war and later in another theater and what the strength of the principal effort should be and where it should strike is manifestly the re-

sponsibility of the allied staff,” he

‘said. = “T believe the superior talerits of these military minds utilizing all the information at their disposal ‘covering the strength and weak‘nesses of the enemy as well as our own will result in the correct decision. And while I defend the ‘right of any citizen to speak out, I do believe Americans may rest

assured that our own military de-

~ pisions will be made by our finest experts.” + Col. Drysdale stressed the need for continuous effort on the home front. “At Pt. Harrison,” he said, “we have a slogan which may apply to every American—if it won’t help win the war, forget it.”” He said that if George Washington were here today he would back this war to the limit. . “He would wholeheartedly respond to rationing and the: prin“ciple of selective service. He would reject the idea of parents who want * their sons to fight at home. The war will be won on foreign battle- - fields,” the colonel declared.

Americans Plan 1000- Plane Raids

ROOSEVELT ON RADIO TONIGHT

1944 Presidential Race Shaping Up; Willkie Boom Sensed in Indiana.

Ark., where he had gone for a brief vacation, said he had no comment. " At the same time the executive board of the United Retail, Wholesale ‘and Department Store Employees of America, a C. I. O. affililate with 120,000 members, adopted in New York a resolution urging “all workers and farmers,” to unite to promote a fourth term for Mr. Roosevelt. It was significant that the first public demand for a third Roosevelt term in 1939 came from a Middlewest union,

It’s No Surprise Reports that Willkie is consjdering seeking the G. O. P. nomination caused no surprise here since most observers have reckoned him a potential candidate for some months. But reports that the Republican organization in Indiana was lining up for Willkie gave new importance to the man who polled 22,304,000 votes in 1940 to Mr. Roosevelt's 27,243,000. Willkie polled more votes that time than any previous losing or winning candidate but one—Mr. Roosevelt.

CANNED FOODS CUT OVER HALF

Expected to Be Sent Still Higher.

(Continued from Page One).

son has 48 points, so a family of three, for: instance, has 144 points

to spend in a“month. ‘Among the highest point-value items on the list are dried prunes snd raisins. A pound package of each “costs” 20 points. . The lowest point values are set for baby foods. A four or five-ounce can is valued at only one point, and a can of from 5% to nine ounces at two points. Mr. Brown said the point values reflect a critical shortage of canned and processed foods available for civilian consumption in 1943 and 1944. The shortage, he said, is due principally to heavy requirements of the armed forces at home and abroad as well as to lend-lease shipments. “The civilian population,” he said, “will have 254,000,000 cases of canned fruits and vegetables available for their use from March 1 this year to the end of September, 1944. This will mean a little more than 13,000,000 cases a month for civilian consumption for the next 19 months. The civilian population had almost 30,000,000 cases a month for their use during the 1941-42 year. “This means we will be eating less than half as much canned and processed foods as we ate the previous year,” Mr. Brown said. OPA officials said the present point values were set on the basis of known supplies and estimated consumer tastes. They admitted that the points were fixed on the assumption that not all members of the civilian population will use all their points. They added that stocks are large enough to enable every coupon io be honored even if the entire population uses all its points, but warned this would mean a stiff increase in point values for April and subsequent months,

May Grow Tougher

Officials warned also that any modifications of the general scheme of point values in forthcoming months are likely to be in the direction of increased toughness rather than relaxation. In other words, you are not likely to get more than the present ration of canned goods for the duration, and you may get considerably less. There will be modifications each month of point values according to supply and demand. For example, if there is a heavy demand for canned peas, the point value will be raised in April. (This is merely an illustration and does not mean that the value of peas will be changed.) : The actual job of fixing points was handled by OPA’s food rationing division under the direction of Harold B. Rowe. It was completed only Feb. 14. Printing plants throughout the country then began printing the point value charts, which will be posted: in food stores, as, soon as the official figures could be transmitted to them.

