 SUPREME POWERS

Washington, Jan. S-(UP)-Su- preme power to allocate the slender supplies of rubber to meet military as well as civilian requirements has been vested in Rubber Director William M. Jeffers by War Produc- tion Board Chairman Donald M. Nelson, it was learned today.
 This power previously rested in Ernrest KanzIer, Director General of Operations, who operates under WIPE Vice Chairman Ferdinand Eberstadt, top materials executive.
 Official explanation for the move was that 1t would carry forward recommendations in the Baruch report that all phases of the rubber problem be centralized under one executive.
 Nelson acted in the face of signs that rubber reserves will fall below the 120,000-ton safety point this fall before production of synthetic rub- Der is stepped up to bridge the gap

Ironing Equipment Important War Item
Housewives Asked to Conserve Equipment, Economic Y on Electricity; OPA Experts Offer Advice

you leave your ironing, even for a few minutes to answer doorbell or telephone. Get the disconnecting habit. It saves your iron and cur rent.
 4. Keep ironing surface clean, smooth, and free from rust. Remove starch spots with a cloth wrung from soapsuds. If the spots persist, SCOUT with very fine steel wool or a fild securing powder. If the iron sticks rub it on little salt sprinkled on paper, or smooth it with paraf- fin or beeswax, wiping off the ex- cess.
 5. Use an electric ironer on a special appliance circuit or oil by itself on the ordinary house circuit Plug hand irons into wall outlet rather than light socket or drop cord which isn't built to carry the current required by an iron.
 Even the cord of an iron or any other electrical appliance - is part of our nations lifeline. Always attach the plug to the iron first, then to the wall outlet. Keep the cord from dragging across the board as you iron. Take hold of the plug, not the cord, when you disconnect it from the outlet. Coil the cord loosely or hang it where it will not bend shorply, as this may injure the wire. If the iron has perma- nently attached cord, cool the iron before you coil the cord around the handle. Otherwise the hot iron may injure both cord covering and insulation.
 Steam irons - those that steam and dampen as they Work-require the same care as other electric irons. Follow the manufacturers directions for your particular iron. Use soft or boiled water. Put it into the iron hot to save time and current. When through ironing, empty all water and store with filler cap off to dry out the water com- partment.
 Special instructions also are given in the folder for electric ironers.
 Here are some tips for easier ironing:
 Don't iron seersucker, knitted cotton or rayon, or terry cloth. This saves work and cuts down on use of electricity.
 Have fewer wrinkles to iron out by wringing evenly and hanging straight on the line.
 Divide articles needing hot iron from those requiring somewhat cooler iron. Iron things that take the least heat first. Sprinkle judi ciously; it takes extra heat and more energy to iron out unnecessary moisture.
 Have the ironing board we'll padded, at the right height, in a comfortable light. Sit to iron. Have a clothesrack handy for ironed pieces.
 Slow, unhurried, well-directed motions give best results with hand ironing.

 Camp Davis, N. C., Jan. 8-High on the list of unsung heroes in this war are the Army Air Force pilots stationed here as glorif1ed clay pigeons for the Anti-Aircraft Artil- lery.
 Through skies which even the mosquitoes abandoned long ago as too dangerous, the pilots by day fly above nests of splitting guns. By night they fly back and forth on instrument courses, blinded by the beams from batteries of 800 million candlepower searchlights.
 The pilots are attached to the tow target squadrons at this AAA training center. Wherever they go they see the AAA motto, Keep 'em railing" emblazoned on poster of a plungir1g plane.
 STUDENTS SCARE FEM
 For the vicious 90 nm. cannon the pilots flying at 10000 feet tow a wind sock 28 feet long and feet in diameter 5000 feet behind their plane.
 "When Q real gun crew is firing, they hit the sock" one of the pilots explained, "but when those students

100000 PUPILS. BUILDING MODEL
 PLANES FOR U. s.

Washington, Jan. 1(UP)-The Oflce of Education reports that more than 100000 students in junior and senior high schools are now building model aircraft for the use of the armed services.
 These planes, which must be ac- curate in scale and design, are used in training Army and Navy person. mel to recognize instantly all types of aircraft, both Allied and enemy.
 J. c. Wright, director of the model aircraft project, emphasized the ne- cessity of absolute accuracy in the models by saying that instant rec ognition of Q plane means the differ- ence between life and death for one of our pilots and his crew."
 Plans and instructions for 300,O00 additional planes are now being mailed to local directors of the model aircraft project and 1t is ex- pected that by the time these arrive the original quota of 5O0,00O planes will be completed. The model building program was initiated last February.
 It is hoped that in time this pro- gram will yield sufficient models to supply every ship and military post.
 Naval certificates of award are being presented to students who build planes. The first plane ap- proved by the local inspection co1n- mittee gives the student the rank of cadet aircraftSman. His rank. irl- creases with additional planes made until he reaches admiral aircrafts- man which signifies the completion of 50 planes.
 Four boys already have reached the rank of admiral aircraftsman: Joe Bashore, Wyandotte, Mich; Bob Pearson, Denton, Tex; Eugene Cavadini, Burbank, Cal, and Charles Lum, Honolulu, Hawaii.

