LACK OF CLOTHING
FOR YOUNGSTERS
LAID TO OPA, WPB
Local Merchants Explain In
ability To Obtain Under
wear And Other Garments
Mothn who are unable to
buy clothing for their sons and
daughters should lay the blame
on the Office of Price Adminis
tration, on the War Production
Board and on the lend-lease pro-
- aram. as well as on the lack of
materials and manpower tor
factories and wholesalers, ac
cording to Meriford department
store managers. 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.
California Lacks
Power to Erase
Blackbird Plague
Sacramento, Oct. 27 CUR)
The state today was trying to
do something about a plague
of blackbirds throughout Cal
ifornia, only to find that
there's nothing they can do
about the raucous birds under
federal law.
To everybody's surprise, in
cluding that of Oov. Earl
Warren, acting director of
natural resources William H.
Moor said that anyway
blackbirds are protected by
federal game laws.
