New listings of defense and defense-supporting industries priorities for steel, copper and aluminum have been announced by the National Production Authority in preparation for the Controlled Materials Plan whieh starts July 1, : These code symbols will tell the businessman just where he fits into the allotment , indicated William Rightor, local NPA administrator. Seek Equal Share The new plan is to assure the defense - industries— those essential to the well being of the civilian economy-—of their share of strategic steel, copper and aluminum, he pointed out. “Previously, the defense effort got their needed supplies and what was left, business of all kinds had to scramble for,” Mr. Rightor said. “The idea is to stop needless hoarding and storage of these needed metals for future defense orders. Under the plan, industry will get supply of only its immediate needs—no more,” he added. Includes Key Items Now, only manufacturers of

consumer durable goods will have to scramble on the free market

from agriculture to textiles, are included in the defense-supporting

category. Further information is avallable at the local NPA offices, 224 N. Meridian St.

Just threw a way a small book that was designed to teach me what and how to say it in French. ® This French book is a lulu. When I bought it in New York, ‘the saleslady said it would.be of immense value to

me. At odd moments I studied the pages.

But tonight it dawned on me that I might be able to cough out Quel est le quai le depart du train pour Paris? (From which platform will the train leave for Paris?) but what do I do r

hear Frenc! g= spoken in Lon = don and broth. 7 er, they do not speak 7 book French. In the book A no mention is 7 made of gestures, wild and sudden;"On second thought, I'm going to retrieve it and get my dough back in New York. Yes sir, about the time a man begins to get accustomed to shillings, halfpennies, pounds, warm beer, round-bottom bath tubs, fish, he's got to pack and take off.

"0 » Despite the fact that life in Paris is supposed to be gayer, food more plentiful, the liquor you almost hate to leave. That ol’ feeling of being helpless is sure to return when the Channel boat docks. You know that. Right now I can laugh at the first taxi ride in London and how the driver picked a tip out of my handful of change, The first bus ride was full of fear that at the end of the line I would be miles from my desti- - nation. Today, with three pints of beer under my belt, I get on the swift Underground. English money hard to figure? Bah. How "stupid the taxi drivers and the ticket takers on the busses must have thought I was a few days ago. Soon the medium of exchange will be francs. Bought 3000 francs already. They look like soap coupons only dirtier. Where once you crawled in London. now you're walking. ] up along the way and there is the London policeman, gracious, solicitous, solid as Gibraltar.

‘They will tell you about relatives in the States or ask questions or talk about their great

tradition. They love to make a comparison of t they have and we have. Our distances fascinate them. You can easily understand why. No matter where you are in England, the sea is no more than 80 miles away. . Next time around you'll be careful of the big mouth. An American must learn not to make fun of the way of life in

Y

Britain. That is the exclusive

right of the Britisher., He may hate hig government, he may be going to Australia to live, as a young chap I talked to is doing, but he's the one to jest. You're told many times initiative has been taken from the people; there are no more opportunities in England and the government is shocking; some phases of socialized medicine are intolerable. Listen, don’t throw logs on the fire. - » - I asked a store clerk, who didn’t vote Labor, who did. He

" sald he didn’t know. None of

his friends did. He admits It is a strange situation. Just like there were mo Nazis in Germany when Hitler fell. A taxi driver, who voted Labor once and will never vote again, explained why he carries two pairs of glasses. He said he went to an optometrist for read-

ing glasses. That's all he wanted {

Deeplre

everywhere, |

“You might as well have distance glasses, too.” sald the optometrist, “they're free.” The thinking worker objects to such needless waste, he said. But he is all for that part of the medical programs which provides medical care like he and his family received last winter. You notice in London there are few cigaret stubs to be found on the sidewalks. You're told people can’t afford to buy cigarets, Yet you see men and women smoking even young boys and girls. You're told the working man can’t afford to buy the fish and poultry he requires to supplement his meat rations. Go into a pub, there won't be room at the bar. I don’t mean a high class joint, either. Where do they get the money? t . » Food Is Scarce but the number of Britishers who lead pets, fat, pedigreed beasts, is astounding. On street corners peddlers sell horse meat for pets. Beats me. Oh, and how smug I have felt when I went miles by bus and returned to Marble Arch, safe and sound. What a feeling of accomplishment when you decide to have a nightcap and can go directly to the gpot and

know what to ask for and have

the correct change ready. The hour to start throwing dirty socks and wrinkled ties in

* the bags is at hand. I'm thank-

ful I followed the advice of wiser friends and didn't bring many clothes. You don’t need

a lot here. It isn’t like being '

home where friends notice that you have had the same suit on for four days. Nobody knows here or cares. The baggier the clothes the more British you look. It's a fine art to be traveling for weeks with two shirts, two suits, five pairs of socks, two

pairs of shorts and undershirts. |

And every morning to get in

clean stuff. Well, almost every |

morning. Un, deux, shoes.