 Sometimes the tow planes come down with pieces of shrapnel or machine gun bullets in them, but not often. 'They haven't downed a plane here yet" the pilots boast.
 To test the markSmanship of the crews of the automatic weapons bat teries, the pilots sweep down to 1900 feet, towing long flags behind them. STRATOSPHERE NOT SAFE
 And as these realistic tests go on, officers of the Anti-Aircraft Artil- lery Board are at work in low white building here on plans to make even the stratosphere unten- able for war planes.

FRESHMEN ENTER YALE NEXT MONTH
Number of Qualified Ap- plicants for HistOry=Mak-
 ing Event Unknown

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 8 - A group of freshmen will be admitted to Yale in February, 1943-the first time in university history that sec ondary school graduates will have entered so early in the year-it was announced recently by Edward s. { Moves, chairman of the board of admissions.
 The number that will enter is not yet fixed and will depend on the number of qualified applicants.
 The Board of Admissions has taken this measure chiefly to bene- 1t those young men who have com gpleted four years of secondary school and are now taking a fifth year. According to MT. Moves, All applicants will take the Aptitude and Achievement tests of the Col 1ege Entrance Examination Board un January g, 1943. if these have not been taken previously. "The Freshmen to be admitted in iFebruary will belong to one of the following categories: (a) those who complete their secondary school course and graduate in January: (b) those who have already com- pleted four years of secondary school and are in the middle of a fifth var; (c) those who may be recommended by their principals or ieadmasters as ready for college now. These students will have com- pleted the minimum subject re- Ss,siv,aVnenta for admission to Yale with the possible exception of, Senior English"
 The University does not wish to encourage application for February admission from those who would graduate from secondary schools in June, preferring that those students take the entrance xsmlnations April 10. l04S for mat sisulatlon in July.

 Here, in brief, is the way to keep your iron in order and how to use at without waste:
 1. Be sure the current is the right type for your electric iron or from ing machine. Plugging an iron with heat control into direct current may ruin 1t. One without thermostat can be used on either alternating or direct current.

The movies have bought SO many hits and near-hits from Broadway not to mention a few Hops with good titles, that trend is develop ing along two-front lines. Play wrights, like novelists, are writing for Hollywood's eye-so that bad plays sometimes make good movies and movie producers are invest ing in stage enterprises. Hollywood wealth some day may overwhelm Broadway. Something like base balls farm system may evolve, with the legitimate theater serving Hol- lywood as Newark in the Interna- tional league serves the Yankees. PEvIVAL of an old-time hang. 'AS over cure is having a vogue possibly out of sheer desperation. It's no good, but if you want to try 1t, 1t goes like this: To a tall glass of tomato juice add a jigger of vodka, the juice of half a lemon, a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, and cracked ice. And, if it be not too reluncant, shake.
 THE lady to call on for a couple \ of live ostriches or an 1890 den- lists chair is Jean Rosenthal, whose Theater Production Service supplies the shows with everytihne from Yorick's skulls to sctage direc- tors. Her business has expanded from New York to the countless It- tie theaterS of the nation, what Broadway patronizingly calls 'sthe tributary theater." Her speciality is emergencies, lige the time she stepped in to do the lighting for Leslie> Towards Hamlet" a few years ago, or the frantic call she got for incidental music by "a cheapeish orchestra, played in the distance, something like Beautiful Ohio. on calliope, but French" COLDIERS who groan at KIP. 0 may ponder the terrible New Years Eve assignment of Joe Ling, Chinese bus boy at Reuben's. He was ordered to open 5000 eggs for scrambling.

Once, at New Haven tryout, when show was giving clear signs of expiring for lack of laughs. Fay walked on stage without an idea in his head and put the audience in spasms for half hour. Nowadays 1t would take three gag writers a week to dope out such a routine, but F,ay's extemporaneous chatter was kept in the show for Q long Broadway run.

France-are becoming obsolete In- der fire from the 40-mm. gun, the Swedish Bofors cannon which shoots 120 shells per minute. Ground strafing of moving troops has been made suicidal, say the A officers, by the American 50 and 30 caliber machine guns which spit $50 bullets 8 minute into the sky.
 10000 FEET SUICIDE
 Whether the United States has an anti-aircraft gun which can reach into the stratosphere will first be known when 8 sealed cabin Nazi bomber is blown to pieces. But, says an A board, member:
