DIAPER RESCUER
Several million mothers OF
America probably have to thank
Congressman Lansdale Sa.Sscer OF
Maryland for OPA Amendment
No. q, Maximum Price Regulation
No. 11S, effective September a."
To the mothers Of America this
technical ruling Is probably the
most important OPA order ever
issued. It affects the supply Of
diapers.
There has been q growing scar
city Of three pointed pants. Tex
tile mills, busy with manufacturing
khaki for uniforms and hundred
and one other things for the Army
and Navy, have neglected that all
essential infants wear. ''or one
thing 1t was not very profitable to
manufacture diapers In view OF
the price ceiling.
So the Dy-Dee Wash In Col
Iege Park, Maryland, Just out
side the District Of Columbia,
appealed to Congressman Sass
Ger. They proposed that the
price ceiling for diapers be fran
tlcally increased, thus giving an
incentive to diaper manufactur.

OPA Administrator PrentisS
Brown as follows:
with the cold breezes and
frost and chill Of winter fast APP
preaching. we should be extreme
iy careful at time when we
are trying to preserve the Four
Freedoms, that this group In
their cradle be spared freedom
from want. While the mills
may be curtailing production, 1t
does not follow that the stOrk
will do likewise"
MANPOWER DISCARDE d
The Coast Guard has just issued
an edict which has Congressman
knitting their brows, in view of
the manpower shortage and the
drafting Of fathers.
Shortly after Pearl Harbor,
boatsmen all over the country
were urged to volunteer for patrol
duty along the Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts. Since then many Of
these private volunteers have been
putting in 40 and SO hours a week
in shore patrols. They get moth
ing out of 1t, except the satisfac-
ton of helping the war.
However, the Coast Guard has
now decided to dispense with
this important auxiliary.
One reason is that the Coast
Guard is getting all the cutters
and other craft 1t needs through
naval channels. But Congress
man Magnuson. of Washington,
and others don't consider this the
answer to the summary release Of
civilian manpower from further
patrol duty. Many Of the vol
unteers, though average for the
draft. are expert seamen who
could continue to be Of great
service in protecting our shores.
An investigation is planned.
