has received a communication
from Mrs. H. Ridgely Harring-
ton, Kent County chairman, sta
ting that shirts and pajamas
for U. S. Tank Forces we're in
urgent demand, and that Della
ware had received twice the
amount of materials to make
these articles formerly agreed
to. Mrs. Harris reports that
if this additional quota is to
be met, more Smyrna volm-
teer workers are needed to
complete the job. Although the
sewing group, under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Charles P. Thorn
ley, has dwindled during the
holidays, Mrs. Harris express
sed the belief that many women
who have been sewing for the
Red Cross will resume work.
This however, she said, will
not be enough workers to fill
the quota critically needed by
the expanding army. The sewing
group is vacating the Legion
Room here, due to lack of
heat, and for the present, will
meet at the home ofMrs. Fred
erick Harris, East Commerce

The quarantine against entry
of residents of the Amish COL
ony in the Dover area into
Dover as a precaution against
an outbreak of smallpox was
lifted Tuesday morning, DR..
Joseph S. Mcdaniel, president
of the Dover Board of Health
announced. DR.. E. F. Smith,

vised that the quarantined A

leased from control. No cases

ban on entry of members of
the sect, effected by procla-
nation of Major ]. Wallace

Householders who have re-
fused to redeem coupon credit
notes" issued to their dealers
for purchases of fuel oil in the
30-state rationed area today
were warned by the OPA that
they face suspension of their
rations. The coupon credit pro-
cedure was devised by OPA to
enable householders and other
users of rationed fuel oil to
obtain supplies between Oc-
tober l and the date they re-
ceived their official rations
from the local boards. Those
buying fuel oil on this basis
promised to redeem the coupon
credit notes by surrendering an
equivalent amount of ration cou-
pons as soon as they received
their allotments. HouseholderS
and other consumers who have
failed to redeem their coupon
credit will be requested in writ
ing by the local board to sur
render the amount of coupons
which are due. If the consumer
fails to redeem promptly, the
suspension of the individuals
ration may be ordered and the
entire ration recalled.
All commercial building
which can convert to coal in the
80 States where fuel oil is
being rationed today we're given
the choice of converting or
losing their rations by the end
of this month. In a message
being sent to every local board,
Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson said the fuel oil situa :
tion IS worse and that boards
should terminate all rations for
oil from apartment houses, the
atres, office buildings and any
other structure except a pri-
vate dwelling unless:
/. Written proof is presen-
ted that arrangements have been
made for conversion by def
mate date within the current
heating season.
2. The applicant has proved
conclusively that conversion is
impossible.
"Too many owners of COM
mercial buildings have been
gambling on the leniency OF
their Government in the matter
of conversion" MIR. Henderson
said. ''They are going to lose.
There will be heatless buildings
as a result, but fuel oil is toe
| precious to permit its waste
by property owners who shrug
off their Governments require
ments and think the whole thing
is joke.

the West must have come over
the opposition Of many Of these
same critics.
There Is q consensus among
American officials that Mr.
KhruShchev now Is committed
politically at home to raising
rapidly the living standard Of
the Russian consumer. TheS
believe Mr.. Khrushchev badly
needs a calm International eli
mate TO allow him freedom al
home to push through his OBJ
viously controversial economic
programs.

says it is in the United States
national interest to sell wheat
to Russia, If only to make sure
the Soviet people remain "fat
cats" and preoccupied with
raising their standard of living

official said.

in the press that party bureau

tensive type Of cultivation re-
CURED by fertilizers would lead
10 chaos on the farms. They
said that rapid introduction Of
modern methods. instead Of In
creaSing production. might
have the opposite effect.
And finally, the e economic
planners warned that fertilizers,
while not expensive in them
selves, require sub stantial
secondary investments whic b
Mr.. Khrushchev might have
overlooked.
In a major speech published
last week, Mr.. Khrushchev said
that although his economic
planners were still reluctant to
allocate more money for fer
tilizers, he had demanded that
they put aside about 4 billion
rubles. In addition, he said Z
billion were necessary for irri-
cation.
Added to Purchases
These expenditures come on
top of nearly 81 billion that the
Soviet government has allocat-
ed for purchasing wheat from
Western countries this year.
Experts here believe that this
represents a considerable drain
on Soviet gold reserves, esti-
mated as between $4.5 and So
billion. They say that the deci-
sion to purchase the wheat in

have an overly simplified view
of the beneficial effects Of
mineral fertilizers, some experts
believe. 1t is highly possible
that at this time next year,
Russia win again face an agri-
cultural crisis, and that could
mean a grave political crisis for
