Penalty Faces Buyers
OF Stolen Gas Coupons

In an attempt to clamp down on
the sale of counterfeit and stolen
gasoline coupons, Robert K. Thomp-
son, District OPA director, has an
nounced that motorists found know
ingly purchasing these coupons face
criminal prosecution.
Maximum penalty is q 5000 fine
and year in Jail, or both. If the
OPA does not prosecute, it has the
power to suspend the individuals s
privileges for the duration If the
charges are proved.
Gas dealers here have supplied
the names of customers from whom
they have unwittingly accepted spu-
rious coupons, Mr.. Thompson said,
Names of patrons Of 10 District fill
ing stations cited for black market
operations in the sale of gasoline
also are known, he declared.
Although gas station operators are
guilty, in some instances. of buying
counterfeit coupons in bulk to cover
up inventory shortages arising from
sales to stampless motorists, many
motorists are guilty of victimizing
the dealers by passing the spurious
coupons, Mr.. Thompson said.
The OPA recently started an edu-
cational campaign to enable the
public to differentiate between valid
and bogus coupons in an effort to
protect both motorists and dealers.

State Probes 1,300-Acre
Fire in Anne Arundel
BY the Associated Press.

q
BALTIMORE, April IL. State
Forester Joseph F. Kaylor said yes
terday that an investigation had
been started into the origin Of sew
eral Anne Arundel County forest
and brush fires Monday which de-
stroyed at least four houses and
burned over more than / 800 acres.
Mr.. Kaylor told the State Com
mission OF Forests and Parks that
the department had been handi-
capped by lack of cooperation
from local officials in some coun-
ties.
He said Mondays blaze started
late in the morning in what was an
obvious violation of the depart
ment's regulation governing burn
ing of brush.
This regulation, covering spring
and autumn months, prohibits burn
ing of brush except between S pm
and l am, and then only in cleared
areas. Sufficient manpower must
be had on hand to control fires.
Mr.. Kaylor said Montgomery
County officials had provided the
department with the type of CO.
operation needed. The commission
ers, he said, issued a statement say
ing they would back the State de-
partment and subsequently one per-
son was fined for allowing q brush
fire to get out of control.

boards can act.
Figures cited above are based on
orders issued yesterday by selective
service and estimates made at the
meeting of the Inter-Agency Indus
trial Deferment Committee. The
committee met to list the plants
and, as nearly as possible, the actual
men for whom deferment requests
will be made, but adjourned when
specific data on some must" pro-
grams still was not available.
There appeared some likelihood
that the figures may be pared some
when the committee meets again.
probably early next week, but it
was not thought totals would be
changed appreciably.
PAW Seeks 2,10o.
Included In the deferments to be
sought were some 2,10O requests
made by the Petroleum Admins
tration for War for workers in the
aviation gasoline industry, and 300
requests made by the ONCE of Rub
Der Director for the synthetic rub
Der manufacturing program and the
rubber products industry.
Although the interagency COM
mittee had turned down the Young
coal miners, Gen. Hershey acted
faVorably on a special request for
consideration of the miners made
oy Chairman Paul v. McNutt of the
War Manpower Commission. The
draft director approved deferment
for miners in the % to 26 age group
With three years of experience in
mines in six States and sections of
two others.
Gen. Hershey instructed State
selective service directors, however
that deferments should not be for
longer than 80 days after May |.
He said that before August | "the
coal-mining activity will be reviewed
with the Solid Fuels Administra-
ton and further activity will be
based upon the results of that re-
view"
Coal Crisis Feared.
Solid Fuels Administrator Ickes
has sought indefinite deferment of
all miners with three years expert
ence in the % to 26 age group. He
estimated there are $4,000 miners
under 26, Of whom 1000 are under
% and must be drafted. He said the
three years experience clause would
reduce the number to be deferred
temporarily to 10000.
Fuel officials have warned that the
coal shortage next winter will be
greatly intensified if the miners are
drafted. Even If the 10000 young
miners are retained, the estimated
coal deficit for this year totals
81 100000 tons. Mining interests
place the probable deficit at a much
larger figure.
The deferments in the 1925 brack-
ct were approved for miners in
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Vir-
ginia, Alabama, Washington, Ten
nessee, Eastern Kentucky and South
ern Wyoming.

Civilian Manufacture
In Labor Crisis Areas
Is Frozen by WPB

The War Production Board has
reafiirmed its policy of holding ci-
william production to a minimum
pending the invasion of Western
Europe. freezing manufacture of
home-front goods in labor shortage
areas to levels of the last three
months.
The action affects civilian pro-
duction in the 1873 group and 2
labor shortage areas, which include
Washington, nearby Maryland and
Virginia. Similar action was taken
months ago for war production
when officials ordered that no new
war contracts were to be let in COM
munities of extreme manpower
shortages.
AT the same time, officials said
the program to produce 2,0OO, 900
electric irons this year had been cut
to 100000. 1t was specified at the
time the program was announced
that the irons were to be made only
II manufacture did not interfere
with war production. Only about
200, 900 can be made, it was said,
without competing with war pro-
grams for manpower.
In another action of more direct
military significance, but similarly
unannounced, the WPB raised
heavy artillery to top priority
status, along with invasion craft, in
response to military demand for
more big guns.
The directive covers cannon, am
munition and the big prime
movers" for 240-mm. howitzers, g.
inch howitzers, 8-inch guns and
l55-mm. guns. The order will run
concurrently with the special direc-
tive covering the landing vessel pro-
gram, which repeatedly is behind
schedule on two or three of the IA
types of invasion craft.

Cornerstone Is Placed
Al Cadet Nurse Home
By Surgeon General

The Governments program of
training student nurses has saved
the Nations hospital system from
possible collapse, DR.. Thomas W..
Parran, surgeon general of the
United States Public Health Service,
declared yesterday as he officiated
at the laying of the cornerstone of
the new cadet nurses building of
Children's Hospital.
DR.. Parran spoke at official cere-
monies attended by Miss Matte M.
Gibson, superintendent of the hos
pital; Miss Lucille Petry, director of
the United States Nurse Corps:
Charles D. Drayton, president of
the hospitals Board of Directors;
Mrs. w. Chaplin Huntington, presi-
dent of the hospitals Board of Lady
Visitors, and Mrs. Stanley r. Reed
and Mrs. R. M. Kaufman, mem
bers of the ladies board.
Also attending were a score or
more of the cadet nurses and mem
bers of the regular nursing staff.
DR.. Parran said the present pro-
gram OF training cadet nurses for
the armed forces, governmental and
civilian hospitals and health agen-
cies has helped alleviate the "des-
perate shortage" of nurses in
hospitals.
At the same time, DR.. Parran re-
vealed that sleeping facilities for
269 cadet nurses have been approved
for Georgetown, Garfield and Provi-
dence Hospitals.
Construction of the three-story
nurses building at Children's Hos
pital, with an additional story for
the orthopedic department, was be-
gun last week and the project is
scheduled for completion In July.
The building will provide quarters
for 66 nurses, who will receive a
three month course in pediatric

training, and relieve the over
crowded conditions at the hospital.
The project was financed by an
FWA grant of $4,000 and a $50,-
600 loan.
Construction of the new ortho-
pedic quarters will enable the hos
pital to convert the space now being
used for orthopedic work into
kitchens and dining rooms.
