no one company will beat the
others into the big postwar mar
ket.
War Production Board Chairman
Nelson, who will conduct the plan
ming session of 10 top-flight execu-
tives, has said this is physical
impossibility," because some COM
panies are deeper in war work
than others and some contracts
will be cancelled ahead of others.
Within the industry, the split is
between the big firms and the
smaller ones. The larger COM
panies want unrestricted produc-
ton from the start, according to
reports from Detroit. The smaller
companies believe WPB should
regulate production in the early
months SO that each producer
makes about the proportion of the
total output as he made before
the whole industry went to war
26 months ago.

must be found to relieve restrictions
which are often tlnWarranted by the

Explains Changes.
At the outset, Commissioner John
Russell Young explained that the
proposed changes in the building
and electrical codes had four major
objectives:
FIRST, Qualification OF the exist
ing regulations; second. addition oi
requirements not now in the build
ing or electrical codes which are
deemed necessary for safety, most
Of which conform with the recon-
mendations Of the National Board
Of Fire Underwriters and National
Fire Protection Association; third
inclusion within operation OF the
regulations Of certain uses not now
included, and, fourth, transfer from
the electrical code to the building
code of certain provisions relating
to emergency lighting, alarm bells
and the like"
Among others who testified were

Fiijjiian Awarded w
For Saving Comrades
BY the Associated Pres.

By the Associated Press.
SOMEWHERE IN THE SOUTH
WEST PACIFIC Delayed The
Victoria Cross, Britain's highest war
decoration, has been awarded post
humously to Corpl. Sefanaia Sukan-
aivalu, a Fiji Islander who offered
his body to Japanese machine gun
bullets to save his comrades.
Sukanaivalu, member OF a Fijian
battalion in the fighting on Bou-
gainville Island in the Solomons last
spring under American command
Is thought to be the first British
colonial fighting man to receive the
VIC in this war.
With the American Army engineers
and artillery support, the Fiji bat
talon went ashore June % in the
Mawaraka area and as it started in
land was ambushed by a Japanese
battalion.
Sukanaivalu rescued two wound
ed men and then was hit. He was
unable to move. Several attempts
to bring him out resulted in more
casualties. He called to his COM
rades that further sallies to rescue
him would be disasterous for them.
But apparently realizing his friends
would never leave him to die, Sukan-
aivalu raised himself from the
ground to allow the japanese bull
lets to riddle his body.

PIX Cigarette Customers
Allowed 7 Packs a Day

Post exchanges and ship stores OF
service hospitals and other military
establishments in the Washington
area are selling only two packs OF
cigarettes to a customer per day
providing they are in uniform. AT
Boiling Field and Fort Myer, civilian
employees of the posts with proper
credentials may buy one pack.
All PXs and ship stores, like
civilian establishments, are on a
quota basis. but in most cases they
report supplies sufficient to meet
demand.
The officer in charge of the ex-
change at Fort Myer, however, has
only a day and a half supply in
stock.
Walter Reed Hospital appears to
be the only establishment where a
real cigarette pinch is being felt.
Servicemen are being limited to one
pack per sale, and sales to civilians
were halted two weeks ago.
With four PXs in operation at
Boiling Field, it is possible for a
serviceman to stock up with eight
packs at time. An officer there
admitted the possibility of a little
boarding.
An officer with the military dis
trict of Washington said some serv-
icemen were returning to lines on
the same day, apparently stocking
up for their friends" He said there
was nothing the authorities could
| do about it.

Government a preliminary injunc-
ton against Samuel Rubenstein, op-
orator Of the New York X g. r
Bakery, 300 block of Fourth street
NV, enjoining him temporarily
from manufacturing bakery prod
ucts under alleged insanitary con-
ditions.
At the same time, Justice
ODonoghue denied a defense mo-
ton to dismiss the Government suit
for an injunction against Mr.. Ru-
benstein. The motion, which was
argued several days ago, was based
on the contention that the Federal
Drug and Cosmetic Act, under which
the Government brought suit last

Complicated Rules
Governing Security
Companies Assai|ed

J. Clifford Folger, Washington
fnancier who recently was re.
elected president of the Investment
Bankers Association OF America, de.
clared in an address in New Yorl
last night that investment COM
panies issuing securities should be
relieved of some Of the complexities
OF registration and detailed reports
now required by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
This country has the most COM
plicated rules for financing on the
face Of the globe, he asserted In a
talk before the New School for So
cial Research. Present prospectuses
on new issues greatly need stream
lining, Mr.. Folger said, adding that
customers won't even start to wade
through 100 pages of printed ma
terial assembled to meet SEC re-
quirements. Investment bankers
need SEC help on more practical
registration requirements, he said.
In the days ahead, investment
bankers will need to press the sale
OF securities just as the Government
pushes the sale of War Bonds, and
dealers should not be made tech
nically liable for this selling activ-
ity. he asserted.
Mr.. Folger urged that a liaison
committee be established to meet
regularly with the SEC, such as the
Treasury, Federal Reserve and De-
partment OF Commerce now have in
their respective fields.
Speaking on Ten Years of the
SEC Under the Securities Act of
1885," the investment banker said
the Government agency always has
had great popular appeal with the
public. Make no mistake, it is here
to stay" he concluded.

Dispute Arises Over First Town
Named for George Washington

statements when Representative
Stearns. Republican, of New Hamp-
shire contested Georgia's claims.
THE fact is that as early as De-
cember 13. 1776, the General Court
of the State of New Hampshire
granted incorporation to a settle
ment previously known as Camden
under the name of Washington, I"
Mr.. Stearns declared in remarks
published in the Record.
Il realize that my colleague (Mr.
Brown had no occasion to check on
this, and know he will forgive me
if I correct the Record in this re-
gard" the New Englander asserted.
But scarcely was this new claim
entered than Representative Bon
ner, Democrat, of North Carolina
took up the cudgel for his State.
80 as to keep the record straight,
I desire to call to the attention of
the House the fact that Washing
ton, N, c., was incorporated prior to
October l, 1776," he declared.
AS evidence of his claim, Mr..
Bonner submitted an article from
the State magazine, published at
Raleigh, N. c., an article from the
George Washington Bicentennial
clip sheet, and data from the Ii
brary of Congress.
The State magazine article stated
the evidence was proof that will
stand up in any court, including a
Georgia court"
