WHAT KIND OF VETERAN ARE
YOU?

Today, in the fourth year of war,
our men, young and old, are veterans.
Experience has made them so. Beyond
all that they have done already, they
are eager to have it done with. They
are so eager that they are impatient
when they are not moving forward
fast. Don't let them suspect that it
might be you who are holding them
back by not buying the bond that
helps them with guns, shells, ammu-
milton, supplies, the weapons of vic
tory.
Sure, you've bought your share of
bonds. But they've had their share of
war, too. The last bond campaign was
the 9Th for you-it may be the tenth,
or thirtieth, or hundredth time that
they have risked their life in the face

FACTS ESSENTIAL TO PLANNING

Representative of labor, industry
and government worked hard in the
closing weeks of the 18th Congress
to avert an economic tragedy for the
United States-and failed.
Facts are essential to economic
planning for full employment in the
postwar period. Everybody seemed to
agree to that when the President ask
ed Congress for funds to enable all
agencies to cooperate in a fact-gath-
ering program to include census
of manufactures for 1914 Ca year
ahead), expanded employment and
unemployment data, expanded wage
and wage rate data, and more detailed
consumer income data.
But Congress cut the bill to shreds.
Perhaps the government planners
were too late with their ideas or
couldn't sell them to Congress; they
think the country will be too late in
doing job of reconversion. They will
now get together to figure out some
makeshift program to provide some
basis for economic planning in 1916
and it is to be hoped that the new 10Th
Congress will be cooperative.
Some politicians do better without
facts, but economists and others
charged with promoting full employ
ment after the war still believe in
facts.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1945-01-05

from common agreement of the
largest powers in the world, Stettin-
ius declared that this fact "in no way
detracts from the essentially demo-
cratic character" of the projected or
ganization, which would assure all
PARTICIPATE e nations protection
against aggression as well as equal
ity in the promotion of economic and
social interests, human rights and fun
damental freedoms.
He said the proposals will be SUBJ
mitted to general conference Of ma
tions sometime in the future.
Little Sweden has served humanity
during the war in way she could
never have done if she had joined the
world holocaust. In addition to the
hep Sweden has sent Norway, Greece
and other nations conquered by the
Nazis, she has harbored many refu-
gees from nations overrun by the
Germans or Russians.
According to the latest tabulations,
there are at present approximately
175,000 adult refugees in Sweden. Of
these, the Firms number $1,000, the
Norwegians 10000, the Danes 10000,
and refugees from the Baltic countries
81 900. Of the last mentioned there
are $500 Estonians of Swedish ances-
try The above figures do not include
children of whom there are $4,000
from Finland. To the liberated areas
of Poland, via Moscow, the Polish
Swedish Relief Committees sent over
400 pounds of medical supplies.
The manner in which Sweden has
cared for refugees reflects great cred
it on the Swedish people, who deserve
the thanks of all humanity.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Secretary of State Stettinius has
warned the nations of the world that
they may be compelled to cope with
robot or rocket bombs within 10 or
20 years unless the Dumbarton Oaks
proposals for general international
organization are adopted and "become
living force"
In one of his first public statements
since appointment by President Roose-
velt as chief of American foreign af-
fairs, Stettinius said in an article in
The Kiwanis Magazine that the Dunn
barton Oaks proposals "are import
ant because they point an alternative
to unspeakable disaster"
'Let no one forget that the robot
bomb and the rocket are still in their
infancy" he explained. "Many of our
outstanding scientists agree that with
in the space of 10 or 20 years these
deadly missiles may be perfected to
the point where they can travel
thousands of miles at incredible
speed. In that event our oceans, our
industrial strength and our manpow-
er would not be able to prevent sur
prise attacks and vast damage by ac-
curately aimed weapons travelling fas-
ter than sound"
n
In pleading for the establishment of
an efficient and workable organiza-
tion for the maintenance of peace, Sec
retary Stettinius pointed out that sit
is evident the nations of the world
have reached such degree of inter-
dependence that we can only achieve
prosperity by working together, free
of the fear of war and free from the
burden of competitive ornaments"
Although the proposals stemmed

erals Eisenhower, Bradley, Patton,
and Clark, / foresee an increase rather
than decrease in the need for Amer
lean Red Cross services on the con-
tinent from now and for some time
after the European fighting is over
Likewise it is obvious the American
Red Cross must expand it's Pacific and
Far Eastern operations during the
coming year.
"It is our intention that Red Cross
stay with our troops until all of them
are returned home and continue to
serve them through their readjust-
ment to civilian life. For this reason
we must ask the American public to
consider our goal of $180,000,000 as
an absolute minimum"

