been critical of the method in which
certain officers were commissioned
after recommendation of the Re-
search Council to the Signal Corps.
Technical Photographic personnel
was required by the Army. In the
Signal Corps, as elsewhere, we have
called upon industries to recommend
technical military personnel. The
determination as to whether or not
any officer would be commissioned
did not rest with the Research
Council.
Il realize. however that the meth
Cd used might be criticized, 1t being
the fact that the Research Council
did not represent the entire indus
try. Only 100 out of 400 officers
commissioned for Photographic ac-
tlvities were recommended through
the Research Council. OF these, one
received an original commission as
high as lieutenant colonel.
Officer Procurement CHANGED.
L report to you that since last
October Officer Procurement has
ceased to be function of the Signal
Corps or Of any of the supply serv-
ices. 1t has become a function of
the Officer Procurement Service of
the War Department.
The disassociation of the train
ing film program from the Research
Council and the administrative
changes in the origin of the Army
pictorial service which I have de-
tailed have also brought about
changes in personnel Of the Army
Pictorial Service.
Your committee has made in
qulrles concerning the commission
ing and military activities of Col
Daryl F. Zanuck. Long before
Pearl Harbor, the chief signal officer
created an advisory council, to which
were appointed perhaps a dozen Re-
serve officers, each specially qualified
to give technical advice in his par
ticular speciality.
In January. 1941, Mr.. Zanuck
was commissioned lieutenant
colonel in the Reserve for duty In
this council. After Pearl Harbor,
Col. Zanuck was called to active
duty.
Served in War Areas.
Between intervals of duty in COM
bat areas overseas, he was stationed
at Hollywood to supervise the op-
GRAFTON of the cooperative arrange
ment with the research council. He
was transferred from that station in
August, 1912, and at that time he
resigned his office in Goth Century
Fox Film Corp. Col. Zanuck has
been commended by the chief signal
omcer for his courage, energy,
patriotism and accomplishment
Il think that his retention of the
Craftsmanship of the Research Coun-
Gil and his Office in goth Century
Fox, while part of his time up to last
August was being occupied by Army
duties in Hollywood, was unwise. It
is only fair to say, however, that his
retention of these positions was with
the knowledge and approval of the
chief signal officer.
He has made heavy personal
financial sacrifice. l do not believe
that he is subject to any personal
criticism. The missions for which he
was originally called to active duty
having now been accomplished, he
has requested that he be placed on
inactive status, and this request is
now before the War Department"
Senator Brewster, Republican, of
Maine said he was sure Col. Zanuck
is patriotic and doesn't intend to re-
treat after couple of experiences
under fire. (Col. Zanuck made

mands of housewives under ration
ing. Rather than run the risk OF
having their meat deteriorate dur
ing the week end. many are expect
ed to cut point values before the
end of the day
To do this, the local OPA ex-
planned. the merchant must first
post sign where it can be read by
every one, stating the kinds of meat
that are being offered at bar
gains" the point values at which
they are being sold and the expla-
nation that the values have been
reduced to prevent spoilage. The
regulations also make it clear that
all customers must be treated alike.
Within "a hours after the sale has
started, the dealer must make a re-
port to his local rationing board CIV
ing his name and address. the rea-
son why the point values were re-
duced, the kinds and quantities OF
meat being offered at the cut rate
Another report must be made to the
board within four days also giving
the name and address of the dealer
the kinds and quantities of food sold
at the lower rate and the total value
in points of the food sold at the
lower point values.
Buying picked up yesterday te
some extent, meat retailers reported
probably because the backlog of sup
plies in private refrigerators was
near exhaustion. Many butchers be-
lieved, however, that today's pur-
chases of meat will not reach the
normal level of ration buying because
many consumers are saving theil
first weeks points to be added to the
points that become valid tomorrow
In this way, they will be able to buy
larger cuts of meat than they could
afford with one weeks supply OF
coupons.
Meat Supply Unbalanced.
Reports from cities all over the
country showed that the meat supply
after one week of rationing is still
far from being balanced. Practically
all dealers in the Great Lake States
Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana. Mich
igan and Ohio-Were comfortably
stocked today in contrast to the Sc
rious shortages reported week ago
New York City, where there was
practically no meat earlier this
week, was stocked well enough to
take care of the present curtailed
demand
In Birmingham. Ala. the supply
was better than it had been, but
dealers still could not get enough
beef to fill the demand. while in New
Orleans, butchers were planning
point clearance" sales to avoid
threatened spoilage.
Similarly, in San Francisco the
situation looked brighter today but
farther north on the Pacific Coast
in Seattle. it was reported that
three -fourths of the dealers still had
no meat to sell. In Des Moines
Iowa, and Minneapolis. MINI. sup
plies today we're adequate and in
Dallas, Tex, most dealers we're over
stocked
1t was understood that OPA may
soon put meat rationing on g
monthly instead of a weekly basis
thus permitting the housewife to dc
her own budgeting of red stamps
Such a system. it was explained
also would permit consumers to buy
steaks and roasts at any time within
the month instead Of having to wal,
until they have accumulated enough
points to make such purchases pos
sible.
