Congress tries pairing his word
age, he may ask OPA to ration
coal by coupon. That, he says,
would cost So, 100000 instead Of
the measly 5000 with which
Harold proposes to finance dis
tribution of his verbal pearls.
To which an an onymous
OPAer remarks that Mr.. Ickes'
excuse for rationing coal would
be the most novel one ever Of
fered to that agency.
Even in highly articulate
Washington, poohbah Ickes' gift
of CAB is outstanding. 1t is con-
coded that he can swing a wick
ed phrase, clause or epithet to
deadly effect. But nobody can
figure how even he would over
come a real coal shortage with
$4,000 worth of curmudgeon-
ry.
The fact is, in the opinion of
many who ought TO know, that
there isn't going to be any need
for rationing coal this winter.
and Mr.. Ickes' SFAW Is only
scare mongering when it talks
about a 20-million ton shortage
and the worst coal crisis in
American history.
DO WE NEED MORE
OR DON'T WE?

operators were told that they
should produce $40 million tons
of bituminous coal this year
Then the ante was raised to 626

men who must provide it.
Through June II output total
ed 297, $4,000 tons, which by
quick division appears to be al
the rate of Sd million tons 9
month. Projected through the
remainder of June, that produc.
ton rate would indicate a six
month output, in fat round fig
ures, of $50 million tons -
which is what the Bituminou:
Coal Institute estimates as the
answer. A..
The first six-months' pro
duction," says the institute
will apparently be about 32(
million tons, which is consider
ably over half of the industrial
coal needs forecast by tn.
SFAW-enough more to fulfil
the publicized needs for occu
pied Europe from American bi
luminous mines"
There is absolutely no reason
to suppose that the current pro
duction rate will not hole
throughout the year and yielt
$40 million tons Is million
above the SAWS quota for tn
industry.
This does not suggest tina
coupon rationing of coal is 60
ing to be necessary even if Hon
est Harold broadcasts only $40,
600 worth of verbiage instead o
the $275,O0O he has in mind.

Censored Votes
East Detroit Clerk
Makes Complaint

Standing by its determination
Thursday, that censored service
mems ballots shall be assumed
10 stand as unaltered, members
of the Macomb county Election
Commission today informed City
Clerk Stephen Henderson, OF
East Detroit, TO treat as proper
in the Nov. z elections all sucn
illegally stamped and opened
envelopes in which the ballots
were delivered.
AT the same time the Monitor
Leader was advised by Navy
censorship authorities in Wash
ington that instructions have
been issued throughout the Navy
that envelopes containing Off
cial ballots of Naval personnel
have the same status as official
correspondence and are not SUD-
ject to censorship. Consequently
inadvertent appearance Of CEN
sor's stamp does not mean that
ballot has been examined by a
censor appearance Of such
a stamp probably is the result
of some censor stamping en-
velope in the mistaken belief
that delivery of envelope cannot
be expedited unless it bears such
a stamp"
An inquiry addressed to the
Army censorship staff at the
same time as that sent to Navy
headquarters as yet, remains UNI
answered.
Henderson, who had previous
ly reported four apparent in
stances Of the censorship of Serv-
icemen's ballots, wrote a formal
letter of complaint to County
Clerk Guy l.. Brown today, cit
ing that another such instance
has been uncovered in his city.
Following is Henderson's let
ter TO the clerk of the Election
Commission:
will you kindly call the at
tention of the Election Commits
sion to the fact that the Service
mems War Ballots are being re-
turned this office censored by
Navy and Army censors. OF the
six ballots received today, one
was censored. l am just wonder
ing if some of these ballots were
changed.
This is a fragrant violation
of our Bill of Rights and | think
some action should be taken to
stop it at once.
Il don't know whether to hold
them until Election Day, Novem-
Der the 7th or return them TO
these boys to see if they have
been tempered with. Will the
Commission kindly advise me at

Here is what actually hap
pened:
On April %. the Roberts fam
lily purchased the house at III
Clinton street occupied by the
Rogers, who, in turn on June /,
bought a home at Ill Smith
street that was occupied by the
Peters family.
Rogers was unable TO find a
home TO move into while the
Peters looked about for a new
abode and, in the meantime the
Roberts were forced to vacate
their former home in Port HUI
ron.
The Roberts EARNED out"
their children, paying board and
room elsewhere while they wait
ed hopefully for Rogers to find
a solution to his own problem.
Rogers, as hopefully remained
at the Clinton street address
awaiting good fortune to visit
the Peters so that they could
move and permit him to occupy
the home they had bought on
Smith street.
Finally on Tuesday Rogers in
formed Roberts that he would
be welcome to move into two
rooms in the Clinton street
house while he, in turn, await
ed hoped-for developments con-
corning the Smith street occu-
pancy. They were to share the
home, Rogers said.
On Wednesday morning, how
ever, after one nights joint oc-
cupancy, Rogers was sufficient
ly impressed with the problems
of the larger Roberts family that
he voluntarily withdrew from
the residence, and scattered his
own family about while hoping
for the Peters to find an early
key to possession of a home he
understands they have procured
in Ferndale.
Throughout the involved pro-
ceedings a cordial relationship
has existed between all parties
concerned, Rogers said today;
thus setting up some sort of
record for human endurance and
patience.
