Morris Praises Naming
OF War Refuqee Board

President RooSevelt's action in
naming a War Refugee Board to
forestall further executions of Jews
and other subject peoples in Nazi-
dominated areas was praised today
in a statement by George M. Morris,
chairman of the Washington Emer-
gency Committee to Save the Jewish
People of Europe.
This step, the statement said, will
serve notice on the Axis satellite
nations to halt further deportation
of Jews to the death chambers of
Poland.
I'VE hope" Mr.. Morris said, that
the board will not lose sight of the
necessity of the earliest possible
action and will employ every neces-
sary measure to make it clear to the
Goddess Nazis and their satellites
that this Government and its people
are determined, as the President
pointed out, to forestall the plan of
the Nazis to exterminate the Jews.
I'VE welcome the appointment to
this board of such eminent Amer
leans as Secretaries Hull, Stimson
and Morgenthau, and we are happy
to place at their disposal the facil-
tiles of the Washington Emergency
Committee to Save the Jewish
People of Europe"

Children S Clothes,
Other Scarce Items
Due al Stores Soon
By JAMES " NEWTON

One of the home fronts most
serious wartime problems-critical
shortages OF children's. workmen' S
and lower-priced women's clothing
was reported by Government Of
f1cials to be near solution today.
officials predicted children's clothes
in sufficient quantities to meet de-
mands would begin to appear in
stores within so days. The War
Production Board recently set aside
a considerable quantity Of materials
for children's wear and the allotment
has been oversubscribed by textile
mills.
Agreements are about to be
reached with the mills for manu-.
facture of reasonably priced bed
sheets. work clothes and lower
priced women's wear, officials said.
Follow Directive.
All Of the clothes shortage prob
lens will be worked out within the
framework OF a directive recently
handed down by Fred M. Vinson
economic stabilization director. He
ruled that mills whose profit position
was unusually high on overall op-
Grafton should make low-priced
clothes at cost. In the case Of mills
whose overall profits were less than
twice the prewar average 2 per cent
could be added to cost OF the low
end products.
Mr.. Vinson also ruled, that in ad-
dition to some price concessions,
WPB's war powers should be en-
ployed to force mills to make the
cheaper clothes. Oficials said 1t ap-
peared that mandatory manufacture
would be unnecessary, although
WPB might issue such orders to
support the agreements with the
mills.
In normal times, it was said, low
priced clothes usually are produced
in volume at something less than
cost, with manufacturers making
their profits on higher cost lines.
For this reason, the new clothes
probably will sell for 10 per cent
more than in the past. They said
the important thing was that the
clothes would be available.
Cheaper Items Scarce.
Clothes manufacturers over the
past year have almost abandoned
production Of cheaper items for more
expensive wear on which their profit
is greater. There also has been con-
siderable over-flnishing of cloth,
permitting circumvention of OPA's
price ceilings and sales at higher
prices. Consumers who formerly
bought low-grade wear have been
forced to higher priced lines.
There has been an almost total
disappearance of children's clothes
from store shelves. particularly
warm winter wear. Overshoes in
small sizes are almost impossible to
obtain.
An impelling force in obtaining
agreements from clothes manufac-
turers to produce lower-priced wear
once more, officials said, are the de-
mands Of textile workers for wage
increases. The producers know, it
was said, that If they are granted
sizable price increases, the position
Of their workers will be materially
STRENGTHENED.
