TIME, MATERIALS
 SAVED BY ORDERS

Enough man-hours to build 8 Liberty ships, as well as 600,000 tons of steel, 17,000 tons of copper, and large quantities of other materials have been saved through approxi- mately 100 limitation orders and 82 simplification orders issued be- tween February and December, l942, by the War Production Board, the Office of War Information said to- day.
 The orders affected Sl5 products, the OWI said, and have not only saved materials but have also in- creased production through the standardization of types. Standardi- ration, it was pointed out, is most important in the production of weapons subject to the hazards of battle. When standard components are made for tanks, guns and air. planes. spare parts are more easily supplied.
 In addition to savings of cooper and steel, the orders are estimated to have conserved 10000, 900 yards of cloth, 30,0OO tons of leather 45O O,00O, 900 feet of lumber, 227 ,O0O tons of pulp, 35,OOO tons of solder. and 5000 pounds of tungsten.

HITLER COUNTS ON SUBMARINES Has Halted All Other Naval Construction,
 Knox Says

Atlanta, Ga. March l2--(UP)- Secretary of Navy Frank Knox said today that Adolf Hitler had halted all naval construction except sub. marines and expected to use the underSea craft as his lace in the hole" to win the war.
 Knox, here to attend @ celebrati ton marking the climax of efforts of Atlanta citizens to sell $27,500,00O In bonds to build @ new cruiser At- lanta, said that "the German sub. marine menace IS still the major menace of this war"
 America isn't kidding itself," he said. "The submarine warfare still Is one of the major menaces we have to combat"
 Knox said that his informa ton the Nazl fuehrer was concentrating shipbuilding efforts on submarines was obtained from reports to the Navy department.
 Knox revealed that of the 150 new combat vessels added to our fleet last month, l30 of them were new ships and 20 were craft converted from merchant vessels.
 Tt Is my belief," he said, "that shipyards of the nation now are at maximum production"
 Knox will speak tonight at aa cel- ebration in Atlanta's municipal auditorium marking the close of the campaign to replace the cruiser At larta sunk in naval action of Guadalcanal last November.
 Later he will address a joint ses- sion of the Georgia legislature.

Fuel Economy
 At Home Saves
 Lives At Front

Because oil is of prime impor- tance in today's mechanized war; fare, the smiple heat-saving meas ures recommended to home and apartment owners by government agencies can play Q direct part in saving American lives on the battle fronts.
 TankerS which used to carry fuel oil around our coasts are now de- voted to the needs of the armed forces. which require every drop of oil and gasoline that can be ship ped them. Overland transport of oil and coal, too, is strained to the utmost to concentrate fuel at east ern ports for shipment abroad and to meet civilian needs.
 Yet it is estimated that Ameri- can families can save the tremen- dous total of ll0,000000 car miles used to ship oil and coal every year by such @ simple precaution as pulling down their window shades. Cloth window shades cut heat loss through the panes by 40 to 50 per cent, economize as much as 10 per ment on fuel. They should always be pulled to the sill at night, and in unused rooms during the day.

OIL SHIPMENTS
 TO SPAIN OFF
None Since February of l042, Sumner WelleS
 Announces

Washington, March l2.-(UP)- Undersecretarv of State Sumner Welles revealed today that no bulk shipments of oil have been made from the United States to Spair since February, 1942, and that any future shipn ents to Spain from South America will be subject tc agreement of the British and Amer. ican governments and theirjo int chiefs of staff.
 Tn Q letter to Chairman Sol Bloom, D., N. Y, of the House foreign affairs committee, Welles said 227,347 metric tons of petro- leum products were exported tc Spain by the U. s. in l04l and IT, 771 metric tons in l942.
 "These are the only shipments made from the United States in the last two years. The last bulk shipment from this country oc' cured on February 19, 1892" thu undersecretary said.
 Welles' letter was prompted by s statement made in Barcelona re- gently by American Ambassador Carleton J. H. Hayes that petroleum products now available for civilian consumption in Spain exceed the per capita distribution along the eastern seaboard of the United United States. Government of ficials said at the time that petro- leum products going to Spain were transported in Spanish tankers from sources in Latin America.
 The Hayes statement drew varied and adverse comment in Washing ton. Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers, R Mass, introduced resolution auth orizing the President to furnish fig ures on the amount of petroleum products sent to Spain. WelleS' let- ter was the official government re- ply.
 Welles said that by agreement be. tween the United States and Britain Spanish vessels were permitted tc carry through the Atlantic blockade certain limited quantities of potro' leum products bought by Spain IT South American ports.
 "The movement envisged in tht arrangement" he said, twas esti- mated to meet essential needs, es' pecially public utilities and trans portation."

