WPB Order Limiting Inventories Designed to Aid Small Concerns
= . ANOTHER GOVERNMENT ORDER IS COMING lim~1ting the amount of merchandise a store can carry in stock -and the amount of material a manufacturer can have in stock. 4 Agitation for such measures has come from the smaller . Stores and manufacturers who complain the bigger ones 2gobble up all the available stock, leaving them little or noth“ing to work with.
But small business is already complaining that the WPB order, “ still to be made public although its ‘general provisions are fairly well known, is a case of locking the barn door after the horse is stolen. They say that because the order does not propose to confiscate any existing accumulations. But in a sort of “white paper” put out by the WPB, Mr. Budrow jt 5 stated that the government war agency isn’t so concerned about the little fellow as such but is worried about the uneven distribution of supplies. . The forthcoming order, as now #Planned, will limit their stock-sales ratios by quarters for the base years 1939, 1940 and 1941 and keep their current inventories geared to that .base. That, of course, applies only to civilian goods. Merchants or manufacturers witi less than $100,000 sales or $25,000 inventory in the year ending Sept. © 30, 1942, will be exempt. So will t+ food merchants, eating and drinking places, second-hand stores, florists, antique stores, service establishments, steel or other raw material warehouses, dealers in motor vehicles or replacement parts, hay-grain-feed stores, farm implement dealers, fuel merchants and importers; and BanUtantgens supplying these merchants

TRADERS BUYING ‘PEACE SHARES’
War Stocks Sold Heavily; Market Opens With A Rush.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9 (U. P.).— Favorable war news brought selling into war stocks and buying in peace issues today on the stock market. Trading began with a rush at a rate of nearly 2,000,000 shares for a full session and later quieted. The market opened on blocks of 1000 to 15,000 shares, largest in International Telephone, which made 8 new high at 6%, up . Among widest decliners were aircrafts, biggest beneficiary from a war on the basis of contracts. These stocks broke fractions to more than a point. New York Shipbuilding lost nearly a point. Steels were down fractions to more than a point. Patino (tin) Mines lost more than a point. Railroad issues, regarded as war stocks because of heavy war demand on transportation, declined fractions to more than a point. Gainers included utilities, mercantile shares, airlines, rubbers and tobaccos. Some chemicals were strong, notably Allied, which was up nearly 4 points. Oil issues held about steady. Sears Roebuck, Montgomery Ward, and Woolworth made new highs. Homestake (gold) Mining (closed by a war order) rose more than a point.

Aids War Firms
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 (U. P.).— Manpower authorities reported today that war industries have welcomed as an invaluable aid in stabilizing their labor resources the newly-announced “manning table” plan of the war manpower commission. By aiding employers to anticipate and itemize their manpower requirements, the new plan is designed to facilitate the selective service system’s occupational deferment program. It will enable local boards to withdraw for armed service workers now deferred who can be replaced without disrupting production schedules. Similarly, it will clarify the essential nature of jobs for which deferments are justified’ Officials said the tables, which must be approved by selective service and WMC officials, would list specific jobs, not specific workers, in order to prevent possible discrimination, principally against union members, when local boards begin withdrawing replaceable men for the army.

New System Is Expected To Go Into Effect After Christmas.
By ANN FRANCE WILSON Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—American housewives will learn about “points” shortly after Christmas. Point values have been put on
fice of price administration admits that the American rationing system will follow closely the British pattern.’ So, American housewives’ shopping lingo is about to change for they will discuss the “point” value of various rationed goods instead of the price. And these may vary just the way prices do. For example, if the output of peas were increased and consumption reduced, making peas more abundant, their point value might be lowered by the OPA. Thus there might be a “point bargain” sale of peas. Though the general ration books will not be distributed in large cities before the first of the year they will appear in mfddle-western and southern rural areas before Christmas, making it possible for Christmas shoppers to pick up their ration books on their one-day trip to town.
Statisticians’ Headache The new books contain stamps
n ered 1, 2, 5 and 8 units (such as pouandy, dozens and quarts) or points, hese four numbers were
not chosen by chance. Mathematical experts decided on them because they add up to more different totals than any other four numbers. In fact, card in hand, Mrs. Housewife will be able to purchase any item requiring from one to 16 points except four and 12 points. You are supposed to tear off your point coupons vertically, not horizontally. But conceivably you could make 4 points by tearing off two 2's horizontally. Possibly, there will be no rationed goods requiring four or 12 points. However, though the machinery is all set and ration books are rolling off the presses by the thousands,

ache than that of finding the four right numbers for the ration books. Now they must work out the total point value of goods on hand in order to be able to distribute them equally, since rationing means equal distribution of a limited supply.
Take beans, for example. The total point value of all beans must be compiled and then divided by the number of ration-book holders in order to divide the beans equally. OPA admits that the job of keeping the demand within the supply is no small task.
To further complicate the situation, however, points will not be allotted to foods, supposing foods are rationed, on the basis of their relative food value only. Points will also be allotted in relation to supply and demand. Here again, supposing beans were more abundant than peas and at the same time less popular. The point value of beans would then

