The War Production Board yester-
day prohibited effective September
%, manufacture or sale Of blackout
and dimout lighting fixtures not con-
forming to specifications of the War

signals, flashlights, lanterns and

specific target" areas was required
by the War and Navy Departments.
In another order, WPB required

mers. The simplification require
ments, WPB said, were intended to
concentrate production on fewer
lines and thus release materials and
productive facilities for the war

at the Roadside Theater in such
plays as The Drunkard" to his pres
ent real-life role of chaplain in the
United States Army.
1t. Haskin. the son of Frederic J.
Haskin, whose questions and answers

Wilson one of the ablest production
executives in the country" Mr..
Roosevelt said, "and he has done
an outstanding job in the produc-
ton Of war material"
Mr.. Nelson, 1t was said, had been
anxious for some time to find a
top job in the WPB for Mr.. Wilson.
In announcing the appointment, he
said:
"Mr Wilson will be the top pro-
duction authority In the war pro-
gram and will have the responsi-
bility of seeing to it that program
