OF JAW Officer From Army
Earlier Story on Page A-21

Earlier Story on Page A-2.)
Secretary of War Stimson today
confirmed reports that the Army
has released Roy Reuther, former
United Automobile Workers Union
official. so his services might be
utilized by the War Production
Board. He is still member of the
Reserves from which organization
he had been drafted into the Army.
Mr.. Stimson said the former
union official was released at the
request of Wendell Lund, labor pro-
duction director for WPB, the reason
being that his special talents would
make him more useful in the Gov
ernment civilian service than in the
Army.
While the releasing of MIR. Reuther
is somewhat unusual, 1t was said it
was done under authority of a policy
announced by Secretary Stimson
several months ago. The primary
purpose Of that policy, Mr.. Stimson
said, is to preserve the sanctity of
the uniform of the Army as indica-
tive OF men who are doing combat
duty, Others of special professional
or technical skills whose services
would be more useful elsewhere. he
explained, were being put into a
distinctive corps.

which the people were not to blame
The committee took occasion to
criticize the administration of the
existing rubber program, accusing
responsible officials" of failure to
request Russia's aid in setting up a
synthetic system. This was negli-
gence, it said, ''for which we have
not had satisfactory explanation. >
Reorganization Urged.
1t recommended complete reor-
ganization and consolidation of gov
ernmental agencies concerned with
the rubber program"
The President, the committeeman
said should direct these agencies
to act under the direction of War
Production Board Chairman Nelson.
who, in turn, should delegate full
and complete authority in all mat
ters to rubber to rubber admin
istrator
The present administrative or
ganization is not such, the COM
mittee said, to assure the effective
carrying through of the program.

overlapping and confusing author
ity and that conflict" between
the Rubber Reserve Co.. subsidiary
of the RFC. and the Office of Petro-

IN essential employment unless they
are released by their draft boards
Rear Admiral Randall Jacobs
chief of naval personnel, announced
a working arrangement with the
SelectiVe Service system whereby
no man whom the local board
continues in specified cIassifcations
Will be enlisted in the Navy until
release by his local draft board
for such enlistment"
The classif1cations are:
2A-Men necessary in civilian ac-
tlvlty essential to the Nation s
health, safety or interest.
2B-Men necessary to war pro-
duction.
3B-Men deferred by their local
boards for both dependency and es-

To Ask More Gas for

Woodrum Appoints

Work Out Solution

After criticizing Government

gressienal delegations from II East

of nine to help work out solution

About so Senators and Repre-

that people in one section of the
country can use all the gas they
want for frivolous pleasure while
people in another section lose their
means of livelihood through lack

Maryland workers in 1889 had a

report disclosed today. The median
Tor workers in Virginia was 1858.
The report contained statistics on

The median wage or salary, the
Census Bureau explained, lis the
amount which divides the group re-
ceiving such income into two equal
parts, one having income above the
median, and the other having in
come, below the median."
The Census figures do not include
items of non-Wage income, such as
income from farming. business,
rents, dividends and interest. For
this reason, the bureau cautioned
the statistics should not be inter-
preted as difference in total income
received in the various States. nor
as direct measure of variations in
wage scales.
Only one-sixth of the wage and
salary workers in the United States
received an income in 1889 of $50 or
more from other sources. Among
the other flve-sixths, the proportion
receiving wage or salary incomes be-
tween 81 and 1899 varied from ATT
per cent in Mississippi to 1913 in

New York and New Jersey had the
highest percentage. receiving $4,000
or more, respectively, 46 and "A per

In all but few States, the
median income of females entirely
dependent on wages or salaries was
from one-half to two thirds of the
corresponding median for males. In
IA States, the medians for women
was less than $500. whereas only two
States-Mississippi and Arkansas
reported medians for men of less
than this amount.
The median for women exceeded
$500 in only two States-Californi

the median for men topped $500.
