To Purchase Ammunition
By the Associated prsss

By the Associated Press.
The War Production Board today
granted hunters and sportsmen an
additional six weeks in which to
purchase shotgun and rifle ammu-
milton.
The original order specified that
ammunition users other than ranch
ers and farmers could buy shells and
cartridges only between October l
and November Is. Today's order ex-
tends the period to December 81.
The WPB said production of such
ammunition had been slower than
anticipated and that farmers and
ranchers, invoking their priorities,
had taken most of the present sup
ply. The extension is designed to
permit manufacturers to complete
their production quotas.
