 The petroleum industry now is operating at an all-time record rate. Not only will civilians get more gas- oline. but the quality will return soon to peace-time standards with the cutback of military require ments for aviation fuel.
 Removal of blue-stamp canned fruits and vegetables from the ra- ton list was made possible by good crop prospects as well as by military cutbacks.
 But to remove other rationing controls 'too soon Bowles said, would cause inconvenience and "hard feelings resulting from com- petitive buying at the neighborhood grocery stores of the scarce goods"
 q I am sure everybody will agree that we can't go overheard on things like meat, sugar, tires, and shoes until we have good evidence that there is enough in sight to go around" Bowles said.
 We are confident that consum- CTS and businesses affected by the remaining rationing programs will continue to cooperate in making them work until they are no longer needed"
 Ration Boards Remain
 To keep these programs operat- ing, Bow1es asked members of the nations $500 local rationing breads to stay on their jobs for the present.
 We will continue to need their help at least until meat, tire and shoe rationing can be eliminated" |" he said.
 Bowles added that with gasoline rationing out of the way, the OPA will now devote more of our em- ergy and time" to remaining criti- cal problems of price control and stabilization.
 He said that "we'll have to lick these problems" If Americans are going to have the Jobs, decent homes, and security they want for themselves and returning service. men and women"

 The first area stabilization plan, which incorporated the statement of-availability provisions, took ef- feet April 21, 1943, just three weeks after the 48-hour work week regula- tions took force.
 In the fall of 1943 an interim stabilization plan was in operation, under a national program, pending approval of new, revised Stabiliza- tion regulations. Under the interim plan the waiting period for workers without statements of availability was increased, in October, 1943, from 30 to 60 days.
 On Dec. 13. 194S the new stabih- zation plan took effect and with it came the extensive hiring controls and the system of priority of re- ferral. Already the WING was con- ducting extensive surveys on com- pliance to the 48-hour work-week regulations and the statement-of- availability order. Employment utilization studies went into full swing shortly thereafter.
 Soon after the prioriy of referral system took effect, out-of-town in- dustries began to draw upon the local labor supply. Ball-bearing ih- dustries in Bristol, and the Man haitian Project" now known to be the atomic bomb undertakings were among them.
 In February, 1914. the WING an- nounced establishment of hiring controls over "non- essential jobs. and by May l the program was in full operation, with employers using Feb. l, 1924 as the labor ceiling date. At about that time the WING expanded its office, adding addi- tional members to aid in the ad- ministration of the new employment regulations.
 Tightening of hiring controls was announced August 8, 1914, and ap- plicants thereafter were given less choice in selecting jobs. An in- crease in the number of appeals on referrals and statement-of availability decisions was noted soon thereafter.
 Handbills Issued It was about a year ago that the intense job-recruiting programs were undertaken. Pink handbills soon were posted all over the city, urging housewives and other able bodied persons to take jobs in war industry. The house-to-house recruiting campaign was undertak- en in an effort to comb the city for possible manpower. A severe cut-down on issuance of job-trans- Ger statements was noted during this period.
 Jamaican labor arrived in Water bury last January, several weeks after the WING announced 6 new 12- point program to recruit labor.
 It was not until June 1, when job controls on women workers were lifted. that the first affects of cans

0PACOINC AHEAD /
WITH PRICE PLAN

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-P)-
Despite angry dealer protests,
OPA is going ahead with its an
nounced plan for putting new con.
sumner goods on the market at
1912 prices. ''
The agency has decided to turn
down an appeal by delegation
of retailers for abandonment Of
its sharply disputed cost absorp.
ton policy.
Under that policy retailers and
wholesalers must absorb, by trim
ming their profit margins, all or in
some cases part Of any price i'm
crease granted to manufacturers.
This is to keep prices the public
pays from going any higher than
those of three years ago.
The policy is in effect already
for washing machines. aluminm
ware and electric ir-oners. 1t
will be applied to any other con-
sumner product coming back on
the market if the manufacture is
given a increase to compensate
for higher labor and materials
costs.
