WPB to Protect

BY sILER FREEMAN

The War Production Board
has stepped out 90 protect the
so-called service trades" under
the revised selective service
regulations, which cancel all
Class PA and 2-B deferments of
men under 30. WPB has been
authorized as sponsoring
agency" for all persons in war
supporting activities.
War plants deal directly with
selective service but il is the
small restaurants, laundries and
other service trades which were
left high and dry by the revised
regulations. So WPB has been
named to front for them.

Stocks Slump
Over I Points

NEW YORK, March 9 QNS)-
The stock market took another
beating today, slumping one TO
more than two points in an ex-
NON of the bear raid which got
way late Thursday after
noon.
In trading which ran at half
million shares an hour, the mar
ket leaders opened as much as
III lower. Toward the end of
the second hour pressure let up
for a while, but was renewed at
the sessions half way mark. Re-
sumption of selling just about
doubled the earlier losses. Chrys-
Ter slumped more than 2 points
to 98h. the first time il has been
under the 100 mark since getting
above il initially late in February.
Bethlehem Steel reacted Ia and
u. S. Steel lost more than a
point.
The sharply lower trend was
attributed mostly TO further profit
taking after the markets recent
advance which lifted prices 10
eight-year highs. Arguments in
Washington as to whether or not
margin requirements should be
increased was contributing influ-
ence.
Big losses in the steel and
motor groups were matched by
declines of more than z in Doug
las Aircraft, and a point in Union
Carbide and Pullman.
In the rail group Southern. Pa
cific toppled 2 and Santa Fe IA
The curb also dropped sharply.

A m military procurement
agency will assume jurisdiction

plant or the combined services
have Is per cent. Exceptions for
good cause will be cleared or
checked against the Area Pro-
duction Urgency Committee
listing of essentially to the war
effort. "
Tt is WPB's desire to main-
tain civilian production and
services at the level necessary
to give maximum support TO war
production" Carsten Tiedeman,
regional WPB director, said.
All requests for deferment
must be filed with the appro-
pirate agency Immediately to
permit processing by March 81
1t is important that such a form
be on file for every Class PA
and Class 2-B registrant in a
company's employ for whom de-
ferment is believed to be JUS

What s 'sNew
In Business
Sees Water Injection
for Wartime Motorists
BY WARD SCHULTZ

Only a few short months ago,
water injection into aircraft
motors was on the super secret
list.
The added power which the
"shot" of water gives 10 the
engine of a fighter plane has
pulled many a pilot out of a
tough spot.
Now. engineers Of Thompson
Products Co. hold out hope that
the wartime motorist will get
great benefits from combination
water-alcohol injection. Vice
President A. T. Colwell, has re-
vealed that production is already
started ON an automatic device
which not only adds as much as
IS octane units TO the power OF
gas but results in created mile
age economy.
Colwell hopes TO make the
product available to motorists
generally before the end of the
year but thus far because of
material hort ages, only a
couple hundred" have been
turned out. Several big fleets of
trucks have installed the devices
and are decidedly enthusiastic"
about it, he said.
The device is known as the
vita-meter. 1t automatically in
PRODUCES a flow of water and
alcohol into the carburetor in
lection stream al times OF en-
gine strain and gives an extra
surge of power.
Besides the vita-meter. Col
well said, aids in keeping the
engine clean, eliminates hot
spots in the motor. The device
automatically turns on when
the motor starts knocking. It
fits between the carburetor and
the intake manifold. but plans
being considered call for it to
be built as part of the carbu-
rotor itself.
