Shoes to Stay
on Ratiioniing

Washington. Feb. 10-INS-Civi
lian supply officials indicated to.
day that airplane stamp No. 2 for
footwear may be validated in May
with adult consumers likely to get
only one more pair Of shoes during
1914.
The WPB expert estimated that
the actual shoe ration allotment
this year will amount to "a pair
and a half, or pair and three
quarters, since airplane stamp
number one was valid during the
last two months OF 1943.
Efforts are being made, how.
ever, to maintain the ration allow
ance for children at a higher rate
plus hardship" certificates.
At the same time, mothers were
assured that a break in the log
jam on children's and infants foot
wear can be expected soon. Pro-
duction is on the upgrade and an
increase OF $50 thousand or one
million pairs is anticipated in
March.
officials asserted, however, that
the shortage OF children's shoes is
more apparent than real. There
are great quantities OF low.priced,
two dollar shoes available, but
these have gone begging since ra-
tioning began.
Consumers have passed up these
seryiceable items for fancier pro-
ducts, feeling they ought to use
their precious ration coupons for
higher-priced lines. Many produc-
ers OF low-cost footwear had to
close shop when their products
were ignored.
Price lines have been frozen"
to prevent manufacturers from
shifting to only high cost shoes.
However, WPB experts feel that
shoes have been ."overstabilized"
and plan to allow manufacturers OF
cheaper shoes to make $3.50
brand to boost output and stimulate
sales.
Infants footwear actually has
been very scarce due to an in
crease OF about is per cent in the
birth rate last year. Here, too.
however. increased production soon
will bring an easing OF the situa-
ton.
One civilian supply official des-
cribed the general shoe picture as
follows: adult footwear. comfort
able; children, improving; work
shoes. tight. A ration OF slight
ly under two --'~s annually should
not work hardship, he said.
