provided, in the event Of shortage
that commodities shall be rationed
upon such conditions as may be
necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, and to promote the

THE rationing Of gasoline upon
condition that it not be used for

great shortage, unquestionably is in
the public interest and win aid the
most effective prosecution Of the
war.

press my thanks to the public and

II each ration book holder makes

sufncient to meet the needs OF most

most consumers Of canned goods
are in family groups and can pool

maintain food purchases on a more

The ration for March, it was felt
will be less than in later months
The OPA Is taking no chances on
giving out more coupons than there
are supplies. After it is determined
how the rationing is working out
during the first month, the ration
probably will be increased.
The OPA said the HIST of point
values for various items would be
posted in all stores. A new list
setting forth the point value OF
foods during April, will be pub
lished about March IS. A new list
giving new point values, will be
published each month.
The No. 2 ration book will be
distributed during the week OF Feb

Of . family will be allowed to OBJ

William Green, president Of the
American Federation Of Labor.
and Philip Murray, president Of
the Congress Of Industrial Or
CARNATIONS, told President
Roosevelt today the cost of liv-
ing is getting out Of bounds" and
urged him to have universal and
equitable rationing Of al civilian
commod odities-including clothing
put into force Immediately.
Mr.. Green later told reporters he
had been receiving many complaints
from labor that the cost of living
Is going up fast, and he and Mr..
Murray called on the President to
see what could be done about 1t.
Mr.. Green said the Little Steel"
formula for industrial pay increases
seems to be unfair" In its infiexi-
bility and suggested that. 1t be dis
carded as the basis on which the
War Labor Board considers appli-
cations for pay increases.
Wage increases designed to Offset
rising living costs are limited by the
formula to Is per cent Of the jan
uary, 1o41, levels. except In cases
to correct gross inequities, to elimi-
nate substandards Of living or to
aid fn the effective prosecution OF
the war.
Mr.. Murray said the cost Of hv-
ing problem lies in the need for
effective price control. He said the
most effective way Of controlling
living costs is In making price cell
ines effective and In providing for
rationing Of Ill civilian goods.
The union leaders were accom-
panied at the conference by Anna

gional director Of the War Man
