The 41st Week Of The War (Continued from pace one) el. OPA placed a printing order for the firat issue of ISO million "All Purpose" Ration Books, to be call ed War Ration Book Number 2 de signed for rationing any article or commodity, and to distribute throughout the nation probably be fore Christmas. William M. Jeffers, president of the Union Pacific Rail road, was appointed Rubber Director by President Roosevelt and WPB Chairman Nelson with "full respon sibility for and control over the Na tion's Rubber Program in all of its phases." Labor Supply War Manpower Chairman McNutt said he considers adoption of Na tional Service Legislation inevitable in order to place talents where they will best serve the war effort. The mere existence of power to force an individual to serve where he is most useful is probably all that will be necessary, he said. Labor shortages are becoming more acute and now exists in 35 centers of war produc tion, he reported. Selective Service Director Hershey said that to keep production going and at the same time furnish men for the armed forces, industry should establish now an orderly replacement program. The WPA and the U. S. Employ ment Service set up a system where by capable, certified persons on WPA rolls will be directed to jobs in in dustry and agriculture as needed. Approximately 850,000 persons were employed or awaiting assignment to WPS projects Julyl?20 per cent of the total active file of the employ ment service. Transportation At the request of WPB Chairman Nelson, the Defense Plant Corpora tion authorized Henry J. Kaiser, West Coast shipbuilder, to construct three giant experimental cargo planes at a cost of $18,000,000. The first is expected to be completed in 15 months, the second in 20 months, and the third in 25 months. Mr. Kai ser also was asked to draw up plans for a factory in which the planes could be produced in volume in the event they are needed. The Senate passed and sent to the House legis lation authorizing the government to acquire private or public trana portation facilities lor the carrying ol Federal employees and war work ers to and from their jobs? only, however, when existing facilities are entirely inadequate. Farm Prices Price Administrator Henderson said if farm prices are allowed to rise under existing price regulations the cost of food to the American peo ple will be increased by two billion dollars in the remainder of this year. Agriculture Secretary Wickard said cash farm income this year will give the farmers a per capita income 33 per cent greater than they received on an average in 1909-14?in large part due to greater per capita pro duction. The Commodity Credit Corpora tion will finance an Agricultural Marketing Administration program to purchase pork products process ed from approximately 1,000,000 hogs, designed to relieve the price squeeze on small packers and to as sure large supplies of processed prod ucts from the record 1942 spring pig crop. Small packers are considered those who killed less than 250,000 hogs ii> 1941, including slaughtering by affiliated companies, and who cannot continue to process hogs prof itably. The OPA announced it will place its first ceilings on fruit at the producer stage on dried prunes and raisins. Army War Secretary Stimson told his press conference that the health of the Army in training in the U. S. is better than ever before during war time and it is expected the general hospital admission rate will be about ten per cent lower in 1942 than in 1941. Throughout 1941 and so far this year, the death rate has been the lowest in the history of the Army. Through the Army Administration Officer Candidate School, enlisted men who have been accepted for lim ited service and enlisted men be tween the ages of 45 and 50 may re ceive commissions and if they have equal qualifications, they will be given preference over men eligible for combat duty, the War Depart ment said. Selective Service Selective Service Director Hershey said the size of the Army this year has been increased from the 4,500, 000 total announced as the 1942 ob jective by Chief of Staff Marshall in FOR SALE New BURLAP PEANUT BAGS Slade, Rhodes Co.
