WASHINGTON, Jan. 3? The Navy today revealed details of its proposed new design for en listed men's uniforms, replacing the jumper and bellbottom trous ers which have been the trade mark of seafaring men for six centuries. , It cautiously explained, how- J ever, that the new design is still the subject of tests and if adopt-] ed, must await depletion of p:e* sent stocks of old style uniform'!. ! Some, 2,500 "sample" uniforms have been distributed to the At- 1 lantic and Pacific fleets and to shore stations for wearing and stowage tests under all condi- 1 tions, on the basis of which com- , manding officers will make criti eisms and recommendations. The | tests are expected to require about . three months. In the new design, conventional j trousers replace the laced bell bottoms, and the black necker chief which tradition says was Admiral King replaced by Gen eral Eisenhower and Admiral Nimitz. Trial begins of leading Nazis on war crime charges. Nov. 21 ? General Motors work ers stiike for 30 per cent raise. Dec. 3 ? Truman proposes "fact j finders" for labor troubles. Dec. 9 ?

[designed by the British as a sign J of mourning for Lord Nelson will be replaced by a black fore-in hand tie. The body-tight jumper will give way to a jumper type shirt simi lar to a sport shirt, which can be worn open at the neck for "undress," or buttoned for dress. A tailored, waist-length battle jacket is provided for dress or winter wear. There aie three separate uni forms in the new outfit? blue, grey and white ? with shirts to match. The blue and white are dress uniforms, and the grey the working uniform. White trousers may be worn with the blue battle jacket in warm weather. The white uniform may be worn in both dress and undress fashion ? with a black tie for di ess and open at the neck for undress. The grey uniform is composed of grey shirt and trous ers. similar to those now worn by chief petty officers. Headgear includes a blue gar rison cap for the blue uniform, and the present white hat and a grey basball type cap to be worn with the white and grey uni forms, respectively. Currently authorized rating badges, hash marks and other insignia will be worn with the new uniforms. The present over coat, known to Navy men as a "pea coat," has been retained. New Sugar Stamp Is Now Valid NEW SUGAR STAMP RALEIGH ? Sugar stamp No. 39 became valid for five pounds of sugar January I, Theodore S. Johnson, OP A District Director, said today. January 31 THE LAST DAY FOR MEN NOW IN THE ARMY TO RETAIN THEIR PRESENT GRADES BY REENLISTING ... _ Men now in the Army who re enlist before February 1 will be reenlisted in their present grade. Men honorably dis charged can reenlist within 20 days after discharge in the grade they held at the time of discharge, provided they re enlist before February 1, 1946. There's a long list of attractive reenlistment privileges in the new Armed Forces Voluntary Recruitment Act of 1945. The ability to keep your present grade is only one of them, but tbis privilege expires on January 31. ? Tbcrc arc plenty of other reasons why many thousands of men bave enlisted, and more thousands are enlisting every day. You'll certainly want to know all of the opportunities open to you. If you'll read them carefully, you'll know why a job in the new peace time Regular Army is being regarded today as "The Best Job in the World." HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NEW ENLISTMENT PROGRAM 1. Enlistments for IV2, 2 or 3 years. ( 1-year enlistments permitted for men now in Army with 6 months' service.) 2. Enlistment age from 17 to 34 years inclusive, except for men now in Army, who may reenlist at any age. 3. Men reenlisting retain present grades, if they reenlist 20 days after discharge and before February 1, 1946. 4. The best pay scale, medical core, food, quarters and clothing in Army history. 5. An increase in the reenlistmenty bonus to $50 for each year of active service since such bonus was last paid,' or since last entry into service. 6. Up to 9,0 days' paid furlough, de pending on length of service, with fur lough travel paid to home and return, for men now in Army who enlist. 7. A 30-day furlough every year at full pay. 8. Mustering-out pay (based upon length of service) to all men who are discharged to reenlist. 9. Option to retire at half pay for life after 20 years' service ? increasing to three-quarters pay after 30 years' ser vice. All previous active federal mili tary service counts toward retirement. 10. Benefits under the GI Bill of Rights. 11. Family allowances for the term of enlistment for dependents of men who enlist before July 1, 1946. 12.

Since this stamp must cover the period through April 30, I Johnson urged consumers to con | serve their sugar supply. A sur vey on December I showed that present sugar supplies in the j Southeast, lather than being plen tiful, are in fact 16 per cent less 1 than at the same time last year, he said. The turn of the year finds only 1 300,000 tons of sugar available from Cuba and Puerto Rico in j "carry-over" stocks from last year, Johnson pointed out. He added that additional receipts for the next two months are expected to be considerably below those jfor the corresponding period a year ago.

GOOD FOOD SUPPLY IS SEEN FOR 1946 .Continued From Page One; coopeiation of farmers, govern ment and state college experts and leading farm organizations with progressive distributors and ! retailers in working for these objectives. Hartford said it will be helpful in the new year if the cooperating agencies can concen trate their talents and facilities on the following objectives: J 1.

Providing better marketing coordination to avoid surpluses and waste in some areas when markets are available elsewhere; 3. Improving and standardizing grade and pack, shipping contain ers and consumer packages; 4. Developing better transpor tation methods, and routing pro duce more directly from field to store; 5. Improving retail merchandis ing through better display, less handling and more informative ad vertising and selling. Hartford said that progress is also < likely in the merchandising of more mature fruits and vege tables and in the development of new by-product uses for lower grades of produce. Scientific re frigeration at every stage oi mar keting, when required, will add much to the efficiency of handling perishable foods, he said. "Farm production will benefit not only from the removal of war handicaps ? shortages of man power, farm machinery and sup plies ? but also through the war time development of labor -saving devices, sturdier disease-resistant crops, new ingredients in dairy and poultry feed, sprays and weed controls," Hartford added. "Marked progress may also be expected in stock and poultry breeding during the next few years. There is evidence of this in the reaction of progressive poultry breeders to a nationwide contest which we are sponsoring to promote production of better meat-type chickens." War-inspired science will con tribute valuable aid to the pro cessing and distribution of food, as well as to production, Hart ford predicted. He cited develop | ments in electronics, air fr^Il scientific train-loading, dehydj jtion, freezing, defrosting J elimination of costly bread mol I He referred also to cr,:u:hnentl j baked goods and other p-.oduj and the trend in many states 1 | ward establishment of a permJ lent "added-vitamir." program. 1 j Reduced requh.::.
