Navy Halls Civilian Flow
OF 1ax-Free Cigarettes

An order by the Navy discontin-
uing the sale of tax-free cigarettes
to civilians was announced today
but Navy Department officials said
its application to the continental
United States was unnecessary, since
civilians are not permitted to trade
at ships service stores.
The Federation of Tax Admins
traitors said the Navy banned sales
to civilians last month and thus
followed an example set by the
Army in April, 1914.
The order, apparently applied to
installations outside the United
States, where civilians have been
known to have access to tax-exempt
smokes, the Navy said. In this
country, Navy personnel is rationed
to six packs a week and each de-
pendent is entitled to the same ra-
ton. 1t was explained.
Under the new Navy ruling, ships
service stores where civilian workers
are permitted to trade, will buy both
tax-free and tax-paid cigarettes
from distributors. Civilian employees
then will be sold only the taxpaid
items.

the recent query from Lawrence

publican, as eo what stand Mr.. Tuck
would take, if elected, on the con-
troverSy over declaring vacant the
seat of Senator Glass, Virginia. S
senior Senator.
In a second telegram to Mr.. Tuck,

the event he is elected, if he will
appoint Gov. Darden to the Senate
if, "in your opinion, vacancy later
should exiSt?"
IF you are elected Governor" Mr.
Michael asked, land do not go to

you accept your salary or would you
consider the Office vacant and have
the Lieutenant Governor take over?"
Mr.. Tuck has previously stated
that in his opinion no vacancy exists
in the Senate from Virginia.
Collins Cites Qualification.
Meanwhile, L. Preston Collins,
who, with Leonard Muse, is oppos-
ing Col. Fenwick for Lieutenant

of the Senate and his qualifications
to fill the Office of Governor should
a vacancy occur.
Declaring that he had no COM
ment to make on issues raised by
other candidates for the Office, Mr.
Collins said "the lieutenant gov
ernorship is not a policy-making
office, SO I have no comment to
make on the issues raised"
Mr.. Collins said he planned to
spend the time remaining before
the election in Southwest Virginia.
In his forthcoming visit to North

Fear Of Soap
Ration Program
Secretary Orders
increased Production
For Next II Months
BY MALCOLM LAMBoRNE, Jr,

BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr,
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson,
assuring housewives there is no need
for soap rationing, announced today
that an order has been issued allow
ing manufacturers to increase
laundry soap production by 1oo,-
100000 pounds during the next u
months.
At the same time, he disclosed
that Army requirements for soap
will be lowered in the next six
months, thus avoiding a reduction
in ALLEGATIONS of fats in making soap
for civilians.
The order, which will increase
production of heavy-duty household
laundry soap by 10 per cent, calls
Tor manufacturers to use additiona,
understanding builders" in their
production. This will not decrease
the cleansing quality of the soap.
Mr.. Anderson said.
Should End Store Raids"
"All this should result in substan-
tial increases in the amount of SOAP
available for civilians and should
persuade housewives of this country
to discontinue the practice of raid
ing the shelves of stores as soon as
a new shipment of soap arrives"
the Secretary declared.
Mr.. Anderson said consumers have
"misinterpreted" the recent state
ment of Director General Herbert II.
Lehman of the United Nations Re-
lief and Rehabilitation Administra-
ton on the needs in Europe and had
taken it "as a tip that there might
be soap rationing in America" Mr..
Lehman was quoted in a July 3
broadcast as urging some form OF
soap rationing so that overseas needs
in devastated countries could be met.
IF we were to have soap ration
ing it would be necessary for me as
Secretary of Agriculture to author
ize it, and do not plan to issue
such authorization" Mr.. Anderson
stated.
Sensible Buying Urged.
Operation of such a program
would be too great a problem to
undertake now, he added. 1T would
be little easier on all of us if peo-
pie would buy sensibly, buying only
what is NEEDED instead of starting
runs on scarce Stocks" he said. Sup
plies will continue to retail outlets,
the Secretary promised.
Under today's order, manufacture
ers will reduce the quantity of dry
soap content in all types of heavy
duty household laundry soap, both
granulated and faxed, to not more
than 80 per cent of the dry soap
content of such products made dur
ing the 30-day period ending July
IT, 1912. To offset this, manufac-
turers will be allowed an increase
in water -softening materials.
Thus, manufacturers will be able
to increase the total quantities of
this type soap by more than 100,-
10000 pounds during a 12-month
period without requiring the use OF
additional fats and oils, the Secre-
tary explained.
1t also was pointed out that the
order will not alter the present
formulas for making bar soap or
other f1ne-fabric granulated or
! faxed soaps.
