Praise for Welcome Activity.

To the Editor of The Star:
1t was my privilege to accompany the
group of people who gathered at your
newspaper office lobby last Sunday to
visit the Library of Congress. Miss
Laura King, director of the program,
was very nice and helpful to the group,
and 1 wish to extend my sincere thanks
to your newspaper, Miss King and the
guide at the Library for the courtesies
shown us.
Such excursions as these bear fruitful
harvests. BY that I mean occasions of
such nature are helpful in bringing
people together and giving them oppor-
tunity Of becoming better acquainted
with each other and more closely bound
together as body of united Americans.

Questions Use of Army Planes.

To the Editor of The Star
In a well-hidden news item in The
Star for April 3 I notice that Claude
A. Watson, Prohibition party candidate
for President, questions the right of
Mrs. Roosevelt to use Army planes on
her jaunts to various parts of the world.
The point is one well taken, I think,
and one which should be given further
publicity.
I spent about year and a half
with the War Production Board in an
official capacity and thus was brought
into close contact with the Army Air
Corps. 1t frequently was necessary
Tor me to travel between Washington
and Dayton, Ohio Gas we'll as to other
points. Naturally, in order to save
time, I used air facilities as often as
possible. Many times when space on
commercial airlines was not available.
I tried to secure accommodations on
Army planes, but was informed, in no
uncertain terms, that unless I was en-
listed in the Air Corps, or civilian
employe of the Air Corps, I definitely
could not secure transportation in an
Army plane
Does Mrs. Roosevelt come under either
OF these classiflcations?

Difficulty Of
lnyasiion Seen

At the regular meeting OF the
Kiwanis Club wednesday noon.
Professor Mark Jefferson showed
interesting slides OF the Coast Of
France and in a fifteen minute talk
described many Of the difficulties
incurred in a landing operation.
J. Zweedyk, acting director of
the Michigan O.P.A., was the
speaker for the second part OF the
program and explained that O.P.A
affects all the people of the Unit
ed States as compared to other
agencies that affect only whole
salers and retailers or other spe-
cific groups.
The first problem after the es-
tablishment of the O.P.A. Mr..
Zweedyk said. was to change the
peoples normal attitude of buying.
Ninety per cent OF the population
were willing to conform without
question, he said. but 10 per cent
had various objections.
The O.P.A. is divided into three
sections, rationing, price control
and rent control. he continued.
Tire conservation was the first
problem to be met, as 80 per cent
Of the rubber supply was cut off
after Pearl Harbor. Sugar ration
ing was the second problem and
coffee the third. There will prob
ably be no new cars for a year and
half he predicted.
The rationing program with the
use OF points is flexible, he pointed
out.
There are nine regional offices
OF the O.P.A. in the United States
and Michigan comes under the dis
trict regional office at Cleveland.
There will soon be an independ.
ent ration board established in Yp.
slant that will no longer be un.
der the direction OF the Ann Arbor
office, the speaker asserted. Price
control, he said. costs the people
about 500 per capita.
Joseph Thompson asked that
anybody having golf clubs that
are not in use and who wish to do
nate them for the use OF the sol
diers may leave the clubs at the
Board Of Commerce. A specially
low price for playing privileges
has been arranged for service men
at Washtenaw Country Club.
