DISCUSSION HELD
ION VETERANS JOBS
Speakers Debate Various
Phases of Proposed Pro-
gram of Rehabilitation

Despite a somewhat debateable
issue between management repre-
sentatives and representatives Of
inthe state education rehabilitation
bureau as to whether or not prelim-
mary job education or immediate
employment is the more important
for the returning veteran, both
parties were in agreement that the
primary concern is the right job
for the right man." as these repre-
sentatiyes spoke at the postwar
personnel training course last night
in the Connecticut Light and
Power Company auditorium.
1t was the opinion OF J. Frank
Daley director OF training for the
War Manpower Commission that
the individual problem should first
be given consideration. This he
pointed out takes in many phases
such as the desire on the part OF
the individual to advance his know
ledge, need for physical rehabilita-
ton, upgrading OF a man and
others.
Robert Collins representing man.

NEW YORK, Sept. is. - Stocks

In todAy's market and the only cloud

lection, q little investment pur-

cline had gone q long way toward
discounting industrial Transition
pains which might accompany down.

pending more light on home politics
and foreign developments.
Steels, motors and rubbers were In

crafts then enjoyed q bulge, appar-
emily stimulated by suggestions
these had been oversold In view OF
the likelihood new commercial or
ders would cushion cancellation OF
Government business. Rails Joined
the trek after midday. Quotations
tapered for q while, but turned up-

Increased Alcohol
Supplies, Less Beer
Predicted by WpB
sy the Associated Pres

Additional beverage alcohol will
be produced soon, but the beer sup
ply will be smaller next year unless
malt production Is expanded.
approximately $4,000 proof
gallons Of beverage spirits were pro-
duced In August when distillers
were granted holiday from pro-
duction Of war essential industrial
alcohol, the Chemical Bureau OF
the War Production Board said
yesterday.
WPB reported that restrictions
on the Use Of corn In distilling may
be lifted by November II current
corn crop estimates are realized.
Corn is an essential ingredient Of
bourbon.
The War Food Administration
said after q meeting with members
Of the Brewery Industry Advisory
Committee that the estimated re-
quirement of about 81 900 900 BUSH
els OF malt needed for industrial
alcohol production in 1o45 probably
would limit beer production. About
19,600, 900 bushels were used in 1943,
VIA said.
Government stocks of 190-proof
alcohol amounted to So, ,10O, 900 GAL
Ions on September I, representing q
reduction Of q, ,8OO, 900 gallons from
the August ! inventory.
In regard to future alcohol re-
quirements, the committee agreed
with WPB ofhcials that present
controls on alcohol production and
consumption, and on molasses and
cane spirits imports should not be
revoked on the day of Germany's
surrender. Representatives of the
War Food Administration told the
committee that because of expected
tighter sugar supplies in 1945, 1t is
not possible now to schedule any
invert molasses production for next
year.
Problems concerning hop produc-
ton, the availability of malt, ship
ping containers, bottles and ma
terials for crowns were reviewed at
the meeting with the brewers ad-
visory group.
The VITA has notified malt pro-
ducers that it will recommend IA
vored treatment for priority appli-
cations filed with the WPB for the
purpose OF expanding production
facilities.

Trade Again Spurred
By Cool Weather,
Seasonal Demand
NJ the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Sept. l5.-Heavy
demand for seasonal merchandise
emphasized by cool weather in many
sections of the country, spurred re-
tail trade again this week, Dun &
Bradstreet said today in a review
of business.
Turnover continued brisk in ap-
parel lines and sale of household
goods and food were satisfactory,
the agency said. Retail prices have
changed slightly during the past
several weeks, indicating a prefer
ence for the higher priced merchan-
disc as sales continue above last
years level.
Activity in wholesale markets
this week stemmed from increased
attendance rather than from more
liberal ordering. Recorders of winter
and holiday merchandise featured
trading. Caution in placing initial
orders was noted"
