Save Your Green Stamps

Save your green stamps in War Ra-
tion Book A.
They are going to be used for meats
and fats after red stamps are ex-
hausted, provided, of course, meat and
fat rationing is not discontinued first.
This was the advice of local War
Price and Ration Boards to consum-
ers today following announcement
from Washington that, effective
August 81, the Green Stamps remain
ing in Book Four would be made
valid for purchase of meats ond fats.
Green stamps AS through Ms were
originally used for purchase of pro-
cessed foods but on February q, 1914
blue stamps were substituted for
green stamps in the processed foods
program.
Five new red stamps LII through
Q-1 become valid September for
meats and fats and will be good
through December 81.
OPA considered the use Of spare
stamps in Book 4, replacing red stamps
when they are exhausted but decided
against this because of the similarity
Of spare stamps to sugar stamps.
Consumers who have lost or de-
stroyed their green stamps in Book
A will probably have to apply for re-
placement of Book a although no in
structions have been received on this
point as yet.
New radio repair service men are
required to file their service price
schedules with their local War Price
and Rationing Boards, OPA announced
today in response to many complaints
about radio service charges.
All radio service men are required
to have their prices on file. The prices
they charged in March 1912 is the
legal ceiling.
New service men starting in bust
ness determine their maximum prices
by taking the prices of their closest
competitor for the same service to a
purchaser Of the same class.
Upon request of customer service
men are required to give the purchas
er sales slip or receipt showing the
name and address, date, description
of service and price charged.

Army To Send War
Prisoners H o m e, Giving
Their Jobs To Free Workers

Washington, D. c. Requesting
that the Secretary Of Agriculture and
the War Manpower Commission urge
upon all industrial and agricultural
employers of prisoner-of-war labor
the need for immediate action to re-
place them with free labor, Under
secretary of War Robert P. Patterson
wrote:
"It is the intention of the War De-
partment to return to Europe at the
earliest practical moment all German
and Italian prisoners of war;"
On the other hand, employees re-
leased by industrial cutbacks, and
discharged military personnel, can re-
cieve great assistance from state and
federal employment agencies and vet
Grams organizations which will guide
them into agricultural and peacetime
industrial jobs, the Undersecretary
pointed out.
OF the 100000 German and Italian
POWs in this country, those who are
employable have been working on
military, naval, industrial and agri-
cultural projects. More than 5000 sick
and wounded German and Italian
prisoners of war have already been
returned to their homelands since We
Day; another 5000 sick and wounded
nonworkers are soon to go back.
Over $500 prisoners of war with
coal mining experience will go back
to Germany during August, to work
in the German mines. 1900 Italians
will be repatriated during August,
September and October.
The controlling factor in the return
Of war prisoners is the need for their
labor in the United States, since the

All the atrocious crimes committed
in years of peace, all that is spent in
peace by secret corruptions, or by the
thoughtless extravagances of nations,
are mere trifles compared with the
gigantic evils which stalk over this
world in state of war. God is for

Christianity is trampled upon.-Sidney

|browneII Tells COP
New Deal Is Extending
Policy Of Privilege
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LINCOLN, Nebr., Mar. 9.-Repub-
lican National Chairman Herbert
Brownell, jr., said last night that
new evidences of privilege under
the New Deal crop out every day in
the news headlines"
Addressing the Lancaster County
Republican Committee, Mr.. Brownell
said they included:
Special privileges in appoint
ments to high Offices for those who
walked the New Deal chalkline in
the campaign. Special trips to Mos
cow for the city bosses. Special ex-
emptions from wartime regulations
to the Petrillos. Special and ex-
cessive red tape regulations which
put small business and small agri-
culture at competitive disadvan-
tage."
Mr.. Brownell added that the New
Deal tried to work both sides of the
street and failed. One day it pro-
fesses to be for free enterprise. The
next it appropriates millions for
Government competition with pri-
vate industry"
The position of the Republican
party, he declared, must be made
clear to all beyond the shadow of
doubt. We stand for the freedom
OF choice of the individual"
He continued:
Americans have an inherent
aversion to privilege wherever we
see and recognize it. The key to
prosperity in our way of living and
in our tradition has been liberty
and opportunity, not regimentation
and privilege"
Mr.. Brownell said the new or
ganization of the National Commit
tee would be set up by April l. As
the legislative programs are de-
veloped, he added, II am confident
they will be geared to individual
initiative, creative enterprise and
expanding opportunity. The only
privilege the Republican party will
advocate will be the sacred privi-
lege of liberty and opportunity for
all
The Republican program must be
in harmony with the march of
progress, he said. I'VE want no
doctrine of RECOMMENDATION and
privilege; we want no part of an
tlquated or reactionary doctrines"

