A||Fue|0 Oil
Coupons Ready
For Distribution
| Can Be Obtained
From Rotion Boards,
=. OPA Chief Says

L. P. Steuart, OPA director for
the District, reported today that all
processing in connection with fuel
oil coupons had been completed and
that the only unfinished step in
this phase of the rationing system
was distribution of the coupons to
the consumers.
The director said coupons are now
ready for every one and that they
can be obtained Immediately from
the rationing boards. He added
that there now should be no reason
why any one in need of fuel should
60 without coupons.
Many Not Called For.
Mr.. Steuart urged all fuel oil
users who have not yet received
notices by mail to go to their board
anyway, and assured them that they
would be taken care of. He said
most consumers already had OBJ
tanned their coupons, but that
considerable number still had not
been called for.
Meanwhile, the OPA announced
that the validity of fuel oil coupons
for. the first and second heating pc
RODS had been extended one week
each. Under this change. the No. l
coupon will expire December "a and
the No. 2 coupon January 25.
The extension was ordered, it was
explained, to aid industry in making
oil deliveries. With two-week
overlap instead of just one week
between heating periods, OPA Off
Gals pointed out, there should be no
cases in which consumers demand
delivery of whatever balance they
are entitled to receive before their
coupons expire, no matter how small
the amount.
Other Areas Get Extensions.
The longer overlapping period,
they said, should make it possible
for larger quantities to be delivered
on such visits.
OPA also has extended to Deem
Der 10 the period during which fuel
oil users in Fairfax County and
seven other Virginia areas may
purchase oil under the coupon
credit" system.
The original deadline was Deem
Der 9, but the extension was ordered
because an influx of war workers in
the particular areas had delayed is
suance of coupon books. The other
seven are Norfolk, Portsmouth and
Newport News and the counties of
Warwick, Elizabeth City, Princess
Anne and Norfolk.

Men Challenged Not to FUDGE
On Blood Donation Promises
Procurement Committee Chormon Observes
They Have Unfounded Fears of Ordeal

Men are bigger sissies than
wonderland usually they think up
very important reasons why they
can't keep the appointment they
made in an exuberant manner"
So speaks Miss Marjorie Gibbs
Russell, chairman of the Blood
Donor Procurement Committee of
the District Chapter, American Red
Cross. Men who want to accept her
challenge will be welcomed cor
daily at the donor center, Twenty
third and C streets NV.
The Army and Navy has asked
the center to step up its donations
from $50 to 500 a day. Plasma from
donations has saved lives in the war
zones, enabling wounded men to
regain their strength.
Having made five donations her
self. Miss Russell can speak with
authority on the subject.
"As a pioneer In the blood plasma
procurement program" she told
The Star, II have had a lot of
experience in recruiting volunteer
donors.
No Fearsome Ordeal.
Zone of the principal obstacles we
have tried to overcome is the fear
so many seem to have. Persons of
more than ordinary courage seem

to be in any way compared with a

wild rumors and stories get into

Workers Sought.
For Part.Tinne
Federal Jobs
WPB Is LOOKING
For Hundreds
Of Specialists

Pointing to a new influx Of
workers in the Government serv-
ice. the Civil Service Commission
today was ready to receive ap-
plications for part-time employ
ment in any category, an an
nouncement last night stating
that this unusual procedure was
made necessary by the difficulty
encountered in recruiting suffi-
cient numbers of full time quail
fled personnel.
This step, it was said, is not en-
tirely without precedent, as some
temporary workers were used in the
Veterans Administration in World
War I.
At the same time, the commission
said that many hundreds of pro-
duction and materials control spe-
cialists must be recruited" for the
new controlled materials plan of the
War Production Board, and that a
Nationwide drive would be inaugu-
rated to enlist these specialists
whose pay will range from $4,000 to
$500. The employees will be as
signed to the board and the War
and Navy Departments, and other
war units.
Dual Job Restrictions.
The part-time employment plan
is being started in Washington, but
will be extended to the field. Per-
sons gainfully employed on full
time employment either in Gov
eminent or private industry are not
| eligible for the part time work. The
| dual compensation law probably
would prevent any Government en-
ploye from taking on added duties,
as the holding of more than one Job
is prohibited when the combined
rate of pay exceeds $4,000 annually.
Agencies will be permitted to hire
part-tlme workers only when their
needs cannot be filled from regular
registers.
The commission said that there
Is particular need now for stenog-
raphers and typists, at lao an
nuany; tabulating machine opera
tors, sl260-sl ,440; messengers, ST.
200-$1 1920.
Part-time appointments will be
for year, but may be extended
Employees will not have leave priv
lleges, nor will they be eligible for
retirement benefits. They may,
however, qualify for full-time ap-
pointments.
Limit on Working Hours.
Their working hours will be
limited to three-quarters of a regu-
lar tour of duty and the working
schedule must be fixed before they
enter on the job.
Appointees will be paid under the
regular Classification Act scales,
with compensation regulated by the
number OF hours worked.
In outlining the scope of the drive
for production specialists, the COM
mission said that among the groups
urgently needed are persons with
industrial or engineering experience
in the fields of copper, aluminium,
carbon steel. alloy steel, machine
tools and machinery production;
electrical and communications
equipment; transportation equip
ment and engineering materials,
such as plastics, rubber and con-
struction materials.
These employees are to assist in
the allotment of critical materials
going into military and essential
civilian supplies and equipment.

Auto Collision
Insurance Rates
Are Reduced
Cut Is 20 Pct for
a Card Holders
And 10 Pct for B.

Owners Of private automobiles in
the District Of Columbia, Maryland
and 20 other States are now getting
the benefit of a 10 and 20 per cent
cut in collision insurance premiums
if they are operating with "A" or
"B' gasoline ration cards.
The cut, effective December l,
was announced last night in New
York by j. Ross Moore, manager of
the National Automobile Under
writer's Association, the Associated
Press reported.
The reduction is 20 per cent for
"a" card holders and 10 per cent for
B" card holders The cuts apply
to all new and renewal policies, he
said.
Mr.. Moore added that the same
reductions will be made in other
States when approval of supervising
authorities is obtained.
There has been a noticeable de-
crease in collision accidents in the
II Eastern States in which gasoline
rationing has been in effect since
last May, according to the Under
writer's Association. However, it was
said that the ratio of paid losses to
premiums written has been main
tanned by increased cost of each
collision accident.
Due to higher costs of material
and labor, it was added, two collision
accidents at present cause an in
surance loss of as much or more
than three such accidents year
ago.
In announcing the reductions, the
association said it was expressing the
wish of its member companies to
assist the national effort to keep
cars in use and help motorists,
whose mileage is reduced by gas
rationing and tire shortages, to
carry adequate insurance protection.
