TOWN AND FARM IN PEACE TUAE (Continued from Page 1) \ of tenants facing temporary unemployment during the change to peace time production, this is no time to have furniture piled in the street”, Mr. Bowles said. “We are compelled to tighten up on evictions because they have been taking place at an alarming rate, a situation even more serious in this transition period than it was during the war. In the first six months of this year, a total of 515,000 petitions for eviction were received at Local Area Rent Offices, last year, [nearly million families re'ceived eviction notices.” Mr. Bowles said that, as rapidly as pressures on rent ceilings jin particular areas relax, controls will be removed from one area after another. Controls were removed from nine Defense Rental Areas, Sept. 1. He made clear, however, that in all areas where pressure on rent ceilings remains, controls will continue in effect and will be vigorously i enforced. OPA Permits Higher Prices— Shoe repair shops are permitted to charge five to fifteen cents a pair over their regular prices for the soling of shoes when they use two types of soling materials now coming on the market, OPA says. The additional charges, effective Sept. 10, 1945, are to compensate the repair shops for the higher costs of these materials, which are neolite and brown composition, rubber or fiber. Neolite is an entirely new material, while brown composition, rubber or fiber soles are similar to brown soles of these types sold before the war, except that ! synthetic rubber is now used in place of natural rubber. During the War repair shops used either leather or black composition, rubber or fiber, soles. Footwear Unrationed —Rationing of industrial rubber boots and work shoes has ended. Price j Administrator Chester Bowles said in an announcement covering the Fifth Commodity Group to be freed from ration controls since the victory over Japan. Other commodities previously released were gasoline, fuel oil, oil stoves and processed foods. Sales to Government— A modification of invoice and certification requirements that apply to Class 2 (non-federally inspected) Slaughterers sales of meat to Government Procurement Agencies. _or „to persons under . contract to sell meat to these agencies, Was announced by OPA. Under the slaughter control program, non-federally inspected slaughterers are permitted to increase their slaughter quotas, in live weight, by equivalent amounts of meats sold to Government Procurement Agencies or to pers under contract to sell to these agencies. In the case of sales to those under contract to sell meat to the agencies, the slaughterer may now obtain from the contractor either a statement giving the contract number, or a certification on Department of Agriculture Form FDO 75-12. The statement or certification may be obtained at any time during the quota period in which the sale was made, and the slaughterer may then increase his current monthly slaughter quota to cover the meat sold to the contractor. Sales of veal to contractors have also been .brought under this provision, in addition to pork and beef.

Slaughterers who increase their slaughter quotas because of sales to Government agencies, or to those under contract to sell the meat to the agencies, must attach to their monthly reports made to OPA District Offices (on OPA Form MC-6) a certification as to the amount of the increase. hastincFnews Sunday school, 9:30.

NAPPANEE ADVANCE-NEWS, NAPPANEE, IND.

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS (Continued from Page 1) appeal to the Japanese people to fulfill the obligations of the unconditional surrender and work to regain the confidence of the world. In detailing the Nipponese downfall, Higashi - Kuni revealed that combined U. S. sea and air might had sharply reduced Nipponese shipping and rail communications and cut down the flow of materials to war industries. In turn, these plants suffered heavily from air bombardment. Declaring that the ruins of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were too ghastly to even look upon, Higashi-Kunl admitted that the use of the atomic bomb proved the real turning point of the war, with Russia’s entrance capping the disastrous turn of events. Even as Higashi-Kuni spoke, U. S. forces continued to pour into Japan for occupation duties, with ah estimated 300,000 to 400,000 men eventually needed to complete ,the operation. With U. S. troops fanning out over the Japanese home islands, efforts were made to speed up the release of American war prisoners, many of whom charged mistreatment during their captivity. Aviators especially were singled out for abuse, first being pummeled by any civilians upon parachuting to safety, before being turned over to military guards, REDEPLOYMENT: Revise Plans *<■ Considered its answer to widespread criticism on the part of servicemen as well as the public, the army revised its redeployment plans to free an estimated 665,000 vets from Pacific duty. Under the new plan, G.l.s exempt from overseas service will include those with 45 or more discharge points; those between 34 and 37 years of age with a year of service, or those 37 or over. Previously, the army had required 75 points for such exemption. Meanwhile, 200,000 army officers looked forward to early release following the announcement of discharge plans based upon the point system. With points computed on the basis of one for each month in service, one for each month of overseas service, five for each combat award and 12 for each dependent under 18, colonels, lieutenant-col-onels and majors need 100. points f?r discharge; captains, first and second lieutenants, 85, and warrant and flight officers, 80. EMPLOYMENT: Set Goal Speedy rehiring of many discharged war workers by reconverting industries will be necessary if the War Manpower commission’s goal of an immediate postwar factory employment of 14 million is to be achieved. The necessity of speeding up reconversion to absorb the postwar labor glut was pointed up by the WMC’s own estimate that four million persons would lose wartime jobs within the next six months. Aircraft plants alone will discharge one million, with ordnance releasing 800,000, shipbuilding 600,000 and government over 100,000. Manufacturing industries cannot sop up all of the available labor supply, WMC said, declaring that increasing numbers of men and women will have to enter mining, building, trade and farming. Because the war restricted' much activity in these enterprises, and anticipated postwar markets will lead to business expansion, WiyiC predicted wider employment in these fields.

