IAnti-Hoarding Order
lis Due Soon From
| New Production Unit

First curbs on industry in the
country's new control system are
due soon from the newly created
National Production Authority.
This is an inventory control
order designed to prevent hoard
ing of scarce materials needed in
| the defense effort.
officials of the Production Au-
thority. set up in the Commerce
Department to administer part of
the control powers invested by
Congress in the President, said the
order would contain:
/. A scarcity list" of materials
which threaten to cause bottle
necks in the expanding arms pro-
duction program. 1t is expected
at least II products will be in
cluded-steel, aluminium, natural
| and synthetic rubber, cement,

copper. lead. leather goods. lum-
ber, paper, wool and zinc.
2. A broadly worded prohibition
against amassing more than a
normal operating supply of the
scarce items.
The home-front mobilization
legislation under which the new
system of controls are being
established provides penalties of
a year in prison or $4,000 fine,
or both, for violation of such
orders.
Ofhcials said the immediate aim
of the inventory order would be
to bar unreasonable stocking up
by firms of individual business
men trying to protect themselves
against future price rises or pos
|sible shortages-or by those who
hope to profit by selling materials
at gray market" prices.
Another order-establishing basic
priorities regulations-is expected
soon, perhaps next week.

The greatest two-mile relay

disposal three men who have done
the half-mile in 1855 and three
others who are fractions of a
second only over that mark. Six
OF his squad. at least, are under
1855.
Seton Hall, with Don Cheek,
Dave Evans. Jerry Grassi, Ed
McArdle and Phil Thigpen, one of
the most consistent winners of the
1.000-yard run in the country
could pick any four from this
group and come up with a team
which would be capable of push
ing Syracuse into record breaking
time to win.
The dark horse of the race is
Georgetown. Coach Frank Sevinge
is not saying much but his face
is wreathed in smiles when he
watches his half-milers work out.
He will select four from a group
composed of Jim Rams, Pat
O'Brien, Dave Smith, Joe Deadly
and John Lynch. If Georgetown
doesn't win, the winner will have
to be sensational to keep the
Hoyas away from top honors.
Michigan. Coach Confident.
Don Canham. the Michigan
coach. isn't saying much either,
but the track men from the Mid
west have a habit of coming up
with a surprise when not an
ticipated. Don merely says, "Well
be pretty good" which in the un-
derstating habit of speech of track
coaches means he thinks hi team
will be terrific.
There is a possibility that Jim
Elliott will bring down two-mile
team from Villanova which could
press the other four and perhaps
take top honors. He has jim,
McKenna. a consistently good
half-miler;; George Thompson
who won last years Touchdown
Club 1000 in The Star Games
and Browning Ross, who won the
first mile here in 1948. Among
his other runners he is certain to
be able to pick up at least one
more good half miller.
At any rate, Washington fans
can look forward to a sensational

the factory celebration, was devel-
oped by Arthur Godfrey. On his
radio and television programs be-
fore the plant visit he had been
telling his audience that they could
be "their own cigarette experts"
by checking the mild aroma of a
pack Of Chesterfelds against any
other cigarette. In the factory,
where thousands of pounds of
blended tobaccos we're being made
into cigarettes, Godfrey pointed
out that the pure, mild aroma,
which was everywhere, was the
same aroma to be found in a pack
age of Chesterfields anywhere.
When local tobacco farmers agreed
that they always use the aroma
test, Arthur's associates were
"sold" on the idea that it was a
simple, effective way to determine
the mildness Of a cigarette. It was
another example of what one of
the nations leading magazines
meant in a recent cover story on
ArA'~-> E~'~r, when thov re-
