WPB Revises Order
Restricting Army Use
OF Civilian Supplies

The wording of War Production
Board directive, designed to prevent
military 'raiding" of civilian pro-
ducton. has been "softened" to make
1t more acceptable to the War De-
partment, it was learned today. Off
cials said the order, however, will be
Just as effective as the original one.
Two weeks ago it was disclosed
that the directive was ready for
signature. Addressed to manufac-
turers, 1t forbade them to deliver to
the armed services any goods being
produced under civilian steel quotas
unless the military order carried the
emergency triple-A priority rating.
The revamped directive elimi-
mates that outright prohibition, but
instead will require a manufacturer
to notify WPB whenever a priority
rated order from a Government
agency would cause him to dip into
MS allotment for civilian use, WPB
then will approve or disapprove the
release of the goods.
The directive was designed bv
A. D. Whiteside, director of WPB's
Office of Civilian Requirements, to
end a situation in which goods au-
thorized to sustain the civilian
economy were frequently diverted to
military or lease-lend use before
they ever got to wholesalers and re-
tailers.
Garbage cans, buckets, bedsprings,
tools and similar items needed in
military establishments as we'll as
in civilian homes and shops were the
type of goods most frequently taken
in this manner.
So near to issuance was the orig
inal directive that many copies of
the instructions to manufacturers
already had been printed by the
Government Printing Office, and the
signing of the order by j. A. Krug,
WPB'S vice chairman for programs.
was considered a mere formality.
Then hitch developed. Reliable
sources said opposition was voiced
by Maj. Gen. Lucius Clay, the
Armys representative on WPB's Re-
quirements Committee, which di-
vides up the Nations materials sup
ply and is headed by Mr.. Krug. AS
a result, the issuance was deferred
and the directive rewritten.

Iekes Resists Appeal
OF Nelson 10 Cut Logs
lin Park for Planes
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Whether Olympic National Park
should be logged for war purposes
has caused a controversy between
Donald M. Nelson, war production
chief, and Secretary of the Interior
Ickes.
Mr.. Nelson, it was disclosed yes
terday, has advised Mr.. Ickes that
without spruce from the parklands
the production of certain types of
aircraft must be curtailed. But Mr..
Ickes contends that Canada should
supply a greater portion of this wood
and greater efforts should be made
to obtain it from private forests,
before any decision on whether
loggers shall enter the Olympic
Park.
In a letter to Mr.. Ickes, Mr.. Nelson
asked for:
THE transfer by the Secretary of
the Interior of certain lands bearing
timber needed for the war from the
Olympic National Park to the Re-
construction Finance Corp. =" >, the
lands to be operated by subsidiary
of the RFC which would be author
lied to deal with defined crit
ical and strategic materials"
Subsequently, Mr.. Ickes told q
member of Congress that if and
when the WPB could show that
the logging of spruce within Olym-
pic Park was essential to the war
program, he would agree.
The legislator, asking not to be
quoted by name, said Mr.. Ickes
made it plain, however, that such
action could not be predicated on
what he termed mere desire of
the mills of the Olympic penin-
sula to obtain logs from the park
because it would be handy source
of supply
The Secretary, with jurisdiction,
over the parks, also said he was in
formed that no aircraft factories
manufacturing wooden planes for
the United States and Great Britain
particularly the Mosquito bomber
had been shut down because of a
lack of suitable material.

PUNISHdE11T. Ever since Pearl Harbor
the Hawaiian Islands have been under
complete blackout. Colonel Franklin, the
Provost-Marshal Judge of Honolulu, has
created an ingenious punishment for all
blackout violators. When they're brought
before him and plead guilty, he quietly
pronounces his sentence:
That will be $25 and pint of blood"
If the culprit is physically unable to give
a TRANSMISSION, the Judge increases the fine
$25. The extra money buys pint of blood
for the Red Cross.
The Judges sentence has had good re-
suits: Honolulu citizens are now strict
observers of the blackout laws; violators'
blood has saved many lives in the Pacific.
