Report of an Important Change Pending Refuted By State OPA

The state OPA today squelched growing rumors that after the first of the year all children's shoes would be removed from the ration ing lists.
 A spokesman for the agency as- serted the erroneous belief probably is based on the fact that in another month supply of non-leather shoes, designed for wear by children up to nine years old, will make their appearance on the market ration free.
 "These shoes are manufactured of canvas with soles made of re- claimed rubber" the spokesman as- serted. "All other childrens shoes, however, will continue to be avail able only on surrender of ration stamp"
