C., UNION COUNTY, THURSDAY, MAY 13, 1943 SEMI-WEEKLY .v-o YEAR Ration Board Gets Authority OPA To Permit Gas Panels To Conduct Hearings In Future ACT, ON OFFENDERS The power of local rationing boards to revoke gasoline rations of motorists and other users was increased yester day by OPA "to assure fair and effi cient enforcement" of rationing regu lations. The agency emphasized, however, that any ration holder threatened with the loss of all, or part, of his rations must receive a public hearing unon reauest. In the past, OPA policy ordinarily has required that reports of violations be referred by local boards to district OPA officials for Investigation, in most instances the cases then were sent back to the local board for hear- lne and disposition. Under the new procedure local boards may conduct hearings without referring a case to the district omce In these instances: When the ration holder is charged with speeding (driving over 35 miles an hour); where he is charged witn the abuse of his tires; where the ap plicant for a new gasoline ration Is believed to have committed a pre vious violation; where the ration hold er's book has been turned to the board 'with a report that he has committed a violation and he demands the return of the bood before a written notice of a hearing can be sent ihm. Local boards may suspend or revoke ration coupons without consulting the district office or without a hearing only when the board finds the holder 1s not entitled to the ration on the basis of facts stated in his application or when the Office of Defense Trans portation certifies that a ration holder has violated ODT regulations.

The Red ships and accom panying planes met the convoy at a pre-arranged destination for protection into port m Gas Ration To Be Stringent Little Supplemental Fuel Is Expected To Be Granted OPA OFFICIALS WARN The pressing war needs for limited gasoline supplies In the East demand that all applications for supplemental and special rations be granted on the basis of bare necessity W. C. Sanders of the Union County War Price and Rationing Board reported here today Arts. His mentor was Felix Wein followlng a conference in Charlotte gartner, director of the Vienna Phil- yesterday with representatives of the Office of Price Administration. The importance of examining these applications closely and of adhering strictly to the mileage rationing regu lations In issuing all gasoline rations was emphasized at the meeting, which Mr. Sanders attended with members of other rationing boards In this area. The meeting was one of a series ar ranged by the state OPA office to dls cuss with rationing board members the various provisions of the regula tions. "It was made very clear," said Mr. Sanders," that every gallon of gasoline we give one man is taken away from someone else. It's up to us to see that the fellow who needs the gasoline most sets it. That's the whole idea of rationing.' The Eastern gasoline situation as depicted at the meeting offers little hope of increase supplies for civilian use this summer, Mr. Sanders said. The gasoline shortage developed in the East, it was pointed out, because tankers which normally brought in s percent of the East's petroleum were withdrawn for military service. In the last year overland facilities tank cars, barees. mrjellnes have been in creased until at present it is possible to bring in more than 1,000,000 Darreis a day. Completion of more pipelines, and other facilities may raise this rate to an average of more than 1,500,000 barrls a day approximately our nor mal rate of consumption by the end of this year. But this does not mean arivuig as usual" OPA spokesmen empnasizea, because war demands nave greauy in creased our gasoline requirements. Tremendous Quantities 01 gasoune are needed now for the battle fronts abroad, and for running war plants and operating food producing farms at home. It was stated. Riorht now lante shipments 01 gaso line are belnor withdrawn from East Coast ports to supply Allied fighting forces in North Africa, roese with drawals are vital to victory in Tunisia, since the same number of ships sailing from the more distant Gulf ports would be able to transport one-third less petroleum. '. "We w ere assured these demands the ml lltary, industrial and agricul tural demands have been met, and will continue to be met," said Mr. Sanders." Particular emphasis was laid on the Importance of making avauaoie this spring and summer thousands of barrels of gasoline a day for farm use. Vital crops are now under cultivation and gasoline must be supplied not only for tractors and other farm engines, but also for transporting the harvested crops to market. "But to do these things all civilian uses must be restricted to bare ne cessities as provided by the rationing regulations. Applications for supple mental rations for occupational driving will be scrutinised to make sure that mileage requests are accurate and that the applicant has done .all he can to share his car with others, and to use other means of transportation. 'Applications for special rations must remember that the regulations give us authority to grant extra gas oline allowances ta only a few emer gencies Involving life - and ' health. Some motorists forget that they al ready a basic "A" ration book for family and personal necessity driving. "Knowing the seriousness of the sit uation, every motorist In Union county I know, will cooperate with their ra tion board by not asking tor one cou pon's worth of gasoline they dont ab solutely need.' , . .