the consumption of the more abundant commodity. In this respect point values will be able to balance supply and demand.
Meat for Sure
Meat, however, the one item which it is known will be rationed, will probably not be included in the point system. As in England, housewives will have to choose one butcher and stick by him for the duration. He will keep track of his customers’ rations and also he will be able to guage the amount of meat needed from the wholesalers for the week. Though OPA {is not mentioning any of the other goods that will definitely be rationed except coffee, it is understood that fresh vegetables and fruits will not be on the rationed list. Even in England, where food is anything but abundant, no means of rationing goods which are sold straight from the grower to the retailer or
WHEAT FUSURES SAG 2 GENTS A BUSHEL
CHICAGO, Nov. 9 (U. P.). — The |a wheat futures market broke more than two cents a bushel on the board of trade today. Rye and oats strengthened. At the end of the first hour, wheat was off % to 2% cents a
bushel, corn off4 to up %, oats up 15 to %, rye up 1% to 1%, and soybeans inactive. Favorable war news failed to stimulate buying in the wheat pit and the weak market dat Kansas City had a bearish effect on bread cereal futures. Liquidation by a large commission house contributed to the decline. Traders awaited a change in attitude toward flour ceilings on the part of the office of price administration. Corn advanced to new highl|1 ground on the opening market induced by buying of May corn by cash houses, but turned irregular. Commission houses bought rye in moderate volume.

CROSS-HAULING OF BEER TO BE BANNED
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 (U. P.).— The office of defense transportation contemplates restriction of beer deliveries to ease the wartime traffic strain upon transportation facilities resulting from cross-hauling, it was learned today. Deliveries of beer probably will be limited to small areas around the producing brewery, inasmuch as this is one commodity in which there is an exceptionally large amount of cross-hauling by railroads and other transportation
Cross-hauling, it was explained, is the practice of shipping commodities produced in one area into another area producing the same or similar commodities. Beer was

HIGHER PRICES FOR OIL SOUGHT
| [Industry Fears Shortage
But Does Not Want To Be Subsidized.
This is the third of three articles on a threatened shortage of petroleum.
By MARSHALL McNEIL Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—The oil industry and officials of the government dealing with petroleum prob-
the oil shortage with which the nation is threatened. They aré unanimous in the belief that there must be more exploratory drilling—more “wildcatting”— to discover additional petroleum reserves, and that processes for developing substitutes for oil should be sought. How to bring this about is quite another problem. The industry has its answer: Higher prices. But thus far, although it has been carrying on a vigorous campaign for many months, it has not convinced Leon Henderson, the price administrator, that an increase is justified. If there must be more drilling, Mr, Henderson suggests a government subsidy. The oil men’s argument is this: Costs of drilling have gone up. Labor is hard to get. Civilian consumption is being curbed. There must be more wildcatting, and this can be best achieved by making wildcatting profitable again. But Mr. Henderson takes the position that neither the earnings reports of oil operators nor the cost
seem to warrant a general increase He mentioned the subsidy alternative, Bert Aston of Roswell, N. H., testifying before the O’Mahoney committee of the senate, gave this answer to the subsidy proposal, and he might have been speaking for the entire industry:
Ickes Doesn’t Say
“The oil man doesn’t want a subsidy,” he said. “He isn’t that kind of an animal. He doesn’t want the government or anyone else to subsidize him. All we need is an adequate price for our oil.” ~ The National Conference of Regulatory Bodies—public agencies that regulate the oil industry in the various states—passed a resolution stating its position this way:
lack of drilling and exploration work; and “That provisions be made at an early date for an increase in price on crude oil whereby the producers may be given an added incentive for making new discoveries.” Secretary of the Interior Ickes, the petroleum co-ordinator for war, hasn’t said that an oil price increase is absolutely necessary. But he has said that the whole situation as to price should be restudied. Senator Joseph O'Mahoney ' (D. Wyo.), whose committee has been investigating the industry, has not said that a price increase is necessary, although he seems to lean that way. What he did recommend was that the government, through the Reconstruction Finance Corp., start immediately the financing of wildcatters. “The nation’s need for new oil reserves is so great,” he said, “that the operator who already has good oil property should be able to offer that property as security to the RFC for a loan to be paid back over a sufficient term of years, provided the advance is to be used in the exploration of new fields.”
Cole Lends Support
Former Representative William P. Cole (D. Md.) in a long report on
-»|0il to President Roosevelt, said there
'|was no other way to assure ourselves of adequate supplies of oil than to see that oil producers get at least cost of production for their petroleum. “For lack of foresight,” he wrote
in the East Indies and in Burma to | deny this precious product (oil) to our enemies—let us not deny it to ourselves by failure to develop oil before its shortage is a catastrophe. There are several ways that this can be accomplished. “By the government itself drilling —the most inefficient, uncertain, and expensive. “By subsidy—subject to endless delays and the hazards of favoritism. “And lastly, by an increase in the price of oil, slightly above the cost of production. ‘This last method is certain, is free of complications, and follows our traditional economic system. “It is of paramount importance . « . that we look at our drilling campaign now for our supplies of petroleum in the autumn of 1944.” In addition, Mr. Cole recommended that the government wildcat the indicated large oil reserves of Alaska, saying this could not be
