went to another Official in the en-
forcement division.
Here they were told that. while
there is such an discrimination
clause. it is impossible to enforce
when oil stocks of dealers are low
throughout the city.
He did admit, however, that in a
similar case recently, a threat by
the OPA obtained satisfactory re-
suits. But he insisted that such
a proceeding would not work now.
Shrugs at Hearing Plea.
Even if the case was presented
to the Department of Justice for
prosecution. he said, hearing would
not be held for at least two weeks.
And that wouldn't help the Queens
Chapel Manor families.
But, the group suggested, wouldn't
that help if a similar case arose
in the future? The official shrugged
and reiterated that he didn't think
the oil companies would comply with
such an order.
In most Of the so homes. the
families have 50-gallon tanks which
must be lefilled at least twice a
month and more often in cold
weather. The howeowners who
have oil. it was said. have 275 or
350-gallon tanks. which do not need
reflling so often.

Hawaiian Proclamation
NAV Restore Civil Rule
Nv the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
A series of proclamations to be
issued by officials in Hawaii is now
expected to be the method by which
civil rule will be restored to the
territory, informed officials said to-
day.
The plan to restore civil rule by
means of a presidential proclama-
tion has been at least temporarily
abandoned. they said. because it
was felt the President should not
be burdened with the problems in
volved In restoration of civil au-
thority in Hawaii. The territory has
been under military government
since December 7. l941.
Presumably, they said, the Of
ficials in the territory who would
issue the proposed proclamations
would be the civil and military
governors. Such action, they added
would tend to preserve the title OF
military governor and would prob
ably aid in preserving for the mill
tary a predominant position in ter
ritorial government.
During conferences of the Navy
Army, Interior and Justice Depart
ment officials, the powers proposed
to be restored to civil authorities in
the islands were considerably
modified" informed sources said.

are nearly as close to New York as
Washington, he said, and accord
ingly farmers are selling there.
One solution would be the raising
of the ceiling by OPA, observers say.
This, however, will mean an in
crease in price to the consumer, an
eventuality the Government hopes
to avoid. Only other alternative
would be the setting of ceiling for
farmers.

Ban on EnIistments
Awaits New Physical,
Educational Standards
Monpower Aides and
Armed Forces Holding
PorIeys on Limits
BY JESSE O. IRWIN.

Manpower Chairman Paul V. Nc
Mutt will await the working out of
new physical and educational stand
ards for men to be inducted into
the armed services before ordering a
complete ban on voluntary enlist
ments in the Navy, Marine Corps
and Coast Guard, it became known
today.
Representatives of the armed
forces are meeting with Manpower
Commission officials to perfect the
standards. The progress made so
far indicates that it probably will be
60 days before the general enlist
nent ban goes into effect.
When cessation of enlistments was
ordered in the Presidents manpower
executive order Of December S, Mr..
McNutt Immediately banned enlist
ments in the Army and fixed Feb
ruary as the date volunteering for
the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast
Guard would stop.
Checks Abandoning Jobs.
Meantime, all enlistments must
meet with approval of local draft
boards. This acts as a temporary
control of inductions into the armed
forces and prevents men with occu-
pational deferments from quitting
their jobs to enlist. which was one
of the principal reasons for the
cessation order.
New standards are necessary be-
cause the Navy, Marine Corps and
Coast Guard educational and physi-
cal requirements are higher than
those of the Army.
Mr.. McNutt also is reported work.
ing on plan for the centralization
of induction centers in each town
and city to avoid forcing men to
go from place to place if they prefer
induction into either the Army, Navy,
Marine Corps or Coast Guard.
When the complete ban on enlist
ment becomes effective. an inductee
may express to his draft board a
preference for the type of service in
which he desires to serve. However
the manpower chairman has ruled
that the board has the authority to
put him in any of the armed
branches.
The manpower chairman has said
he has some pretty strong repre-
sentations" on the current physical
and educational standards of the
armed services and that he believed
| they could be brought together sat-
isfactorily.
He added that he had no plans
to force the Navy. Marine Corps and
Coast Guard to use "bullwacks," the
Army's definition of 1-B classed
men who have been inducted for
limited service only. He said he was
not certain how many places the
Navy, Marine Corps and Coast
Guard would have for such person.
The Navy and Marine Corps, be-
ing more specialized types of serv-
ices. have for years maintained rigid
physical and educational standards.
Enlistment acceptance is based on
high school education or better and
almost perfect physical condition.
In peace time the Army's physical
and educational requirements are
also high. but since the declaration
OF war, the standards have been
lowered until induction now Is pos
sible even if the inductee has con-
tracted a social disease
The Army still is refusing to &C
cept illiterates but is setting up pre-
induction classes to give each IL
literate called by draft boards three
or more months of schooling to per-
nit entrance into the service on a
limited basis.

