and procedures for the feeding of
people in foreign countries, the issu-
ance of directives relating to the i'm
portation of food, and the issuance of
priority schedules for domestic trans
portation of food.
The functions, personnel, and prop
erty of certain agricultural bureaus
and divisions concerned primarily
with the production of food will be
consolidated into a Food Production
Administration, with Herbert w.
Parisius, Associate Director of the
Office of Agricultural War Relations,
as Director, and the functions, person
mel, and property of certain agricul-
tural bureaus concerned primarily
with the distribution of food will be
consolidated into a Food Distribution
Administration, with Roy Henderick
son, present ANA Administrator, as
Director.
Secretary Wickard said prospects
are good for meeting 1943 food re-
quirements, but in order to meet those
requirements the U. S. must use fully
and economically its production ia
cilities and distribution system and
exert economy in the consumption of
foods. Some foods may be scarce,
he said, but "no one will need to go
hungry" The Executive Order will
enable the Agriculture Department to
set up a national Assembly line" in
the production and distribution of food
vitality needed to win the war and the
peace.
Lend-Lease deliveries of American
foodstuffs for shipment to other Unit
ed Nations, as reported by the Depart
ment, increased 100000 pounds dur
ing October, bringing the months de-
liveries to 645,0O0,00O pounds and the
total since the program was started
to nearly 8,OOO,OO0,OO0 pounds. The
ANA delivery report showed increased
deliveries of eggs, dairy products,
meats, grains, and other products.
The War Front
President Roosevelt told Congress
that American forces overseas will
number more than 100000 by the
end of this month, and said "the Axis
powers have, temporarily at least,
lost the initiative" The owl re-
ported that from December z, 1941,
to December 7, 1912, the U. S. armed
forces suffered 58,307 casualties
37,678 in the Army and 22,629 in the
Navy. Maj. Gen. A. A. Vandergrift,
Marine Commander, stated that in the
4-months campaign on Guadalcanal
1000 Japanese troops have been killed
and $50 japanese planes destroyed,
with enemy losses exceeding U. S..
losses by 10 to l. During the first
year of war December to December
y, U. S. communicates have an
nounced the sinking in the Pacific
and Far East of 306 Japanese ships
and IS U. S. ships.
The Navy announced the 22,O00-ton
U. S. liner President Coolidge, trans
porting approximately 1000 Army
troops, struck mine in the South Pa

100000 WORKERS
IN DETROIT AREA
HELD AT WORK

An estimated 66U,UUU eSSehIIdI wal
workers in the Detroit area have been
held at their jobs by an agreement
announced by Montague A. Clark,
Michigan Director of the War Man
mower Commission. The agreement
intended to prevent labor pirating
and dislocations caused by shifting of
workers to higher-paying jobs-lists
81 categories in which employees may
not leave their jobs without specific
Governmental authorization. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Executive Order set
ting up the new War Manpower Com
mission under the Craftsmanship of
Paul v. McNutt had provided that,
when the effective prosecution of the
war required it, all war workers be
hired, rehired and recruited through
the U. S. Employment Service, and
had prohibited employers from re-
tanning workers more urgently need
ed in a more essential occupation. Mr..
McNutt said the new program en-
braces the ALLEGATION of manpower to
the armed forces, war industries, agri-
culture, and other essential civilian
activities, the efficient use of labor
for war industries, the mobilization of
the country's labor reserves, the trans
fer of workers from less essential
activities to more essential activities,
and the providing of labor needed for
essential agriculture. He announced
the establishment of Bureau of Sc
Iective Service-to include the Selec-
tive Service System and to be headed
by Selective Service Director Hershey
within the new VINO, and said that
by the end of 1943 one out of every
five men in the civilian labor force,
instead of one out of every nine, as
now, would be in the armed services.
The VINO and the Selective Ser
vice System are helping the country's
war plants draw up manning table
forms to enable the employer to plan
for his future labor needs and give
the Government information upon
which to base the orderly withdrawal
of workers who must be released to
the armed services. Secretary of
Labor Perkins reported 100000
women employed as factory wage
earners in mid October, as compared
with 100000 in October 1941, and
said that in the same period total
factory wage workers increased from
11,4O0,000 to 12,700,000. Under Sec
rotary of War Patterson said the av-
erage work week should be raised in
all wage and non-war industries from
the present average of 428 hours to
an overall average of 48 hours.
Agriculture
An Executive Order of December
gave full control over the nations
food program to Secretary of Agri-
culture Wickard. Mr.. Wickard is to
control all phases of the food pro-
gram-requirements, production, dis
tribution, priorities and ALLEGATIONS,
purchase and procurement. To permit
effective use of these controls, the
order provided for the procurement
from WPB of farm machinery, sup
plies and equipment necessary to car
ry out the program, the power to or
der civilian rationing of foods through
oPA, the determination of policies

Civilian Supply

Civilian goods will diminish steadily
in 1943, and every effort must be
made to insure continued production
of civilian supplies through the con-
centration of output in few plants,

of the Office of Civilian Supply.

