l8. Postwar
Reconstruction

With the arrival of VI day lease
lend aid has practically come to
an end. 1t was always understood
that 1t would come to an end at
that time. Immediately after Japan
accepted the terms of unconditional
surrender, T instructed the foreign
economic administrator to advise
promptly all governments that de-
liveries of supplies under lease-lend
would cease on VI day.
I also directed the administrator
in advance of the actual termination
Of lease-lend deliveries on VI day
to enter into immediate negotiations
with the receiving governments for
the purchase of all goods in the pipe
line or in storage. These negotia-
tions are proceeding satisfactorily.
In due time we must consider the
settlement of the lease-lend obliga-
tions which have been incurred dur
ing the course of the war. We must
recognize that it will not be possible
for our Allies to pay us dollars for
the overwhelming portion of ths
lease-lend obligations which they

Shortage Ends
Nays Order
| ANowinq Civvies

The Navy has backed down on its
recent order permitting sailors and
WAVES to wear civilian clothes dur
ing off-duty hours, after a two-day
buying rush threatened to clean out
the small wartime stocks of civilian
clothes in stores throughout the
country.
Civvies for ff-duty hours will
have to wait until the clothes supply
catches up, the Navy said today
adding that stocks have been de-
pleted by the thousands of service
personnel being discharged.
During the last two days, while
the order just rescinded was in
effect, local stores reported jams OF
Navy men and women all anxious to
deck out in something that wasn't
blue, tailored and familiar.
Before the Navy acted, some men,
bers Of Congress had said they ex-
pected President Truman to put a
stop to it himself.
There just isn't enough clothing
available, especially of the male va
riety, they explained, and the Presi-
dent feels that first choice of what
there is should go to discharged war
veterans.

Truman Expects
Some Return for
Leose-Lend Aid

President Truman today made
clear in his message to Congress
that this Government does not pro-
pose simply to charge of the $42,-
000, 900 900 lease lend advances to
the Allies.
Reiterating that a dollar return
could not be expected, he added !:
But this does not mean that all
lease-lend obligations are to be can
celed. We shall seek, under the
procedure prescribed in the Lease
lend Act and in subsequent agree
ments with other governments, to
achieve settlements of our wartime
lease lend relations which will per-
NIT generally sound worldwide
economy and will contribute to in
ternational peace and to our own
national security"

Truman Asks Congress to Vote
For Increase in Federal Pay

President Truman today called on
Congress to raise Federal salaries
starting with its own.
He suggested $4,000 year for
members of Congress, which would
double their present salaries. At
the same time, Mr.. Truman recon-
mended repeal of legislation by
which the House earlier this year
gave each Of its members a $4,000
expense allowance device to
which the Senate refused to sub
scribe.
There is no doubt in the mind
of any thinking American that
members of Congress are grosslv un-
derpaid and have been for mGny

sage to Congress.
He also said he favored a retire.
ment system for his former COL
leagues on Capitol Hill.
I'm most of the various classifica-
tions Of Federal employees, the wage
scales, with few exceptions, are OBJ
solete and inadequate" the Presi-
dent said. This is particularly true
of the Federal judiciary.
II sincerely hope that the Con-
gress will take early steps to pro-
vide decent wage scales for its
members and for the executive and
judicial branches Of the Govern
ment."

Progress in scientific research and
development is an indispensable
condition to the future welfare and
security Of the Nation. The events
OF the past few years are both proof
and prophecy of what science
can do.
Science in this war has worked
through thousands OF men and
women who labored selflessly and,
Tor the most part, anonymously, in
the laboratories, pilot plants and
proving grounds Of the Nation.
Through them, science, always
pushing forward the frontiers Of

Whiskey Store to
Close Feb. II

The Clintwood whiskey store,
according to general understand
ing, will close by the 18th of this
month by reason Of the decision
of the voters of the Town of
Clintwood December 5, in which
a majority of one was recorded
against continuance of the store.
The stock on hand is being clos
ed out as rapidly as possible, and
If any remains at the close it
will be shipped to another store.
This store was established by
the ABC board at least eight
years ago and operated by the
State. Herbert Rasnick and Clyde
Remines were as manager and
assistant. Remines resigned about
three years ago and was succeed
ed by A. A. Skeen, Jr. A little
later Herb Rasnick enlisted with
the Seabees and his place was
filled by Curtis Anderson. Skeen
resigned a few months ago and
was succeeded by Milton Keel.
Anderson entered the army a
few weeks ago and his place was
filled by man from the ABC
board who will next close out
the store.
rabbit" Damron enjoys the
distinction of making the first
purchase as soon as the doors
OF the whiskey store here opened
for business. Many wonder now
who will make the last purchase.

NEW RAILROAD TO BE
BUILT IN DICKINSON
COUNTY

According to a legal notice ap-
pearing elsewhere in this issue of
The Herald there is no longer
any doubt but a railroad is to be
built to Lick Fork for the pur-
pose of opening up a vast coal
field there and on Georges Fork
and Bold Camp.
Contrary to general expecta-
ton, the road will start from
Fremont and tunnel through the
mountain from there to Cranes
Nest River and up the river to
Lick Fork, a distance of slightly
over IA miles.
This will open up probably the
most extensive remaining area
of coal in Virginia. It is expect
ed that property along the high
way from Clintwood to Coeburn
will advance in price and that
within a few years dwellings will
occupy every bit Of available
space between the two towns.

"BrOwnOut"
Goes Into Effect

On January Is the War Pro-
duction Board issued an order
prohibiting the use of electricity
for outdoor advertising, display,
show window and ornamental
lighting, and limiting the amount
Of light for marques and GER
tain forms of identification signs.
The board requested voluntary
compliance with it's order up to
Feb. /, but after that date severe
penalties will be imposed for vi
Citations of the order. Not the
least Of these penalties is that
the War Production Board may
order the electric supplier to dis
continue all electric service to vi
olators. The order also states that
willful violation makes the VIC
lator guilty of crime and upon
conviction he may be punished by
a fine or Imprisonment.
In it's release describing the
provisions of the order, the gov
eminent states that the elimina-
ton of these forms of outdoor
advertising and display lighting
is necessary in order to conserve
coal and other fuels. L. W.Bates,
district manager of Appalachian
Electric Power Co., states that
the major portion of electricity
produced by his company is
made from coal. "Although Is
per cent of the power is produc-
ed by the company's hydro plant,
the fact that IS per cent comes
from generating plants using coal
makes the order apply to all of
our customers in this area. The
Appalachian Electric Power Co.
he said sis cooperating with the
government to the fullest extent
in it's efforts to save scarce fuels.
The War Production Board" con
tinued Mr.. Bates, Shas ordered
all electric companies in the I'm
tied States, including this COM
pany, to notify their customers of
the terms of the order. In COM
pliance we have sent by first
class mail to every customer who
might use electricity in any of
the prohibited ways letter di-
recting attention to the order. So
our customers may be fully in
formed we have enclosed with
the letter copy of the order. We
are also publishing an advertise
ment in similar form, including
the full text of the order and this
appears in all newspapers circu-
lating within the company's ter
ritory.
