Beginning Oct. 5

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O-(R)
Stocks of rubber boots and
rubber work shoes were frozen
today by the war production
board until Oct. S when they
will be sold o.. certificate only
to workers essential to the war
or to public health and safety.
Announcing the order yester-
day, WPB explained that ordin-
airy rubbers, arctics, CATERS and
women's and children rubber
boots, mostly made from re-
claimed rubber, will not be ra-
toned at this time.
The order, the governments
first affecting rationing of
clothing, resulted from a mount
ing demand from industrial and
agricultural workers for six
types of rubber boots and rubber
work shoes requiring a high con-
tent of crude rubber.
These types were hip-height
rubber boots; over the knee
boots; heavy short rubber boots;
light weight short rubber boots;
rubber pacs and bootet 10 inch
es or more in height, md rub
Der pacs, bootees and work shoes
less than 10 inches in height.
The order said that applica-
tons for certificates may be OBJ
tanned from local rationing
boards. Manufacturers, whole
salers and retailers of the ra-
toned boots and shoes must
obtain official inventory forms
from local boards on Thursday,
Friday or Saturday this week.
The reports must be filed with
the local boards by Oct. 5.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30
R)-A Republican prediction
that the party would win con-
troll of the house in the Novem-
Der elections was countered to-
day by a Democratic spokesman
who expressed the belief that
Democrats not only would re-
tain their majority but might
increase it slightly.
The Republican speaker was
Frank E. Gannett, assistant
chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee, who told a
party dinner last night that the
country was in an awful mess
from bungling of the war eff
fort and new presidential
threats to undermine the con-
stitution, and added:
eff the voters in November
will elect a Republican house,
as | believe they will, then we
can check the New Deal follies,
get rid of the inefficiency in our
government, prosecute the war
more vigorously and hasten that
happy day when our boys will
come back home"
Rep. Jed Johnson of Okla

gressional campaign committee,

present membership of the
house is: Democrats, 256; Re-
publicans, 165, with minority
parties and vacancies making up
the remainder of the 435. A
clear majority is 218. On the
present basis, the Republicans
would have to capture more

not lose any of their own to Or
ganize the next house,.
johnson said there were about
40 Democrats and as many Re-

or less.
Those seats are all in the
doubtful territory" he said. 1--WE

LOSING CONFIDENCE
Gannett, addressing 20 mem
bers of the c.. o. p. national
executive committee and Re-
publican members of the senate
and house, declared the public
was losing confidnce in the man.
agement of the war. He said it
was the fault of the "higher-ups
on the home 'front.'" not the men
in uniform. He demanded that
the failures be thrown out"
and men of ability and expert
ence put in their places.
Urging his party to demand a
Centralized or unified" COM
mand for the armed forces, Gan
nett said the army and navy
were still jealous of each other
and the top men in each branch
were not giving adequate rec
ignition to air power.
He said the presidents threat
to act to control prices and
wages if congress failed to dc
so was a "piece of official i'm
pertinence" which displayed q
willingness to "usurp the law
making function"
Gannett, publisher of a Ro,
chester, N. Y. newspaper, said
freedom of the press also wa.
being threatened and that i'm.
portant news was being "helo
back needlessly."
II maintain that to win this
war, we must keep the people
informed and thus strengthen
their morale" he declared, add
ing that for a long time there
had been "a deliberate plan by
the administration to smear
weaken and destroy our news
papers because they have dared
to criticise New Dealism."
THE radio" he continued
lis under control because it is

over the air is being increasing

to control the press.
THE pending suit against the
Associated Press has this OBJ
jective. If the A. p. can be made
a public utility then there will
be removed the last barrier in
the way of putting all wire serv-