Poultry Dealers Seek
Solution 10 Threat Of
Shortage Of Fowl
Price Ceilings Blamed
For Squeeze; Store
CIosines Forecast

Threatened with the most serious
shortage of fowl here to date, whole
sale poultry dealers planned to meet
today to work out some solution to
the problem, which already promises
to close down number of concerns
and leave the city with scant sup
plies.
The operator Of one concern said
he was closing down today and
would remain closed for several days.
He described the shortage as the
most critical so far, and predicted
few dealers would be operating in
the next week or 10 days unless some
relief is forthcoming.
Virtually all wholesalers reported
their stocks depleted, with no pros
pect of getting more supplies.
Price Squeeze" Blamed.
Dealers agreed that OPA price
ceilings had placed them in
squeeze" in which they were unable
to pay prices of farmers. The latter.
it was explained. are selling their
poultry to markets other than
Washington because of better prices.
One dealer said he received 200
coops of live chickens this morning,
which he divided among four deal
ers in the same vicinity. Il guess
they would have closed down if we
hadn't shared with them" he said.
Another poultryman said the real
pinch would be felt on the retail
market here the middle of next week.
There probably won't be any fowl
for consumers by the end of the
week" he warned.
Poultry prices on farms have es-
capped an OPA ceiling. Accordingly,
wholesalers here find they cannot
meet the uncontrolled prices of
farmers and still operate their busi-
ness under retail ceilings. One deal
er commented that he could not
operate at loss every week. Prices
we are permitted to pay by OPA
don't interest the farmer" he added.

Supplies, one dealer said, are
shipped here from the Shenandoah

No Solution Found
To Fuel Problem in
Queens Chapel Homes
PIeu to Susscer and OPA
Fails to Bring Oil to
Hyuttsville Subdivision
BY J. B. ZATMAN.

Approximately 60 families in the
Queens Chapel Manor subdivision
near Hyattsville, Md, today were still
uncomfortably low on fuel oil de-
spite an appeal by five of the home
owners yesterday to Representative
SaSscer, Democrat, of Maryland and
to OPA officials.
Temporary relief was provided
later by one fuel oil dealer, resi-
dent said, who let the families have
enough fuel to last about three
days" Before that their tanks had
been absolutely empty" Still no
provision had been made, however,
for providing oil when this supply is
exhausted, it was said.
Children's Health Periled.
The families, who said the health
OF their children is threatened by
the lack Of heat. had been unable to
obtain No. l fuel oil from distribu-
tors for almost week. Some fami-
lies had been able to buy small
amounts Of kerosene for fuel and
others had used small electric heat
ers, neither of which provided much
heat, one resident said.
They had been told by the dis
tributor with whom they deal that
his tanks were dry, while other fuel
Oil dealers refused to deliver oil be-
cause they aren't regular GUS
toners"
Give Up, Finally.
After spending hours from their
work. first comforting with Repre-
sentative Sasscer and later with
OPA officials, the five homeowners
finally gave up after one official
told them he was unable to do
anything.
The five, P. E. Paxton G. w. Moon.
L. B. Zieger. c. L. Sheetz and G. B.
BroWthen, thought they had their
problem solved after meeting with
Mr.. Sasscer. Also at the meeting
was Walter F. Mulligan, president
of the Prince Georges County Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations.
After describing the situation to
The Congressman. the group was told
that there is an nti-discrimination
clause in the OPA regulations which
compels oil dealers to serve all per-
sons without oil, regardless OF
whether they are regular customers.
provided they live in an area served
regularly by the dealers.
When Representative Sasscer was
assured that Queens Chapel Manor is
served regularly by dealers who re-
fuse to sell No fuel oil to the fami-
lies without oil, he directed the men
to an OPA official who, he said,
would work out the details of an
order directing the dealers to sup
ply the families.
OPA Less Optimistic.
The OPA official, however. was
less optimistic. He said such all
order would come under the en-
forcement division of the OPA. but
added that he would Try to do some-
thing for the group
The OPA official in charge of en-
forcement was out. So the men
