New Ration Point LIST
Is Effective Today;
Two Errors Corrected
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Two errors in the official list of
ration point values for meats, fats,
fish and dairy products, which be-
comes effective today, were corrected
yesterday by the Office of Price
Administration.
Both errors occurred In items
listed under Meats in tin or glass
containers" The point value of
"tongue--lamb, pork or veal" should
be seven points instead of five, as
originally issued. "Potted and dew
illed meats listed enormously at
four points, should be five points.
Retailers, wholesalers and pack
ers were asked by OPA to make
these corrections In the official point
charts.
The OPA also announced it Is
permitting unlimited use of proc
essed foods by schools, charitable
institutions and correctional insti-
tutions where such foods would not
ordinarily be processed commerce.

Foods which come under the re-
laxed institutional restrictions in
clude: ID fruits and vegetables the
institution grew and proeessed for
its own use; CD food the institution
processed from gifts of fruits and
vegetables that would not have been
commercially processed, including
local surpluses from the War Food
Administration: 90 gifts of proc
essed foods which were produced
from non-commercial supplies.
The rationing agency said many
school lunch programs operated in
part on gifts of home canned pro-
duce donated by parents. Many
prisons grow part of their food re-
quirements.
OPA will require that institutional
users report quantities of non-com-
mercial processed foods consumed
Ration points will be deducted from
the institutions bi-monthly allot-
ment up to 10 per cent of the total.

EWMC Insists Services a.
Don't Want BIAS Men
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The armed services aren't inter-
ested in calling up men past the age
of 81, War Manpewer Commission
spokesman said today in comment
ing on proposal by representative
Snyder, Democrat, of Pennsylvania,
to draft older men to forestall the
induction of fathers.
While there is no legal bar to the
induction of men past 81, he said
neither the Army nor the Navy ask
Selective Service for men of that
age. This is chiefly because a major
ity of older men are not physically
qualified for military service, he
said.
Furthermore, he added, the older
men generally possess greater skills
needed at home in war production
factories.
THE Selective Service doesn't fix
the physical standards, the Army
and Navy do" he said. THE higher
you go in the age brackets, the
greater Is the number of physically
unfit"
Mr.. Snyder had suggested re-
sumption of induction of men be-
tween 81 and 45 years of age with
out dependents, declaring that
would be better than drafting IA
theirs under 38.

Increase Sabotage,
French Underground
Is Told by AIgiers
ny the Associated pres.

by tHe ASsoclate0 PreSS.
ALGIERS, Sept. 4.-The French
Committee of National Liberation,
keying its moves with the advance
of the Allies onto the European
mainland, has ordered the under
ground committee of resistance in
side France to step up its organiz-
ing and sabotage activities in
preparation for the day when Allied
forces land in France.
The underground committee is led
by young president who the Ger
mans by now know is far from
being myth. He remains anony-
nous except to his close collabora-
tors in France and to those closely
connected with the Liberation Com
mittee here under Generals de
Gaulle and Giraud.
The underground president, 1t was
disclosed today, is a man previously
unknown in French politics who
has risen to the top through strong
leadership. He Is said to have the
full support of the underground
committee, and in turn Is said by
de Gaullists here to have accepted
the Liberation Committee in Algiers
as the governing body of French
liberation efforts.
An adherent of Gen. De Gaulle's
said the underground chief was a
De Gaullist.
he Underground Committee
holds regular meetings in cities
throughout France, even in Stras-
bourg which the Nazis annexed. The
members meet almost under the
eyes of the Gestapo, and yet it is
said that the Germans never
learned about any meeting place
until too late to make any arrests.
The De Gaulle aide here said
the Resistance Committee has an
army" in France.
Thousands and thousands of
French have fled to the hills rather
than work In Germany" he said.
This army has rifles, machine guns,
mortars and some artillery"
The main Underground Commit
tee works through ub-committees
in each department of France, and
these subcommittee have under
them local committees in towns and
villages.
This highly centralized network
has placed sabotage on a smoothly
organized basis, directing its main
effort in preparations for full ac-
tivity when the Allies land in France

German Bishops Score
Lack Of Religion in Reich
sy the Assoclated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERN, Sept. 4.-The German
bishops of the Fulda Conference
have expressed regret in a pastoral
letter that even "in this dangerous
and costly period In our father
land" the battle has been continued
against the Christian church.
The letter, dated August 10, was
read in most Catholic pulpits in
Germany on August 90 and de-
clared that education in the Reich
was aimed at de Christianizing"
people, especially youth. Evacuated
children IN camps. schools and
homes have been refused religious
instruction and attendance at
church and the reception of the
sacraments is often difficult, II not
impossible, the letter said.
Heavy pressure has been ex-
erted on many Christians amount-
ing to almost complete suppress
sion" in the Warthegau area, the
bishops asserted.
The letter was signed by Adolf
Cardinal Bertram of Breslau, Mi
chael Cardinal Faulhaber Of Mu-
mich, Theodore Cardinal Innitzer
of Vienna and by 26 archbisnops
and six other representatives of
German religious districts.
