will Be Secret Until Jan. |
BY the Assoeioted Press

OPA officials said today they will
keep secret until January the
number of the new sugar ration
stamp which will become valid then
to prevent users from spending
it in advance.
The new stamp will be good for
S pounds of sugar from the first of
the year until April 30. Current
individual stamp No. 81 and home
canning stamps 9 and 10 will expire
December 81.
Although OPA said yesterday a
second stamp also might be vail
dated during the first quarter OF
1947, Agriculture Department Off
cials said they doubted this could be
done before April /. BY that time
the size of next years sugar crop
and of Cuban imports can be taken
into account.
OPA announced industrial sugar
allotments for the first quarter OF
l947 will be the same as for the last
quarter Of 1916, and institutional
allotments for January and Febru-
ary will be unchanged.

The Methodist Church will spend
more than 500 .000, 900 in new build
ings to cope with shifting popula-
tion trends, DR.. Earl r. Brown,
home missions executive secretary
of the church, predicts.
DR.. Brown. addressing the an

tiens, noticeable back-to-the-farm
movement spurred on by returning
veterans, has found churches un-
able to cope with the added popula-
ton.
New church facilities are needed

nation projects, he went on. as vel
as in city areas where foreign
groups have been replaced by new
generation and Northern communi.

WOODSTOCK, Iowa, Dec. IL
The Francis Newburn Farm family
isn't planning to spend Christmas
in the British Embassy in Washing
ton even If such an invitation from
Lord Inverchapel, British Ambassa-

ports of the invitation, Mrs. New

"Why We haven't even been asked" !"
Lord Inverchapel said in New York
last night, however, he had written
the Newburns inviting them to
Washington, but would not say
when the letter was sent. He said
he had not yet received reply.
Anyway, Mrs, Newburn told news
men, even if the family had been
invited I'm afraid it would be i'm
possible to CO."

Threat Of Rain Ceases,
Skies 10 Clear Today

Reversing an earlier prediction OF
rain, the Weather Bureau today
promised clearing skies this after
noon, with temperatures in the
middle Sos.
The threat of rain diminished
with a shift of the wind here from
southwest to north during the night.
Though the northerly breezes
brought cooler weather, today's ex-
pected high Of about SIS degrees is
well above normal December levels.
Tonight the clouds will come back,
according to the forecaster, and a
low around 50 degrees is anticipated. d.
Rain probably will fall tomorrow,
he said.
Yesterdays high of IS degrees
was not a record, although it came
within 2 degrees of the alltime De-
cember high registered in 1889. The

Fear Of Regilnenfation
Blocks Construction,
Senate Group Hears
BY the Assoeiotcd Press

Ralph Harrison, president OF the
Nashville (Tenn.) Contractors AS
sociation, showed Senate sub
committee two-inch stack OF regu-
lations today and said they all ap-
piled to his small millwork plant.
II have counted these sheets and
there are 430 here which apply
only to us in the millwork business
Harrison said. "It is impossible to
expect small businesses like ours,
which are the backbone OF Amer
lea, to exist under such regimerta-
ton"
Mr.. Harrison was the first OF a
group of businessmen who urged
the complaints subcommittee OF
the Senate Small Business Commit
tee to recommend that all controls
over construction be removed.
New Housing Limits Feared.
He said this is necessary to "elim-
mate the fear in the minds of
businessmen that perhaps new
housing expediter will take over who
will impose impossible restrictions
on them"
A resolution by the Nashville Con-
| tractors Association calling for the
removal of controls was presented
to the committee by Mr.. Harrison,
who said Endorsements of this posi-
ton had been received from other
associations throughout the coun-
try and from such groups as real
estate boards and architects asso-
Citations.
AS an example of the way he said
controls are hampering the hous-
ing program, Mr. Harrison said his
firm made doors for veterans
houses, but found it could not buy
fir plywood for panels because fac
tories are directed to ship most Of
their output to prefabricators.
Cost of Doors Raised.
| As result, he said, his company
had to use hardwood plywood cost
ing three times as much, which
raised the cost of veterans houses
accordingly.
The hearing will continue through
Saturday. Government officials and
Representatives of veterans crgan-
izations also will testify.
Senator Stewart, Democrat, OF
Tennessee, chairman of the subcom-
mittee, said the purpose"of the hear
| ing is to draw "a clear line between
the arguments in favor of decontrol
and those that insist on the reten-
ton and strengthening of existing
icontrols as the sole means OF pro-
viding homes for veterans"

u. 5. Survey Reveals
Major Health Problem
In Coal Nine Areas
BY tho As.oeioisd Press

