On Frozen Fruits

WASHINGTON, July 9 CUP) =
The office of price administration
today took the first step toward
breaking general price ceilings over
frozen fruits and vegetables by set
ting a higher price formula for
packers.
Administrator Leon Henderson,
warning that the ceilings will even
tually be lifted "at all levels of dis
tribution," said the action was nee
essary to meet increased costs of
gathering and packing fruit and
vegetable crops, which otherwise
might rot in the fields.
He said that the general public
will have to bear the increased
costs, but promised that they would
be held to a minimum
1t was the second time within a
week that OPA has lifted a section
of its general price ceilings. Pack
ers of canned and dried fruits al
ready can add to their prices ad-
ditional costs Of processing the 1912
crop.

Rules
Tighten

WASHINGTON, July 8 UP) -
East coast motorists, beginning
registration today for permanent
gasoline rations, found that the
office of price administration had
tightened up on issuing amounts OF
fuel greater than that deemed nee
essary for mon essential drivers.
No unlimited gasoline cards are
to be issued, and the list of those
who can get supplementary rations
was strictly defined in official OPA
regulations.
Included in the categories of mo-
torists eligible for special rations"
were congressman, other govern
ment officials and state legislators
who need them in pursuit of Of
iicial duties. Supplementary rationS
will be issued "for use by a bona
fide candidate for public office for
purposes essential to the prosecu-
ton of his candidacy" and for
carrying persons to and from the
polls on election days.
TRUCKS INCLUDED
Trucks an dbuses came under the
rationing plan for the first time,
and will need cards to buy fuel
when the program goes into ef-
feet July %.
While supplementary ratiOnS will
be harder to get than they now are
under the temporary plan, the Of
flee of petroleum co-Ordinator has
acted to assure adequate gasoline
| supplies to service stations serving
war workers.
Dealers must agree to sell the
additional gasoline only to war
workers who can identify them
selves by a plant badge or pass.
Motorists will register today, to-
morrow and Saturday for basic
"A" books which will give them
about 16 gallons a month, and at
the same time they will receive ap-
plication forms for supplemental
allotments.
The regulations listed the follow
ing persons and car uses for which
supplementary rations may be is
sued:
/. For use by duly elected or
appointed agent, officer, represen-
tative or employee of federal,
state, local or foreign government
agency, for performing the official
business of the agency.

mail
3. For public school teachers,
4. For the wholesale delivery of
newspapers, magazines and other

Censorship Cuts
Bulk of S. E. G..
Statements
BY the Associated Press.

Dy tue hS8OCiAtCu FEcoSs
NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Those fat
and pcnderous registration state
ments which intending issuers Of
new securities must submit to the
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion will be thinned bit in many
cases as a result of military censor
ship, Wall Street investment quar-
tiers learned today.
Under the Securities Act, corpora
tons seeking S. E. C. authority to
bring out new stocks or bonds were
required to supply the most minute
information on operations, plans for
new plant expansion, the sort Of
goods produced and various other
details.
Military censorship hardly would
permit the free dissemination Of
essential facts of a corporation with
defense business, particularly as to
its production plans. This Is strictly
taboo, according to the washington
censors, a condition now recognized
by the s. E. C.
Since adoption of the Securities
Act there has been some testing in
Wall Street circles, and also q bit
of complaint from security under
writers and issuing companies, over
the S. E. C. registration procedure.
The testing has been inspired by
the sheer bulk and volume of the
statements. The security under
writer's did some grumbling in the
early years of the s. E. c. because
of the labor and expense involved
in preparing the registration ma
terial which becomes public prop
erty for interested investors.

Gerard Believes Allies
Sure 10 Win, but War
Will Be Long, Hard
Former Envoy to Berlin
Recalls Severance Of
Ties Is Years AGO
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Looking at
the future in the light of . past in
which he intimately witnessed the
Vaccinations Of European politics
and militarism, former Ambassador
James w. Gerard said yesterday he
had not the "faintest. slightest rem
nant of a doubt" that the United
States and her allies would win the
present war.
From a hospital bed where he is
recovering from an abdominal OPP
Grafton, he looked back IS years ago
yesterday when this country severed
relations with Germany, to which
country he was Ambassador. and he
talked about the present and future.
This Is going to be long war
and q hard war" he said. THE at
tack on Pearl Harbor was q terrible
setback, but weu win in the end.
1.-THE President has taken hold Of
things on a great scale. He realized
the magnitude Of the task before
any one else. He has things well In
hand, and he's getting production,
but we all must remember that 1t
will take time"
Germans Are Still Tough.
The 75-year -old, gray-haired law
yer and author said that those
who looked for immediate revolution
in Germany ARE dead wrong"
The Germans still have a lot
of fight in them" he said, and 1t
will take a major military catas-
trophe to stir the people to revo-
luton"
He remarked that he was "the
last surviving diplomat who was in
Europe proper the day we severed
relations with Germany"
He and Mrs. Gerard were giving
a luncheon at the Embassy in Ber-
lin that day. No word had been
received from Washington concern
ing a break, but midway through
the luncheon an Embassy attache
came in with a Berlin newspaper
which headlined the severance
and an American woman guest
married to a German tainted.
Refused to Sign Treaty.
The next day. he said, he received
ofhcial notice Of the break and at
once went through the formalities
OF notifying German authorities and
demanding his passport.
On the second day after sever
ance, he said, he returned from a
walk to find a German official at
the Embassy-then not open to Ger
mans.
He ordered the official to leave.
The official, instead of doing so,
handed him what was intended to
be a treaty by which the United
States would guarantee, in the event
war should follow, safe passage of
all German vessels in Allied ports.
Gerard said he would not sign
such a treaty, whereupon he was
told, IF you don't sign you might
not get your passport to get out"
To which Gerard replied, Then
III stay here until hell freezes over"
A few days later he was on his way
home.