LADY MARINES TO BE TOUGH

Northampton, Mass, March 12 -(UP)-If and when the women Marines land, they'll be able to take the situation in hand.
 Maj. Gen. Hunter Hurst, who came here from Pensacola, Fla, to command the new corps, said today his charges will be "a lot tougher than the WAVES" and will be drilled by several hard boiled drill sergeants" recruited from the Marines boot camp at Paris Island, S. 0.
 Brawney women are wanted, said Hurst, in revealing that the first two women to enlist weighed 14S pounds each. To make them march like West Pointers, they will be directed by Capt. Philip McArtlle, trainer of the Radio City Music Hall "ROckettes".

POSTWAR WORKS
 UP TO CONGRESS
President Claims Cushion Against Unemployment
 Must Be Created

Washington, March l2-(UP) - President Roosevelt said today the question of planning now for post war public works to provide jobs as cushion against unemployment IS squarely up to congress.
 Discussing at a press conference the recommendation of the nations resources planning board for a vast pool of public works to take up the slack after the war, Mrs. Roose- welt said it is plainly up to congress whether the country will be pre- pared for this letdown or whether it will not be read to take up the slack.
 He said he agreed with members of the planning board on the neces- sity for continuing postwar plan ming. but that the responsibility for the method and the continuance or the program rested entirely with Congress.
 MT. Roosevelt pointed out that the planning board has listed' II Congress wants to consider the problem, about $7,O00, ,OO0, 900 worth of public works projects which could be undertaken as a guard against a serious unemployment problem after the war. :, ,..
 It is necessary, he said. to plan such projects far in advance 1T con strdction is to be started any tune soon after the authorizing legisia- ton is adopted.
 About sl.OOO 100000 of the pro- posed postwar public works pro!- ects have been engineered and their specifications competed, the prea. dent said. He added, however. Una! si GOO ,OOO, 900 in public works would not employ very many people:
 The president did not discuss other aspects of the planning boards many recommendations on post war economies and social security
 MT. Roosevelt was told that when members of the planning board ls,s his office after a conference wlVn him yesterday they said postwar nlanning would continue regardless of whether Congress provides fuidi for the board. The Senate appro' priations committee and the House already have rejected funds for tn' board.
 The president said he though there had been some nlisunder' standing of the remarks Of the tws members the impression they had intended to give was that con- tinued planning is necessary. but thu burden of responsibility for 1t rests entirely with Congress.

The 20 per cent withholding tax approved by the committee earlier this week would start July even If the taxpayer chose to pay up his 1942 and l943 liabilities in full. The withholding tax would be credited against 1944 taxes. Thus, in order to earn the three per cent discount on 1943 taxes, a taxpayer would be compelled to pay about 2 1-2 years taxes in one year. Observers doubted many people would do this.
 In 1914 and subsequent years, the rate of discount would be scaled from four per cent for taxpayers who pay currently on March IS, to three per cent for those who pay June 15, two per cent for those who pay Sept. IS and one per cent for those paying Dec. IS.
 Because the plan cannot be made effective before June IS, l943, how- ever, the most any taxpayer could gain this year by paying his esti- mated current taxes would be three per cent.
 The committee acted only an hour after President Roosevelt said that adoption of the Ruml pay-as-you-go tax plan would mean that the gov- ernment would collect less revenue this year than 1t did last year. The House committee has rejected that plan but Republicans have decided to make a strong floor fight for 1t. They are expected to have some Democratic support.
 Committee Chairman Robert L. Doughton, D., N. O., explained that under the new discount plan, the taxpayer would estimate his own l943 income If ,.e chose to pay up and earn the discount. The discount would be computed as three percent of the amount of taxes estimated to be due.
 The committee also approved to- day a plan whereby corporations have an additional five months to file claims for relief under the 871s per cent excess profits tax.
 Under present law-which recog- nizes the existence of hardships in the method of computing the excess profits levies-corporations are per- mitted until April 2l to file requests for special adjustments. A resolution adopted by the committee today would set this headline ahead to September l5.

 Fighting French headquarters said Frenchmen were flocking by the hundreds each day to join the guerrilla army. Long-hidden stores of arms, grenades and demolition charges were being dug up for use against the Germans.
 Reports from the French frontier said the Nazis had tsarted Q whole sale search for hidden arms. Mean while they continued their roundup of workers, with dozens of train laods being dispatched to Germany.
 Upwards of 600 German troops have been killed in France in less than Q week in train wreckS, street fighting and terrorist attacks touch- ed of by Vichy.Nazi attempts to round up 100000 Frenchmen for slave labor in Germany.
 The Vichy radio itself announced that French police were carrying out a large-scale roundup of "so- called terroristS" in southeastern France. One police inspector was wounded in attempting to make an arrest, the broadcast said.
 From Madrid came a report that hundreds of persons had been seized in Paris alone in connection with the attempt Tuesday to assassinate Marcel Deat. arch-collaborationist and close associate of Pierre Laval.
 Both men and women were caught in the police net and all were being held until they could prove their whereabouts at the time of the attempt, the dispatch said.