A Government survey In coal min
ing communities has disclosed seri-
Gus sanitation and health problems,
the chief investigator disclosed to-
day.
Rear Admiral j. T. Boone, direc-
tor of a health survey for the Solid
Fuels Administration, made the re-
port In an address which he gave
at Chicago yesterday before q closed
meeting of the American Medical
Association House Of Delegates. He
made public the text Of the speech
here today.
Five field survey teams. composed
OF Navy medical officers, visited
mine communities in "a coal States.
Admiral Boone, himself physician,
told the Chicago meeting:
What we have seen can assure
you is rightly a concern Of the spe-
cialists in Chicago and New York
as well as the general practitioner
in isolated Appalachian regions.
Diseases originating in rural and
mining communities can be and
frequently are spread to urban
centers."
Reports Still Incomplete.
Observing that reports have not
yet been completed, and that he was
speaking from personal obserya-
tions, the admiral added:
THE apparent weaknesses in pub
lie health programs in the Nations
coal mining regions are deeply dis
tHrbing. Elementary control meas
ures in many instances are COM
pletely lacking.
There are exceptions, but guess
that as a general rule coal mining
communities, particularly in the
more densely populated and heavily
productive coal areas, are deficient
in such essential measures as ade-
quate water supply controls, proper
disposal Of sewage and garbage, rea-
sonable safeguards against contami-
nation from human and animal
wastes, projections in food and milk
handling and insect and rodent
control measures.
Although a number of coal min
ing communities, owned and oper-
ated by the larger and more pro-
gressive coal companies, seemed to
be as sanitary and healthful as our
better incorporated cities, they are
too few in number and stand out as
exceptions to the rule"
Health Agencies Handicapped.
Admiral Boone said State health
agencies are handicapped by made
quate powers of enforcement, espe-
cially in communities on privately
owned property.
I'm the coal communities I visited
I have inquired into participation in
public health work by the company
doctor and other private practition-
ers, and I have been very disap-
pointed to learn that except for
school health programs of immuni-
zation, physicians have evidenced
very little interest in public health
work and preventive medicine" Ad-
miral Boone said.
These same doctors have not even
as rule undertaken their response
bilities as enlightened citizens"
Admiral Boone said company doc
tors in coal regions were extreme
ly busy with the practice of curative
medicine" and hesitate to assume
a leadership" in preventive health
matters.

ing, banking and climbing. He few
for 19 minutes, not quite 7 under
power, and made perfect landing
with his fuelless engine idle.
The planes power is measured in
terms of thrust, rather than horse
power. But r. M. Stanley, Eric,
Okla, Bells chief engineer and de-
signer of the plane, said by the only
available means of comparison the
engine could be said to develop 30,-
900 horsepower. 1t burns ethyl alco-
hol, oxidized by liquid oxygen.
The engine Is unbelievably small
to generate such tremendous
thrust. Without fuel it weighs only
2l0 pounds, and its overall length
Is 56 inches. The plane is smaller
than the average fighter. measuring
81 feet from tail to tip, with wing
span OF only 28 feet.
Army authorities emphasized at a
press conference that the plane, of
almost conventional design, was not
designed as a fighter, a bomber or
any other particular type Of craft.
ITS mission is purely and specifically
to- permit investigation Of the super
sonic speed ranges.

La Guardia Clashes
with Soviet Delegate
lon UNRRA in Korea
By MoIcoIm Lomborne, Jr.

