Cream keeps your skin crystal
clean and fresh - and guards

dirt and grease tend to accumulate
and harden into blackheadS.
But you can be sure you won't
have any of these skin troubles, if
you use Lady Esther 4-Purpose Face
Cream! For it guards these two dan
ger zones, guards all the danger
zones of your skin!

Increasing Scarcity
Of Consumer Goods
Forecast by Nelson
Says Many Merchants
Moy Be Forced to
Close Businesses

By the Associated Press.
Prospects of severe privations on
the home front in 1943, multiplied
in comparison with civilian sacri-
fees in 1912, are foreseen by Donald
M. Nelson, War Production Board
chairman, as necessary to winning
the war.
He predicted that "travel by auto
mobile Is due for restriction much
more drastic than obtained to date
and saw a possibility that many
merchants might close their busi-
nesses because Of a scarcity Of things
to sell.
Full effects of the curtailment Of
goods available to civilians, he wrote
Representative Patman, Democrat
of Texas, will be felt vigorously in
the near future as stocks now in our
warehouses and shelves are used up"
Answers Protest
Mr.. Nelson's letter was in answer
to protest by Mr.. Patman, chair
man of the House Committee on
Small Business, against "the control
of heavy inventories in the hands Of
large distributors to the exclusion
of the 1,770,335 small merchants dis
tributed in large and small cities
and crossroads
In connection with our distri-
button SYSTEM" theWPB chairman
said, I'VE must squarely face the fact
| that the entire line of some distribu-
tors will be eliminated and major
parts of the lines of others will no
longer be available.
These facts suggest that the
amount of merchandise to be distri-
buted can not possibly support a
distribution system as large or as
varied as that which we now have.
This means the elimination of
many stores, and poses grave prob
| lens as to whether such elimination
should take place through the nat
ural operations of the competitive
system or whether varying degrees
of Government guidance should be
undertaken in connection with the
preservation of units necessary to
place products in consumers hands" "
Mr.. Patman had written Mr..
Nelson:
1--WE know from statements of
Office of Price Administration Off
cials that inventories in the hands
Of chain and department stores have
increased for and five times as
much as inventory in the hands Of
small retailers The House Com
mittee on Small Business is much
concerned over this unequal and in
equitable domination by the rela-
lively few larger distributors and
their inability to serve the vast
majority of our civilian population" !"
"In a war economy, Mr.. Nelson
replied, 1--WE begin not by looking
at the problems of the merchants
and devoting our energies to trying
to help them out of troublesome
situations, but rather our point OF
view is the civilian population to
whom we must guarantee that there
will be provided the minimum guam

POINT REDUCTIONS
EXPECTED SOON

Reduction OF processed food
point values Is anticipated as q fol-
low through OF sales surveys con-
Quoted by the OPA. Many OF the
slow-seliing meats have received
point decreases and retailers ex-
press the hope a similar announce
ment will be made for the slower
selling canned goods.
The meat schedule announced
yesterday and taking effect tomor-
row has increased the point value OF
meats on the scarce" list and has
decreased many items which are
plentiful and have been selling
slowly. Sausage, brains, and tongue,
all OF which have been purchased In
quantity considerably below normal
here, are among the meats which
will be available for smaller point
prices. Round steak has been in
creased O point, but retailers point
out there Is no bone or other waste
In the meat as In other steaks.
After May 81 retailers will not be
able TO reduce point values due 10
danger OF spoilage. II Is believed
that by that time meat markets Op-
orators win have had sufficient thnt

Soldiers to Back Admiral

Martinique
BY JOHN A. REICHMANN

washington, May 1--(UP)-Ffght-
ing French sources predicted today
hat II the United Nations decide to
occupy Martinique they will meet
lively resistance from soldiers and
sailors loyal 10 Admiral Georges
Robert, Vichy's commissioner.
The way for possible occupation
was cleared yesterday by Secretary
of state Cordell Hull who broke off
all existing ties with Robert because
Of his continued allegiance TO Vichy
and ordered the American consulate
general at Fort dc France closed.
Secretary of Navy Frank Knox fol-
lowed with the advice that the Navy
has the area under close sirveil-
lance.
Fighting French sources said that
there are 5000 ground troops In ad-
dition to the sailors which were
aboard the demobilized French war
ships at Martinique. These sources
said the troops had been kept In
training and that each night some
of them were assigned to guard
against invasion and to prevent de-
sertion.
American sources do not regard
the French warships stationed there
as a serious threat to the island.
Knox said that essential parts OF
their machinery had been sent to
Casablanca.

