This has placed the merchant selling shoes in the low-price range in a quandry as to how to dispose of his stock. After calling this to the attention of the Office of F*rice Administration officials, meetings are now being held by them and officials of the War Production Board for the purpose of alleviating this situation. Fats and Shortening: Rationing Order No. 16 allots to bakers 70 per cent of the poundage used last year by them. We now have so many hundreds of war workers and civilians not engaged jn war work who are laboring so long and so strenuously that a heavier demand is made on bakers for bread -- the staff of life. Within a few days an amendment • ill be issued by the Office of Price Administration whereby bakers may apply to their local rationing boards for an additional allotment of fats and* shortening1 for the baking of bread. WAR MANPOWER COMMISSION: With the issuance of the order for re-classification of men now in 3-A, and the urgency for them to secure employment by May 1st in war industries or agriculture, consideration must be given to those industries and business houses so essential to continuing as normal a life as possible to tiie civilian population in war times. The War Manpower Commission is now considering this matter and such enterprises as grocers, coal dealers, dry cleaning establishments, merchants, etc., are listed as "local essential activities." While employees of such establishments are considered "non-deferrable," efforts will be made to continue such employees as long as possible in their present positions, and such establishments will have a priority in hiring other employees. The local office of the United States Employment Service maintains a list of "local essential activities" and persons seeking employment should register at the nearest office. Olin W. Dibble, area director, War Manpower Commission, Room 400, Merchandise Mart, Chicago, Illinois, will be able to , advise merchants as to whether or not their particular business qualifies as a '"local essential activity."

She simply wants us to lend her money. And thas 13 billion dollars must be raised during April to assure more torpedo squadrons--more victories like Midway. it's true we've'done a good Job so far.

You may say, "But I've been buying War Bonds. Paying higher taxes. Giving up conveniences." If you think you're doing all you can, recall the last words of Commander Waldron to Squadron 8: "Of course, we will strike regardless of the consequences."

Though flooded with letters and telegrams, somehow the veterans feel political judgment warrants a trip hack home to ascertain what the rank fend file are thinking about current problems, claiming the attention of the congress. They are already booking conferences with their local henchmen and community leaders as a means of gathering a reasonably fair sampling of public opinion. These refresher courses in home sentiment some times have a startling effect on the attitude of the solons who have usually been disposed to go along with the views of party leaders on questions of policy. There are many phases of the current legislative program which, touclit directly upon the liyes of their con-, stituents. Some solons are not satisfied with the claim that letters on various subjects represent the true sentiment among the home folks. A few of the troublesome subjects are the Ruml tax plan; rationing reactions, farm programs and manpower controls. These are matters now under study by th6 legislative body. Seasoned lawmakers are cognizant that a bulk of the letters on major issues are undoubtedly inspired by the pressure groups, such as trader unions, farm lobbies and business organizations. One purpose of a visit is to peek behind this facade and determine what the other segments of the population think about goings-on at Washington. President Roosevelt's latest executive order designed to curb growing inflationary factors has stirred conflicting reactions in the political camps' It is considered by some as a forerunner to legislation for compulsory war service as contemplated in the pending Wadsworth-Austin bills. Others regard the new directive as cutting the ground from under demands of the miners' union and others for increased wages and for higher farm prices. Interpretations are that it actually "freeze" all workers to their present jobs and will put an end to competitive bidding for available labor. The lure of high wages in war factories and the alleged draft deferment for farm workers have provided the manpower authorities with grave problems. One disturbing report reaching officials has to do with the tatics of some citizens in painting the mail boxes of farms employing men of military age with the significant "yellow"--similar to the white feather markings of other wars. The question of operating the farms to provide the necessary food supply is taxing the resourcefulness of all agencies. The Office of Civilian Defense has enlisted its 13,000 local defence councils to recruit help for the farms and war factories. Changes in the output of war goods will give the factories a chance to turn to civilian articles of an essential nature and the inventories of which are dangerously low. These change-overs will release many workers now employed on wa^ contracts. On the other hand, labor shortages in many areas are inevitable under the operations of the draft. General Hershey's order of Monday for elimination of dependency as a cause for deferment for men with collateral dependents and wives only, except in the case of men necessary to and regularly engaged in agriculture or in cases where extreme hardship and privation would result is calculated to bring marked upsets in the civilian manpower situation. This drasti^ reclassification of draft standings may result in hasty transfers to j<*s offering better chances of deferment. The Senate's action in returning the vetoed farm bill _ to the Senate committee on agriculture has implications which are admittedly disconcerting to the administration, organized blocs and the general public. Refusing to vote on sustaining or rejecting the Presidential veto, the upper chamber has in a parliamentary sense, "placed the Bankhead parity measure on ice" ready to be trotted out. The effect as explained in debate is "to await conclusive Presidential action in respect to his responsibilities regarding inflation on the labor front." This means that the farm bill, condemned by the White House, will be hurried out of the committee pigeon-hole in event the miners' union wins government agencies over to their proposal for a substantial wage increase. If the National War Labor Board or other agencies yield to the John L. Lewis demands, Congress will endeavor to enact the agricultural price boost measure so that farmers will receive wore money. •' VERNON J. KNOX, Attorney NOTICE OF CLAIM DATE Estate of Mary F.