American and Russian delegates
and UNRRA Director General La
Guardia today clashed in heated
argument over future plans for the
relief organization and the United
States role in winding up remaining
relief programs.
The lengthy debate at the second
day meeting of the 48-nation
UNRRA Council in session at the
Shoreham Hotel brought these de-
velopments:
/. American Delegate Tyler Wood
declared this country had no inten-
tion OF taking unilateral action in
working out relief programs still
outstanding as implied by Soviet
Delegate N. I. Feonov.
2. Mr.. La Guardia answering
charges Of Mr.. Feonov that UNRRA
had shown lack of faith in render
ing aid to Korea. blamed the situ-
alton on the attitude OF the Soviet
commander in the Russian-occupied
zone of that country.
April Meeting Opposed.
3. The United States and Great
Britain joined in opposing Rus
sian proposal that the UNRRA
Council meet again next April.
Mr.. La Guardia appealed to the
delegates not to wind up their meet
ing in spirit Of diSsension.
An American general who served
under Gen. Eisenhower in North
Africa and later in Europe is con-
sidered the most likely successor to
Mr.. La Guardia, who is expected
to submit his resignation Friday.
He is Maj. Gen. Lowell w. Rocks
of Arlington, chief executive assist
ant to Mr.. La Guardia. He has been
with UNRRA since last January.
Served in Both Wars.
Gen. Rocks was named by Gen.
to supervise the formal
of the German high
command just after We day. He
served in both World Wars and
comes from the State Of Washing
ton. @
Mr.. La Guardia told reporters,
following an address yesterday be-
fore the Council, that his plans for
the future called for him to think,
write and talk"
Politics on Food Denied.
The retiring director general
lashed out at critics of UNRRA,
saying. among other things, that
any one who claimed the organiza-
ton played politics with food was
mot telling the facts accurately"
He added: II do not know of a sim
gle instance, of any case, of politics
being played in the ALLEGATION OF

Wisconsin Governor
Won't Order Troops
Out on Strike Duty
BY the Assoeioted Press

MILWAUKEE,, Dec. II. = Gov
Walter S. Goodland said in Madi-
son today he would not send troops
to the strike-bound Allis- Chalmers
Manufacturing Co. plant in West
Allis unless notified by Sheriff
George Hanley of Milwaukee Coun-
ty. that he cannot cope with the
situation"
The troops had been requested
by Mayor Arnold r. Klentz OF West
Allis, who said lives were threat
ened.
!, The sheriff said last night that
the situation was under control and
that he believed 300 trained law
enforcement officers could control
the situation better than the State
Guard"
Gov. Goodland's statement issued
today said:
Il am keeping in close contact
with Sheriff Hanley upon whom
rests the responsibility for main
tanning law and order in Milwaukee
County.
Reported Situation Under Control.
when Sheriff Hanley informs me
that he cannot cope with the situ-
alton I shall not hesitate to give
every assistance which the State of
Wisconsin can provide"
Sheriff Hanley's report to the
Governor yesterday stated that the
situation at the plant, scene of
street warfare between demonstra-
tors and police Monday, now was
under control.
Meanwhile, new independent
union-the Independent Workers of
AlliS- Chalmers - announced it had
petitioned the State Employment Re-
lations Board for a new bargaining
election.
The new union was headed by
Lester E. Petersen and claimed mem
bership of 3,400 workers who have
returned to their jobs The union
was formed, according to Mr.. Peter
sen, after the international head
quarters of the CIO United Auto
Workers Union took no action on a
petition to remove officers of striking
Local 248. /
Advises Firm President.
/. Mr. Petersen said Walter Geist, |
Allis- Chalmers president, had been
advised by the new group mot to
enter into any collective bargaining |
agreement with any other organiza-
tion until the issue of representation
has been dissolved"
{, Sheriff Hanley's telegram drew a
strong retort from Milwaukee's
chief of police, John w. Polcyn.
Several hundred Milwaukee police
men have been deputized by the
sheriff for strike duty, and the
action has drawn several recent re-
Dukes from Milwaukee City and
police officials.
Chief Polcyn declared "the Cover
nor had better realize he must fur
nish help in this situation, or else
he and Sheriff Hanley can assume
responsibility for bloodshed and
possible loss of life in future riots
which may come sooner than Sheriff
Hanley expects"
Chief Polcyn asserted that "about
so" Milwaukee policemen were laid
up now because of injuries received |
on strike duty and added ''it's
simple matter for Sheriff Hanley to
say we don't need troops because he
thinks all he has to do is use our
men to carry the brunt of the battle.
Well, our men are darned sick and
tired of it,
Local 248 has been on strike at the