Auto Graveyards
Combed 10 Relieve
Steel Scrap Shortage
Largest Domestic She'll
Program Is Shaping Up
To Completion
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Iron Age
said today steel companies have sent
labor gangs into automobile grave
yards this week to relieve the des-
perate need for scrap metal.
AT least five steel companies In
the Midwest and one in the East, :"
said the steel magazine, have en-
tered the auto wrecking business.
The wage costs in this plan Of
scrap salvage, including hauling
costs and yard conversion with no
profit to the agent acting for the
steel company, in some cases brings
a net price Of 81 or more above the
fixed minimum price ceiling"
Yield Per Heat Drops.
Juggling Of scrap supplies through
ALLEGATION, the survey continued, "is
tending to prevent a sharp drop in
any single district. Some furnace
operators report, however, that
while they are maintaining all units
in production. their yield per heat
has dropped to as low as 60 per cent
of normal"
Iron Age estimated that steel OPP
erations this week dropped to 96.5
per cent Of capacity from 81 per
cent last week, a normal fluctua-
ton.
Early this week." the magazine
continued, lone Of the largest do
nestle shell programs 50 far was
shaping up to completion. Already
ALLEGATIONS for hot rolled shell steel
have been made or are on the point
of being made to several steel COM
panies.
TT is said that approximately
1,000, 900 tons are scheduled for al
most immediate ALLEGATION in a pro-
gram which will require 1000, 900
tons Of steel.
Bottleneck at Furnaces.
with the steadily increasing de-
mand for high carbon strip steel
to 60 into machine gun clips and
rifle bullet CHIPS, existing capacity Is
expected soon to be taxed. A bottle
neck is the insufnciency of heat
treating furnaces"
Iron Age said steel customers
with orders carrying a priority rat
ing below AS have little luck get
ting supplies.
Not only the makers of products
for ordinary civilian use, but the
manufacturers Of metal goods for
essential civilian needs are likely to
face . continuance of the blows
which accompany war shortages"

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The Taylor
Wharton Iron & Steel Co. reported
yesterday its net profit for 1s4l was
$4S7 ,OO7, equal to $5sl capital
share, compared with s233,319, or
$2.7S a share, in the preceding year.
The profit for the 1941 period was
after provision Of $212,500 for Fed
eral and State income taxes and
100000 for contingencies. against
a tax provision Of $4,000 in 1910.
George r. Hanks, company presi-
dent, said that the Taylor Wharton

it had produced materials or NUM-
tions for every war in which the
country has been engaged, including
pre-revolutionary Colonial conflicts
with the Indians.

Change in Procedure
OF Lease-Lend Barred !;
Funds Total 3 Billion
Army, Navy to Buy Arms,
Ships; U. S.-British Boord
Will Allocate Them
BY the Associated Press.


Oficial sources said today that
lease-lend appropriations now total
$23, 400, 000, 900 and probably would
be increased by several more billion
dollars in the next few weeks.
At the same time, they revealed
fundamental changes in lease-lend
procedure designed to simplify and
speed up the pooling of the re-
sources Of the United Nations In
line with President Roosevelt's re-
cent announcement concerning joint
raw materials, munitions and ship
ping arrangements.
Direct appropriations to lease-lend
total $4,000 .000, 900, and officials
pointed out that provisions were in
serted In recent military, naval and
maritime appropriations earmark-
ing additional large amounts for
lease-lend.
New Request Expected.
The direct lease-lend appropria-
tons will be used, in the future.
only for food, raw materials and
other non-military items.
Hereafter, for instance, lease-lend
airplanes will be supplied out of the
Army and Navy appropriations. The
recent Army Air Corps appropria-
ton specifically provided that 81
600 ,000, 900 worth of the material
could be used for lease-lend pur-
poses. Similarly, the Navy appro-
priation which has been approved by
both houses of Congress contains q
s., 000, 900, 900 lease-lend item. The
recent Maritime Commission appro-
priation authorized the leasing Of
81 800 ,o0o. 900 Of new merchant yes
sells to our allies. Other ALLEGATIONS
were incorporated in other appropri-
ations.
The last direct lease-lend appro-
priation, for 5000, 600, 900. was ap-
proved nearly year ago, and will be
nearly all anocated by the end Of
this month. A supplemental request
is expected from the White House in
a few weeks.
Board to Allocate Supplies.
The new method was devised to
obviate the necessity of negotiating
separate contracts for American and
lease-lend needs.
Formerly, if the British wanted
1000 airplanes, they filed a request
with lease-lend, which referred the
request to the Army or Navy for the
actual contracting. The lease-lend
agency never did any buying it
self; .only kept the books.
Under the new system, the Army
will buy all the airplanes it can,
and the new United States-Ss-itish
Munitions Assignment Board win
figure out what country can use
the planes to the best advantage.
Lease-lend will still keep the books
however.
