First warnings of the impending
shortages of noisemaking time
pieces were received here last jan
uary, when dealers were notified
that because of limited production
of new clocks they would be placed
on quotas. Recently, there came
another letter. Watch and clock
manufacturers, it explained, were
busy making bomb sights and tank
devices. No more alarm clocks would
be available-possibly for the dura-
ton.
Most local dealers exhausted their
stocks of alarm clocks about three
months ago, and since that time
have been busy commiserating with
heavy sleepers.
Staggered Hours in Picture.
The number of these, they report,
Is steadily growing, due perhaps to
the ravages Of time to previously
faithful alarm clocks, to the wartime
staggering Of school and work hours,
which makes it no longer possible for
large group of people to arise to
the tune of single clock, and to the
continued influx of new Government
workers. Government workers NOV
ing to Washington bring everything
from paper weight to a squash
racket, it seems, but usually neglect
to pack an alarm clock.
Mrs. E. w. Reeve, working in the
timepiece division of one of the larg-
est local department stores, says
that she receives about $50 calls a
day from alarm clock-less residents

Alarm clocks have become a
casualty of war, and Washington
ians caught short are finding 1t
difficult to check their slumbers at
the appointed hours.
Some members of the local must
be-at-work- time set have found
accommodating friends or land
ladies an acceptable substitute for
the clock. One has arranged with
a taxi driver to stop under his win
dow at a pre-arranged hour, give
a few horn toots, and then wait
five minutes-a system more popular
with his boss than with the
neighbors.
Other Washingtonians have been
bombarding drug and department
stores, even pawn shops, with fran
tic requests and with offers ranging
up to So for a 98-cent clock.

Federal Ban on Leaves
Involving Christmas
Travel in Prospect
{, ..ODT and OPA Act toF}o''
Prevent Breakdown in
rHoIidoy Transportation

= -
Thousands of Government en-
ployes face the prospect of spending
the Christmas holidays in Washing
ton, 1t was learned today, as a result
of efforts of the Office of Defense
Transportation to limit the use of
public conveyances during that pc
riod.
The Office of Price Administration
already has issued an order denying
leave to employees who would have
to use public transportation to
reach their homes between Decem-
ber Is and January Is.
An ODT spokesman said it was
virtually certain that all the war
agencies would issue no-leave orders.
The spokesman said further that it
was likely that ODT Director Joseph
B. Eastman would ask regular Gov
ernment agencies to invoke the same
ruling against holiday travel.
The Budget Bureau, through
which general personnel orders nor
mally clear, has not considered this
issue yet, it was said.
| Consideration Indicated.
The War Department said that
nothing along this line had been
done "yet," but it was indicated that
an announcement might be made
next week. Likewise, at the Navy
Department it was indicated that the
question was under consideration.
The OPA leave cancellation was
in the form of an administrative Or
der issued to executives of the
agency. The order said that las a
contribution toward solving the war
transportation problem" 1t had been
decided not to allow any annual
leave involving use of public trans
portation" during the holiday period
ODT officials have been seriously
worried about the prospects of a Sc
rious breakdown on rail and bus
service under the load of holiday
travel.
Soldiers to Be Travelling.
Thousands Of soldiers will be try
ing to get home for the holidays
The movement of these passengers
alone-in view of the crowded con-
ditions which have become normal
on public vehicles-would represent
a big problem.
But If civilian travel as normal Is
to be allowed on the lines, ODT
officials do not see how the crowd
can be handled.
Travel on Government business
will be allowed during the December
15-January Is period. Likewise
there will be no ban on annual leave
by persons living in or near Wash
ington, or those who can get home
by some means other than public
transportation.
| In official circles today there was
some expectation that Christmas
Day would be observed generally al
holiday, but that New Year would
4 be work day as other holidays have
been since the war started. Thai
matter will have to be decided by the
President, however, 1t was said. Un-
der wartime procedure, ageAcies
have been advised that they could
free employees whose services were
not needed. This win be the situa-
tion on Armistice Day and Thanks

Price Controls
On Turkeys Are
Fixed by0PA
Little Change Seen
In Cost Of Birds
In District Area

The Office of Price Administration
today announced price controls, on
turkeys, onions and potatoes, clear
ing the way for heavy Thanksgiving
sales of those commodities.
The price of turkeys in Washing
ton will remain approximately the
same under the new ceilings, but a
slight increase in the price of pota-
toes and onions is allowed.
The controls apply at every stage
of distribution from the time the
products leave the country shippers
hands, until the housewife makes
her purchases at the neighborhood
store.
Price of turkeys, potatoes and
onions had been frozen at the levels
Of September 28-October 2.
Other Foods Affected.
Also frozen at the September 28-
October 2 levels we're butter, cheese,
eggs, poultry, dry edible beans, flour,
mutton, canned milk, cornmeal and
Citrus fruits. Price Administrator
Henderson said permanent price
controls now were being worked out
for these products.
A result of the OPA action was
expected to be an increase in the
shipment of turkeys into Washing
ton from points in the South and
the West. Shippers in these areas
had been delaying sales until an
nouncement of permanent price
ceilings, and the OPA action will
clear the way for importation of
sufficient fowl to meet the big holi-
day demand here
Local wholesalers said they eX-
pected plenty of turkey would be
available in Washington during
coming weeks, and at reasonable
prices.
Cent Rise on Maine Potatoes.
The OPA ceiling price on pota-
toes allowed rise of pproXimately
one cent a pound on Maine po-
tatoes. Western potatoes, which
had been frozen at comparatively
high prices in September, were not
expected to rise in cost under the
new ceiling.
The rise in price of onions, al
lowed under the order, is expected
to be less than one-half cent a
pound. The new prices will become
apparent at retail in week or SO,
Mr.. Henderson said.
The prices established today will
permit shippers to pay the farmer
a price for potatoes, onions and
turkeys which reflects full 100 per
cent of parity and insures financial
incentive for maintenance of peak
output, OPA said.
Price Ranges Explained.
The OPA ceiling prices on turkeys
follow this pattern:
Most of the turkey crop is mar
keted in November and December,
with prices at the low point.
Prices then rise from January on.
The OPA regulations recognize this
trend, SO that while ceiling prices
on turkeys will be held at present
levels during the holiday season
they will be allowed to rise from
February until August by an average
of 3 per cent, then decline to the
base price for the 1943 marketing
season. -It..-r .F-
Price ceilings for wholesalers and
retailers of turkeys, potatoes and
onions will be calculated on speci-
fled markup over the individual dis
tributors met cost" of his largest
single purchase during the previous
seven days.
Net cost as figured by wholesaler
and retailer may be revised upward
weekly, provided the supplier's price
is raised. Net cost computations
however, must be revised downward
correspondingly each week if sup
plier prices are lowered.
