be kept healthy, he said. William L.
Batt and James S. Knowlson were
named vice chairmen of the board.
Lou E. Holland, formerly president
of the Double Rotary Sprinkler
Corp., of Kansas City, Mo., was ap
pointed WPB deputy chairman in
charge of the Smaller War Plants
Corporation. Chairman Nelson said
the corporation should attempt to
confine the manufacture of relative
ly simple war items to smaller fac
tories, increase the farming out of
manufacture of bits and pieces by
large corporations which hold prime
contracts, and encourage conversion
of additional small plants to essential
civilian production. The WPB es
timated, however, that 24,000 small
manufacturers whose annual sales
three years ago amounted to $4 bil
lion, will be forced to close before
October 1 because of inability to
convert to war or essential civilian
production.
The WPB said expenditures for
war purposes by U. S. Government
agenicies in June were at the aver
age daily rate of $158 million, 6 per
cent higher than in May. Congres
sional war appropriations to date
total more than $225 billion, the
board said, but the U. S. actually
has spent less than $40 billion. The
WPB Bureau of Finance obtained
$62 million in the form of loans or
advances on payments' for war ma
terials for almost 400 manufacturers
in June. During the past six weeks,
the Army Signal Corps has given
final acceptance each day to more
than $2 million worth of radio and
communications equipment, and aw
arded contracts for $1 billion worth
of additional apparatus.
Labor Supply
Persons who desire jobs in plants
on secret or confidential government
contracts will no longer be required
to turn in birth certificates to prove
American citizenship, the War Man
power commission, announced. .The
WPB Labor Division said the air
craft industry will require more
than 1,500,000 workers by the end
of 1943. A total of almost 20 million
persons will be drawn into war pro
duction and service in the armed
forces during this year and next, the
WMC reported. Consequently, em
loyers can no longer afford to set
arbitrary age limits or discriminate
against workers because of sex, race
or nationality, the commission stated.
The WMC said the United Electrical
Radio and Machine Workers of Am
erica (CIO) is conducting a drive
in 40 war production plants to en
courage hiring and upgrading of ne
groes and workers in other minority
groups.
Rationing
The OPA said about 8 million
eastern motorists have received ba
sic permanent gasoline rationing
coupon books. Congressmen, mem
bers of state and local legislatures
and other government officials will
be eligible for "special rations" for
use in legislative or official business,
and bona fide political candidates
may have extra rations for travel
necessary to the prosecution of their
candidacies, the office said. Special
rations will also be issued for travel
to obtain medical service, to demon
strate cars or boats for sale, to trans
port equipment and personnel of
scientific expeditions and to operate
a vehicle in tests essential to the
war effort.
The office ruled newspaper re
porters and photographers will be
eligible for supplementary rations
up to a quantity sufficient to permit
470 miles of occupational driving a

month if they can meet car pooling
provisions. Increased monthly gas
oline quotas will be given stations
servicing war workers. The WPB
granted OPA authority to require
filling station operators to submit
coupons or other evidence that ra
tioning regulations are being com
plied with, when gasoline is deliver
ed to their stations. The OPA said
local rationing boards may refuse to
issue new tires to eligible motorists
if an inspector's report shows the
purchaser has abused his old tires.
The "bonus" sugar stamp, number
seven in War Ration Book No. 1,
may be exchanged for two pounds
of sugar until midnight August 22.
The War Front
Recent Far Eastern events indi
cate "the turning point in air oper
ations has been reached and the
Japanese are now more on the de
fensive whereas the American air
forces are on the offensive," U. S.
Army Air Forces headquarters in
China reported. U. S. submarines
within two days sank or destroyed
five Japanese destroyers in the Al
eutians, the Navy said. The War De
partment said American troops are
now stationed at Port Moresby, al
lied base in New Guinea. The De
partment also announced that U. S.
crews, manning American-made me
dium tanks, knocked out a number
of German tanks in the Battle of
Libya in mid-June without any loss
es of their own personnel. Gen. Mac
Arthur reported more allied raids
on numerous enemy bases in the
southwest Pacific. The Navy an
nounced the toredoing by Axis sub
marines of 16 additional United Na
tions merchant vessels.
War Information
Director Elmer Davis of the Office
of War Information issued OWI reg
ulations number one, stating "the
Federal Government will issue as
promptly as possible all news and
background information essential to
a clear understanding of this nation's
war effort . , . the impact of the war
on all phases of American life will
be reported. So will the cooperative
efforts of the United Nations. Only
information which would give aid
and comfort to the enemy will be
withheld." Mr. Davis established
three major branches under himself
and OWI Associate Director M. S.
Eisenhower, with an Assistant Di
rector for each branch.
Gardner Cowles, Jr., President of
the Des Moines Register and Tri
bune and President of Look maga
zine, was placed in charge of Dom
estic Information Operations; Rob
ert Sherwood, in charge of Overseas
Information Operations; and Archi
bald MacLeish, Policy Department
The Armed Forces
The Army Specialist Corps, with
190,000 applications for membership,
will enlist more than 11,000 men
during the rest of this year, the
War Department said. WAAC Di
rector Hobby reported two of the
first eight WAAC companies, will
consist of Negro women, commanded
by Negro women, who will attend
the first WAAC Officer Candidate
school, President Roosevelt signed
a bill authorizing $8,500 million in
new naval warship construction with
emphasis on aircraft carriers. The
Marine Corps said it is now promot
ing competent noncommissioned offi
cers in the field to meet needs for
additional officers.

WAR BONDS
Ships of the Destroyer type com
prise the bulk of our fighting ships
in the American Navy. Their aver
age displacement is about 1800 tons,
and they are fast, powerful, and
hard hitting. They have been par
ticularly effective in convoy duty and
gave a good account of themselves
in the Coral Sea engagement. They
cost approximately $3,600,000 each.
Every Navy shipyard is turning
out Destroyers in record time. They
are essential for our two-ocean
Navy. Purchase of more and more
War Bonds will assure all-out pro
duction of these vital units for the
Navy. Buy every pay day. If ev
erybody invests at least ten percent
of his income in War Bonds we can
do the job. V. S. Treasury Department
ed by President Roosevelt to try
eight German saboteurs landed in
the U. S. by submarine, said the
great volume of evidence to be in
troduced is expected to prolong the
trial. The commission granted per
mission to the Army Signal Corps
to make photographs and silent pic
tures of the trial scene in the Jus
tice Department building in Washington.
