Clothing Controls
To Protect Public

Public interest Will require that
War Production Board controls over
leather and cotton textile industries
be maintained after the fall of Ger
many to guard against possible dis
ruptive shortages in those fields, j
A. Krug, WPB chairman said He
said "These basic commodities are
in tight supply and will be pro-
tected through continuance of WPB
directive powers and ALLEGATION con-
trolls after controls in most other
fields have been abolished" said
Chairman Krug. However, even in
these industries the controls will be
removed as soon as production is
seen to be meeting minimum essen
tial civilian requirements" On the
basis Of current figures it would
take some time after the end of the
war in Europe to replace existing
shortages.

Did you ever stop to think how much money

the men are actually fighting or not, they must
be fed, housed, transported from one training
center or battle area to another, cared for in !
hundred and one different ways. That all costs
money and will continue to until the last man
demobilized is back IN civilian clothes.
In addition, millions Of dollars will be re-

the boys get started ia civilian life.
