CodtIess Officers
To Wear Insignia
On Collars Now

Army officers. who seldom wear
coats on hot days, are now appearing
with unadorned shoulders in re-
sponse to an order made public today
requiring insignia of rank to be
worn on the collar of shirts.
The removal of the shoulder in
sigma was found desirable because
they interfered with gas masks, car
bines and other military equipment.
Insignia of rank now will be placed
on the collar OF the shirt, when no
coat is worn, appearing where the
letters "US" were formerly dis
played. They also will be worn on
the garrison cap, so as to be easily
recognized.
When an officer puts on his service
coat, the blouse he usually wears, he
must see that the insignia is prop
erly attached to the shoulder straps.
The insignia must be worn on the
collar of field Jackets also but they
are seldom worn in Washington un-
less an officer is assigned to some
outdoor work task.

While the annual Army Navy
football game is still scheduled to
be played at Philadelphia Novem-
Der %. Army officials said today
there was no certainty it would be
played.
Officials said there had been "no
decision" on the advisability of can
ceiling the contest.
The principal factor entering into
consideration of calling off the game
is that of transportation Under
secretary of War Robert P. Patter-
son several times recently has in
dicated that the Army might find
it necessary to cut down spectator
sports to avoid a further strain on
the Nations heavily-taxed trans
portation facilities.
At a press conference month ago,
Mr.. Patterson said that, to conserve
rubber and gasoline, 'unessential
driving-on Sundays, holidays, va
cations and night trips to the movies
has got to be thing of the past
for some time to come"
In this connection, he said again

No Decision Made on Cunce|inq
Of Army-Novy Football Game

last week that the subject of spec
tator sports was under constant
study and development as to how
far we may go In cutting down
events of that type"
'As the emergencies of the war
develop" Mr.. Patterson said, "and
the pressures of war become
stronger, think it is obvious that a
great deal of our special events, such
as sports, will have to be re-
examined. They place quite a load
on transportation" The problem
was one for particular study, Mr.
Patterson said, in connection with
sports events which gather people
together from considerable dis
tances"
He made it plain that the problem
was not confined to private automo-
biles, but concerned also the rail-
roads and other public transporta-
ton agencies.
At West Point, 1t. Col. Lawrence
(BiffD Jones, graduate manager OF
athletics. said he had heard nothing
of cancellation and that the Army
was~going ahead with plans to play

On Sugar for Hospitals
BY the Associated Press.

Hospitals caring for persons
acutely i'll were assured today of
the same amount of sugar they used
last year.
The Office of Price Administra-
ton revised its ration order to per-
init such hospitals to obtain IS per
cent of their normal supply, instead.
of so per cent, starting with the
September-O October allotment. Add
ed to this will be the rs per cent
bonus allotment for all institu-
tional users.
This will give hospitals 80 per
cent of their normal consumption
The other 10 per cent is expected
to be made up through limiting
the use of non-patients and staff
members to the IS per cent level to
which restaurants and hotels are
limited In this period. Hospitals
for the mentally Ill. rest homes and

Wage Control Vital
In Hating Initiation,
Canadian Aide Says
Further Rise in Cost
Of Living Will Have
Serious Effect, He Claims

Donald Gordon, chairman of the
Canadian Wartime Prices and Trade
Board, told press conference this
afternoon he did not think the
United States can halt imitation
without control over wages and farm
prices.
Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son, the American counterpart of
Mr.. Gordon, who sat in on the con-
ference, agreed with him.
Mr.. Gordon said any further rise
in the cost of living in the United
States will have very serious effect
on Canada" which has had an un-
usually effective price structure up
to this time. ...-.-.-. .--
Canada Froge Wages.
Canada already has felt the effect
of rising prices in this country, Mr.
Gordon said.
Both Mr.. Gordon and Mr.. Hen
derson emphasized how closely the
economies of the two countries are
tied together. Mr.. Gordon outlined
anti-inf1ation and rationing meas
ures which are in effect in Canada
which may well serve as a pattern
for what the American people car
expect in the near future.
Canada, Mr.. Gordon pointed out
froze wages nearly a year ago and
keeps agricultural prices under tight
control. Canada now rations coffee
and tea, in addition to such things
as gasoline, automobiles, tires and
other products rationed in this
country.
Manpower Shortage Serious.
Mr.. Gordon said a shortage OF
labor was the most serious problem
now facing his country. He said
I'VE will have to make sure that
every man, woman and child is
placed in a position where they will
do the most good.
1.-The Canadian Price Admins.
traitor said production for civilian
use in Canada was being cut to &
minimum necessary for health, mo.
rale and sustenance. This program
is releasing manpower and mate.
rails for war work.
Mr.. Henderson said that while
he has worked with Mr.. Gordon's
office in the past, that the relation.
ship in the future would be con.
siderably closer. He said arrange
ments are under way for exchang.
ing price control experts between
the two countries
Mr.. Gordon pointed out tha
Canada has had nationwide ga.
rationing for six months. A de.
cision, he said. had not yet beer

that we were short of anchor bolts
for foundations of the new steel
mill. All our branch Offices were
notified to make an effort to Sc

THE TOWN MEETING
ENERGIES AGAIN

Under Office of Civilian Defense spon-

famlfications wider than todays horizon.
The OCD Town Meeting plan, one of
the best 10 come out of the storm-tossad
federal agency, will be tested this week
and next III several representative Amer
lean cities, among them Ontario in Cali
fornia. We devoutely hope for its success.
In the belief that if Town Meetings can
be revived under wartime impetus they
may carry over into peacetime national
life
Such a carryoVer would undoubtedly
do much to improve our everyday under
standing of national problems. as we'll
as improving the calibre of local, state
and national leadership under the spur
Of intensified non-partisan discussion of
all issues
Another by-product of a successful
Town Meeting program would be greater
unity within the affected area.
Ell Centre might do we'll to consider
regular program of Town Meetings.
with or without OCD sponsorship. We
have much to gain from such program,
successfully carried out. Perhaps our
greatest gain would be strengthened
community spirit.
the history of this country when alleg-

was matter of extreme pride to individ-
uals. In some places, it still is Those
are the places which have advanced most
rapidly in community projects, because
such projects receive the whole-hearted
support of all residents. Any program
which strengthens that community spirit
is bound to strengthen and improve the
community.
Town Meetings, in which everyone has
an equal chance to express his ideas on
any subject under the sun, are an ideal
medium for developing our interest in
what our neighbors do, think and plan
More than that. they would bring us
closer together in a feeling of mutual
endeavor, give us all sense of greater
participation in the communty's life.
Besides all that, they would be lot
of fun. We're threatened with the horse

but if they bring back with them the old

Russians Estimate
German Losses at
$4,000 Per Week

KUIBYSHEV, Russia, April 25.
CUP)-The Communist party organ
Pravda estimated today that the
Germans had lost $4,000 men a
Week-or a total of 1000, 000-Since
the Russians began their winter
campaign last Dec. 6.
Pravda said its estimate did not
include Germans who froze to death,
and the number must be consider
able. because the melting snow
has barred thousands of corpses.
Intensified air activity was re-
ported in dispatches from the
Crimea, where Russian anti-aircraft
gunners and airmen have shot down
Is German planes in 48 hours. Rus
sian artillery and infantry were
said to have inflicted further heavy
losses on the enemy.
Gen. K. A. MeretskovS armies
on the northern front have advanc-
ed As miles from their base through
forests and Do6S and penetrated
one TO two miles into German de-
lenses. After violent battle in the
forests. the Soviet forces killed 800
Germans, destroyed 100 firing points
and captured 1870 mine throWers and
machine guns, dispatches said.
