Point Rationing In
 U. s. Coming In 1943
Basic Facts of Plan Outlined By State OPA Execu-
 lives; Various Commodities Covered

the coupon ration which is now in effect for sugar and coffee,
 1, The first important difference is thiS-un6er straight coupon ra- tioning, one single coupon entities the consumer to buy specific amount of a single commodity such as, one sugar coupon entities you to buy three pounds of sugar,
 But in point ration,ng one set of coupons covers whole group of commodities For instance, your weeks meat ration coupons would enable you to choose yoCr ration freely between beef, pork, lamb or mutton,
 5, The second important differ enee is this-the coupons in point rationing are of different deInoni- nations Those to be spent in one week, for example. w:n include a one-point coupon. a two-point cou- pon, a five-point coupon and an eight-point coupon,
 6, The third important difference is thiS-the various rationed items within one group will have different point values, For example. tender loin steak, being relatively scarcer. might have a high point value and require a larger number of cou- ponS, while hamburger, being avail able ia greater quantities, would have a lower point value, Thus, in exchange for a ration coupon worth eight points, the housewife might be able to obtain one pound of tenderlo:n steak or four pounds of hamburger, Point values have not been set yet-valueS used here are for illustration onlyl
 2, The Government will set the point value Of each item within the group of rationed products and is sue an ofilcial list, Point values will be based on available supplies and wil vary as supplies of par ticuar items increase or decrease,
 s, War ration book two will have four pages of blue stamps and four pages of red stamps, The blue stamps will be used for the first group of goods to be rauoned by points. The red stamps will be used for the second group of point rationed goods,
 g. The number on each stamp tells how many points the stamps are worth. The letter on each stamp tells what period it is goo6 in. The government will announce these periods in advance.

CAUSE OF BOSTON
 FIRE IS SOUGHT
Arson Squads Investigate; Faulty Wiring, Cigarette
 May Be Cause

Boston. Dec, l7 -(UPl- Arson sous6s from the Fire and Police Departments sought today to deter mine if faulty wiring or Q discarded cigarette caused Boston's third con- flaSration within 30 days-a myS- terious Sl,0ooo00 fire in which s2 coast guardsmen and tiremen were injured.
 Huge Christmas stocks were ruined by the mysterious general-alarm blsze which burned for lS hours in the six-storI Armory Building on Washington street. Smoke and Wa ter caused extensive damage to the adjoining l0-story Blake Building,
 Deputy Fire Chief William F, Quigley said he did not know what caused the fire but believed ii started in the cellar of the Armory Building near an elevator shaft,
 But whatever the cause, Qu:gley was certain that a complete lack oi automatic Sprinklers, coupled with the type of construction, accounted for the swittness with which the flames spread through 30 business establishments in the two shopping district buildings.
 Lack of sprinklers was a factor common to all three fires, neither the Cocoanut Grove, where ASS per sons perished Nov. 28. nor Armory Hall in East Boston, where six fire men died Nov. l5, having been equipped with these safety devices,
 Twice, after apparently being controlled, the fire flared anew and Quigley said this was due to the fact that the construction of the building involved many false fronts and panels covering old walls.

 That aftrenoon, Bottcher inspect ing his left flank, came upon three Japanese.
 "They just looked at me and did. mt move" Bottcher said. T killed two of them but the third got away,

Moenetized Wire May Change
Radio Transcription Methods

Vagtoorg said the wire would retain
this recorded sound potential for
years or could be wiped clean in
stantly by the demagnetizing pro-
cess.
The recorder, he said, can be set
to start and stop automatically and
needs no attention while running.
He said these advantages give 1t
limitless practical applications, such
as.
In airplanes microphones placed
in the control cabins could pick up
all conversations and commands.
Housed in an asbestos case, the
recorder would survive a crash and
tell the story of what preceded 1t.
1t could record millions Of words
of enemy propaganda at government
monitoring radio stations and re-
duce greatly the amount of critical
materials used in making standard
type recorders The storage prob
lem, too, would be minimized.
In the home radio, the device
could record daytime program

LONDON, June 20.-Britain
and the United States will
launch a great, successful attack
on Hitler in the west when the
proper time comes, Sir Stafford
Cripps, parliamentary deputy for
Prime Minister Churchill, de-
clared today.
We can not say" when the at
tack will come, Sir Stafford told a
meeting observing the anniversary
of the June % German attack on
Russia and the British-Soviet al
lance.
Il am not going to help Hitler by
telling you or him. the time of the
attack. Sir Stafford said, adding that
Russian Foreign CommisSar Vyache-
slav Molotov. who recently was in
London, knows much more about
it than l can tell you"
Must Not Fail.
The attack must not fail, he said
Sir Stafford, who was Britain s
Ambassador to Russia at the time OF
the German invasion, praised the
recent British Russian pact as the
laying of great foundation stone
for the structure of the post war
world"
Among greetings sent to the meet
ing was this from Gen. Douglas
Macarthur in Australia:
To-day the free peoples of a free
world unite in salute to a great army
and great man who so nobly strive
with us for victory of liberty and
freedom"
Russian Marshal Semeon Timo-
shenko sent this message:
Il greet most warmly our English
Allies = The Red Army will con-
tinue to fight the Germans until
complete victory"
The British press and public gen.
orally were observing the week end
as the anniversary of the day on
which Hitler lost the war" Ger
many invaded Russia last June %.
Should March to Berlin.
The question of a second front is
on every Briton's tongue.
With the help of the United
States and its industrial forces add
ed to our own and the Soviet Un-
ions productive resources. we should
be able to launch a great and sue
cessful attack upon Hitler in the
West" Sir Stafford said. He warned
however. that only a successful at
tack would help the Allies and that
failure would damage and would
not assist our common cause"
when we strike, let us strike hard
and with determination to march
through to Berlin before we cal
a final halt" he said.
1T may be sooner or later
though Hitler has apparently
guessed that it may not be too far
ahead. AS we make our prepara-
tions, so no doubt he will try to
make his, too, and this. in itself
may influence the time factor"
