It is illegal to sell shoes today,
but tomorrow rationing will start
at the rate Of three pairs a year

Without advance warning, shoe

scattered cities as New York, Kan

police after the order was issued.
Sales in New Orleans were held
in violation of a Sunday closing
ordinance. Police action in Detroit

proprietors to admit OPA omcials

Only house slippers, infants soft

cases will receive extra rations.
No Limit on Repairs.

Though shoes at a dizzy pace, Mr..
Byrnes said If parents have some
unused shoe coupons they can use
them for the youngsters. Also, there
will be no limit on repairing or re-
selling shoes.
Manufacture of womens' evening
slippers, spiked shoes, mems patent
leather shoes and other LESS essen
tial' shoes is forbidden.
The shoe problem resulted from
a limited supply Of leather, much of
which must come over submarine
infested routes, from foreign coun-
tries. A lot of leather is home
grown, but the armed services are
taking about a third Of all sole
leather.

Allied Patrols Near Wou
Kill 80 More Japanese

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
AUSTRALIA, Feb. 8 (R.-Allied
forces patroling near Wau, about
IS miles southwest of the Japanese
base at Salamaua. New Guinea,
killed an additional 80 Japanese
in ground skirmishes which followed
Saturdays great air battle over Wau
in which Il Japanese planes were
either destroyed or seriously dam
aged, an Allied communique said
today.
Another % japanese "stragglers
were reported killed in the Bakum-
bari area, about miles northwest
OF Coma, now in Allied hands.
The communique said two enemy
barges filled with troops were ma
chine-gunned by Allied planes in
Riebeck Bay on the north side of
New Britain Island Saturday and
that Substantial casualties" were
caused. One of the barges was set
afire and both were forced to the
beach.
Allied planes carried out armed
reconnaissance over a wide area in
the Southwest Pacific yesterday and
bombed and strafed enemy positions
in Dutch New Guinea, the Celebes
and Cape Gloucester, but Japanese
planes, after the severe defeat suf-
fered Saturday at Wau, were in
active.
OF the force Of planes which at
tempted to attack the Wan airdrome
Saturday, American fighter planes
shot down 81 fighters and three
bombers and anti-aircraft gunners
destroyed two more bombers. In
addition II Japanese fighters and
three bombers were said to have
been seriously damaged and possibly
destroyed.
Only a few Allied planes were
damaged during the battle which
ranged far and wide over the noun
tains between Wau and the sea and
not a single Allied flyer or plane was
lost.
The Japanese attack apparently
was intended to Illustrate the con-
centration of Allied air and ground
strength in the Wau region, where
Allied forces could menace both
Salamau and Lea.