Sees No Lack Of Golf Balls
 For 2 Seasons

Cleveland, O., May 27-(UP)-J. s. Newman, prominent Cleveland dis tributor and sports equipment au- thority, advises golfers to stop wor- rying, that they will be able to con- tinue to play all of this summer and next summer, too.
 Newman is positive" that there are enough golf balls in circulation to keep the game of golf alive for at least two years," and he says that by that time the artificial rubber supply should afford enough rubber to start production again."
 However, Newman does see a great many changes in the individ- ual golfers attitudes and actions. For one thing" he pointed out, practically every golfer is going to be like the Scotchman who re.ires from the game when he loses his ball."
 Re-Capping Major Factor
 Golfers are going to be more cautious and less particular" he said.
 He predicted that they'll be more cautious in their treatment of balls and their attempts not to cut them; less particular about using recapped balls.
 The recap business, according to Newman, is neither large nor profit able, but is going to be the major factor in keeping thousands of dozens" of balls in circulation.
 There always was a used-golf ball industry" he said. For years organized companies have brought used balls from caddies, profession als, and people who live in the neighborhood of golf courses. They washed and painted them and put them back on the market"
 Employ Divers
 "A good ball." he said, "can lie in water all winter-if it has no deep gashes - and still be re- capped" Newman reported that as many as 18,000 balls a year have been recovered from a single water hazard.
 He said that some companies lease the right to hunt balls and some use divers uniforms for re- covery purposes.
 "Balls always come to life again; there's a very small percentage oi them permanently lost" Newman states. as he predicted that every golfer will be combing his locker looking for old balls, relacquerina his old ones, and sending the chil- dren out ito get rich quick" oS finding others. .v.
 Although he Is convinced of the sufficiency of the two-year supply and not worried after that time, ht forsees the transformation of some golf courses to landing fields anc other war purposes. He pointed oul the Nays recent acquisition of the st. Alban's course in New York toi a hospital site,

SERVO EXPECTED. TO PROVIDE REAL
 ROBINSON TEST
WeiIl Boxer Now Healthier in Garden-Match on
 Tomorrow Night

New York, May 27-Unlike some fight managers, Al Veil thinks that the best place to develop young fighters is in rings outside New York. He likes to take his young prospects travelling around the country and then to bring them into New York when, as he puts 1t, they are good and ready"
 That's the way Lou Ambers was developed and that's the way Weill has brought along Marty Servo, the hard-pressing coast guard welter- weight who tangles with Ray Rob- inson, undefeated Harlemite, in @ 10-round contest at Madison Square Garden Thursday night.
 Servo today is one of the top ranking 147-pounders of the coun- try. Yet he has made only two ap- pearances in the Garden ring dur- ing the past two years. Both fights came while he was still 8 light weight. In May, 1940, he won from Maurice Arnault, and in February, 1941, he scored over Freddie Archer.
 Practically all his fighting has been done in New England, New Jersey, and Philadelphia. Although he has been competing as a welter for more than year, tomorrow's meeting with Robinson marks his first New York start as 8 member of the 147-pound class.
 He comes into the Garden this time as a headline attraction. And with good reason. For Servo last September gave Robinson the toughest battle Sugar Ray has ever had and came within a hairline of halting Robinson's imposing win- ming streak. He followed that up by handing Lew Jenkins, former lightweight champion, the worst drubbing of the Texans career.
 Strong Choice
 It is true that majority of New York boxing fans expect Robinson to triumph again tomorrow. They have seen Robinson perform fre- quently and have rarely seen Servo. But among the veteran boxing men the men who get around out-of- town and have seen Servo often there is 8 surprisingly large number who are certain the aggressive coast guardsman will hand Robin son the first defeat Sugar Ray has ever suffered.
 Maybe Robinson is worried him. self. How else does one account for the fact that three times since last September the Harlemite Iran out" on @ return match with Servo?

FRANK DURETTE GIVEN TRIBUTE
 BY PETE FOLEY
NaugatuCk High Pitcher Better Than Shea or Ed-
 nlOnds Says Coach

Naugatuck, May 27-"He's the best I've seen in 10 years" Tn this laconic fashion, Coach Peter J. Foley of the Naugatuck high school team de- scribed Frank Ace" Durette of North Main street, twirler for the Garnet nine. Coming from any coach, this Is high praise, but from Pete Foley it's especially laudatory for Pete never has tried to flatter his atlrletes.
 We asked Pete if he rates Durette better than Frank (Spc) Shea, and he replied that Durette has more stuff now than Shea had in his high school days. Shea who was an outstanding twirler for the Garnet, is now with the Kansas City Blues. In reply to another query, the vet. eran Naugy coach said in his opin. ion Durette is better pitcher than was Frankie Edmonds, negro star for Naugatuck high some years ago.
 Durette turned in a fine perform ance Monday against 8 Crosby team that had shut out Gilbert high, Pete pointed out, the local youth yielding only one hit. He has been the main- stay of the Garnet pitching staff all season. He has won eight games and lost only one, this being to Gilbert early in the season by Q 5-4 score. Naugatuck's record for the season thus far is just eight won and one lost, so 1t is evident that the bur- den has been on Durette through out.
 That he hasn't faltered is shown byb his last three games, in which the opposition scored a total of only two runs, and both of these were caused by errors, MT. Foley de- clared.
 Durette not only has plenty of stuff but has good "head" and is able to learn fast and think quickly, the mentor said. This Is no case of brawn without brains for Durette is an honor student in the senior class.
 He hopes to attend college nsa;t year, and the school that gets h'm will obtain a promising baseball prospect as well as good scholar, Coach Foley indicatedh
 MT. Foley is relying on Durette to assure Naugatuck the Valley league title. Naugatuck has 8 fairly safe lead in the league now, having won five of its six league games. It still has four league games schedudled for the next 10 days. It meets Will by at Waterbury Friday and next week will play Crosby, Ansonia and Torrington.
 We asked Pete what Durette's first name was, and he smilingly admit ted he didn't know, saying he had always thought of him as "Ace." And judging from his performance, that name certainly fits him.
