new POINT.
SYSTEM OF
RATI0NING

WASHINGTON, Feb. % - The
government announced today how
much processed food would be al
lowed on the new ration books with
a drastic scale of pointvalues lin
iting consumption to less than half
of normal.
Forty-eight ration points are al
lotted each man, woman and child
for March. The 48 points will COM
mand two cans of sliced pineapple
or three cans of pears, 48 cans of
baby food or may be spent ON a
variety of different foods.
Here is what some will cost in
the most popular can size:
Peas. l6 points; peaches. 81;
grapefruit juice, %; tomato juice,
80; soup, 6; baby food, one; prunes
or raisins 20 points a pound: fro
zen foods mostly 10 pound
Point values for dried beans, len
ills bought under point values will
be announced later. The first 48
points provided in the new ration
books are designed to cover pur-
chases for the entire month of
March.

REMOVAL OF
DON NELSON
UP In AIR
Military Quarters Would
Like 10 Have Bdrueh
al Head Of WPB

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-The re-
rnoval OF Donald Nelson from the
post of chairman of the War Pro-
duction Board is reported to have
gained favor in some major head
quarters. However even anti Nelson
quarters said the indications were
that Roosevelt would stand by Nell
son regardless of the opposition.
Military quarters have reported
that some Army and Navy officials
would like to see Bernard Baruch
first World War production boss,
be made Nelson's successor.
Opposition to Nelson is centered
en- his sweeping program of pro
duction scheduling" to be inaugur-
ated which would require the man
pfacturers of some 30 key NUM-
tons plants to get Board approval
Nefore making any deliveries of any
kind.

then the ships have to assemble in
the convoy. That is q tedious bus
mess.
That also explains why boys get
20 to 30 letters in one batch and
perhaps nothing for week or two.
The best remedy Is v mail. One
thousand V-mail letters, transferred
to miniature film, weigh only few
ounces A thousand one-ounce let
tiers would weigh more than 6O
pounds. V-mail flies. Straight mail
must go by boat Letters in both
categories are subjected to the same
censorship and V-mail Is in no way
less private than regular mail "
mail forms are obtainable at every
postofice

FIRING EBERsTADT

All of this was the background
to Nelson's final decision last week
to fire Ferdinand "Eber' Eber-
stadt, who ever since last summer
had been vice chairman of WPB
and one of the main cogs in the
production machine.
Shortly after Eberstadt came to
WPB he went to Charles E. Will
son ex-president of General Elec-
trio and WPB production wizard,
and is reported to have said: Mel
son can't last You and I can run
this show"
Naturally, Don Nelson knew all
about this. He also knew that Eber-
stadt was working hand in glove
with the Army Navy clique, some
of whom hate Nelson and have
been trying to undermine him.
However, Nelson would pull the
knife out and hand it back again,
until finally, last week he made
UP his mind to fire Eberstadt.
When word OF this got around
there ensued the liveliest backstage
tulnult Washington has seen IN
months.

MOSCOW, Feb. 22.-Mopping up
operations in the Donets Basin have
carried the Red Army into nuner-
Gus towns about so miles south
and southwest Of Vorosh and Ov-
grad, the Russians reported today,
while to the far west Soviet coll
umns are reported poised for a "a
mile march to the Dnieper River,
after capturing Pavlograd and
Krasnograd.
The Russians have also an
nounced drives west of Rostov and
north of Kursk toward Orel, as well
as west of Krasondark toward the
Black Sea coast.
While rolling forward, the Reds
state that is all they have to
announce today xnless further de-
velopments warrant additional re-

GANDHI HAS
CRISIS In

FraiI Hindu Weathers Sink
ing Spell on Twelfth Day
Of SeIf-|mposed Fast

NEW DELHI, Feb. 22.-Mahatma
Gandhi weathered a crisis yester-
day on the twelfth day OF his 81
day fast, according to a Govern :
ment bulletin. The bulletin said he
appeared more comfortable and
more cheerful though his heart is
weaker. A report signed by six doc
tors said that the frail Hindu asce-
tic entered the crisis at o'clock
yesterday afternoon. He was seized
with severe nausea and almost
tainted when his pulse became
nearly imperceptible.' Later he
took some water and lime juice and
rallied and slept well during the
night.

The W ashingto Ton
Merry Go Round
By. DREW PEARSON
Major Robert s. Allen on active dutyo

WASHINGTON.-Donald Nelson,
the Missouri boy who came to be
war production boss OF the u.S.A.'
is usually as easy-going as the
broad Mississippi which flows past
his home town of Hannibal.
For more than two years, other
government officials have been
stabping him in the back and Don
has been pulling out the knife
smiling sweetly and saying Here
is the knife back again; I'm sure
YOU won't do that anymore.
That he has been kicked and
cussed and jumped on was partly
his own fault, because he is SO
easy-going that he procrastlnates
and tries to avoid stepping on peo-
pies toes. But with all his faults,
Don Nelson has pushed war pro-
duction to record proportions, and
has shown fairly clear insight into
the economic problems of the coun-
try
Today, having worked for his
country night and day for more
than two years, Nelson doesn't care
very much whether he continues
on or not. His health is not as
good as it was two years ago, ana
he would almost like to quit.

BREMEN HIT
BY B0MBERS,
NIGHT RAID
Royal Air Force Strikes
Germany's Second Port
First Time Since OF. 70

LONDON, Feb. 22-Bremen was
heavily attacked by Royal Air Force
bombers in a night raid from which
all bombers returned, the Air Min
istry said. 1t was the first raid on
Bremen since october 90
British mosquito bombers struck
The city along the Wilhelmshaven
and Hanover
The promptness of the Air Min
istry's announcement of the raid
indicated that the Bremen attack
was unusually successful.
Germanys second largest port
probably found itself renewed tar

of it's extensive submarine building
yards.
