Discharged Men
o Get Two
Shoe Stamps

Shoe ration books issued to dis
charged service men hereafter will
contain two valid shoe stamps in
stead of the single stamp ordinarily
allowed, the Office of Price Admin
istration announced today.
Granting discharged service men
the use of two regular shoe ration
stamps is part of the program to
adjust OPA regulations to assist
veterans in their return to civilian
life, the agency said. Local war
price and rationing boards have
been advised that the new ruling
applies to all books issued to vet
Grams after March %.
When a veteran comes out of the
service, OPA explained, he either
has no shoe book at all, or one from
which the shoe stamps were re-
moved on issuance to military per-
sonnet. The government issue shoes
he owns usually are not suitable
for civilian wear, and he generally
finds that the shoe he wore before
going into the service no longer
fit.
The shoe ration program pro-
vides that anyone who needs shoes
and has less than two pairs that
are wearable or repairable, may
get an extra ration in the form of
a special shoe stamp issued by the
local board. However, under the ex-
ception being made for shoe books
issued to discharged service men,
two pairs viii be available imme-
diately, without the necessity OF
making separate application to the
board for the second pair.
The ration book in use for shoes
is book 3r originally issued in the
summer of 1913 and in use for shoes
since November of that year. Ordi-
narily, all shoe stamps except the
last one that became good are re-
moved when the book now is issu-
ed to new babies, late applicants,
and any others who are eligible
for it. The shoe stamps are stamps
l, 2 and of the airplane series,
and discharged service men will
have the use of both stamps 2 and
8.

Presidential
Citation
To 969th

Allied Expeditionary Forces,
France-The 969th Field Artillery
Battalion, a Negro 155-nm howit-
ger outfit, was one of 81 odd units
which received citatins in the name
of the President of the United
States for action in the Bastogne
area when attached to the 101st
Airbone division, SHAEF announ-
ced.
Men of the 969th stuck to their
guns and fired all around the COM
pass during the defense of encir-
cled Bastogne even though mortar
bombs fell on them like rain. The
unit which landed in France last
July, was attached to the 18th In
fantry division at the time of the
German attack. At one time, when
enemy pressure increased and casu-
alties became heavier, all except
the actual cannoneers fought in
fantry fashion.
The 10lst Airbone Division and
certain attached units were form
ally presented with the honor on
March Is. Twenty-Five other odd
units, including the 969th Field Ar
tillery Battalion, were not present
because operations required their
presence elsewhere. However, APP
propriate ceremonies will be held
for these units at a future date.

Mr.. Stolk said il canot be pre-
dicted now when items not per-
mitted in cans will be plentiful a.
gain in civilian markets as release
of metal for civilian use depends
on the progress of the war in the
Pacific. He added that many items
such as breakfast foods and similar
products, not previously packaged
in tin cans are now going to the
troops in the Pacific in this type of
container. This, he said, is due to
the fact that the can provides
maximum protection against the
moist climate of the Pacific as well
as against the exigencies of diff
cult landing conditions and the haz-
ards of modern warfare.

MECHANICSBURG MAN
FINED AFTER ACCIDENT

Charles Arlington, of Mechanics
burg, was fined $50 and costs, by
Justice William H. Snodgrass, this
morning, on a charge of reckless

changed a tire. Both Arlington

icsburg, who was with him, were
held in the Union county Jail over

TO CHECK GARAGES
ON REPAIR PRICES

The Columbus district Office of
Price Administration today an
nounced plans to check every gar
age in the 34-county district to OBJ
tain adherence to OPA regulations
and halt "gouging' in automobile
repairs.
This was revealed today with an
nouncement by Albert G.. Giles,
OPA District rents and service en-
forcement attorney that he had
filed suits in Federal Court here a.
gainst eight Columbus garages, all
within the jurisdiction of one Col
umbus War Price and Rationing
Board.
Mr.. Giles asked, in behalf of the
OPA, a mandatory injunction in
each case requiring the garages to
file base period rates for auto
repairs, and asked for restraining
orders enjoining them frem doing
repair work until correct and
proper" filing is made with their
ration boards.
Federal Judge Nell G. Under
wood set 10 am. Aug. IA as the
time for hearing on a motion for
a preliminary injunction for all de-
PENDANTS. These cases are the first
of their kind filed against garages
in the Columbus district, Mr.. Giles
said.
Declaring the OPA is receiving
''lotS" of complaints concerning ex-
horbitant charges for automobile
repairs, Giles said:
There is a tremendous amount
of gouging going on and these suits
are the opening gun in drive to
end it. We can't check the present
rates for ceiling violations unless
we have a proper filing of base
period rates. Ceilings are set at
prices charged in March, 1912. If
necessary, we are going to file
suit against every garage in the
district if they don't file their base
period rates within the next few
days"
