The managers, when Interviewed, almost all stated that lack of foresight on the part of OPA and WPB offl clals had been as much respon sible for the acute laek of chil dren's clothing as the actual shortage of material and man power. While children's shoes and outer clothing of all sorts have been difficult to secure, chil dren's underclothing and cer tain types of clothing for boys, such as corduroy trousers, hav.e been unobtainable at times, tt was stated by the store man agers that in the case of the in fants' and young children's un derclothing, regulations by OPA dealing with mark-ups were such that the manufacturers were unable to sell the garments at a profit and therefore many firms simply ceased to make them. Borne firms, particularly the larger manufacturers, had almost their entire output of knitted yarns requisitioned by .the army and navy, It was point ed out, and others have sold large orders for lend-lease ship ments. One manufacturer sold a single order of 750,000 Infants' Shirts for the lend-lease pro gram in Italy, according to a lo cal store manager. Press Congressmen Some manufacturers and wholesale firms have been urg ing their retail outlets to aid In a campaign to have congressmen ' bring pressure to bear on OPA and WPB for regulatory changos. letters and orders to these firms art merely rubber-stamped with statement to the effect that it parents want more clothina for their children, they should writ to their congressmen) While on or two local deal ers were hopeful that th situa tion would Improve soon, oth ers felt that It would be at least als month before there was any considerable change. It was agreed that shipments of winter underclothing have been coming in somewhat better and reliable wholesale sources have reported that both OPA and WPB are taking steps to Increase allot mania for civilian source, Managers warned, however. Ml probably th best effort of sWvertraiental agenelei and Manufacturers would be hop la to meet th greatly Increased demands el buyers who have more money than ever before to spend and reminded parents that even with the greatly cur tailed output for civilians, chil dren in this country are to much better clothed than those of any other that there Is as yet little cause for real concern.