|Vinson Policy Tested
AS WLB Grants Raise
For Glass Workers
Bv JAMES Y NEWTON,

The War Labor Board today
approved for workers in the flat
glass industry a pay boost that
went beyond the liberalized
wage control policy ordered by
Fred M. Vinson as he stepped
down as stabilization director
WLB's action posed an immedi-
ate test of new fringe" pro-
cedure.
Mr.. Vinson, just before taking the
oath as Federal loan administrator
late yesterday, acted to make pos
sible the granting of four most
common types of fringe" wage
adjustments even where price in
creases result. 1t was done by
amending the Presidents hold-the-
line order, thus breaking a four
month deadlock with WLB over
fringe" issues.
The Vinson directive provided for
increased vacation benefits, shift
pay differentials where workers do
not rotate on shifts, merit increases
and automatic progression to higher
pay jobs, and increases under re-
classification of workers and re-
.evaluation of jobs.
Decision in Two Cases.
In the glass case, WLB approved
-differentials of and cents an hour
for workers on second and third
shifts, as well as more liberal vaca-
ton allowances. The decision was
made in two dispute cases involving
the entire fiat glass industry and
about 16,500 workers represented by
the CIO Federation of Glass, Ger
annie and Silica Sand Workers.
The glass workers rotate shifts, so
the action would mean a pay boost
for all. In his directive, Mr.. Vinson
made no provision for rotating shift
differentials, although similar con-
cesslon recently was allowed basic
steel workers. The glass industry,
however, has asked for price in
creases to meet the higher wages,
while in the steel case Mr.. Vinson
ruled that wage concessions would
not result in higher prices.
The improved vacation allow
ances for glass employes-a week
after a year of service and two
weeks after five years-are identical
with the new fringe" policy laid
down by Mr.. Vinson.
Mr.. Vinson set as the 'stabilizing
limit" for shift differentials in nom
continuous or nonrotating opera
tions 4 cents per hour for the second
shift and 8 cents per hour for the
third. WLB has allowed and 10
cents, respectively, for the two
shifts in cases not involving price
relief.
Merit Increase Standards.
He said merit increases and auto
matte progressions are to be allowed
on basis mo more liberal than
that embodied in the boards present
standards
ReclaSsifications and job re-eval-
uations are not to exceed an aver
age increase for all employees in the

shall continue to use it's present
safeguards to prevent such adjust

Human Element" Idea.
He credited a fellow member of
his committee, functionary of the
American Newspaper Publishers As
sociation, with the idea of the new
campaign to stimulate collections
The member, who was present, was
Tom Cathcart of This Week Maga-
zine. The idea is to inject the "hu-
man element" into collection by
using the funds from scrap paper
sales to buy things for the wounded
veterans in our hospitals.
Mr.. Cathcart spoke briefly. He
mentioned two things scrap paper
money could be used for in New
York.
Bed patients at Halloran Gen.
eral Hospital on Staten Island
could use 700 head phone sets to
hear radio programs" he said. And
a $250,000 swimming pool, which
could easily be realized by paper
collections in the community, would
help a lot of convalescent wounded
in their recovery"
Representatives of Army and Navy
medicine attended the dinner to
tell how helpful such program
would be.
Maj. Gen. George Lull, deputy
surgeon general of the Army, said
1t would be a wonderful thing
Rear Admiral j. C. Agnew, assistant
chief of the Navy's Bureau of Medi-
cine and Surgery, agreed
prie Linnc

program would be helpful in the
hospitals run by his agency.
Long Job Ahead Seen.
Basil O'Connor, national chair
man of the American Red Cross,
stressed that the shortage of paper
and other materials will not be over
when the whistle blows in this
game. When you realize the moth
ingness with which people abroad
will start-then you will not think
that they can be supplied overnight" "
Maj. Gen. Clifford l.. Corbin, dep

Army, spoke on the Importance of
paper as q critical war material.
He told how every smell OF 3-lnch

and most food has to be packed in
