Is Anticipated Today

T, tie Associated Press.
A long discussed reorganization OF
the War Production Board which
is expected to strengthen civilian
control of the more important
phases Of war production was due
today.
Oficials said Chairman Donald
M. Nelson would abolish the Army
and Navy Joint Munitions Board
and transfer to WPB's civilian ex-
perts the ultimate control of al
location and use OF the Nations
material resources while the WPB's
production and purchases division
would be transferred to the Army
to be fitted into the Services OF
Supply.
Under a tentative plan Mr.. Nelson
submitted to President Roosevelt
more than a week ago, three OF
four deputy chairmen would be
delegated authority to run WPB and
make its decisions. William L. Bait
and James S. Knowlson, key mer
in the present WPB setup, wouiC
be two of the deputy chairmen, il

NIOw YOU CAN SAVE charges when
~ you borrow. The new Household
Finance office in Silver Spring makes
loans of $50 to $500 at the reduced
rate of only go per month. You are
invited to apply for whatever amount
you need.
Households rate of go per month
Is just slightly more than half the
maximum rate of 3129o per month
permitted by the Maryland Small
Loan Law. Why pay more than you
have to for your loan? At Household
you can save almost half.
Cost Of $50 lean only $2.52
Suppose you borrow S10O and repay
in six monthly instalments of S17.85
each--a total of SlO7.l0. The cost of
your loan is just S7.10. At the lawful
maximum rate you would pay $l2.62.
Household'srate thus saves you $5.52.
Or take $50 loan repaid in four
monthly instalments of S13. 13 each
total of $50 So. Your loan at House
hold costs only S2.52. At the lawful
maximum rate this same loan would
cost &.64.

his year with the federation by a
few cardinal principles. He had
first kept in mind the many service

short of supreme effort by the
churches and great expansion of
their work, DR.. Tippy added, could
bring the service OF religion to
these new people.
The challenge of this increase In
population, he said, demanded q
correlation Of church forces with q
voluntary but strong central Office
In which the churches could unite
freely and to which the community
could turn for spiritual, educational
and social guidance.

The Herald describes Lord Halifax's

Gene Larkin, Woodmont golf pro,
thinks the national PGA cham

definitely, but he senses the feeling
of the pros to be that the national
pro tourney will be cancelled at the

poned final action on the tourney
until early next year.

but my guess is that the 1943 PGA
championship won't be played.
Sam Snead, the champ, is in the

will be in uniform before spring

troubles. and the fact that many
of the top men won't be around, 1
don't think the tournament will be
held next year"

throughout the land want small