He rated Slice Margins On Some Foods Profits Cut On Cabbage, Onions, Poultry And Other Items SUGAR FOR CANNING Grocers' profit margins on cabbage onions, some poultry and salt codflsh were reduced Tuesday by the OPA, which at the same time fixed a top limit of 25 pounds of sugar per person for home canning and freezing of this year's crops. This is generally nigner than last year's allowance. The lowering of profit margins to grocers follows anonuncement of a program of subsidies to bring a ten per cent cut June 1 in the retail cost of beef, veal, lamb, mutton, coffee and butter. This subsidy plan was criticized in the House Tuesday by Representative A. L. Miller, Republican of Nebraska, who asked, "How will subsidies be paid unless by taxation on the very people that must buy food, or does it mean that the government press is about to start printing phoney mon ey?" Elmer Davis, head of the Office of War Information, has said the fund will come from taxation, but that It will tend to distribute the cost among those better able to bpay. Today also was the effective date of community-wide price ceilings and nounced over the week-end In 130 metropolitan areas. These listings make no change In the legal cost of groceries, save in exceptional cases. but they give housewives official In formation by which to check the le gality of prices charged. me opa plans this week to tet new beef, veal, lamb, and cutton prices on a regional basis, temporarily until the subsidy plan becomes effective, place new ceilings on soap and list community prices in canned goods. 'ine profit margin on cabbages was reduced from 65 to 40 per cent for small stores, and from 54 to 40 per cent lor cnains and other large volume outlets. Markups on onions were low ered from 50 to 40 per cent for small stores, raised from 39 to 40 per cent for Intermediate markets, and left un changed at 35 per cent for largest stores. The margin of make up is the rise permitted the retailer over wholesale prices. Out of it he gets his cost and profit. On frozen poultry markups were cut from 25 to 21 per cent for small stores and from 25 to 20 for larger ones. Specific custs on processor sales of salt codfish were estimated as much as seven cents a pound below exist ing prices. Sugar for canning will be allocated on about the same basis as last year one pound of sugar for each four quarts (or eight pounds) of finished products, but within the limits allowed a family at the rate of 25 pounds a person the family may apply for sugar ror Jams, jellies and preserves at the rate of five pounds a person. Last year the limit for preserves was one pound. "Every can of commercial packed foods saved by these folks through home canning is a direct and Impor tant contribution to our war effort," said Price Administrator Brown. "We can run the total into hundreds of millions of cans. Let's do it." Ration boards will receive applica tion for the sugar on or after May 15 upon presentation of War Ration book No. 1 for each person for whom sugar is sought. third place In a class of several hun dred.

Ingram, of the local Red Cross workroom, today, Issued an ur gent appeal to the ladies of Monroe who have not as yet done so, to assist in the making of surgical dressings at the workroom. The need is great and every effort is being made by those In charge of the work here to see that the quota in this section is reached. Quoting from a letter of May 6th from National Red Cross Headquarters: "You will be Interested to know the results of our call on chapters to meet the War Department request for 180, 000,000 additional surgical dressings by April 31st. In response to this call chapters reported 181,135,800 dressings. But Eastern area is still behind. We have completed fewer surgical dress ings than any of the areas, only 47.85 percent of amount assigned through January. We are going to have to maintain the same heavy schedule through June in order to meet the pressing and increasing need for sur gical dressings." The above quotations explain the reason for our local chapter receiving 41,000 dressings to be done in June, with 10,000 still to complete for May making a total of 51,000 to be made by June 30th. Our average production to date has been around 1,000 per day which Is splendid but one can see with our working days we must Increase to 1500 or 2000 per day. Therefore this is an urgent appeal to every lady in our vicinity to give some volunteer service. Twice as many workers are needed for this vital work. The Wlngate ladies are doing splen didly with their work. Yesterday they brought to the Surgical Dressings room around 2,000 finished surgical ldress ings.

