Bond Lottery
Is Proposed
Would AmpIify
Regular Soles

WASHINGTON, Dec. Up
- A new congressional drive
for a Federal lottery, with war
bonds as the prizes, got under
way today.
Backing it was Representative
Ramsay D-WVa). who introduc-
ed legislation authorizing the
treasury department to operate
a lottery plan developed by Ern-
est w. Fogel of Beaver, Pa.
Unlike some other systems,
Fogel's plan would guarantee
some return to every ticket hold
err. Each ticket sold for $1.25
would entitle the buyer to that
much credit with local partici-
pating merchants on cash pur-
chases of $25 or more.
Ramsay said conservative esti-
mates of monthly sales were
about 20, zoo, 900 tickets, or a dol
lar volume of $25, 100000. Most
OF this would be profit for Uncle
Sam, under whose supervision
the lotteries would be operated.
Monthly cash awards would
range from a high of $46,875 to
the first winner, $37,50O for sec
ond and 1000 awards of $18.75
each. All cash prizes would be
paid in war bonds.
The maximum operating cost
was estimated by Ramsay at
about 10 per cent of the total
sales. Deducting this and the
amount of prizes from the total,
the government, he pointed out,
would reap a profit of about
$22, 100000 monthly.
Numerous lottery proposals
have been introduced in the past
but congress to date has frowned
upon them as an unethical way
of raising money. One of the
most persistent lottery boosters,
Representative Knut on (R-
Mimi, a member of the Ways
and Means committee, said he
would renew at the next session
his drive for lottery legislation
which he estimated would yield
the government around 81 ,00O,-
600 600 annually.
Knutson's proposal is for an
outright lottery managed by the
government, with prizes SINH
la: in value to those given in
the Irish Sweepstakes drawings.

BY THOMAS A. REEDY


WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-B
- A threatened food shortage
coupled with manpower prob
lens on the farm brought from
leaders of organized agriculture
today a demand that the govern
ment's triple-A program be
abolished at least for the dura-
ton of the war.
Officials of the National As
ISOLATION of State commissioners,
secretaries and directors of agri-
culture, meeting her in q two
day convention, said they were
drafting a resolution to that eff
feet.
These leaders, who asked to
remain anonymous, asserted that
abolition of government control
over food-growing at this time
would be helpful in meeting the
problems of the nations 100000
900 farm population.
Officials of the Association ar
ranged with Senator Thomas Cd
Okla) to put their opinions be-
fore Donald Nelson, director of
the War Production Board, lat
er today.
Indicative of the Association
attitude was the statement of
President r. A. Trovaten, of
Minnesota, that 1--WE are against
controlled production and never
have been for it,"
Farmers were assured by
chairman Paul v. McNutt of the
war manpower commission last
night that the government will
take whatever steps are neces-
sary" to provide enough labor
for next years record crop
| goals.
Plans are under way, McNutt
said, to create "full-time contin-
uous employment of mobile
groups of experienced farm
workers, transported at govern
ment expense from one area to
another as the crops mature"
The program also calls for
bringing farm wages more near
ly into line with those in indus
try, he said, and the transfer
ring of experienced farm opera
tors from substandard lands to
more productive areas.

ment has been at fault in hand

figures on the coupons. An Al
or an ST. is good for one point,
a BIS or a It's five points and
so on. Two C-2's can be used
for a APPOINT purchase.
From this point on, you budget
your points just like your mon
ey, except that it will be your
points rather than your money
that will be rationed. You might
have ration of 48 meat points
for February. If you spend all
your coupons on porterhouse,
we'll, you spend them all on por-
terhouse and that's that. If your
taste runs to hamburger you get
more of it for your coupons.
The government has printed
l60, 10000 of these new IRA
ton money" books, so that eve
rvone can have one. While meat
is expected to be the first COM
modify rationed with it, other
things may be allotted with the
same book. For instance, all
the red coupons could be used
for meat, leaving all the blue
coupons for perhaps clothing,
although OPA does not contem-
plate clothing rationir g at pres
ent.
Generally the point values will
be figures on available supplies
rather than on intrinsic values.
In some cases OPA might juggle
the points from month to month,
to influence the public to choose
more plentiful things by making
those items "cheap" in points.
In the case of meat, for in
stance, steaks might be made
very expensive" in points to
get people to eat more plentiful
roasts - if that were the case -
or pork might be made more
expensive than beef, or vice YER
Sa.
P.S. You'll still have to pay
real money, of course, as well as
coupons.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 - R)
- You'll have to learn how to
juggle a new kind of money
soon to put meat on the table.
Disclosing a few more details
of the meat rationing program
scheduled for early next year,
the Office of Price Administra-
iton explained some phases of the
point rationing system which has
been developed particularly for
handling such commodities.
Shortly after New Years, eve
ryone will get war ration book
No. 2. No. l was the sugar
book which also is being used
for coffee. Book No. 2 will
contain 1872 coupons of differ
ent colors, denominations, and
lettering.
These coupons are the coin
of the new money system which
Americans will have to master.
Instead of pennies, nickels,
dimes, quarters and halves,
you'll have a red Al coupon, a
red Az coupon, a red AS coupon,
a red A-8 coupon, a red B. cou-
pom, and so on, through the
whole alphabet Except I and
o., and then all over again for
the blue coupons in the same
book.
When meat rationing starts,
OPA will assign certain letters
for use the first month or pc
Rod of weeks-perhaps red A,
E and c for February-and then
will put out price list, in points,
on various kinds of meat-may-
