Labor Must Be Available

There appears no likelihood that
the War ManpoWer Commission can
give the necessary approval which
it is required to give under the
plan unless the laborers available
are women or are skilled artisans
in a small plant and cannot be used
as laborers elsewhere. 1t can be
seen that there will be no great and

Important Restriction

More favorable consideration will
be given an application where idle,
excess and frozen rather than new
or critical materials are to be used.
Only if the production is for util-
ity item important for civilian re-
quirements will any preference
rating be assigned for purchase of
materials. An extremely important
restriction is that all applications
must be approved not only by the
War Production Board, but by the

The withdrawal occurred
near the hamlet OF Letto Palena,
some two miles northeast of he

The American air force based in

planes at Europe today in the
18th day Of the nonstop pre-in-

railroads and airdromes in
France, Belgium and Luxem-

A great fleet OF Flying Fort
reSSes and Liberators and their
escorting fighters struck 10
separate targets in the three
countries - seven airfields and
three railroad yards handling
German war freight, setting the
pace for series of widespread
blows. Judging from channel ac-
tivity, today may be the heaviest
day yet in the huge air cam
paign.
1t was the 18th straight day
OF heavy bomber operations and
the third time in as many days
that 1000 planes, including all
types, had been in operation.

Young Romeo
Gas Racketeer
Faces Inquiry
Juveniles Admit
Buying Stolen Stomps
at 10 Cents Each

OPA officials and the Prose
cutors today were studying the
case Of a 17-year- old Romeo
farm youth, who allegedly stole
1l3 tractor gasoline stamps
from his uncle, and proceeded to
sell them at 10 cents a stamp
TO at least six teen-age young
sters, who repeatedly used them
for joy-riding in family cars.
A criminal warrant charging
larceny from an automobile al
ready hangs over the head of
the defendant, William Abel, of
Powell road, south Of Romeo,
according to Assistant ProSecu-
tor Fred Van Fleteran. How
ever, this may be withdrawn il
OPA officials ask to arraign the
youth in Federal Court, Van
Fleteran said.
CONTINUE PROBE
OPA investigators today were
checking with Romeo State
Police and questioning both the
stamp-purchasing boys and the
one or more gas stations in
volved The gas dealers liabil-
ity depends largely on whether
they pumped the farm tractor
gas into private cars, or sold it in
portable cans, when the stolen
stamps were presented by boys.
Van Flcteran said.
The Stamp-selling racket was
disclosed after Daniel Frost, the
youth uncle, had informed Sgt.
Edgar Wclsch, of Romeo State
Police, that tractor gas stamps,
worth one gallon each, had been
taken from the glove compart-
mcnt of his car. WelSch order
ed )gas station attendants TO
watch for anyone passing such
stamps. Monday, a l6-year-old
boy drove into a Romeo station
and while the attendant was
busy asked if he could fill his
tank himself. knowing the boy
as customer, the attendant told
him to proceed. The boy put -
gallons in the tank. and later

The boy implicated Adcl as
