TarlS, Aug. 16.-(UP)-America Army authorities cancelled all troop movements from the European theater to the Pacific and announced today radical fevisions in the re- deployment prgoram.
 More than 60,000 veterans will start for the United States as soon a3 possible, with five divisions leav- ing within 30 days.
 The 63rd, 69th, 103rd infantry di- visions. the Sixth Armored Divi- sion, and the 17th airborne have been scheduled as the first five to go. Two other unidentified ar- mcred divisions were lined up to leave shortly afterwards. Many Changes The army said that the personnel ot the divisions slated to return Tome has changed greatly since VE- day. Many low-score men have been transferred to other divisions and their places have been taken by mghscore men who were released from Pacific-bound units.
 Authorities explained two methods will be used for returning highscore veterans.
 Firstly, they will fill divisions with high-pointers from the armies and corps.
 Secondly, they will use a quota system for returning airforce and service force troops. Thus the great est possible space will be given to combat ground units.
 The army said that 92,000 troops were in various stages of redeploy- ment when the Japanese surren- dered. Most were low-score men.
 Many of these troops probably will be withdrawn from the staging area to make way for highscore men," an official said.
 However, he said the 30th, S5th, and 18th infantry divisions. which have reached an advanced stage of processing, will sail as scheduled.

 Washington, Aug. 16. (UP) An end of all rationing by Christmas except for sugar, butter, and other fats was forecast today as the pulp lie cranked up cars for joy rides and put their blue stamps in souvenir books.
 To Free Meat
 An informed government source said that cheese and canned fish would be next off the ration list and by the end of the month when . new red stamp period starts. Gasoline, fuea oil, canned fruits, and vegetables and oil stoves were made unrationed yesterday.
 This source also predicted sub- stantial relaxation of meat ration ing in the near fynure. He said that after early october. points w0uldn't be required for low-quality beei cuts and all types, ef porkss~-.aai
 Choice cuts of beef. as well as shoes and tires. win have to stay under controls until late December when supply comes into balance with demand.
 Sugar Tight
 Removal of butter, fats and oils from the ration list can't be ex- pected before early spring. Sugar remains the scarcest of all foods and will continue to be rationed at least until late 1946.
 War Production Chief J. A. Krug warned yesterday that the passen- ger car tire situation will be tight for the next three months. He urged gasoline-happ motorists not to go rushing around the country burn ing up their tires"
 Another high official, however, said that production of civilian tires would be tremendous after hostil- ities are formally ended and mili- tary needs drop. We'll within three months, he said, needs of the most essential drivers can be taken care of and non-essential drivers will be put on the list.
 Truck Tires Based
 Rationing of truck tires will ease before it does sfor passenger tires.
 With the end of gasoline ration ing, OPA has started new system of determining the eligibility of mo- torists for tires. It will roughly fol- low the former policy but will allow for "very limited" rationing for non-occupational purposes.
 The WIPE will continue controls over leather for @ while but the end of shoe rationing probably will not

Sunday Proclaimed
 Day or Thanksgiving

Washington, Aug. 16-(UP) - President Truman today proclaimed next Sunday as a day of prayer and thanksgiving for the Allies victory in World War II.
 The day of prayer. MT. Truman indicated, will be separate and dis tinct from V-J Day, which will come by another presidential proclama- tion once Japan has signed the in- struments of surrender.
 Work on V-J Day
 Under questioning, MT. Truman said he felt Americans will have had their victory holidays yesterday and today, and therefore he did not en- visage v-J Day itself as a day free from work.
 The president, commenting on the day of prayer, remarked that after two days of celebrating Americans needed day to pray.
 Railing the victory over the Axis, MT. Truman's proclamation called upon Americans of all faiths "to unite in offering their thanks to God for the victory we have won, and in praying that he will support and guide us into the paths of peace"
 Dedicate Day
 T also called upon by countrymen to dedicate this day of prayer to the memory of those who have given their lives to make possible our vic- tory" he said.
 Americas victory. the president pointed out. has come from the courage and stamina and spirit of free men and women united in de- termination to fight.
 "It has come from the massive strength of arms and materials ere ated by peace-loving peoples who knew that unless they won, decency in the world would end.

 Washington, Aug. 16 = (UP)-The War Production Board put in force today it's "Sky's tue limit" reconver- sion plan. Its aim: to provide full employment within the next 12 to 18 months and a standard of living 30 per cent higher than the Amer ican people ever have known.
 Wartime shackles on industry were being ripped off in wholesale lots. WIPE Chief J. A. Krug prom ised that by next weekend all but 30 or 40 of WIPES 400 orders con- trolling industry will be lifted. Only those are being retained that will assure orderly and fair distribution of critically tight materials such as tin. rubber, textiles, and lumber. These are coming off as soon as possible.
 Unemployment
 President Truman holds his first postwar press conference this mori1- ing and may afnplify his views on his requested legislation to ease economic dislocation and unemplOy- ment during the reconversion period. Thousands of munitions workers --rlnen and women who only few days ago were soldiers of the pro- duction line already have joined the army of unemployed, which is expected to swell from it's present total of HOO, 900 to 5000, 900 by next spring. They were among the, first to feel the impact of the govern mgnt's ''cease production" orders. There will be many thousands more out of jobs in the coming weeks. By Thanksgiving some 5,00o,- 900 are expected to be unemployed. Prom all points of the country came word of plant closings and accompanying unemployment as the result of mass war contract can. cellations.
 The estimate of S.OO0,000 unem- ployed by spring was made by Re- conversion Chief John w. Snyder. But neither he nor Krug was pes- simistic about the outlook. Both expressed confidence that Ameri- can industry will absorb them as soon as it hits its full stride.
 High Standards Sought Snyder said that the governments reconversion program is shooting at 8 standard of living for our people as . whole that will be 50

Less Local
 Draft Calls
BY CAROLYN GENOVA

A noticeable drop in draft call is anticipated by local Draft Board No. i5 as the result of a quick action taken by State Selective Service headquarters in Hartford Tuesday when the news regarding the status of men 26 years and over was broadcast immediately following the presidents proclama- ton of victory.
 Comdr. John F. Robinson, State eelective Service director, called a midnight meeting of his staff and contacted J. Warren Upson of the local board by phone at 1:S0 Q. m. yesterday. instructing him to re- lease men in the specified age group scheduled for induction yesterday. Had Comdr. Robinson delayed noti. flying MT. Upson for an official re- lease from Washington. twenty men who were exempted yesterday would have been on their way to New Haven for induction.
 Draft Board Holiday
 Members of the local board have been on two-day holiday and are awaiting supplementary instruc- t:ons from Hartford as to future in- duction procedure. Meanwhile, it is expected only . small number of men will be drafted here. since most of those under 26 were called previously. The induction halt mas cut the state schedule 65 per cent
 The local board will not turn its attention to the execution of Sec tion 8 of the amended Selective Service Act of 1940. empowering the boards to assist returning service men to get back the jobs they held prior to the war.