!. @. If 85 per cent of the civilian
meat supply is to be rationed
on December 81 as against
about 35 per cent now, and but
ter values are increased by
points per pound, why don't !
get more than so red points for
January.
A. Five red stamps worth so
points are made good in jan
uary as against three worth 80
points in December. No more
meats and fats are produced or
made available by giving con-
sumers more points. If more
than SO points were given, all
point values would have to be
increased above present sched-
ules. Although a greater per-
centage of meat is being ra-
toned, point values for pre-
sently rationed beef steaks and
roasts will be reduced two to
three points per pound

OPA Gives Answers To
Tighter Food RatiOning

Lie IOuOWluS QuSSIlOlS dilu di-
swers explaining tighter wartime
food rationing were issued today by
the Office of Price Administration
l. @. What foods are affected by
changes in the rationing pro-
gram?
A. Five canned vegetables, most
kinds of meats, butter and
sugar are affected.
2. @. What canned vegetables are
added to the ration list?
A. Canned peas, corn, green and
wax beans, asparagus and
spinach now require blue ra-
tion stamps. This change went
into effect at 1901 a. m. Tues
day, December 26.
3. @. Are canned fruits affected by
the changes?
A. On January 1, blue point val
ues for most canned fruits will
be reduced. Present point val
ues on canned fruits remain in
effect until that time.
a. @. How is butter affected?
A. The point value of butter was
raised to "a points a pound at
1901 a. m. Tuesday, Decem-
Der 26.
5. @. What is happening to the meat
rationing program?
A. Beginning December 81, about
85 per cent of the civilian meat
supply will require red points
as compared with about 81 per
cent at present.
6. @. What change is there in sugar
rationing?
A. All outstanding sugar stamps
and home canning stamps and
coupons except sugar stamp "a,
were cancelled at 1901 a. m.
Tuesday, December 26.
7. @. Were any other ration stamps
cancelled?
A. A. Yes, at the same time, all
blue and red ration stamps
became good before December
1914 are no longer good.
8. @. Why were these older unused
stamps cancelled?
A. Civilian supplies of sugar,
butter and commercially cam
ned fruits and vegetables are
at the lowest point since the
war began. Meat supplies are
declining. Supplies for 1945
are not large enough to per-
NIT spending Of old unused
stamps, which apparently were
not needed at the time they
were intended for use. Cancel
lation Of old stamps at the start
of the new program is means
of seeing that each consumer
gets the fair share out of 1945
supplies he is entitled to.
9. @. What should housewives do
with old stamps that are no
longer good?
A. She should destroy invalid
stamps Immediately. OPA says
"Don't give your old stamps
to anybody" Grocers are not
permitted to accept them.
o. @. How will the rationing Of ad-
ditional foods help consumers ?
A. The whole purpose Of ration
ing is to assure consumers
their fair share of things that
are short during wartime.
Scaxcities Of some items in
stores such as bacon and 9TH
er meats in many sections Of
the country meant that limit

WHAT NEXT?

That bothersome bounce you ex-
perience while riding in trains and
other vehicles may be eliminated af-
ter the war. Engineers of the West
inghouse Electric & Manufacturing
Co. are planning to adapt for peace
time use the stabilizing device they
developed to hold tank guns level
while tanks jolt over rough battle
fields. Studies show that the power
required to eliminate the up-anddown
of railroad coach is only
about 3 horsepower and that the sta
bilizing mechanism required would
be so small it could be tucked into an
overnight bag.

