Total production of munitions
in February was below require
ments of the armed forces, War
Production Board Chairman
Donald M. Nelson disclosed to-
day, declaring that manpower
shortages limited the output Of
many important war items.
While the output OF all war goods
last month totaled about the same
in January, the aircraft industry
supplied bright spot in the picture
with a production gain of 4 per cent.
Heavy and medium bombers fea-
tured this increase, with four-engine
bombers setting a record. Mr.. Mel
son said aircraft accounted for 80
per cent of the months munitions
production, emphasizing the grow
ing Importance of air power in the
war effort.
BY major categories, February
production showed the following
changes from January:
Aircraft, including air frames, en-
gines, propellers, spare parts and
equipment-up per cent; all types
Of ships, including maintenance and
repair-down per cent: guns and
fire control-down per cent; am
mlnition-up 9 per cent; combat
and motor vehicles-down 10 per
cent: communication and electronic

That day, when she opened the
drawer where we usually kept the
bread, there it was, bullying and red,
with a card saying, Merry Christ
mas, Miss Mac!" She picked it up
and turned slowly to face us, the
blood rushing for the roots of her
hair. She opened her mouth just
once, but nothing came out. Then
she ran from the room.
But when she came back, her
hand was especially gentle as she
took our pulses and tucked in the
sheets.
That was about three months ago.
Day before yesterday, the Germans
raided Naples, and bombs fell on
the hospital. !
So this afternoon, those of us who
could get there stood with our hats
off and thought about Miss Mac.
Her. coffin looked incredibly small
as they lowered it into the ground
At the end, all the officers of the
hospital stood one by one before her
grave and saluted. You couldn't help
thinking how that would have made
her blush.

rest Of us, which was only natural,
because she had taken care of him

atmosphere of the place was that of
a club and our chief business was
teasing Miss Mac.
We never called her by her real
name, but we had plenty of other
names for her-"Spitfire," and "the
Young Witch" and Pistol Packin'
Mamma" sometimes we called her
Beautiful which made her blush
quickest of all.
That was remarkable thing
about Miss Mac-she blushed faster
and more violently than any woman
we ever saw It became a game
with us. Somebody would compli-
ment her on her hair-do, or ask her
If she had a date that night, or
refer to her as "the Deans grip
and Immediately her skin would
glow, like cloud with the sun rising
behind it.
Her worst days were those on
which the colonel inspected the
wards. She could not believe that
Wally could really want to smoke
a cigar just at the crucial moment.
She would rush about opening win
dows, getting the smoke out of the
room And no matter how often it
happened, 1t always shocked her
deeply to find the drawer of our

and other bits of food that we had
saved from our meals.
On Christmas eve, somebody got
hold Of a bottle of brandy. We
made milk punch in a hospital
bucket, and lured her in for a party
Liquor and hospitals are bad COM
bination; she didn't approve of
what we had done. We reminded
her it was Christmas eve, and she
finally consented to have just one
small taste. I shall never forget
the stricken look on her face when
her captain, the medical officer
walked into the room while the cup
was at her lips. Being a man of
the world, he understood Ameri-
cans, and it turned into a good
party. They both stayed to the end
One of the boys had received a
Christmas stocking from home, and
on Christmas Day we turned it into
a present for Miss Mac. We put in
some cigarettes and candy, a cake
of toilet soap, and little jar of
cleansing cream which somebody
had been carrying around. Wally
put in one of his cigars, and we
filled up the rest with oranges and
nuts.

hadn't seen her for a couple of
months, but the days when she took
care Of us in ward 4, D-East, in a
British general hospital in Naples
seemed very close this afternoon.
A pale, slender English girl with
dark hair and eyes, she was very
conscious of the two pips on her
shoulder which meant that she was
a nurse and a lieutenant in the Brit

ish call their nurses sister" but 1t is
not term of familiarity. Miss Mac
liked discipline and order. That was
why she had such a hard time with
ward 4, where the American Field
Service volunteer ambulance drivers
stayed when they were sick. We were
unruly, untidy and sometimes little
impolite, which she couldn't under

Hull Declares Dewey
Is 100 Pct. Wrong in
Censorship Charges
Denies Department, Hos
Requested London to Cut
Political News Stories
BY the Associated Press.

