Pulpwood Cutting Essential,
McNutt Advises Committee

Washington - War Manpower
Commissioner Paul V. McNutt
today clarified the attitude of the
War Manpower Commission as to
the essentially of pulpwood pro-
duction in a statement to the
Newspaper Pulpwood Committee.
"Pulpwood is an essential war
MATERIAL, he said, used among
other things for making rayon
parachutes, shipping containers
and smokeless powder.
cts many wartime uses have
created a shortage which is rap
idly becoming acute. With these
conditions in mind, the War
Manpower Commission has re-
Gently classified pulpwood cut
ting and production of pulp as
essential war occupations.
MAY I urge every man en-
gagged in this essential work, eth
er part or full time, to give it
the best he has in him. Let him
remember he is welding his axe
and saw in the same struggle and
to the same end that other men
are welding bayonets and ma
chine guns.
81 know that the men who
work in the forests and pulp
mills and the farmers who cut
pulpWood from their Woodlots
are just as patriotic and loyal as
any other group of Americans.
Now that they realize the i'm
portance of their part in the war,
l am sure they will respond with
the extra hours, extra days and
extra effort that is the only pos
sible answer to this dangerous
short7ge.''
Pulpwood cutting is now on a
revised list of essential activities
and has been so specified in a
bulletin on forestry, logging and
numbering sent to the local Sc
lective service boards by the
VINO. The cutting of wood, in
Guiding pulpWood, also is includ-
ed among the essential farm pro-
ducts listed by the Selective Ser
vice as a guide to local boards in
the deferment of registrants en-
gagged in agriculture.
AS in all such cases, however,
the local selective service board
is responsible for determining
whether a specific registrant's oc-
cupation is in support o. the war
effort. The VINO essential &C.
cupation list is the boards guide.

McNutt is the fifth top-ranking
war agency chief to support the

lance of pulpwood in the war eff

Malaria Greatest Threat
To Men In Tropic Lands

DURHAM, Nov. 15-(R-Malaria
is the greatest threat to the
health of service men going to
the tropics, Dr. Herbert Charles
Clark, director of the Gorgas
Memorial laboratory at the Pana-
ma Canal Zone and foremost au-
thority on tropical diseases, de-
clared today in giving an Illus
trated clinic at Duke university
school of medicine.
Most service men consider
snake bites and the possibility OF
being eaten by crocadiles as the
prime dangers of the tropics, but
these are insignificant in COM
parison to disease-carrying in
sects.' DR.. Clark said. I'VE now
know that service men who go
to danger areas do not sufficient
ly realize the danger of malarial
conditionals. Service men are be-
ing taught to protect themselves
both by the use of proper drugs
and the avoidance of danger
zones
DR.. Clark said that deep in the
Jungle one is relatively safe from
malarial contagion, but it is al
the ports and native villages that
the seed beds of the disease deve
lop. There mosquitoes, ticks. ano
lice contact diseased persons ane
consequently themselves become
dangerous disease-carriers.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Nov Is
LIP AS delegates of countries
wrestled with the complicated prob

Relief and Rehabilitation Admins

with the suggestion that the f!nan-
cial formula be based on foreign
trade figures.
Eurico Penteado. Brazilian dele
gate. said his nation, largest ex-
porting country in South America
with the exception Of Argentina,
which is not member of UNRRA,
would like to base her contribu-
tons on her foreign trade with the
areas which would receive relief.
For his country. he said, the
problem of reviving Europe after
the war would be more than hui
manitarian one. He said 1t also
would be a commercial question.
since Brazil. living on foreign
trade. wished to regain her Euro
pean customers as soon as possible.
The nation, he said. would not want
to wait until Europeans had lost
the coffee-drinking habit.
Penteado said Brazil expected to
meet her financial contribution te

but also through supplies Of
cereals. sugar, cocoa and cotton

proportionate1y, since so many OF
the companies exporting from
Chile were owned by foreign cap
itals.
Pentedo's suggestion came after
finance committee meeting IN
which it appeared that the United
States and England would prefer
financial basis predicted on ma
tional income. He said it would be
simpler to ask a Brazilian con-
tribution from the general popu-
lation based on foreign trade, since
everyone understood they were
producing for a sale abroad. He
added that the problem OF de
termining his nations national IN
come would be too great.

thus: She lives on foreign trade
