Morgenthau Favors
Gifts 10 Treasury
Of Scrap Funds
Islip Presents SSH
Instead Of Buying
OCD Equipment

An Islip Gong Island) plan for
the disposition of money realized in
the sale Of scrap metal, in which
funds are turned over to the Treas
ury instead of local civilian defense,
today received unqualified approval
from Secretary Morgenthau and a
non-committal comment from the
District Salvage Committee.
Islip, a town Of 81 900 residents,
realized $2,57277 in its first scrap
collection sale of more than a
million pounds gathered during a
nine-day drive, the Associated Press
reported.
The Salvage Committee made out
q check for the amount of the sale
and four representatives of the COM
mittee - Roger o. Laderrandre,
Frank Singiser, Charles J. Meyer
and Robert Jones-presented the
check to Mr.. Morgenthau.
Morganthau Likes Idea.
THE people gave their scrap to
the Government and so we decided
that's what we should do with the
money, rather than put 1t into some
sort Of OCD equipment" Mr.. Jones
said.
e. Il don't want to get into any
argument with OCD," Mr.. Morgen-
thau replied with a grin, but I
think that is a wonderful idea.
We're the biggest beggars in the
world. We will take everything
from 10 cents on up"
Commenting on this action in dis
posing Of money realized from the
sale Of scrap metal, Horace Walker,
Salvage Committee executive Sec
retary, said.
Its all right with U.s. We have
no interest in the disposition Of
scrap metal funds, but we have sug-
gested that portion OF the funds
In the District be turned back to

form Of War Savings Stamps"
May Use Plan Later.
Perhaps, If and when the Dis
trict gets enough civilian defense
equipment, all scrap metal money
will be turned over to the Treas
ury." he added.
THE salvage chairmen can do
this now If they wish"
The Islip committee said it hopes
S"other communities would follow
suit"

that increasing Southern purchasing
power would put more persons to
work in the North making things
for Southerners to buy and 50 raise
Northern purchasing power too.
With a remark that he was speak
ing historically rather than po-
litically, the President said the buy
ing power of the South began
going up by leaps and bounds
after 1888. Before that, he recalled,
hardly any local store in Georgia
was solvent because of slow turnover
Of stocks.
U. s. Production Boost Seen.
The increased buying power in
the South certainly has not hurt
the North, he went on, contending
that much the same thing can be
worked out among nations.
Assistance in raising the stand
ards OF those nations which have
practically no purchasing power
will help us by enabling them to
buy things from this country and
keep up production here, he ex-
planned.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the appoint
ment last week of Gov. Herbert
H. Lehman Of New York to direct
American relief and rehabilitation
operations for foreign countries had
caused many persons to ask: Is
the United States going to shell
out" merely to help other people?
We'll, are we going to shell out?"
reporter asked
Mr.. Roosevelt replied that we are
going to help rehabilitate other
peoples from the point of view of
our own pocketbooks and our own
safety against future attack. He
remarked that the humanitarian
viewpoint was Of some importance,
too, but that could be left out.

