Drastic New Curbs

WASHINGTON. Jan. 12-(P)
The War Production Board

The additional tightening, a
government source said today,
will have the effect of "wiping

of the consumer projects already
authorized under the spot recon

This will result from a sharp
cut in the ALLEGATION of metals
for the program. due TO greatly
expanded military requirements.
Moreover, WPB field offices
have been instructed 10 be very

Goal Delivery
Poses Problem
offieioIs Urged
to Aid Public

Macomb County supervisors
this week were the recipients of
urgent pleas to come to the res
cue of families in rural and SUBJ
division areas unable to obtain
coal deliveries.
The appeal originated with
Mrs. Russell Stark, of the Volun-
teer Office of Civilian Defense,
and was transmitted TO the board
by Sherwood j. Bennett, county
controller.
Regardless of whether a short
age of coal is impending, it was
pointed out, a definite shortage
of coal trucks and truck drivers
exists. Many families, including
some whose menfolks have
gone to war, have suffered
greatly during the recent cold
spell.
Reports of such hardships
flooded the CD Volunteer Of
flee recently, and Mrs. Stark,
Bennett reported, telephoned
city, village and township public
works departments and asked
them to haul coal to relieve the
danger of invalids or children
suffering. A good response was
achieved.
Mrs. Stark's plea to the super
visors, offered by Bennett, ask
ed all supervisors, whether rep
resenting townships or cities, to
aid this emergency work. All

An East Detroit representative
stated that his city has been per-