QUISLING: Defends Self With death staring him in the face, pale and grim Vidkun Quisling was pictured as a constructive European statesman and passionate toe of Bolshevism by his counsel Henrik Bergh during the closing stages of the celebrated treason trial in Oslo, Norway. Though no political disciple of the notorious collaborator, lawyer Bergh depicted Quisling as an idealistic eccentric, who, while contacting Hitler in 1939, also communicated with Chamberlain in an effort to bring about peace between Germany, Britain and France. Bergh attributed the collaborator’s sympathy with the Nazi occupation of 1940 to a desire to prevent Norway becoming a battleground like Poland through a British landing and subsequent German counterattack. First sympathetic to communism while doing relief work in Russia in 1923, Quisling changed his attitude in 1930 upon seeing mass imprisonments. starvation and plagues In the soviet, Bergh said. . . RECONVERSION: Strikes Interfere In the first serious work stoppage in the reconversion period, production was cut sharply at the Ford and Hudson automobile plants following a variety of labor disputes. In Washington, D. C., the government remained in close touch with the, situation, in keeping with President Truman’s avowed determination to prevent a reconversion slowdown through labor differences. At Ford’s, over 26.000 workers were laid off as a result of strikes at parts suppliers’ plants, with the walkout of 4,500 employees of the Kelsey - Hayes Wheel company over the discharge of union stewards chiefly interfering with production. The stewards had been fired for instigating a brawl with a foreman. Curtailment of production at Hudson’s followed the walkout of 6,000 workers in sympathy with 500 foremen striking in protest over a reduction of wartime wage rates.

SECT RITES FATAL “/ may be bitten and l may die,” 32-year-old Lewis Francis Ford, lay preacher of the Dolly Pond Church of God near Uirchwood, Tenn., told a newspaper reporter before conducting his sect’s snake handling rites. "But if I do,” Ford continued, “it will be because the Lord wants to shotv unbelievers the snakes are poisonous." ' Shortly afterward; Ford warbiuen on the right hand as he was removing a three-foot rattlesnake from a wooden box, and was taken to a near-by home where several of the followers of his faith prayed for him. When his condition worsened, however, he was rushed to a Chattanooga hospital, where he died. Ford's death followed that of Mrs. Harvey O. Kirk of Wise, Fa., who succumbed from a rattlesnake bite on the wrist during a religious rite. Before dying Mrs. Kirk gave birth to a child, which failed to survive. JAP RESETTLEMENT: Lift Coast Ban Os 110,000 persons of Japanese ancestry, who were removed from the Pacific coast following Pearl Harbor, only 45,000 will return with the lifting of the ban against their resettlement there, U. S. relocation authorities predicted. Out of the 110,000 removed, about 50,000 have found new homes in other sections of the country, where they have entered a variety of industries ranging from watch-making to mechanical dentistry and proven their efficiency and trustworthiness, Another 50,000 have remained in relocation camps. With feeling running high against Japanese-Americans in some Pacific coast communities, Maj. Gen. H. C. Pratt, commander of the western defense zone, called upon residents there to accord resettlers the same privileges of other law-abiding citizens. SURPLUS GOODS: Sales Policy Hoping to speed-the-turnover of material and permit wider distribution among dealers during the immediate period- of scarcity, the de--piirtment of commerce ’reported that most surplus war goods would now be sold on a fixed price basis rather than sealed bids. * The department revealed Its policy change at the same time that it announced 300 million dollars worth of material is being made available to wholesalers and retailers, with items including chicken wire, trucks and other vehicles, hardware, shotguns and shells. Under the new •selling plan, material will be disposed of to wholesalers and retailers under OPA ceilings, with allowances for profit margins. Thirty days credit will be extended. An estimated 80 per cent of dollar volume of all surplus sales will fall under the new pricing poliey. • - TIRE REPORT: In renewing monthly reports, the Rubber Manufacturers association includes a breakdown of figures showing production In civilian passenger car, truck and bus casings and In tubes for 1941 and 1945 to indicate the present tire situation. Production of passenger car casings for the first six months of 1941 totalled 29,040,711 units, with 5,365,459 units held in inventory. Estimated production for the six months ended last June 30 was 10,020,817 units, with only 950,412 in Inventory.
