Controversy

washington, Sept. l0.--(UP)-
OPA General Manager Chester
Bowles avoided another inter-agency
dispute today by invoking PreSt-
dent Roosevelt's mo controversy"
edict as an, answer to charges by
Petroleum Administrator Harold L.
Ickes that the once Of Price Ad-
miniStration had failed to cut gas
olinc consumption.
IckeS told his press conference
yesterday that that was the reaSaEi
motorists in the east could not ex-
pect increased allotments now.
Challenged, Eowles refused to en-
ter the ring. He said:
"In view Of the Presidents desire
not to have agencies engage In con-
troversy, OPA has no comment to
make"
Ickes' criticism Of oPA was an
outgrowth Of the lifting Of the ban
on pleasure driving. Of1cials Of the
petroleum administration for war
long have looked up only es-
sential ldriving as permissible in war
time.
1t has been reported that PAW Of
ficials have presented their case
against OPA to War Mobilization
Director James F. Byrnes. PAW
contends, 1t Is said, that a marked
increase in gasoline consumption has
been discernible since the pleasure
driving ban was lifted September /
trend that started when OPA
abandoned strict enforcement.
PAW also believes the OPA has
been too liberal In distribution OF
B and G gasoline coupons and that
the entire system Of gasoline ration
ing has been handled loosely.

London, Sept. -Britons were
given q concrete reminder that the
war is still to be won when the
middle Of August brought the end
Of double daylight saving time and
the return Of the early blackout.
Witout any doubt, the blackout
is the most disagreeable aspect Of
day-to-day wartime living here. It's
not only the constant necessity Of
covering windows, which results in
rooms getting hot and stuffy, but
the inconvenience Of getting around
at night.
The combination OF the clocks
going back an hour and Of the
nights growing longer has forced
every one to start re-learning black
out technique. For many people this
re-education is gotten the hard way
AS witnessed by the rash Of
scratched or bruised faces seen in
Lodnon for the first couple Of weeks
after the clocks went back.
Most people only have to run
into sidewalk distractions once be-
fore remembering to carry q torch
(fiashlight) wherever they go for
the rest of the winter-which ac-
counts for the landoft1ce business
that was done at the end Of last
month in such London shops as still
have flashlights and batteries.

Production
Lag Causes
BY FRED MULLEN
United Press STAFF Correspondent


Washington, Sept. 10. (UP)-
Richard T. Frankenstein, vice-pres-
ident and aircraft division director
Of the United Automobile Workers
(CIO), said today that engineering
problems, design changes, faulty
material supply and delayed CONVEX
sion or Tetooling Of plants; not
labor shortages-have been respon-
sible for the lag in aircraft pro-
duction.
ut Is the considered opinion Of
our organization that unlimited
supplies Of labor to the industry in
the month Of July would have
served to increase the output Of no
more than one out Of the scores Of
aircraft plants In America" he said.
In a statement directed to Army,
production, manpower and war
labor board officials, FrankenStein
warned, however, that labor short
ages would threaten the entire in
dustry within a few months"
and that the failure Of the Boeing
plant ct Seattle to meet Is August
production schedule was only q
foretaste Of what will happen unless
aircraft plants use labor more ef-
fectively.
Meantime, Lieut.. Col. Robert q,
Coons Of the selective service Sys-
tenn announced that an additional
50-day extension Of deferments Of
aircraft production workers in Cali
fornia and Washington had been
authorized. The present 60-day ex-
tensions, granted individuals at the
request Of their employers, expire
Oct. !.
Lieut.. Col. Francia v. Keesling,
Jr., selective service legislative Of
ficer, told the senate military af-
! fairs subcommittee on nanpower
yesterday that the draft was not
responsible for west coast industrial
manpower shortages. He said that
aircraft company reports In
dictated beyond any doubt" that
turnover, mainly on the part Of
women, was a major factor.
Proposal
Frankenstein endorsed the Tolan-
Pepper Kilgore bill for an overall
once Of war mobilization with pro-
vision for labor representation. In
addition, he proposed:
I. An immediate conference OF
labor, management and government
on aircraft production problems.
2. Elimination Of wastage OF ma
terials, machines and manpower on
planes Of doubtful military EN-
cheney.
8. Design changes to minimize In
reference with production.
4. Redistribution of contracts and
concentration Of civilian production
5. Equalization Of aircraft wages
with those in shipyards.
6. Adjustment Of working condi-
lions to eliminate absenteeism and
turnover among women workers
action to meet housing, medical
eating, child-care and shopping
