Coal Rationing Unlikely
This Winter, BowIes Says

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug, 24-Coal ration
ing this winter is not probable,
Chester Bowles, general manager of
the OPA, said at press conference
today, but the OPA is prepared for
it if it is necessary.
"The odds are against coal ra-
tioning for the winter" he said,
but We are prepared for it and have
a program in mind if it becomes
necessary. However, no sensible
agency wants to inf1ict coal ration
ing or any other similar headache
on the public unless it is absolutely
imperative"
Food prices are one of OPAs chief
concerns at present, he said, with
"the crux of the high-price situa-
tion in foods centering around fruits
and fresh vegetables" OPA is de-
veloping a program with relation to
these items which will soon go into
effect, Mr.. Bowles stated, but no
details can yet be made public.
The OPA administrator said his
agency was receiving increasing sup
port from the consumer.

tobacco Men Expect
Busy Opening in
New Bright Belt
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RALEIGH, N. c., Aug 24.-Well
filled warehouses greeted buyers and
auctioneers today as the ID new
bright belt tobacco markets opened
their 1943 sales.
More than IL 100000 pounds of
leaf were reported on the floors last
night. with more coming in, and
only few markets reported farmers
holding back their tobacco.
The days average was not ex-
pected to go over the 41-cent per
pound ceiling average.
Meanwhile, Cows. j. M. Broughton
of North Carolina, Colgate w.
Darden, jr., of Virginia and Olin
D. Johnston of South Carolina
were on their way to Washington,
along with agriculture leaders and
State officials, to see if they couldn t
get the OPA ceiling raised to Al
cents.
They will confer with congress
sional representatives of the three
States tonight, and will meet with
OPA and Commodity Credit Cor
poration representatives tomorrow
to see If they can't get the ceiling
raised.
Gov. Broughton, who refused
to predict the outcome, said that
the North Carolina flue-cured grow
ers were entitled to more than the
41-cent average set for Georgia
Florida growers because the Tar
Heels graded and tied their leaf
while the Georgia-Florida growers
did not. This added to the cost of
production, he said, and should be
taken into consideration in setting
the ceiling.
All the markets reported fair
grades of tobacco on the warehouse
floors.

New Plane Engine
Raises Air Warfare
Two Miles Higher
BY the Associated Press,

DETROIT, Aug. 24.-A new type
Rolls-Royce aircraft engine with a
two-speed, two-stage supercharger
has been in volume production for
several months by the Packard
Motor Car Co. and is being used to
power the new North American Psi
Mustang fighter plane, George T.
Christopher, Packard president and
general manager, announced today.
Packard has been building Rolls
Royce power plants for nearly two
years for P-40 Warhawk fighters,
British Hurricane fighters, big four
engined Lancaster bombers and
Canadian built Mosquito bombers.
These engines have featured a two
speed, single-stage supercharger:
Adds 2 Miles to Ceiling.
"In effect, this new engine raises
air warfare nearly 2 miles higher"
Mr.. Christopher said. Horsepower
Is stepped up to more than $500.
Not only does the engine yield bene-
fits at high attitudes but it's i'm
proved performance makes it a
greater threat at low ceilings, too"
He explained that the supercharg-
er is to the engine what lungs are
TO its pilot. AS he goes higher, the
air he breathes gets thinner and
he needs a supplemental supply of
oxygen. Similarly, his engine needs
aid in its breathing"
High Power at High Attitudes.
In the new engine two small
multi-bladed rotors, or stages, COM
press the thin air of high attitudes
until it is six times the surrounding
atmospheric pressure. The first
stage, Mr.. Christopher said, COM
presses the air in fashion comparable
to that of single-stage super
charger. The air is then immedi-
ately passed to the second rotor
where it is compressed further.
The net result" the Packard ex-
ecutive said, is the maintenance of
high power at high attitudes where
the enemy has not yet shown any,
thing similar
Mr. Christopher said DEVELOPMENT
OF the entire supercharger was Joint
ly done by British and Packard en-
gineers with cooperation from the
United States Army Air Forces. He
said that in operation the super
charger revolves nearly 25 900 times
minute.

| velt added, but must have their
work implemented by the people in
vital industries.
Reviewing a bit of past history
which preceded that which has been
made here in Quebec, Mr.. Roosevelt
recalled how. it took weeks and
months to prepare some offensive
action. When he and Mr.. Churchill
met in Washington in June, 1912,
with things looking pretty dark, he
said, the Allies were pretty much
on the defensive around the world.
But at that time, the President
added, the invasion of North AT.
rlca was planned for November,
1912.
Last January at aCasablanca, he
said, were developed the plans
which have been carried through in
the operations IN Tunisia and then
in Sicily.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he thought it
| could be assumed that other plans
are about to be developed.
He left one gap in his story. one
question unanswered: What was
Planned at his meeting in May in
washington with Mr.. Churchill?
That left the way open for specu-
latlon that the unexpected inya-
sion OF the continent was mapped
then and that the Quebec confer
ence was designed to check and re-
check the plans of operation.
Brendan Bracken, British Minister
OF Information, said yesterday that
mliltary decisions of utmost i'm
portance" had been reached at the
meetings here.

deadly gamut.
But this yell was OF victory. Like
