CABINET:
FDR Restores Order

Hereafter, if any administrative
heads in Washington are in conflict
over fact or policy, they must re-
solve their differences quietly or
else turn in their designations. That,
in short, was the ultimatum Presi-
dent Roosevelt laid down after Hen
ry Wallace had charged Jesse Jones
with interfering with the operations
Of the Board Of Economic Warfare,
which Wallace headed.
The President solved the Wallace
Jones fracas by abolishing the BEW
and establishing the Office, Of Eco
nomic Warfare and then appointing
as it's director Leo T. Crowley, alien
property custodian and chairman Of
the Federal Deposit Insurance cor
poration.
The action relieved both Wallace
and Jones of direction in the gov
ernment's purchase Of foreign ma
terials. Previously, the two agen-
cies had shared in the program,
with the Reconstruction Finance
corporation, which Jones heads, sup
plying the funds for the buying.

FUEL:
Gas for Farmers

Predicting Tightening of the sup
ply of crude oil in the West, the
Petroleum Administration for War
took steps to provide sufficient gaso-
line for farmers throughout the
country by giving them first call on
available stocks.
According to WAP, farmers are
using about 100000 barrels Of mo-
tor fuel daily. 80 per cent Of which
is being consumed outside Of the
East. About 10000 barrels are re-
quired in the Middlewest.
AS the WAP made its announce
ment. the big-inch pipe line running
from Norris, Ill, to the East was
opened. Eventually the line will
pump 30O,0 barrels of crude daily,
thus draining the West Of supplies
that had previously abounded be-
cause of a lack Of transportation
facilities.
Meanwhile, the oil industry con.
tinued alarmed by the drop in oil
reserves, partly caused, spokesman
said, because Of virtual cessation
Of exploratory drilling as a result
of prices for crude. Between SO to
60 billion barrels Of new oil will have
to be discovered within the next 20
years, it is said, to maintain present
production.

CANNED GOODS:

Already rationed, canned fruits,

cent in the next IL months, the War
Food administration announced. Of
the prospective pack of vegetables

get 10 per cent, and Of canned fruits

The total supply Of canned vege-
tables and soups in the next year
is expected to total 262, 900, 600 cases.
OF this amount, civilians will be
allotted approximately 10000, 900.
The War Services will obtain prac-
tically all of the remainder, with
about per cent going to the Allies
and other purposes.
About 100000 cases of canned
fruits and juices, excluding citrus,
will be produced, VIA estimated.
and of this supply, civilians will be
allowed approximately 100000
cases. Approximately 24,000.000
cases will be allotted to the serv-
ices, with the remainder marked
for the Allies and export.

Marketing of cattle increased in
the face of talk in Washington that
the OPA was considering establish
ing ceilings on livestock to break
the speculative angle of growers and
spur liquidation of herds. Plans also
called for modifying the govern
ment's support price of $13.75 for
hogs, to discourage feeding for
heavy porkers.
Although cattle marketing in
creased over recent abnormally low
levels, supplies still were well below
last years runs. Calves remained
exceptionally scarce. Continued
heavy shipments of hogs and sheep,
however, bolstered the overall meat
production.
OPA's plans for livestock ceilings
have been bitterly contested by con-
gressional farm spokesman, meat
packers and cattle raisers. Under
the present system of setting whole
sale ceilings, small packers have
found difficulty operating since no
bar has been set on prices paid for
stock.

FOREIGN DEBTS:

An improvement in financial con-
