BY the Associated Press.
A proposal that the Government

all summer and have an adequate
supply ready for homes this winter
has been approved by the War Pro-

WPB Chairman Nelson has giver
the idea his Endorsement, the solic
fuels section of the Interior De
partment is for it and the plan now
Is before OPA' for final decision
Representative Calvin D. johnson
Republican, of Illinois disclosed.
The only question to be ironed
out with the OPA now" Mr.. John
son told a reporter, is the price
schedules under which the Defense
Supplies Corp. would make the
purchases"
Mr.. johnson said the plan per-
tanned primarily to soft coal
though it could include anthracite
How much coal would be stock
piled has not been determined,
The OPA is drawn into the plan
because Of the price ceilings now
held at the mines. A revised
schedule to account for loading and
unloading charges must be worked
out SO that the Defense Supplies
Corp would not sustain a loss on
the transactions, Mr.. johnson
pointed out.
The plan would serve a number
OF purposes he said. 1T would
make up for the lost man-hours of
the summer and would guarantee a
supply OF coal for the home con-
sumner in the cold weather"

Home Rule Revisions
To Include Proviso
For Ratification
Measure Being Prepared
Today for FinoI Action
By McCorrun Group

A revised draft of the Washington
home rule" bill, which will include
Ia provision for ratification by Dis
trict residents before the city coun-
cil-city manager plan becomes ef-
fective, if approved by Congress
was being prepared today for final
action by the McCarran Senate
District Subcommittee.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada consulted briefly yesterday
Afternoon with two other members
of the subcommittee, Senators
Walsh, Democrat, of New Jersey and
Burton, Republican. of Ohio, on
various proposed changes in the
measure.
Other Changes Discussed.
While no formal action was taken,
it was reported a number of changes
in the bill, as considered last winter
iat public hearings, were favorably
discussed. Action was deferred until
another meeting, which may be held
next week.
One of the new provisions is said
to be one for referendum vote be-
fore the proposed act becomes law.
Another tentative change is said
to be enlargement of the proposed
elected board of seven commission
|ers, or councilmen, to include two
members to be appointed by the
President, one of whom would be
designated to be president of the
.council.
Such change in the bill was re-
garded as a compromise between
the original plan for an elected
council of seven and the view OF
Senator Burton that there should be
appointed representation for the
Federal workers living here but re-
itaining voting rights in their home
States.
Residence Rule Considered.
1t was reported also that the three
subcommittee members considered
a rule that those qualified to vote
in the suggested election of a city
council would have to be bona fide'
Washington residents. The under
standing was that a person working
Tor living here, but voting or pay
ing taxes in his home State, would
not be considered a bona fide resi-
dent of the District.
1t was said also that the salary
for councilmen should be reduced
from the first-suggested $4,000 to
$1,000 a year, and that $4,000 a
year would be the top limit on the
pay of the proposed city manager
Senator Bushfield, Republican. of
South Dakota, subcommittee men,
Der, said prior to the meeting he
was opposed to having any appoint
ed members on the council. II think
it would be grave mistake to
tinker with an elected form of gov
|ernment,' he said, while expressing
general" approval of the idea of an
elected council

The VINO also listed wholesale

Of taxicab services as eligible for
the "locally-needed" designation.
Omitted from the list were the
manufacture of brick, concrete

the "locally-needed" list here after
the manufacturers contended the
lack of manpoWer was threatening
a breakdown of their services.
Office Given Latitude.
Acting Washington VINO Director
Ernest V. Connolly said the VINO
ruling gave the area Office more
latitude than formerly in deciding
which activities should be classed as
locally needed" and thereby eligi-
Bile for protection" in recruiting
and retaining workers.
Previously, Mr.. Connally said,
every addition to the list had to be
approved by national headquarters.
This procedure will not have to be
followed on the IS trades and serv-
ices listed by VINO. he said, but
manufacturing activities will have
to be reviewed by the national
office.
Extension of Washingtons list to
include drug distribution and taxi
cab services, Mr.. ConnaIly said, was
under consideration"
The locally needed" designation
recently was given added Importance
when Selective Service ruled that
Older men in 'Iocally-needed" ac-
tiyitieS would be eligible for occupa-
tlonal deferment.
Activities on the approved list
which already bear the locally
needed designation here include
wholesale distribution of automotiye
parts, supply and equipment: whole