SAYSWOMEN'S
 CLOTHING TOO
 LIGHT FOR COLD

Ithaca, N. T., March i2 CUP)-- In an analysis of heating problems, Prof. Charles o. Mackey, air-con- aitloning expert of Cornell Univer- slty's college of Engineering, said tho double standard" in clothing has been responsible for much of the discomfort felt by women be- cause of the fuel oil rationing this year.
 Tt has been determined" Mack ey declared, 'that women wearing the same weight of clothing as men experience about the same feeling Of warmth in c given environment. The double standard of comfort, perpetual headache to air-condi- tioning engineers, Is due entirely to the double standard of clothing weight"
 Needs Depend On Age
 Actual differences in heat need- ed by human beings are more de- pendent, he said, on age and vital- ity. Mackey recommends tenn perature of not less than 70 de- grees Fahrenheit for children un- der {. but cooler temperatures for normal children over 1, he says, need Q cooler, not warmer, envi- ronment than adults. For older people, particularly those of lower vitality, he recommends temper ature not less than 70 degrees and possibly not less than 74 degrees.
 Tn some ways" Mackey stated, ''lt is quite surprising that the de- gree-day method works at all" He said that the OPA formula for de- termining the percentage cut of fuel oil for residences includes no allowance for the direct effects of solar radiation. Heat losses caused by infiltration of cold aid on the windward side. loss of hot air on the leeward side, influenced by wind velocity, and losses of heat from the house to the ground, are not provided for.
 Discussing heat saving methods, Mackey advocated an economy set- ting of the thermostat. He said If in the past the day setting has been 70 degrees for 16 hours and the night setting 60 degrees for 8 hours, an economy schedule of day setting of 65 degrees for IA hours and . night setting of S5 degrees for 10 hours might be expected to save about iS per cent Of the fuel supply from Oct. ] to May l in Q normal season."
 Lower Heat in Absences
 Another suggestion for additional savings Is to reduce the thermostat setting to 6S or even 50 degrees If all members of Q household are to be gone for appreciable lengths of eime.
 Indoor temperatures also should Ne regulated in relation to outdoor temperature, Mackey said, because -'the rate of heat loss from the hu- man body is affected by the tenn. perataire of the solid surfaces with. in the rom as well as by the air lteEnpeTatIre. AS the temperature of tho outdoor air drops, the tempera- &ure ef the inside surfaces of exter- for walls and windows also drop" f5e recommends that indoor temper atllres be increased about 1 degree for each 3S degrees drop in outside air, and vice versa.
 Mackey also recommends shut. ting oil heat in unoccupied rooms. if the door os an unoccupied room ls kept closed. the rate of heat loss from this room may cut by 30 to co per cent

BANKHEAD BILL
 MAY BE APPROVED
Would Allow Farmers to Receive Military
 Deferment

r Washington, March 12.-(UP)- The senate appeared ready today to approve the Bankhead bill to defer farmers from military service.
 One administration senator ad- mitted that We have shot our bolt and can't stop passage of this thing now"
 Sen. John H. Bankhead, D., Ala, and his followers were confident after their 49 to 32 defeat of the OMahoney substitute. which was tantamount to repudiating the agri- culture departments power to pro- hibit deferments of farmers fail- ing to meet fixed production goals
 Still pending are two important amendments-the proposal by Sen. Burton D. Wheeler, D., Mont. to include deferments for all fathers and the plan by Sen. Claude Pepper D., Fla, to establish an inter-de- partmental committee to work out a uniform, overall manpower policy Neither appeared to have much sup port.
 In smashing the substitute offered by Sen. Joseph c. O'Mahoney, D., Wyo. the senate rode roughsl,od over the protests of Secretary oi Agriculture Claude R. Wickard, Brig Gen. Lewis B. Hershey. head of the selective service bureau and Under. secretary of War Robert P. Patter. son.
 Bankhead's bill, as 1t now stands would empower selective servicG boards to use their discretion ir deciding which farmers contribut, enough to the food supply of tn. United Nations to warrant defer. ment. OMahoney's would have re- quired farmers to meet production goals fixed by the agriculture de. pertinent.
