for the navy's recently expand
ed radar training program, Herb

regarding this important branch

bra and general science has an
excellent chance of being accept
ed as a candidate and of success
fully completing the ten-month
course of advanced radio and
electronics which the navy's
radar training embraces, accord
ing to Craln.
The recruiter suggests that
those interested in this type of

whether they can qualify both

BIG TURMOIL IN
PORTLAND STORES
Portland, Ore., Dec. 27 U.PJ
Inspectors from the office of
price administration today
checked Portland's retail stores
to see if new rationing orders
were in effect, following a day
of confusion and near riots over
conflicting practices.
Police had to be summoned to
a downtown store, where - the
invalidated stamps were being
accepted, when the manager re
ceived official notice from the
OPA on the new orders and
abruptly cut off hundreds of cus
tomers in long lines. Lesser buy
ing sprees were reported
throughout the Portland area as
harassed OPA officials tried to
cope with the failure of orders
to arrive from national head
quarters. McDannell Brown, Portland
OPA district director, said any
acceptance of the old stamps by
dealers since 12.01 a. m. Tues
day would be a violation of the
law and that the OPA does not
have to give any notice other
than that already appearing in
the press and other publicity
agencies.
There was some indication
that dealers who accept cancel-,
ed stamps will be refused per
misison to deposit them in ration
bank accounts without first sub
mitting a sworn statement that
they were taken in exchange for
goods before December 26.
Most stores accepting itamps
yesterday were swept clear of
