DIRECTOR JAMES F. BYRNE5
ORDERS AMUSEMENT PLACES
TO Be CLOSED At MIDNIGHT

An order last night by James F.
Byrnes, war mobilization director,
stating that all night clubs, bars,
theaters, roadhouses, and "any
other places of amusement" must
close at midnight will begin Mon
day February 26.
The stroke of IL order by Byrnes
was called a request and means
that patrons must be out of amuse-
ment places and doors must be
locked at IL midnight sharp. Most
drastic action of the war, it is
aimed mainl at conserving fuel but
also will conserve manpower and
transportation. He put teeth into
the order by asking CD the War
Manpower Commission (WMC), to
deny manpower to a place of busi-
ness ignoring the order; (2) WPB,
office of defense transportation,
and office of price administration
to use full powers to assist the
VINO. Byrnes stated that earlier
measures to conserve fuel, such as
the brownout and travel reduction
did not seem to be effective enough
in view of the coal shortage.
The businesses that will be hard
est hit will be the cabarets and
nightclubs. It is generally assumed
that they will do their best business
after the midnight hour. Few
nightclub owners think that the
measure will conserve fuel, because
they state they heat their places
early in the evening and the crowds
keep it warm afterwards.

Condition of four-year-old Rufus
Mitchell, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Rufus
Mitchell, after having undergone
delicate and dangerous operation of
his bladder and kidneys Tuesday at
Grady hospital was reported as
favorable.
Rufus case, doctors here said,

doctors last Thanksgiving had given
up as hopeless. Known as "Nub-

an operation in a Denver hospital,
has virtually recovered.
The Atlanta youngster has spent

his only chance for life, attending
physicians said, hinged on the out
come of the kidney operation.
Thousands of Atlantans, learning
of the case, have offered donations

''That theory enabled the pious
slave traders and slave owners of
