The number of alleged automobile
pleasure drivers whose cases must
be heard by either the District OPA
or local ration boards continued to
mount today. with the citing of IS
Washington motorists by OPA in
spectors.
District and park police reported
no violators, however, and after
surveying the snow and -ice-covered
streets said they had never seen
fewer automobiles on the streets.
The police report was good news
for harried ration board officials
who already have a backlog of sew

on which they must pass judgment
According to the District OPA, two
boards were to chip away today at
the mountain of work awaiting
them. Board So Seventh and l

pleasure driving and a number of
other cases being dismissed.
Meanwhile, an OPA spokesman
credited the pleasure driving ban
with virtually eliminating the gaso-
line black market business.
Most motorists are able to get
enough gas through their ration
boards to cover necessary driving
the spokesman said, and are afraid
to buy gas on the black market and

Rationing Held Solution.

hdtlonils Hel0 solution.
All officials admit that the only
satisfactory solution to the meat
problem is consumer rationing.
! OPA cannot, however, undertake
the program until about a month
after the canned goods program
has been started. They are now
shooting for March l on canned
goods.
A tremendous task faces OPA be-
fore meat rationing can be insti-
tuted. This is the Standardization
OF retail cuts among thousands of
butchers throughout the Nation.
Packer and wholesale cuts already
have been standardized in anticipa-
ton OF rationing, much easier
job.
An OPA spokesman said the half
cent per pound discount was allowed
as an aid to small wholesalers be-
cause of their reduced volume of
business. He added, however. that
many large packers probably had
found that their own outlets could
handle limited meat supplies.
Principal relief for the small, in
dependent packer, the OPA aide
said, would come from control of
livestock prices. This apparently is
not in sight, for the Agriculture De-
partment said it does not have a
proposal from OPA now to put
ceilings on livestock, though prices
of all animals are far above parity.
Leon Henderson, former price ad-
ministrator, said recently, I'VE hope
to keep away from livestock ceilings"
OPA Considers Pleas.
An official declared fixing live
stock ceiling would be a tremendous
job, if not an impossible one. He
explained that livestock then would
have to be graded on the hoof, a
ponderous task. Meat at present
is graded at the packer level.
OPA is considering several meas
ures to relieve the tight meat sit
uation, the spokesman said, al
though he declined to discuss their
nature. 1t was believed that one
step is dollars-a ceilings
at the retail level. Retail prices
now are presumably held to the
highest prices of March, l942.
This has resulted in some stores
with high ceilings obtaining sup
plies, while others with lower price
are left without meat. New ceilings
already have been established at
packer and wholesale levels.
Another complication in the meat
supply picture is that requirements
of the armed forces for 1943 already
have been raised 1,500 900, 900 pounds
above original estimates. These re-
quirements may be raised still higher,
it was said.

Recruiting Shift Explained.

Mr.. McNutt, it was said, might be
asked why, at almost the last

recruitment Of the volunteer land
army from the manpower commits
sion to the Agricultural Department.
The manpower chief has made two
requests to the House Appropria-

Botn requests were rejected. At
recent Budget Bureau hearings. it
was said, his farm placement officials

Merger of Activities.
However, faced with two rejec-
tions, the Budget Bureau decided to
consolidate the activities in the
Agricultural Department with the
hope that the Appropriations Com

Mr.. Wickard sufficient funds to

Mr.. McNutt said it was true that
we asked for funds for farm place

there last November 9.
Labor Piracy Wiped Out.
Absences from work have been

piracy" the term applied to hiring
raids by one employer on another S

mated in Louisville since the plan
went into effect, the VINO said.
The VINO, asserting that it's re-
ports were based on figures from d
firms which employ about third
OF all war workers in Louisville, +"
said the city had furnished "an
outstanding example of the results
that can be achieved under such
voluntary plans"
Similar plans, under which war
plants agree to abide by VINO hir-
ing regulations designed to halt Job
switching by workers, are operating
in more than 20 other cities and are
being developed in more than so
further labor shortage areas, the
VINO said.

PralSlng the new order" of this

State Welles yesterday castigated
Hitler and his gang of criminals, /"
declaring their master state" was
confronted with no alternative but
unconditional surrender.
The surrender" slogan of Presi-
dent Roosevelt at CaSablanca was
used by the Undersecretary as he
spoke in tribute to James G.. Blaine,
former Secretary of State, on the
50th anniversary of his death. The
ceremonies at the American
Union were participated in by a dis
tlngulshed group, including mem
bers of the diplomatic corps, mem
bers Of Congress and two of Secre-
tary Blaine's daughters, Mrs. Walter
Damrosch and Mrs. Harriet Blaine
Beale.
Traces Good Neighbor" Policy.
Mr.. WelleS praised Secretary
Blaines efforts toward Pan-Amer-
lcanism, pointing out that an inter-
American conference finally met in
1889, the year in which Adolf
Hitler was born. That year. he
added, will always be remembered
Tor its association with the origin
OF its present form of Pan-Ameri-
caniSm."
Paying tribute to Secretary
Blaine's leadership, Mr.. Welles also
traced progress of the past 10 years
since President Roosevelt adopted
the good neighbor" policy. During
that period. he said, confidence
was established throughout the
hemisphere in the good faith and
in the justice of the motives of the
United States. Today IL American
peoples are at war with the Axis
countries and 20 sovereign American
states have carried out the commit
ments and the recommendations in
which the 2l voluntarily Joined a
year ago (at Rio de Janeiro) and
are cooperating to the full extent
of their ability in insuring the
preservation of the liberty and indie
pendence of the New World"
Senator White Speaks.
Senator White, Republican. of
Maine stated that Secretary Blaine's
vision reached out beyond the
continental limits of this country"
The Pan-American Union was an
enduring memorial to Secretary
Blaine's vision, the Senator said.
DR.. Ricardo j. Alfaro, former pres
ident of Panama, pointed out that
although Secretary Blaine was not
the originator of pan-Americanism
"he took hold of a noble ideal, ap-
parently dead but only dormant, and
did the things that were necessary
to awaken it, to revitalize it and
make strong and fruitful reality"
DR.. Luis Guachalla, Ambassador
of Bolivia and vice chairman of the
Governing Board of the Pan-Ameri-
can Union, presided and placed a

vance estimates of supply were not

to country slaughters" the runs"
of cattle in markets are not so large
as anticipated. the official said. The
"70 per cent" believed to be available
for distribution TO the public
through controlled channels is some
what less and even the Government
is experiencing difficulty obtaining
its share. This poor distribution
contributes TO the shortages.
The OPA also had held that poor
distribution of meat could be cor
rected by setting constant price CELL
ings, doing away with regional var
iances in prices at the packer and
wholesale levels, the official declared
There has been some breakdown of