Axis Gives Up Tunisia Fight Resistance Ceases As Allies Capture 150,000 Enemy Troops ELEVEN GENERALS TAKEN All organalzed Axis resistance in Tunisia ceased at 8:15 p. m. Wednes day night after the capture of the German comamnder in chief, Col. Gen. Jurgen von Arnim, 11 other generals, and 150,000 enemy troops. A special communique declared that isolated pockets of resistance still were active, but the battle officially was considered ended. Captured Wednesday with Von Ar nim, 54-year-old tank expert who suc ceeded Marshal Erwin Rommel, were Maj. Gen. Graf von Sponeck, com mander of the 90th light division, and . Major General P. Roich, commander of the 10th panzer division. Von Arnim and most of his staff were taken by British armored units in a quick clean-up of the Cap Bon peninsula. 'It Is estimated that the total of prisoners captured since May 5 is about 150,000," said the special bulle tin announcing Van Arnim 's seizure. "Vast quantities of guns and war material of all kinds have been cap tured, including guns and aircraft in a serviceable condition." Thus six months and four days after after the Allied landing in North Afri ca, the Battle of Tunisa had ended in a complete triumph clearing the way for an Allied Invasion of Europe. A nine-mlle-wlde circle of Axis re sistance was reported holding out in the Zaghouan mountains southwest of Cap Bon peninsula, but the enemy was in a hopeless spot there and was expected to surrender or be wiped out quickly. The capture of 150,000 prisoners in the final eight days of the campaign brought to 400,000 the number of Axis soldiers taken since the fighting began in Africa nearly three years ago. This represents 11 German and 26 Italian divisions, and does not Include dead and wounded. In addition to Von Arnim, Von Spo neck, and Roich, the French reported the capture yesterday of two other German generals, one named Yelich, who had taken over command of the Italian Superba division and other Italian remnants, and the other named Pfeiffer, commanding a group bearing his own name. The Freench captured 25,000 men in exacting an . unconditional surrender of all German and Italian forces fight ing between Zaghouan and Saouaf. This was particularly sweet revenge -to the French, who remembered Hit ler's little dance of Joy In the Oom peigne forest nearly three years ago, when Marshal Petain's regime signed an armistice. Major General von Sponeck, the commander of the 90th light division, surrendered to Lieut. Gen. Sir Bernard Freyberg, New Zealand commander, on the British Eighth army front north of Enndaville yesterday. General Freyberg during the morn ing demanded the surrender of the 90th division, but Von Sponeck refused and said his troops would follow his orders to fight until the last cartridge. Later In the day, however, he prof fered his unconditional surrender, and his former elite troops were put be hind barbed wire cages, where thou sands of their comrades had preceded them. (The Italian First a rmy leader, Gen. Giovanni Messe, apparently, also Is due for capture on this front. A Rome communique said earlier yesterday that he had refused Freyberg's surrender demand, and chose to fight on.) united States troops already had captured 37,998 prisoners, mostly Ger mans, In the Bizerte area, which they and their supporting French elements conquered last week. The British First army took 25,000 or more in the break-through to Tunis and rounded up-tens of thou sand in the swift clean-up of Cap Bon peninsula, where they encountered Van Arnim and his staff members at an inland camp. Von Arnim and thousands of his men had fled to Cap Bon apparently in the hope of escaping to Sicily, but a deadly Allied air-sea blockade pre vented that attempt.
