House : Committee Deletes "F. D. R. Request for Resources Board.”
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 (U. P)— The house appropriations committee, approving a $2,621,104379 ap-
| propriations bill for independent of-
fices for the fiscal year 1944, today cut off without a penny President Roosevelt's national resources planning board which has been making post-war studies. The committee’s drastic action was taken without explanation. Nowhere in the report was the resources Dp! board mentioned, except in a table showing the president’s request for $1,400,000 for it for the year beginning next July. The committee recommended nothing. Congress appropriated $774,422 for: the board in 1943. In testimony before an appropriations subcommittee the board
officials based their request for
funds on “the need for preparation of plans—not only for winning the war but also for winning the peace.” The independent offices bill was reported to the house after the committee had cut’ only $6,448,206 from the amount requested by Mr. Roosevelt for his executive office and for other independent agencies. It was the second appropriations bill to come before this congress and both represented insignificant reductions under budget estimates. The first bill—for the treasury and postoffice departments — was cut only $10,848,510 by the committee.
Only 8 Pct, for Non-War Work
In its report on the independent offices bill today, the committee estimated that 92 per cent of the total would be for war purposes. More than half of the total—$l1,280,780,000—is for the maritime commission “Which is engaged in an all-out war effo The biggest cut made by the committee was in the budget estimate for the civil service commission— $1,814,000, most of which was cut from the commission’s estimate of needs for national defense activities. The second biggest was ‘elimination of the $1,400,000 requested for the national resources planning board. All other reductions were less than a million dollars.
Employment to Pass 3 Million
Testimony before the appropriations subcommittee during hearings on the bill revealed: The the government expects to have 3,572,000 civilian employees by June 30,1944, compared with 2,750,101 on Nov. 30, 1942, the date of the latest official figures. By June of this year civil service officials estimated that 2,972,000 people would be on federal payrolls. " That Chairman Emory S. Land of the maritime commission is confident that the 1943 shipbuilding goal of 16,000,000 fons will be achieved unless material shortages interferes. He expects 4403 ships of all types to be completed in the

Advances in costs of ingredients and packaging made the new price ceilings on these items necessary, the OPA said. While bread is the largest sale item for baker wholesalers, it constitutes only about 20 per cent of the small bakery’s total sales. : The price on bread is not affected by the order, with the March, 1942, ceilings continuing. Cookies are excluded from the order, too
EJ » os Mail Gasoline Forms Marion county rationing boards are now mailing out forms to all persons holding B and C gasoline ration cards which expire about March 1. Form R-543 is being mailed and if there is no material change in the applicants’ mileage requirements he should fill out the form and mail it together with his tire inspection record, to his board. A renewal book will be mailed to him before the deadline, If there is a material change in mileage requirements the applicant must fill out form R-535 and present it with his tire inspection record to his rationing board. . Employees who have received their supplemental gasoline. book from their plant transportation committee will again receive the supplemental allotment’ through it. Alex L. Taggart, county rationing administrator, again warned motorists to display but one sticker, A,BorC. “Holders of B and C. supplemental books must bear in mind that they have a total of 90 miles a month ‘for npn-occupational purposes. Check-ups’ will be made from time to time and any person found using ‘his gasoline illegally will be subject to the loss of his entire ration,” Mr. Taggart said.
# ” os Ceiling Put on Grates Indiana fuel oil users co-operat-ing in the government program to convert to coal heating today were provided with a more convenient method of afScertaining conversion costs. State office of price administration officials were notified by the OPA in Washington that special combination grates, recently developed by manufacturers for installation in heating boilers being converted from use of oil to coal, have been placed under dollars and cents ceilings, effective Thursday. The maximum prices set forth in the measure cover 19 new types of assembly units in addition to the three types already specifically covered by the regulation. The prices, varying from $34.95 to $59.95, reflect differences in sizes, capacities, operating features and installation costs.
o ® 8 War Necessity Vehicles To be considered a’ commercial motor vehicle and thus qualify for a certificate of war necessity, a private passenger car converted to haul property must meet three basic requirements, George F. Burnett, Indianapolis district manager of the office of defense transportation, said today. The requirements are: 1. The operator of the vehicle must actually require a property carrying vehicle in the conduct of his business, 2. Such structural changes as were made to convert the operator's passenger vehicle into a property carrying vehicle must have been made for the bonafide purpose of transporting property essential to the conduct of the operator’s business. 3. The vehicle must have undergone a genuine structural change, reasonably permanent in nature, so that property, rather than passengers will be transported on a reasonably permanent basis. Burnett emphasized that even if the conversion met the first two requirements but- was not a permanent structural change, the vehicle would be ineligible for a certificate of war necessity. He said that a rebuilt passenger car, used by a salesman primarily for the purpose of carrying samples not designed for resale, will not be considered a commercial motor vehicle eligible for a certificate, ® = = Ease Bicycle Sales Dealers and distributors who wish to dispose of bicycle stocks may do so through “upstream” or “crossstream” sales without restriction, effective Thursday, James D. Strickland, state OPA director, said today. Under this provision, & dealer may sell to another dealer or to a distributor, and one distributors may sell to another. Either may sell to a manufacturer. However, “downstream” transfers— from a manufacturer, or from distributor to dealer—still are restricted as before.
