home to close the windows, and
thus escaped what might have been
serious injury. During the same

DOVER REJECTS
LAWYER SET-UP
Ration Board Returns to Old
System of Hearing Gas
Ban Cases )
SYSTEM UNFAYORABLE

The Dover War Price and Ration
Board has withdrawn definitely
from the State OPA-sponsored plan
which provided that violations of
the non-essential driving ban in
this area be heard by outside spec
al hearing attorneys appointed by
the state office. All reported vio-
'lations within its jurisdiction will
be heard and disposed of hereafter
by the Dover board and the servic-
es of the visiting attorneys, Hous-
ton Wilson and 1. D. Short III,
Georgetown, will be dispensed with,
a spokesman for the board an
Inounced. We wish it clearly I'M
derstood however, that we were
not dissatisfied with the services
given by the attorneys who were
assigned to hear reported violations
in this district, but we feel that it
is our obligation to hear and dis
pose of the cases reported to us in
our jurisdiction and that we are
competent to perform the duty re-
quired of and accepted by u.s." he
explained.
Not Performing Duties
The spokesman commented that
the members of the board, in ac-
cepting appointment, bound them
selves to exercise their best judg-
ment in administering the OPA
regulations in the allotting of gas
cline and other rations and in en-
.forcement of the regulations and,
therefore, believe strongly that
they would not be performing the
duties expected of them if they re-
sorted to side-stepping. We feel
we owe an unacceptable responsible
ity to the people and we do not de-
sire to take the easy course of hav-
ing our work done by someone
else" he added. 1--WE were willing
to give the new system a trial and
now we are not satisfied that it is
a proper or commendable substi-
tute."
The Dover board, it is known,
never requested that the special

DRAFT THREATENS
PAPER PRODUCTION

Washington.-Th drafting of wood
cutters by North Carolina draft
boards is threatening production at
the Canton, N. c., plant of the Cham
pion Paper and Fibre company, Ham
ilton, according to testimony given
Monday by Clarke Marion, vice. -presi-
dent of Champion, before the Boren

said that in August, September and
October the company lost 800 wood
cutters in North Carolina and that
during the next three months it was
expected more than 600 men would
enter the armed services.
