BY STERLING F. GREEN

WASHINGTON, May POP
The War Production Board is
expected soon to limit the stocks
of goods which may be held by
retailers and wholesalers.
Such a plan is definitely be-
ing considered by the board, in
formed persons said today, in
order to assure an equitable sup
ply of consumer goods, despite
wartime production curtailments,
for all merchants and their Gus
toners.
The action would cover a con-
sumner field as sweeping as the
universal price ceiling which
went into effect on all re-
tail sales Monday; that is, vir-
tually everything that Ameri-
cans wear, use or eat.
Even broader implications
were seen by some observers
who believed that some such
program would be a prerequisite
to any widespread rationing of
consumer goods if need for such
action should arise.
The contemplated edict would
forbid storekeepers and whole
salers from building up inven-
tories of merchandise greater
than they held in some stipulat-
ed past period.
Although details were not di-
vulged by officials, it was con
sidered likely some provision
would be made for swollen in
ventories already built up by
many merchants in anticipation
of Tightening supply situation.
The extent of such buying
ahead was reflected in official
estimates that retail inventories
early this year aggregated over
$4,000, 100000 roughly 81 AGO.

PAYS TO ADVERTISE

Ken Ferguson, editor and
publisher OF the New Balti-
more News and the New Ha-
ven Press, told us yesterday
that he will soon enlist in
some branch of the armed for
ceS. When he does, his wife,
the former Evelyn Davenport,
might well adopt the tactics
used by the RustOn Na.) Lea
der. Here it is:
"RUSTON, La.-Headed Want.
ed: An Editor for the Leader
the following notice appeared
on page one of the April % is.
sue Of the Ruston Leader, pub
lished here by Clarence E. Faux
Jr.:
ITO prove the pen is nigh
tier or just as mighty, as the
sword, Uncle Sam has claim
ed another editor from the
RustOn Leader. First it was
Paul Wade who is now walk
ing around dressed up like a
marine, and now it's Jim Cor
tese whose draft number is
peeping around tie corner and
planning to take Jim off to
far places within a few weeks.
so, we have got to have an
editor, at least we think we have,
and we would like to interview
all prospective boys and gals
and grown men and women too
who would like to have a shot
gathering up the news and
spreading it on paper every day.
1t doesn't take too much expert
ence, in fact none at all might
be a welcome change. Anyway,
we want to take to people who
want to work.
Editor of tn, Ruston Lea
der is a nice fine title to carry
around as it gets you into pic
turc shows, ball games and
meetings and once in a while
a free banquet. It's lots of fun
and pays enough to keep the
landlady satisfied and the 9th
er customers guessing. We
have lot of fun down here
and will welcome a new face
like long lost orphan.

Move Designed to Assure
Equitable Consumer Supply
Provision Expected to Cover
AIreody Swollen Inventories

100000 higher than at the same
time last year.
If the inventory control order
follows the pattern of restric-
tons previously laid down
against the accumulation of ex-
cessive supplies of iron, steel,
aluminium and other war-esSen-
tial materials. it probably will
prevent merchants and whole
salers from ordering new stocks
until inventories have been whit
tied down TO prescribed levels.

Larger Role in War
Urged by HoIcomb
Fo5ma|I Business
BIumes Big Three of
lighting Industry for
Prompting Resignation

Pointing out that 80 per cent ot
Brltslns war supplies are manufac-
tured by concerns employing less
than 100 persons, Guy Holcomb
VINO recently resigned as chief OF
the small business section in the
antitrust division of the Justice
Department, declared yesterday that
the war cannot be won by organiza-
ton charts.
urging fuller use of the facilities
or small concerns in the war effort
Mr.. Holcomb, at a press conference,
expressed the belief that his efforts
IN behalf of the cold cathode f1uo-
resent lighting industry were
largely responsible for the pressure
from the War Production Board
which resulted in his resignation.
Activities Criticized.
War Production Chief Nelson, in a
letter to Attorney General Biddle
last week, is said to have criticized
the activities of Mr.. Holcomb as
head of the small business section.
The letter SO far has not been made
public, though Mr.. Holcomb was ad-
vised by Assistant Attorney General
Thurman Arnold, in charge of the
antitrust division. of the general
nature of its contents.
Present at the press conference, in
which Mr.. Holcomb discussed at
length the work of the small busi
ness section, were two leaders of
the neon-sign induStry-Victor H.
Todd. president of the Fluorescent
Lighting Association, and John G.
Sabatini of New York. Because it
could not obtain priorities and be-
cause of conflicting WPB orders, Mr..
Todd said, his industry had been
unable, during the past year to OBJ
tain needed materials. OF the $500
firms in the industry only about 200
have survived. he declared.
Mr.. Holcomb expressed the view
that WPB policy, in this field, had
been under the influence of the big
three" of the hot cathode fluorescent
industry-the General Electric Co.,
the Westinghouse Co. and the Syl-
vania Corp.
After many months of fruitless
efforts, Mr.. Holcomb continued,
conference was arranged on August
26 between representatives of the
cold cathode fluorescent industry,
WPB officials and representatives of
the small business section of the
Justice Department. This confer
ence resulted in a recommendation
that the industry be given materials
for 1000 transformers. This action.
Mr.. Holcomb asserted, has opened
up to competition the former mo-
nopoly of the "big three" in the
f1uorescent lighting field

1t was most significant" Mr..
Holcomb said, that Mr.. Nelson's
letter to Attorney General Biddle
criticizing the activities of the small
business section followed few days
after the conference Mr.. Holcomb
challenged Nelson to release this
letter for publication "if he has a
copy"

that certain officials of the War

Production Board, including its
general counsel. John Lord O'Brian,
had been unsympathetic to the
efforts that had been made to assist
the cold cathode industry by making
available to it needed materials.
Mr.. Holcomb emphasized the need
for an agency through which small
businessmen who felt they were
being Disseminated against could

complaints.
