DRAFT:
Eye 4-Fs

To fill up the industrial and agri-
cultural ranks left vacant by the
drafting of all men except key work
ers under 26, the government called
for the induction of all ATS not en-
gagged in essential occupations and
a congressional committee moved
to shape special legislation for such
program.
At the same time, it was revealed
Selective Service was scrapping its
unit system of deferring agricultural
workers, only giving consideration
to mans regular employment on
farm and the problem of replacing
him.
Under the governments proposal,
4-Fs doing nonessential work would
be enlisted as reserves and directed
to essential occupations at regular
civilian pay, or they would be en-
rolled in labor battalions for en-
ployment at army pay if they re-
fused to accept the assignments.
Of the nations 100000 ATS it was
estimated that about 100000 were
engaged in non-essential work.

RATIONING:
Announce Changes

More gas, freer use of fuel oil and
food coupons and ration changes in
vegetables, fruits, meats and oils
were announced by OPA.
To maintain the distribution bust
ness, it was announced drivers hold
ing "B" cards will be allowed an
additional 100 miles a month, while
expiration dates for fuel oil coupons
will be eliminated before the fall
season of heavy consumption gets
underway.
Because many shoppers cashed in
their red and blue food coupons for
tokens at expiration dates, OPA took
off all time limits on the stamps.
While all frozen fruits and vege-
tables were taken off rationing, beef
flank meat, pork liver, lamb and
mutton hearts, liver, sweetbreads
and tongue, beef tongue, cooked and
barbecued pork spareribs and pork
tongue were cut l point. Shortening,
salad and cooking oil were slashed
l point. Points on canned carrots
and tomato juice also were reduced.

SURPLUS GOODS:
Consult Business

To prevent disruption of ordi.
nary business channels, U. S. agen-
cies entrusted with the disposal of
surplus war goods for civilian use
have been instructed to confer with
the War Production boards $50 in
dustry advisory committees on dis
tribution of material through estab-
ished outlets.
Although most members of the
industry advisory committees are
manufacturers, some wholesalers
and retailers have been included in
the groups, and it will be their task
to help determine normal outlets for
certain goods, the amount of ma
terial to be released, and whether
distributors should bid for the mer-
chandise, negotiate for its purchase
or buy it at auction.
While the new procedure was an
nounced, Rep. Wright Patman (Tex-
as) pressed for enactment of a bill
under which retailers would be given
equal voice in the disposal of surplus
war goods along with the bigger
manufacturers and wholesalers.

GERMANY:
Production Efficiency

Striving to stretch their human
and material resources to maxi
mum, Germany's production cars
have reached into industrial and do
nestle activity alike.
In industry, the Nazis have spared
men and metal by reducing locomo-
tive models from 119 to 13, and they
have economical on shipping space
by extensive dehydration of foods.
More efficient methods repeatedly
increased steel, copper and alumni
mum output while decreasing man
hours.
To keep working women from per-
forming house tasks at home, the
Nazis have organized groups to
mend their stockings and attend to
other domestic functions. Persons
from IS to 10 have been enlisted to
assist service men at railway de-
pots.