getting scarce items to con-
sumers in all areas, nor were
supplies in any one area being
divided fairly among all con-
sumers. The addition of certain
scarce food items to the ration
list will help more even dis
tribution. The move is for the
protection of people on the
home front.
IL. @. Why were some canned vege-
tables returned to rationing?
A. AS more of our armed forces
go overseas they require larg-
er amounts of canned goods be-
cause fresh fruits and vege-
tables are harder to get. This
has left for civilians, on De-
cember /, about Sc per cent of
the commercially canned vege-
tables available year earlier.
If rationing had not been re-
sumed, it is estimated that
stocks of canned vegetables
would have disappeared three
to five months before the 1915
pack became available.
IL. @. How does the cancellation of
all red stamps made good be-
fore December affect the use
of red ration tokens?
A. Red tokens are still good. They
are needed in making change
for valid red ration stamps,
which are worth 10 points each.
13. @. Blue tokens have not been in
use since October /, 1914. Why
aren't they used now?
A. They aren't needed now, be-
cause all processed food re-
quiring blue stamps have point
values in units of 10, so that
blue Change" takens are not
necessary now nor are they
good for the purchase Of "blue"
foods.
IA. @. What red stamps are good for
buying meats and dairy pro-
ducts?
A. Q5, Rs, and S5 in War Book
are the only red stamps now
good. Beginning Sunday, De-
cember 81, five additional red
stamps worth ten points each
become valid These are red
stamps T5, Us, V5, W5 and KS.
Is. @. What about blue stamps?
A. KS, VS., rs, Az and BIZ are the
only blue stamps now good.
Five new blue stamps for pro-
cessed foods become valid Jan
uary 1. These are CO, D2, E2,
F2 and G2, worth ten points
each.
16. @. What about sugar stamps?
A. The only sugar stamps now
good is Sugar Stamp 34 The
cancelled stamps are Sugar
Stamps 80, 81, 80 and 33, along
with all outstanding home can
ming coupons and home can
ming Sugar Stamp 40 in War
Book a. Another sugar stamp
will become good February
for five pounds and will have
to last three months.
IL. @. What red stamps are no longer
good?
A. These red stamps from War
Book a: A8 through rs and AS
through P5. Destroy them.

for retailers to accept them.
l8. @. What blue stamps should de-
stroy?

and W5 in War Book a.
l9. @. What sugar stamps are no
longer valid?

and home canning Sugar Stamp
40 in War Book are not good. |
All outstanding home canning
sugar coupons issued by Local
War Price and Rationing
Boards are not valid. Destroy
all of them.
20. @. Since more processed foods are
now rationed than in December,
why do still have only so ra-
tion points for January, the
same number as in December?
A. Although five canned vege-
table items are added to the
ration list, blue point values
for most canned fruits and to-
mato catsup and chill sauce

NO Licenses Are Denied
barfments, Restaurants

4 One hundred and seventy licenses
for apartments, rooming and board
ing houses and restaurants have
been denied this year, Edward E.
Bailey, jr., superintendent of licenses,
estimated yesterday.
Two recent restaurant license re-
newals denied were those of Victor
D. Zeve, 1918 @ street NV, the
Anchor and Saber Club, and of Jessie
Saucer. 518 Fourth street S.W. Both
renewals were denied because of un-
favorable reports from the Health
Department, according to Mr.. Bal
leys office.
Other recent denials of applica-
tions were issued in the case of 3
apartments and 10 rooming houses.
Police have been notified of the ac-

trict chapter of the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis, yes

en- to prepare for postwar careers
by accepting scholarships in physi-
cal therapy being offered by the

The foundation, which is conduct
ing a $1,267 600 physical therapy
training program, has pointed out
that there are only $500 qualified
physical therapists in this country
and that more than half of them
are In the armed forces. Judge
Bentley said there was an immedi-
ate need for at least 5000 more and
additional ones would be required

Stage Provides New Directors

/ He is not only dynamic, but also
very persuasive. He talked Alice
Faye into making Fallen Angel
straight role with only one song
when every other producer on the
lot had failed to interest her in a
script.
Unlike most actor directors, Prem
niger seldom steps before the
cameras to show his players what
he wants. He tells them. II they
don't grasp his meaning he'll get
into the scene and lampoon their
version, stressing their errors SO
laughingly they catch on.
Some of Hollywood's top directors
have been actors at one time on an
other. Henry King began behind

Trampas in an early version of THE
Virginian." Walter Lang had act
ing ideas until his waistline inter-
fered. Others are Eddie Goulding,
Irving Pichel, Irving Cummings,
Robert Leonard, Cecil B. De Mile,
John Cromwell and Ella Kazan.
Preminger was born in Vienna,
where the theater and the cafe-au-
lait were matters of deep concern.
During his vacations from law
school he joined stock companies in
Zurich and Prague. He played
Shakespearean roles and bits from
Goethe and Schiller. During his