Secretary of State Hull said
today Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
was 100 per cent wrong in the
accuracy of his statement" made
in a New York speech last Friday
that the State Department had
requested British censors to
suppress political news in dis
patches for American newspa-
pers.
Mr., Hull was asked to comment
on Gov. Dewey's statement before
the Press Photographers Associa-
ton that when we find the State
Department requesting the British
censor to suppress political news
sent to American papers by Ameri-
can correspondents abroad it begins
to amount to deliberate and dan
gerous suppression of news at home. -
Secretary Hull replied:
Gov. Dewey is 100 per cent wrong
in the accuracy of his statement.
All my life have not only talked
HSooe a AACC " nave lOuSI1C
for it.
When these rumors of political
censorship in England started in
November, 1912, wrote Byron Price
and cabled Ambassador Winant to
tell Mr.. Eden my conviction that
Fundamentally the long-range in
terest of international friendship
are best served by permitting the
people of any country to know what
people in friendly countries are
thinking and saying about them,
however unpleasant some of those
opinions may be-
Both Mr.. Price and Mr.. Eden ex-
pressed full agreement.
These rumors cropped up again
while was in Florida last month
and Mr. Stettinius made unequivo-
cably clear that this is still our
policy. His statement was published
widely at the time.
Il was glad to see a press dis
patch from London yesterday stat
ing that the British government fully
understands and shares our opposi-
ton to political censorship and our
conviction that plain speaking is
more healthful than suppression"

British Cabinet Shift
Reported Planned
Eden Reported Dissatisfied
Over Churchill Powers
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, Mar. 27.-Rising crit
icism of the Churchill government
was coupled with reports today that
the Prime Minister is planning to
reshuffle his cabinet.
The latest reports said Anthony
Eden might leave the Foreign Office
and that Lord Beaverbrook might
be shifted to some post other than
his present one of lord privy seal.
Mr.. Eden, these reports said. is
dissatisfied because foreign policy
making has been taken over largely
by Mr.. Churchill. Should he re-
tire, his most likely successor, it
was believed, would be Lord Gran
borne, Dominions secretary and
leader in the House of Lords.
An answer to criticisms of his
government at home occupied a
large section of yesterdays speech
OF the Prime Minister, who usually
scorns to notice his critics.
Defending the coalition govern
ment, Mr.. Churchill said 1t had
brought the British Isles and the
British Commonwealth and empire
out of the jaws Of death, back from
the mouth of hell"

Some Cuts Were Scheduled
Production schedules called for a
reduction of manufacture in several
of the munitions categories, notably
small arms and certain types OF
ships.
Throughout February manpower
still remained a limiting factor in
the output of many munitions items
Mr.. Nelson said, especially such
critical components as bearings
castings and fractional horsepower
motors.
ut cannot be emphasized toe
strongly that manpower will become
a more and more critical problem
in munitions production during the
months ahead, because the Nation
faces the problem of maintaining
an overall munitions output slightly

OF, intensified manpower drains in
the leverage brackets to meet the
needs of the armed forces"

Mr.. Nelson said programs most
likely to be affected by manpower
shortages are those like radar, air
craft, 100-octane gasoline and syn

rely on many young engineers, tech
nicians and skilled workers with
very special training.

Two Meat Dealers Lose
Appeal From Conviction
For Overchorees
BY the Associated Press.

Ply the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court today held
constitutional the price fixing
provisions of the Emergency
Price Control Act and the OPA's
rent-control program.
In the ce-fixing case, Chief JUS
tice Stone wrote the 6-3 opinion on
appeals by two Boston meat dealers
Rottenberg and Albert
Yakus - from their conviction on
charges of selling wholesale cuts of
beef at prices in excess of the OPA
maximum.
They were sentenced to six
months imprisonment and fined
81 900 each by the Federal District
Court at Boston.
Justice Roberts read the majority
opinion in the absence of Chief Jus
tice Stcne. Justices Roberts, Rut-
ledge and Murphy dissented.
Justice Douglas delivered an 81
decision in the rent control case
revolving about Mrs. Kate C. Will

Roberts wrote a dissenting opinion.
Bowles Sought Injunction.
Chester Bowles, OPA admin
istrator, sought in the Federal Dis
trict Court at Macon to restrain
Mrs. Willingham from prosecuting
State court proceedings seeking to
enjoin the issuance of an order
fixing rent ceiling for her property.
The District Court held the legis-
lation was an unconstitutional dele
CATION of legislative power. The
OPA appealed that decision directly
to the Supreme Court.
The majority opinion stated that
there was no grant of unbridled
administrative discretion" as Mrs.
Willingham argued
Congress has not told the admin
istrator to fix rents whenever and

stated.
Standard Supplied by Congress.
Congress has directed that maxi
mum rents be fixed in those areas
where defense activities have re-
suited or threaten to result in in
creased rentals inconsistent with the
purpose of the act.
And it has supplied the standard
and the base period to guide the
administrator in determining what
the maximum rentals should be in
given area. The criteria to guide
the administrator are certainly not
more vague than the standards gov

