Brief Review Of State, National And World News During The Past Week NYLON HOSE WILL NOT BE CONTROLLED Washington—Women who want nylon hose as soon as they are available will have to take their store-to-store chances on getting them. There will be no Government order for simultaneous first-day sale throughout the nation. This was learned, with the War Production Board firmly declining to get embroiled in hot sales com petition, women’s wrath and anti trust law tentacles. So, it looks like scrimmage among the women is in order when the gossamer hose again hit the market, with sellers hoping they can avoid having their plate glass counters shattered. WAR PRODUCTION BOARD WILL BE LIQUIDATED Washington—The War Produc tion Board probably will be liqui dated on Nov. 1. Its remaining controls over industry are expect ed to be transferred to the Office of War Mobilization and Recon version headed by John W. Sny der. J. A. Krug, chairman of the agency which managed the na tion’s economy for war, expects to present WPB’s liquidation plan to President Truman this week. While Nov. 1 is the date chosen by Krug for the agency’s death and his own resignation from the Government, the physical prob lems of dismantling the big organ ization may continue until Dec. 1. Within the next month, accord ing to high but confidential sources, Krug plans to divide WPB into ’these two operations: A reconversion bureau to man age such scarcities as tin, lumber, rubber and chemicals, and to break any bottlenecks which may impede the rapid transition of in dustry to peace. A demobilization bureau, to handle the liquidation of WPB itself and to arrange for the shift ing of WPB’g -labor units and in dustry committees to other Gov ernment agencies. Slightly larger civilian supplies of shortening, cooking oils, and soap will soon be made available. N. C. AFFLICTED BOYS ARE GIVEN $1,000.00 Salisbury — The three Pinion brothers .and their mother have received more than a thousand dollars in cash gifts since their plight first became known. The boys, stricken with muscu lar dystrophy, an incurable ail ment, are dying by degrees. David, the eldest, has but a year to live, according to doctors who have ex amined him. Contributions of food, clothing and household furniture, in addi tion to the money they have re | ceived, have been sent to the Pin j ion family from various sources, as a mounting wave of publicity has carriied their story to the na tion by press and radio. VETERANS ARE TO GET THEIR FORMER JOBS Washington — Selective Service is standing pat on its contention that World War 2 veterans have an absolute right to their former jobs. The agency reiterated this view this week in a policy statement for the guidance of draft board personnel designated to aid vet erans. The policy, based on Selective Service’s interpretation of the draft law, has come to be known as the super seniority issue. It has been under attack for months by union leaders and some employers, but it has been upheld by the Federal District Court in Brook lyn. N.

Another 259,000 will leave in December, leaving only 707,000 men in the theatre when 1946 begins.
