GAS COUPONS CHANGED
FOR TRIPS

Motorists can use their "A' ration
books for trips into, or out of, the
eastern gasoline shortage area, ac-
cording to rules recently announced
by OPA. Since July 81, eastern mo-
torists have been using "A-6" coupons,
while those outside the east have
been using ATS. To overcome
these difficulties in travel across
the border" a new amendment to
the gasoline rationing regulations per-

HOME FRONT
CASUALTIES
INCREASING

Industrial accidents are on the in
crease, Part of the reason for this
has to do with the Introduction into
industry of all kinds of new workers
without previous work experience who
have no knowledge of safe working
habits Partly it grows out of speed
up production pressures and fatigue
of workers on the job for too-long
hours
= Safety engineers say, however, that
if employers wanted to they could
cut down the accident rate terrifical,y
by giving job safety training to new
workers and installing guards and
other safety devices.
This is what has happened to the
accident rate according to the Blu.
reau of Labor Statistics: between
1910 and 1941, employment increased
p per cent and employees % per
cent, but disabling injuries increased
46 per cent. The accident frequency
rate, measuring the average number
of injuries per million hours worked
was IA per cent higher in 1941 than
III IJ4U.
Industrial accidents, largely pre-
ventable, remember, resulted in 1871
in 10000 deaths, 100000 permanent
impairments, and over 100000 tenn
porary disabilities. Lost time as
result of accidents in 1941 was equiva-
lent to full-time employment of $780,
600 workers for year.
Secretary of Labor Perkins has
repeatedly warned against working
excessive hours. In spite of this,
Department of Labor figures indicate
that many workers are working hours
that result in serious fatigue. AL
though the average number IF hours
worked is not excessive, it is high
enough to indicate that large num-
Der of plants are working too-long
hours. These are the figures:

CLIMBING
PROFITS ATTRACT
NO attention

Even with the modification forced
on Economic Car Jimmy Byrnes by
labor pressure, the "hold the line"
order still freezes wages, to all in
tents and purposes. But while Byrnes
does a lot of worrying about the in
flationary effects of wage increases.
the effects of looming profits don't
seem to bother him much.
OPA has made study of the prof

Hollywood movies have led us to believe that all an MP does is keep soldiers on the street looking CT and breaking up fights with sailors.
 This is true so far as it goes. The MP is the man who quietly tells a soldier to button up" when he sees him walking down the street with his coat open. And when it comes to fighting, he still is pretty tough guy to contend with.
 But the MP's here are trained primarily for combat duty. When a landing barge carries group of soldiers ashore on an invasion, you nearly always find man with an MP brassard on his arm in it. His job is to direct traffic and keep equipment flowing freely inland to supply the fighting men.
 Tn one instance in the Tunisian campaign, when Rommel's Afrika Korps was pounding the Tanks with more than they could handle. and retreat was ordered, detail of MP's was told to stay behind until every vehicle had been di- rected through the area being evac- uated. In that case alone, 27 MP's were lost. They too are expendable.
 The military police also do mop up" work. When an army has the enemy on the run, it may bypass town where some of the foe are entrenched and let the MPs go in and clean them out.
 This is where they use the street. fighting tactics taught at Fort Custer, where a dummy village, "Hitlerville", has been constructed

 They work in teams of three While a machiile-gunner plays g stream of bullets down the street where land mines explode to sinlu- late artillery fire, the men creep from building to building. cleaning out the town. The advance man in the team carries a pistol. He is covered by the tommy-gunner. The third man carries a carbine. He remains some distance behind his two companions to pick oil any en- emy sniper who may expose him. self to get a shot at the two ad- vancemen. Machine-gun bullets are played through the street to teach the men the importance of keeping under cover and never exposing themselves.
 One other method of giving the men combat training is the inf1ltra- tion course. filled with exploding

 The whine of the bullets and the explosion of the mines help the sol dier to overcome the frightful noise of battle which may paraly7e him with fea- the first time he is in combat.
 Ju jitsu, or judo is taught the sol- dieES by former civilian instructors and wrestlers. They teach the MP's how to take into custody an unruiy soldier without injuring him and. more important. how to disarm a man who has the drop on him with gun, knife or bayonet
 This school makes them gentle men MP's who leave here for spe- cialized training in some particular branch of the service, but beneath the silken glove is a hand of steel, trained to meet any emergency.

It's not that the MP has suffered change of heart. He's still one of the toughest "fghtinest" men in the Army. But the War Depart ment finally has realized that the soldier is 6 valuable piece of gov ernment property, not to be crip- pied for life by an MP the first time he steps out of line.
 Here at the military police re- placement training center, where gentlemen MP's get their basic training, the men go through a tough 17-week course that turns them into small-arms experts adept at street fighting and hand-to- hand combat.
 The men are trained in the use of rifles, tommy guns, machine guns, carbines. revolvers. hand grenades, mortars and the stick, with emphasis on discretionary use of the latter.
 l If the man he is after is the en- emy, the MP can use the commando tactics he's taught in jul jitsu class eS - but if he is an unruly soldier, treat him gently but firmly, using just enough pressure to make him step back into line.
 Fighting Role Stressed
 "Never bring your stick down squarely on a soldiers skull" the MP is told, "but hit him a light glancing blow on the temple and knock him out: or slap him on the back of the upper leg just hard enough to paralyze a muscle for a few minutes" But above all, don't cripple him. Medical treatment for soldiers costs money.