Grocers’

Registration for Rationing

Book 2 Starts Tomorrow,

, (Continued from Page One)

Don’t count containers holding less than eight ounces. Don’t count canned or glassed foods you put up yourself. Don’t count canned olives, canned meat or fich, pickles, relish, jellies, jams, preserves, spaghetti, macaroni or noodles, Don’t count dried. or foods. You are now ready to fill out the form. First, under the heading “Coffee,” in the blank space at the right of number 1, write in the number of pounds of coffee you had on hand Nov. 28, less 1 pound for every member of the family, 14 years of age or older. You were told to make a note of coffee on hand Nov. 28 when coffee rationing began. If there are five members of your family—Pop, Mom, Grandpa, a boy of 18 and a girl of 12—you would be entitled to have four pounds of coffee on hand.

“0” OR “NONE”

If you had only one pound or less for each person over 14, you would print a big “O” in the blank space, or write “None.” If you had six pounds of coffee on hand and there were four members of your family over 14, you would enter in the blank space the figure “2.” v

frozen

= ” »

If you have lost your Nov. 28 inventory of coffee on your shelves, or if you can’t rémember it, they’ll probably ask you to guess. Second, enter in the blank space at the right of question 2, the number of people in your household bver 14 years of age for whom a war ration book 1 was issued. In the five-member family given above as an example, the number to enter would be “4.” The 12-year-old daughter would have a book for sugar, but could get no coffee. Third, figure out the number of cans of goods you're entitled to have on hand. Suppose your inventory shows that you have on the pantry shelves four cans of fruits, eight cans of vegetables, six cans of vegetable juice, five cans of soup, one jar of chili sauce and three bottles of catsup. That adds up to 27 units. All right, there are five members of the typical family as listed above. They're entitled to have on hand five cans per person, or a total of 25. So, in the blank space at the right of question 3, the correct figure to enter would be “2.” (27 minus 25.)

List Family Members

Fourth, put in the blank space opposite question 4, the number of

persons for whom you are making

application for book 2. In the family example given, the humber would be “5.” Finally, print the names of the members of your family and opposite each name put the serial number appearing on the war ration book 1 issued for that person. Sign your name and put in the

address, and then you're all set to

go register for your book 2. Be

sure to take this consumer declaration form with you, and also the war ration book 1 for every person for whom you're applying for a book 2. If you don’t take the book 1 with you, you won't be given-a book 2. ’ As a warning, note that the penalty for making a false statement on this form is 10 years imprisonment, or $10,000 fine, or both. On the basis of the consumer declaration, one eight-point stamp will be detached from book 2 for each can over the allowed amount of five cans, bottles and jars for each member of the family.

24 Maximum Deduction

However, the maximym deduction of stamps is 24, and should the value of the consumer’s supply exceed 24 stamps, the surplus will be recorded on the book and additional stamps detached from later books. Deductions also will be made from ration book 1 for every pound of coffee in excess of the slowed amount. Under the point rationing system, each rationing period is one month and coupons totaling 48 points from each ration book 2 may be spent during that time. The applicant is required only to show his war ration book 1 when he registers. Books will be returned to him with the gssuance of book 2 and will still be used for coffee, sugar and shoes. Special Rules Set Up Special registration rules have, been set up for certain cases. A person not confined in an institution or not receiving subsistence in organized messes in the armed services, but who will be absent from the family group for more than 30 days, must register for himself. If a consumer is not a member of a family group, he must register and apply for his own book except that applications for minors should be made by the parent, guardian or a responsible person over 18. A consumer is not eligible to obtain book 2 if he is confined in a hospital, asylum, prison or similar institution, whether public or private, or while he .is enrolled in the armed services and is receiving sub-, sistence in organized messes. Consumers who are incapacitated so as to be unable to register for themselves may have registration made for them by a responsible adult whom they designate.

Extra Points Allowable

Certain consumers may obtain additional points allowances if the 48 points allowance is not sufficient. Application for additional points must be made to the local war price and rationing board, accompanied by a doctor’s certificate explaining why extra processed foods are needed and stating the amount required. Where such applications are allowed, special certificates, valid for 60 days, will be issued. Provision also is made in the regulations for the return of books.

Showdown Near on Issue Of Removing Institutions

From System. (Continued from Page One)

board’s operation of the system in the welfare ‘and heaith ‘departments where the continued flow of federal aid funds depends upon continuation of -employment based on merit rating. According to Rep. Earl B. Techemeyer (R. Indianapolis), a member of the group seeking to remove institutional employees from the merit system, the change will be sought for a two-year period only with the

understanding that if the personnel board develops an efficient merit plan in other departments its authority again will be extended to the institutions.

