CRITICAL SITUATION HERE IN
REGARD RATIONING WILL BE
DISCUSSED AT SESSION TODAY
Merchants And Other Business Men To Tell State
OPA Rationing Problems On Border At
Meeting In Montezuma 3 PM

NOgaleS merchants and buSi-
ness men in general will meet
in the MOnteZuma Auditorium
at pm. today with Hilliard T.
Brooke of Phoenix, district OPA
director, and Temple F. PenrOd
of Phoenix, district ratiOning
officer, relative to the critical
situation existing at this border
port in regard to rationing of
shoes, processed foods, and 9TH
er items.
Following the meeting, Brooke
and Penrod are to report to the
national OPA headquarters in Wash
ington and it is hoped by everybody
concerned that something can be
done to alleviate situation that is
becoming more unpleasant all the
time one that, unless it is cor
rected soon, may seriously hamper
good relations existing for many
years here between the two cities OF
Nogales, Arizona, and Nogales, Son
ora.
Nogales, Arizona, for about 40
years has taken care of the princi-
pal merchandise needs of the folks
of our sister city across the line and
everything was fine and dandy un-
til Uncle Sam ruled that only hold
ers of Ration Book No. could buy
shoes in the United States and hold
ers of that book must be residents
of the United States.
On top of this, purchases of 'vari-
Gus processed foods stopped this
week during distribution of Ration
Book No. and when trading in
those items is resumed next Monday,
only residents of the United States
may buy =. and Nogales, Sonorans,
will be further prohibited from
making purchases in this city.
Rationing rulings, too, have in
censed the people of Nogales, Ari-
zona. They first became mad when
Uncle Sam said they could no longer
bring across the line from Mexico
sugar and roasted coffee for their
own personal use and got still
madder when the United States
yesterday stopped Americans from
bringing in shoes and green coffee
from Mexico, also for personal use.
Beans, meats, canned goods and
gasoline are a few items not yet
halted by Uncle Sam but you can
never tell what minute those things,
too, will be forbidden.
What Nogales, Arizona, wants
to come out of today's meeting
is for some sort of a reciprocal
setup SO that SOnOrans can buy
