New Ration Book
Due in December;
To Be Last One
Gasoline Book
Also Due To
That Time
WASHINGTON, July 24 (UP)
Price chief Chester Bowles an
nounced today 150,000,000 copies
of war ration book five which
he hopes will be OPA's last will
be distributed between Dec. 3
and 15.
At the same time, he said 23,
000,000 motorists will get new
"A" gasoline books, the third edi
tion since gas rationing began.
The agency hopes, Bowles'said,
these will be the last of the war
time ration series and that there
will be plenty of stamps in them
"we won't have to use."
Short Supply
Bowles said book five was de
signed to serve from 10 to 15
months because "it looks as if a
ration book will be needed at
least through most of next year."
He said the supply agencies the
department of agriculture and
war production board has in
formed OPA meats and fats, can
ned goods, sugar and shoes "all
will be in tight supply for some
months to come."
Bowles described book five as
"smaller than a dollar bill" and
as much of a delight to a house
wife's eyes as a ration book can
be. He said the stamps are the
same size as in book four but
the number and letter combina
tion is "out."
Less Work
"All the housewife and grocer
have to remember is that stamps
of certain nirmbe-s are good,"
he said.
Both book five and the "A"
gasoline books will be handed
out by school teachers in public
buildings throughout the country.
The new gasoline book, with
five sets of stamps for a 15-month
period, will become effective Dec.
22. Ration book five will not go
into use before Jan. 1.

drowned Monday in the Sandy

PLANT SEIZURE CERTAIN
PORTLAND, July 24 (UP)
Military seizure of the Spring
field plywood corporation plant
appeared certain today after AFL

FIRST USED AS MEDICINES
At first, tea and coffee were
used as medicines, and did not
become popular until they be
came more pleasant to the taste
by a better knowledge of brew
ing and the addition of sweeten
ing. An expedition headed by Dr.
Alfred Wegener found ice in the
center of Greenland more than
one and two-thirds miles thick.

Denver Restaurants
May Close Enemasse
DENVER. July Z4 (UP) Den
ver restaurant patrons faced the
possibility of a week-long fam
ine today when operators of the
city's major eating place reveal
ed a protest move against recent
OPA red point allotment reduc
tions was being considered.
A meeting ot the Colorado res
taurant association, representing
about 100 of Denver's largest res
taurants, will be held Thursday
where members will vote on a
proposal to shut down for a week.
Rex. Reese, president of tne
group, said restaurants and sand
wich shops affiliated with the
association serve more than half
the city's patrons. If the pro
posal is approved, he added, other
non-member operators will be
asked to close.
Reese explained the action
could not be considered a
strike," since restaurants will be
forced to close for lack of red
points. "We have to close any
way," he said. "We might as well
do it in a body to bring our trou
bles to the attention of the pub