Leaves ‘Half the Job’

“We want to leave the personnel board about half the job it now has,” Rep. Teckemeyer said. “If, at the end of two years they have proven to us that they can operate efficiently in the welfare and health departments we’ll let them take over in the institutions again.” The proposed change would take about 1500 employees from under the merit plan and leave an equal number in. If the party policy makers are unable to block this budgetary approach to the merit problem, an amendment to the merit law probably will be introduced to clinch the reduction of authority for at least the proposed two-year period.

Move Is Expected

Since the introduction of bills was shut off at the end of 30 days, the plan for handling the proposed merit law amendment probably will be to insert it into some other bill which already is on its way through the legislature, possible a senate bill which is now pending in the house. Policy leaders, in fast, expected that such a move might be made even before the budget attack has been settled finally. If the amendment is inserted into a senate bill, the senate could agree to concur by voice vote. If senate concurrence cannot be obtained, the merit question would go to a conference committee for compromise.

a consumer, the person who has the book of the deceased must surrender it to the local board. A consumer confined to an institution for a period likely to be longer than 30 days must return his book to the local board or surrender it to the head of the institution. Anyone inducted into the armed services who will receive subsistance either in organized messes or in kind, must surrender his book to the local board or the induction center. Persons leaving the U. S. for a period of more than 30 days must

surrender book -2 to the local board.

starting the middle of March and continuing up to Aug. 1, six to seven months supply for fresh use would be available starting May 1. In addition there would be 100 quarts to can with a value of 2300 ration points. CARROTS AND BEETS—200 feet in a row by successive planting starting in March and running to July would give eight to nine months’ fresh supply (if kept in storage) starting in June. There would be 30 quarts for canning amounting to 690 ration points for carrots and 510 points for beets. CABBAGE—With 200 plants put out by successive planting from

March to July, the gardener would have a fresh supply from June through December. By canning 30 quarts for sauerkraut, 270 rationing points would be added to the family larder. LETTUCE, GREEN ONIONS AND RADISHES—BYy successive planting totaling 100 feet in a row from March 15 to Sept. 1, the fresh vegetables would last from six to seven months. No canning. Adding up the canning points, you'll get 10,270—all produced on a plot 20 feet by 30 feet and all in addition to the fresh vegetables ob= tained. This is assuming of course that the garden has been properly planned and cared for during the entire season. “From the standpoint of nutrition, victory gardens are a necessity and in order to conserve the national food supply, they are a patriotic duty,” Mrs. Irwin says.

DORNIER GETS NEW AMERICAN PATENT

By Science Service WASHINGTON, Feb. 22—A seaplane that dispenses with wing floats, source of much trouble, is the subject of newly issued U. S. patent 2,311,161, granted to Claude Dornier, of Friedrichshafen, Germany, one of the boldest and most prolific of airplane designers. Wing floats of present types, Dornier explains in his application, are nuisances in the air because of the extra drag which they occasion, and

create difficulties on the water by causing disagreeable and sometimes dangerous rocking. He gets rid of them entirely by creating a sharp “elbow” in each wing, and causing the plane to rest on these when it is down, like a huge aquatic bat. The wings’ roots spring from high up on the hull, so that technically

at 4 p. m. He was seized with nausea and almost fainted. His pulse became nearly inperceptible. Later he was able to take water with sweet lime juice, “He rallied from the crisis and slept for about five and a half hours during the night. “Today is his day of silence. He appears comfortable and is more cheerfuy. His heart is weaker.” ‘Gandhi said when he began a projected 21-day fast that only his unconditional release by the British would induce him to call it off. The government reiterated that his unconditional release could not be con-

Copies Distributed

were distributed to post offices the past few days. Beginning today, every food wholesaler and retailer can obtain a copy of the]. official chart at any postoffice. Although charts will be available for housewives to study during the week’s freeze before point rationing actually goes into effect, they need not be disturbed at its size or officials said. Grogers will be required to place a card giving the exact point value alongside each canned item on their shelves. The point value cards will be as clearly visible to the house-

accustomed to. The 48 points for the first rationing period—the month of March— will he valid only during that month. Officials revealed, however, that the April coupons will become valid March 25 to enable customers who already have used up all their March points to dig intes their April coupons in advance. The total number of points for April, however, will also be only 48, officials said.