Roosevelt Certain To Act
Promptly In Coal Strike
RENTS OFFERED
WAR WORKERS
One-Family FRA Houses
Available Here to All in
Urgent Need

The Waterbury War Housing Unit
Committee this week announced
that 1-family houses, built with
priority certificates issued by the
FRA, could be rented by resident
war workers, provided such workers
are In urgent need of housing
caused by loss Of their present
quarters through legal steps towards
repossession or occupancy approved
by the OPA.
In other words a resident war
worker who has been served notice
to quit his present living quarters
and who IS DESTROYS of renting
priority-built house may make APP
plication for the same and be ac-
commodated. This ruling was OBJ
tanned from the Hartford office OF
the FILA this week by City Con-
trolier Cornelius i, Maloney, who Is
chairman Of the War Housing Unit
Committee.
The committee has received num-
erous inquiries and requests IN the
last few weeks, the chairman stated,
to aid local families with their
housing problems, as well as to
provide adequate housing for war
workers who desire 10 bring their
families here from out Of town.
1t Is hoped that the opening OF
War Housing Center here next
week will enable definite action to
be taken on all requests as have
been received by the War Housing
Committee, Mr.. Maloney said today
The Center was due to open today,
but lacks final approval from re-
gional authorities OF The NEA IN
Boston, The local set-up has al
ready been approved at Hartford.
The War Housing Center will
constitute central agency at
which application may be made for
admission TO such housing projects
as the federal sites on Long Hill
and Hamilton Avenue, as well as
taking preliminary steps for con-
version Of pricate homes or business
properties. A Rooms Registry service
in cooperation with those already
well established here will also be
maintained.
There are still n number oil
priority certificates for | = family
houses available for local builders,
Mr., Maloney stated and indicated
that more interest might be aroused
In the same due to the recent ruling
that resident war workers can be
regarded as eligible for them. A
total OF 572 such certificates has
been assigned TO the Waterbury
area Of which only 1913 had been
taken up rs OF March 81, 1913, Rec
ordS also show that 1874 units have
been built and occupied with 10
built and unoccupied. There are
OF such units presently under con-
struction.
But as OF March 81, Mr.. Maloney
was advised the FILA had 235 units
In Waterbury for which IT desired
TO have application made. RelaXa-
ton OF restrictions on occupancy
may have the effect OF increasing
the interest OF the local building
trades In these priorities.

PRICE CONTROL
PROGRAM LOOMS
General Roll-Back OF Out
Of-Line' Prices Answer
to Lewis
BY ARTHUR Il. DEGREVE
United Press Stan Correspondent

Washington, May 1-(UP) 1.-The
administration today counter-at-
tackled organized labors assault on
President Roosevelts hold-the-line
order by preparing q general roll
back of "out of hand prices" and
promising extension of price con-
trolls TO all important commodities.
The prices Of meats, fresh and
canned vegetables, coffee, among
others will be rolled back.
Price Administrator Prentiss M.
Brown outlined four-point pro-
gram designed to establish m equit-
able balance between wages and the
cost OF living q few hours before
the deadline for the strike of 100000
soft coal miners.
In addition to extension OF price
control and the rollback Of high
prices, Brown proposed TO establish
specific dollars and-centS prices for
foods so that all--sellers and buyers
alike--may know the legal ceiling
prices, and to bring the "chiSler,
the racketeer and the black mar
ket operator" to justice.
Although Browns program spe-
ciiically was an answer 10 John l.,
Lewis demand for SEA day wage
Increase for his miners to meet price
rises, 1t also was an attempt to head
of all the other labor organizations
which have served notice that they
will seek wage adjustments unless
prices are rolled back TO the May
IS, 1912, levels.
Brown said he had instructed his
staff TO put his new program into
effect without delay to the limit OF
our powers" He denied that the
cost OF living had far outrun the
level OF wages as charged by Lewis.
1.-THE simple truth OF the matter
Is that this office Is holding as near
ly as humanity possible W the prin-
ciple Of the stapilizationl act OF last
fall" he said. Our answer TO those
who assert that we are not holding
the cost of living line Is that wages
IN industry, factory and mine have
risen amply and sufficiently TO cover
the inevitable rises In the level Of
living costs.