Wangren Hits Delay
In Lifting Canadian
Embargo on Logs
Something Smelly in
Situation, Senator Says
At Lumber Hearing
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Wallgren, Democrat, Of
Washington contended at q sena-
torial lumber inquiry today there
was something smelly" about War
Production Board deals in getting
Canada to lift q war embargo
against expectation of logs into the
United States
Senator Wallgren made his state
ment during questioning Of William
B. Greeley, Seattle, manager of the
West Coast Lumbermen's Associa-
ton, who asserted the negotiations
had been well and capably
handled" by WPB Lumber Co-ordi-
nator Ben Alexander.
Mr.. Greeley warned that those not
knowing the full picture" of the
Canadian negotiations would do
well' to restrain their comments on
these international matters"
He obviously referred to q tele-
gram filed with the committee yes
terday in which T. r. Robinson, ply
wood manufacturer of Everett,
WASH. complained about the Cana
dian embargo and suggested re-
placement of Mr.. Alexander by some
one friendly" to lumber and mot
its chief competitor"
The co-ordinator was to appear
before the committee later today.
Mr.. Alexander came to Washing
ton In February from Chicago
where he was president of a
corporation manufacturing plastics.
Senator Wallgren also renewed q
plea that the WPB speed negotia-
tions with Canadian officials look
ing to early lifting of the Canadian
embargo against expectation of
logs into the Northwest.
If we could get these restrictions
lifted, it would ease the lumber
production problem of the North
west" Senator Wallgren said.
Meantime, the Agriculture De-
partment said it would continue in
l943 a program designed to conserve
timber resources from which naval
stores products are obtained.
The program offers payments to
farmers who observe practices which
prevent uneconomic use and waste
full exploitation of trees.
Since both gum turpentine and
rosin are strategic materials, pro-
ducers are being urged" the depart
ment said, Ito attain maximum
production in 1943, but without
sacrificing the accepted conserva-
ton methods"
Participation in the program is
open to farmers in North Carolina
South Carolina, Georgia. Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas.
Government payments may be
earned by working only the larger
trees and protecting the growth OF
pines by conservation methods.
The department said payments
were expected to total about ST.
900, 900 in 1943.

B, the Associated Press.
Persons who do not possess war
ration book No. must file apphca-
tions for the coupon book with local
ration boards by December Is, the
once Of Price Administration said
today.
Book No /, the familiar sugar
rationing coupon leaflet, will become
valid for coffee purchases at mid
night November %. Not only is
possession Of the book necessary for
the purchase of both coffee and
sugar, OPA noted, but it will have
to be presented to local boards
around the first Of the year in order
to receive war ration book No. 2. the
so-called universal" ration book.
The notice was aimed at those
who have never applied for book
No. /. those VINO were denied a book
because they had an excess sugar
supply, and those who had sur
rendered their books for one reason
or another.
To prevent fraud, OPA instructed
loShi uOdTuS 70 examine closely
persons who claim never to have
applied for the book, 50 that no one
shall obtain more than one copy
Of the ration book.
In connection with the gasoline
rationing program, OPA urged mo-
torists to indorse their coupons at
once rather than waiting to indorse
each coupon when making a gaso-
line purchase at a service station.
This will help protect the ration
books from misuse In the case of
loss or theft, OPA said.
The new "write-in" requirement.
which became effective in the East
November 81, requires passenger car
operators to write on the back of
each coupon the car license number
and State Of registration. It be-
comes effective for the rest of the
country when Nation wide mileage
rationing is started December /.

Yu|e Shoppers Facing
Holiday Rush Will
Have 10 Be Patient
Shortage Of Personnel
In Stores Will Cause
Many to Stond in Line

Patience will be a prime requisite
for Washington shoppers during the
Christmas rush which is Just around
the corner, since District depart
ment stores expect to be able to
obtain only about half of the addi-
tional employees they estimate they
will need.
Generally, they believe they will
need to enlarge their stats by about
Is per cent to handle adequately the
Christmas trade. Because help is
so diflcult to get. the concensus
seemed to be that they will be able
to hire only about IL per cent more
employees.
The store executives, however, are
going ahead with the idea of making
the best Of the situation. Some of
them are encouraging the customers
to wait on themselves where possible.
To aid in this method, clearing
counters" have been set us in some
instances where the customer may
select items and then pay for them
at the counters. In this connection,
shoppers will find some items al
ready neatly wrapped and labeled,
30 all they will have to do will be
to pick them up. take them to a
counter and pay for them.
Customers will be ENCOURAGED also
to take packages with them when
ever possible, so as to place as light
a delivery burden as possible on the
stores.
On the whole, one store executive
explained, the situation will mean
that many persons will have to get
in line to be waited on. Patience on
the part Of the customers, it was
said, will serve as one of the largest
aids In solving the problem.