Secretary of Agriculture of

Draft Official Expects
Strain on Manpower
In Many Industries
Men 26 to 70 Expected
To Bear Brunt of
Later Inductions
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

Locally needed activities, such
as laundries and food and fuel
distribution, and the IS war-sup-
porting activities recognized ma
tionally will be hit hard by the
draft in the coming months, a
high selective service official
predicted today.
He pointed out that with war pro-
duction facing cuts because Of the
tough deferments policy the civil
ian economy is bound to suffer even
more
Draft boards, anxious to defer
fathers, have dropped many OF
them into IA as necessary in civil
ian activity, the draft spokesman
declared OF the 100000 fathers
now holding occupational defer
ments, nearly 100000 are classed
in IA.
Men Over 26 Face Review.
In his group are plumbers, bus
drivers, school teachers, laundry
supervisors, Government officials,
repairmen, police and firemen and
scores Of others who make their
contribution to the civilian economy
rather than to direct war produc-
ton.
An overall review of occupational
deferments of men over 26 is to be
made as soon as the younger men
have either been drafted or deferred
as a result of national action. Draft
boards, however, are expected to
tighten up as the deferments of
fathers expire and come up for
renewal.
Since draft boards started CLASH
lying fathers out of the now aban-
doned ga last October, many of
the deferments are coming up for
renewal now.
The draft spokesman also pre-
dicted that, with the pattern of
supplying military manpower by
age groups now clearly defined, oc-
exceptionally deferred men in the
rs to % age group will be the next
to bear the brunt of filling calls.
Squeeze Due in Two Months.
The squeeze probably will come
IN about two months when draft
boards will reach the bottom of their
rapidly dwindling supply of fathers
without claims to occupational de-
ferments and will have to start
combing their lists of IA and 2-B
men again just as was ordered for
men under 26.
The next age jump, from % to 30
years, Is expected by summer
Draft boards, it was predicted, will
continue to be liberal in granting
occupational deferments to fathers
over 80, but those under 30 will have
to pass much the same tests for oc-
cupational deferments as men In
the younger age brackets.
The weight of the coming ar
rangement will fall heaviest on
fathers, it was said, since draft
boards have been working under in
structions to be more generous with
them than with nonfathers.
1t was pointed out, however, that
men over 80 will still be accepted
for the armed forces as they are
now, but that the pressure will be
on occupationally deferred fathers
over 80 in the degree 1t is heavier
on men under 80.
Boards Ordered to Tighten Up.
District Selective Service head
quarters already has indicated the
way the draft is going by instructine
draft boards to tighten up on occu-
pational deferments.

pational deferments since October.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS,
Naples, Mar. 27.-The Allied as
sault on Casino has changed
into an artillery duel in which a
superior mass of Allied guns is
seeking to knock out the trouble
some German positions remain
ing in the towns southwest cor
ner.
An announcement today said Al
lied artillery had begun a systematic
campaign to destroy both the Con-
tinental Hotel and the Hotel des
Roses which the Germans have con-
verified into fortresses.
A large explosion occurred when
artillery engaged a cluster of Ger
man x-barrelled mortars, possibly
indicating an ammunition dump
was hit. The only other ground &C
tivity at Casino was by patrols.
Nazi Raiding Parties Repulsed.
The center of infantry shifted to
the Anzio beachhead where Allied
forces drove back two small raiding
parties which probed the center of
the line. Losses were inflicted on
the enemy. German guns shelled
the left flank of the beachhead line.
In the air, American and British
heavy, medium and fighter bomb
ers attacked scattered targets in
Northern Italy yesterday, including
Fiume, Manage airdrome so miles
northeast of Venice, and the rail
yards of Rimini and Vicenga. Seven
enemy planes were shot down and
five Allied planes are missing.
At Casino, at the same time Al
lied guns turned on the Continent
tai Hotel, which the Germans have
made unbristling thorn-in the
side for Allied troops, and the Hotel
des Roses in the same general area
at the apex of Highway 6, the Ger
mans trained their artillery on
Castle Hill, Allied held strong point
west of the town which has been
extremely troublesome to the enemy.
The inactivity of ground troops
made 1t plain that the third Allied
attack to drive the Germans from

Rome, had been unsuccessful.
