Prince Georges Seeks
Homes for Teachers

An appeal for rooms for newly
appointed teachers in Prin e
Georges County was issued today by
Superintendent of Schools G. Gard
ner Shugart.
OF the approximately so new
teachers employed last month to fill
vacancies in the school system, more
than half have found it virtually
impossible to obtain housing ac-
commodations, Mr.. Shugart de-
clared.
Although most of the new teach
ers prefer both board and room,
Mr.. Shugart said he felt sure many
would "settle for just room" if
they could get it. He added that the
housing problem Is just as acute in
the Metropolitan area of the county
as it is in the rural area.
He urged any one willing to take
boarders or roomers to get in touch
with the principal of the nearest
school.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Shugart asserted,
the teaching situation in the coun-
ty is under control" He said sub
stantial number of vacancies have
been filled since schools closed for
the summer and that ''if we con-
tinue in this manner, we will have
filled all vacancies by the time
schools reopen this fall"

some future time when the

whether they want to have an
Emperor at all.
They'll be given chance to

There are adequate supplies OF

department added.
1t was understood that the Navy
Department also was preparing a
stop order on rail movement within
the United States of certain types
of war freight.
Qualified officials said 1t was en-
tirely likely that controls on gaso-
line use could be lifted within two or
three weeks after Japan capitulates.
More passenger car tires are GER
tainty at the end of the war, and
rationing is expected to end in two
or three months. Shoe rationing,
too, probably will not last long, but
housewives are likely to have to use
stamps for food for while after VI
day. Meat and sugar are expected
to be in short supply for some weeks.
Rationing of processed foods may be
terminated earlier.
The estimate of the cut in NUM-
tions employment, made by qualified
officials who asked anonymity
would trim by about 63 per cent
the total of around 5000, 900 workers
now engaged in war production.
OF the 5000, 900 slated for release,
it was said that a great number
perhaps half-would leave the labor
market and would not be classed
as jobless.
The others would be added to the
current unemployment roll to swell
the total to around 1900, 900 persons.
How long 1t will take for the ma
Jorlty OF these to be absorbed in
civilian production is anybody's
guess, the officials said. although
they look for openings quickly in
peacetime industries.
The heaviest munitions cutbacks
were forecast in the aircraft, ship
building and ordnance industries
where VINO estimates that 3,4O0 900
persons are employed. Most of
these, 1t was said, will be released
outright as soon as the war is over.
o fthe 5000, 900 munition workers
expected to retain jobs. most are in
industries which will shift immedi-
ately to civilian production.
The automobile industry was men,
toned as an example, although even
there considerable number of lay
offs Is expected until passenger car
manufacture hits its stride.

sion of Canada and France, but was
fighting for the principle of greater
representation for smaller countries.
Earlier, L. X. Pearson, Canadian
Ambassador to Washington and
chief of the Canadian UNRRA dele

1t was the first public reference

among delegates that UNRRA had
been given scant consideration by
armies in the field.
At the same time, Mr.. Pearson as
serted, nations able to finance their
