their nearest Federal Reserve Bank.
Practically every type of property must
be reported--real estate holdings, cash
assets, foreign currency, foreign securi-
ties, interests in foreign organizations,
patent and trade mark agreements and
contracts. Order can be restored more
rapidly, as territories are reoccupied, II
military authorities have such informa-
tion at hand, states the Treasury De-
partment. All information will be con-
fidential and will be available only to
accredited representatives Of the Treas
ury.
Simplify Gas Rationing
All "B" and &C" gasoline coupons is
sued after December will be worth five
gallons each, compared with the present
value of two gallons for coupons OF
those types in the east and midwest and
three gallons in the far west. This
means "B" and &C" books will contain
fewer coupons that in the past, but each
coupon will be good for more gallons
than before. No increase in the amount
of gasoline allowed is involved.
Farmers To Get Batteries
Approximately 20 per cent Of the
fourth quarter production of flashlight
batteries will be distributed to farmers,
according to WPB. This makes enough
batteries for about normal rural con-
suumption available through farm out
let's.
Fertilizer Outlook
American farmers will have more
nitrogen and slightly less potash in the
l943-44 afertilizer year." than they had
in the previous year, according to testi-
mony of WPB officials before senate
subcommittee on agriculture and for
estry. Farmers should have four tons
Of nitrogen for every three they had last
year, according to present indications.
WPB is endeavoring to make additionai
quantities of potash available for agri-
culture in 1944-45.
More Hosiery For Children
Production of infants and childrens
hosiery will be stepped up shortly as
result of priority assistance given to
manufacturers for procurement Of neces-
sary yarn. The WPB action resulted
from falling supply of infants and
children's stockings.
Shop And Mail Early
The public is urged to complete its
Christmas shopping this month and to
send all packages destined to other
cities, whether by parcel post or err
press, before December 10. Early Christ
mas shopping and shipping are neces-
sary this year to enable satisfactory
handling of the extra Christmas load
Joseph B. Eastman, Director of the Of
flee Of Defense Transportation, said
"Remember," Mr.. Eastman added, "that
the best gift for this wartime Christmas
are War Bonds or Stamps"
Step Up Truck Production
four-fold increase in its 1914 civil
ian truck production program has been
SO important is this program that it has
been given priority ratings equal to air
craft and high octane gas. Provisions
are also made for production of re-
placement parts for civilian use. In
spite of the four-fold increase, the new
goal of 123,492 trucks is still far short
of the pre-war production of approx
imately 100000.
