COAL DELIVERY

Eliminating Wheel-in and

Other . Services. Whether or not Indianapolis coal

service and other services in order to speed up coal deliveries will be decided at a meeting next week. The district coal dealers advisory. committee of the office of de+ fense transportation recommended to local coal merchants this week

relieve the manpower . shortage, catch up on back deliveries, and increase their truck output.

An CORE PAR

Evert Johnson, member of the coal merchants association committee studying ways to increase deliveries, said the suggestions would be considered by the association the first of next week. Robert + W. Bidlack, chairman of the ODT committee, said discontinuation of the wheel-in service would increase coal truck output about one - third. On an average, trucks stand idle one hour for every wheeled in. iy Coal Would Be Dumped If local merchants accept the plan, the coal will be dumped in front of the customer's house, and the~householder will have to haul it in himself or hire someone else to do it. i companies might be able to set up crews of wheelers to work while the trucks go on with other orders.

SEEN ‘IN FEW DAYS’

. CHICAGO, Oct. 8 (U. P)~— Spokesmen for the meat industry warned heuseholders today that their next food problem may be bringing home the bacon. Civilian consumers may feel the effects of a temporary reduction in pork supplies “within the next few days,” they sald. Meat packers said the shortage is artificial. Actually, they said, there is a record supply of hogs on Midwestern feed lots. But they are not being shipped to market because of the feed shortage, and because of the lowered price ceilings on live hogs which

ARGENTINA APPOINTS NEW ENVOY TO U. S.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 (U, P.)— Argentina's decision to replace her veteran ambassador to Washington with a man unknown here was believed today to be a move to repair the damage of her recent diplomatic blunders toward the United States. Just a month ago today Secretary of State Cordell Hull sharply denounced Argentina for failing to break diplomatic relations with the axis. Argentina provided Hull the opportunity for writing one of the sharpest diplomatic notes to a Latin

The OPA spokesman said that abandonment of stamp deductions was because of the “lack of manpower, inconvenience, and the amount of work involved.” He said that rationing authorities feel that the amount of saving of food by further removal of rationing points would not be enough to justify any more ration book “tailoring.”

DEATH YIELDS TO PRIDE IN LONDON

Falling Bombs Fail to Dull

Exultation at Vengeance On Berlin.

LONDON, Oct, 8 (U. P) ~Death and flerce exultation mingled strangely in London last night. German bombs caused sorrow and destruction in one working class suburb, but there and everywhere in the capital British hearts thrilled with pride and satisfaction at the

outbound ‘for Germany, and the message they shouted from the sky was, “we shall repay!™ For the messengers of vengeance filled the night with sound even while the bombs of the Luftwaffe were still falling. Londoners watched and took grim satisfaction in the knowledge that what was happening here was small in contrast with what was in store for German cities. The raid on London was heavy but nothing compared to many since the first German bombers struck the almést defenseless city on the night of Sept..7, 1940. It seemed puny alongside what has since been visited on German cities,
