wounded
servicemen becomes distinctly per-
sonal," an official said.
More Donations Asked.
High-ranking Army and Navy
oficials have called on the Ameri-
can people to make blood donations
In a larger amount. with heavier
casualties likely in view of employ
ment of more American troops in
battle zones. The District Red
Cross donor center has been urged
to increase donations from 1850 to
$500 week. Donations are taken
Monday through Friday at the
donor center. Twenty-third and c

The testimony Of medical officers
serving with the armed forces is that
plasma, applied on the scene to
wounded men, already has saved
many lives. II this civilian contri-
button can hold down the number
Of American casualties as our troops
battle the enemy in many distant

might be contaminated with the
disease germ. -

beware of the sluggish or slow mov-
ing rabbit-tfat a lively rabbit was

LONDON. Dec. l6.--A story OF
Morocco come to life" of a country
now adding stores of food and min
erals to the United Nations re-
sources and feeling the prosperity
brought to people who had been
bled by the German armistice COM
mission, was told today by the

from its western task force in
French Morocco that across the
lace of this rich country which the
Germans were draining to feed their
war machine, Arabs are plOwing
fields that have lain fallow for two
years.
Trade and production are coming
back to life again after a paralysis
self-imposed by the people, who res
sisted the efforts of the German

rocco of all its resources.
Taking 80 Per Gent Of Prodnce.
THE Germans were taking 30 per
cent Of Morocco's vegetables. meat,
wine, ore, fish, leather, fruit and
eggs. ---...... .........
Despite the showdown in Moroc-
can production, the Germans we're,
getting important quantities of ma
terials badly needed for their war
effort, and the loss of the protec-
torate is an economic setback of
twofold significance: The Reich has
lost resources, and the United Ma
tlons will profit from production
that will now return to the rich and
normal standards before l940."
The report said Moroccans who
had been starved and rationed for
months, already we're eating and
dressing better.
Because supplies will be replen-
ished from the United States meat
rations have been released from
warehouses.
Most of Meat Exported.
Under the Germans only a small
amount of meat remained in the
country which produces large guam
titles. The report said American
troops found $50 tons of meat stored
at Fedala for shipment to Germany,
although during October only four
tons of pork had been released to
the European population. Arabs do
not eat pork.
Fresh fish had almost disappeared
from the markets because of Ger

Legal Point Delays Lees
ASSIGNMENT 10 Air Post

The nomination of Senator Lee,
Democrat, of Oklahoma to be a
member of the Civil Aeronautics
Board will have to be laid aside until
the new Congress meets in January
because of the discovery by congress
sional authorities that Senator Lee
will not be eligible for that post until
his senatorial term expires Janu-
ary S.
The legal barrier arises because the
Civil Aeronautics Board was created
in 1888, at which time Senator Lee
was member of Congress. The
Constitution states that no member
of Congress shall. during the time
for which he was elected, be ap-
pointed to any civil Office created
during his term as Senator or
Representative.
The nomination may either be
withdrawn for the time being or per-
mitted to lapse with adjournment
today and be resubmitted to the
Senate in January. The appointment
is expected to go through promptly
at that time.

He suggested that some existing
structures might be converted to
hospital use, thereby saving critical
materials. He emphasized. however,
that this was personal, not an
official WPB, suggestion.
Senator McCarran, in decrying
the delay, called the WPBs action
''inexcusable," declaring that the
agency's experts were resurveying
what already has been surveyed
over and over again"
"A few less surveys and a few
more steps along practical lines
