Washington.-The speed with which
women hang up their kitchen aprons
and don overalls may determine
whether national service act is nee
essary to meet manpower problems,
the Office of War Information re-
ported.
IF they leave their kitchens for the
machines of war in sufficient numbers
as the critical shortages develop this
Summer and Fall, compulsory national
service may be unnecessary" the OWL
said.
National service legislation, calling
for the drafting of men or women for
farm or factory, if necessary, is pend
ing in Congress.
ut is definite that most of the work
ers added to war and essential indus
tries must come from the kitchens and
from the less essential industries" the
OWL added.
Thus far, the OWL declared in "a
Progress Report on Manpower," the
draft has been pulling men out of
civilian work faster than women have
been mustered from the kitchens as
replacements
Evidence that the shortages have
been met so far lies in the fact that
production has been maintained and
increased" the report said.
Evidence that we have done il
without dictatorship lies in the fact
that no group has complained loudly
enough to overturn any manpOwel
mobilization measure adopted so far
although concessions and compromises
have been made, and complaints have
been invited
On the other hand, the OWL as
serted that manpower-a term which
it said included women as well as mel

Schools Will ATTEMPT
10 Keep Cheap MIX

School authorities will "do their
utmost" to keep the penny milk
program in operation, regardless of
any rise in price that might result
from the demand of producers here
for 70 cents hundredweight in
crease at the producer level, Robert
L. Haycock. assistant superintend-
ent of schools, said today.
If the requested increase is granted
and passed along to consumers, it
might indirectly peril the penny
milk program" through which 1000
to 5000 school children in low
income areas of the city are provided
with daily quota, Mr.. Haycock said
He pointed out. however, that Gov
ernment subsidies might possibly be
increased to cover the higher costs
to milk producers, or that dairies
here might be able to absorb the
extra cost.
If the schools are faced with the
necessity of paying a higher price
for milk, authorities will do their
best ito make an adjustment so that
the program can continue" MIR. Hay
cock explained He suggested that
parents who now pay l cent day
for milk for the children might be
asked to pay 6 cents a week in the
event of a price rise.
A public hearing on the proposed
price boost has been set for Thurs
day in Alexandria by the Maryland
and Virginia Milk Producers Associ-
alton. The Agriculture Department
also has been asked to approve the
increase, but has set no date for
hearing.

1t. Shearer said, "and the bonn

was exploded. But it had shot down
one of the Zeros.
Trying to land on return to the
base with the right tire shot up was
a hazardous undertaking. All loose
items which could possibly be done
without were thrown out; every
thing else was tied down: the
wounded men were made secure;
and the rest of the crew braced
itself for the landing.

Lieutenant Governor

Secretary of the Interior Ickes
last night described Lit. Gov. John
Lee Smith of Texas as a man:
"Draped in the outer garments of
patriotism and the underwear of
self-interest."
The Lieutenant Governor had &C
cused Mr.. Ickes of ''beaucratic pun-
Cling which has snarled and con-
fused the war effort on the home
front since our very entrar ce into
the war"
Mr.. Ickes made public the cor
respondence which developed pc
cause the Lieutenant Governor could
see no reason for the recent
order cutting Southwestern gasoilne
rations 25 per cent.
The cut. 1t. Gov. Smith wrote Mr.
Ickes, appears to be nothing more
nor less than cheap political
maneuver to appease certain OF the
politically powerful States on the
Eastern Seaboard. 1t is not in the
interest of the war effort, but is a
specious and stupid gesture wrapped
in the sacred folds Of the American
flag to make it acceptable to a great
and patriotic people"
Mr.. Ickes replied:
Perhaps you have motives which
blind you to the fact that the de-
mand for petroleum products is
rapidly rising as our military, agri-
culture and industrial users step up
their activities to meet the increas-
ing tempo of the war.
"As you go vociferously forth
draped in the outer garments of
patriotism and the underwear OF
self-interest, please remember that
our tanks and trucks and jeeps can
not burn as fuel the crocodile tears
that you shed, all the while resisting
any reduction in the nom -necessitous
consumption of gasoline"

Repeal Of Strike

The National Labor Relations

reports to the contrary the board

would lead it at the present time to
recommend to Congress the repeal
of the strike referendum section OF

Gently expressed the view that the
act should be amended. They took
the position that some local unions

for purposes not intended by the

The NLRB, however, said in a
statement;
The act has been in effect for
only two months In this period,
180 notices of a labor dispute have
been filed. rs have been withdrawn,
13 have resulted in the conduct of
strike ballots and 81 are still pend

"It was a beautiful landing" 1t.
