proved to be less in August
than In previous months. The

have been a few reported instances lt was pointed out, where skilled workers have taken advantage of their essential status to remain away from their jobs knowing that they would not be penali1ed for their absence. Manufacturers honor bound to furnish the boards with lists of workers who may be released first from their jobs, might act within the meaning of the regulations by naming as non-eSSential even . skilled worker whose continued ab- senccs slowed down producton.
 Meanwhile, Congressman Joseph E. Talbot has asked Director of Se- lective Service Hershey to inVcsti- gate deferments Of out-of-state work CTS employed In Waterbury, charging that boards from their home states are granting such workers industrial defermcntS.
 Establishment of the manning tables will eliminate the defermentS of these workers, according to selec. tive service officials, since their draft boards will accept the valuation placed on them by the factories, and they will be inducted as quickly aS Waterbury men.

NVO po AHuOuICSQl
 No decision yet has been reached on freezing" retail sales of any oi the hoardable rationed items. The decision will depend, Brown said on how public buying proceeds dur ing the next two weeks, 1n no event however, will there be Q "freese" oi meat sales.
 Consumers will not be asked to declare stocks on hand as with cof- fee and canned foodstuffs. This ex- emption also includes food stockl in frozen locker plants, used ex- tenSively in some mid.weStern states.
 Point values of meat will be set on 'per pound" basis. For OK. ample, housewives will have to pay Q fixed number of points for Q pound of tenderloin steak, 0 pound of pork spare ribs, Q pound of lamb neck or Q pound of calf's liver.
 The official points chart-the same for every retail store In the country--wlll include approximately l60 meat items. There also will be Q separate chart of about 60 types and cuts for kosher stores. Chooses, fats and oils, and canned fish will be listed on the meat chart.
 At least one of1lcial point list must be posted in each store, and, ad. dltlonally, point values must be posted at or near the place where the ratloned items themselves gre sold.
 Point values will depend largely on the supply situation and con. sumer preferences. Tn the case oS meat, cuts with . large amount Of bone and fat generally will have lower point values than cuts with iitle or no waste. Lamb neck. pork spare ribs and other cuts with Q large bone content will have much lower point values than round steak.
 Perlshable items such as brains, kidneys and hearts, also VIII cost less in terms of points.
 Point values will be changed from time to time to reflect changes in supply and consumer demand, Brown said, but probably not often. CT than once 6 month,
 Change In Stamps
 The new program permits retail' CTS to give "change" in ration stamps when . customer finds it impossible to give the exact amount of valid red stamps when making a purchase. Only one.point red stamps of any valid series may Do used for thiS purpose.
 Ratoaning of foodStuffS to hotels, restaurants md other so.called "in' stltutional" users under the new program will Do by allotment fixed on the basis of their sales during December, io42. Their supplies of fatloned foods will Do Slashed by approximately the same amount os those of private consumers.
 People who eat in restaurants will not have to give up ration coupons on the spot, but once oi Price Administration ofiicialS said they will find portions conSiderAbly smaller.

 The lend.lease map footnote says the lines indicate the "relative quantity" of goods shippei. The lines Eo Mufinansk and around Africa to the south of Russia are about equal. But the fine to Siberia is only slightly smaller, indicating that nearly one. third of oil lend siease goods shipped to the Soviet Union has been going over the Pacihc-TaT East route.
