Bach Ques- ' tionnaire is in f^o identical parte —one for the SelecUve Service Sjatem and one for the United States Employment Service. Mr. Albright announces that Ibe Uni ted States BJmployment offices ■will examine the oeenpatlonal dueetionnaires which ItJ receives to determine which men are al ready qualified or can be quickly trained for such work i* eeeen- Ual war industries. These men •will then be asked to come to the local United States Employment office for a fact-find interview. Workers possessing skills, impor tant to war production, biit who are not working in war industry or in essential civilian activities, but who ore willing to be trained and transferred to such work, wH be given an opportunity to do so. Mr. Albright states that the United States Employment Ser vice will work with the selective Service System and provide th it service with current information on the need for workers for war production so that these needs may be taken into account in classifying registrants for defer ment or induction into military service. In any individual case, the United States Employment Service will be in a poeition to provide the Selective Service Sys tem with factual informatior as to whether or .not the Individual ■p08Bes.ses a skill urgently needed by the war industries. The Selec tive Service System will be guid ed by this information on war production labor needs in making its decision os to the way in which each individual can beet contrib ute to the war effort. These questionnaires, Mr. .•U- bright announces, will be mailed to registrants soon and they must be filled out and returned to ihe Selective Service Boards within ten days after they are re ceived, The local Selective Ser vice Boerd will keep one part of the questionnaire and send the other identical part to the local United Stales Employment Ser vice office in its area. Applicants who need help in filling out their questionnaire are told to ask for .such assistance from their em ployer. their labor union, from «tny office of the Itnited States Employment Service, or from a member of the Selective Service Advisory Board for registrants.

And the cost of living was mount ing too. ' Such a situation obviously cell ed for action. Last week’s order from the Office of Price Adminis tration throwing 'virtually all pri ces and rents—w1tf» specified ex ceptions—under a celling for the duration in that action. The HIGH COST of LIVING was no longer a vague threat—it had be-1 come grim reality. As Price Ad- ministrtor Leon Henderson com mented: "This measure is. one which the American people know to be nec essary. . . It Is, after all, the citi zen’s charter of security against rising living costs abd it will be so recognised. Therefore, I know every citizen will look upon this program as his own end will do his part to make It work.' Touches IjItcb of All The General Maximum Price Regulation is the most drastic, the most far-reaching step ever taken to control the American economy. It touches the lives of almost every manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, consumer, landlord and tenant. The price order means that a retailer w-ho may have restocked is shelves at high rates must seek relief from the wholesaler „nd so on down the line tovthe seller of basic materials. This is what the trade calls “rolling back ■he squeeze.” If the “squeeze” cannot be ‘‘rolled back" volunta rily. the OPA stands ready to step in. The legtilation is expected to mobilize our economic resources for victory just as the Selective Service .\ct mobilized our man power. The Selective Service Act brought forth relatively few evad ers and the price order is counted on to receive similar support. But there are teeth in the law for those who try to dodge It. Pen alties for willful violation in clude fines of not more than $5.- 000 or one year prison terms or both, civil suits for triple dam ages and loss of the seller's li cense for 12 months, Kulloq .SupiKirt Xe«h‘d The rent-fixing order is equally important to the 'war effort.

McNutt Hits Nall on Head Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt, chairman of the new Manpower Commission, hit the mobilization nail on the head In a rectn speech aat a “Buy Bomber Show” sponsored by the St. Paul Trades and Labor As sembly: “We must translate our war production goal into terms of la bor needs,” he said. "Despite all the shifting requirements of a mobile world-wide war, we must try'to map out in our Manpower general staff exactly when and where workers will be needed.” “Aim Cosmetics at Enemy" The War Production Board has urged American women to aim their lipstick containers at the enemy. That is. they are asked to save the bottles, jars and tuber and fill them over and over again, in which they buy beauty aids No shortage of glamour is antici pated—'but metal containers are three to five million pounds of is intportant: It is estimated that something else.

Sugar'Refused To 6,400,000 Washington. — The office of price admintetratlon reported last night that 6,400,000 persons who regie? ered for sugar ratlon- ilng did not receive war ration hook No. 1 because they had more than the allowable "six- pound “hoar'l”. Officials estimated that 122,- 604,000 persons or approximately 91 per cent of the total popula tion of the United States signed up during the first' four days. This preliminary unofficial total was approximately 7,000,000 less than OPA had anticip|tted.
