READY FOR PUBLIC
DECEMBER 3 TO 1 5
Washington, July 24 (U.B
Price Chief Chester Bowles an
nounced today that 150,000.000
copies of war ration book five
which he hopes will be WAi
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
edition since gas rationing be
gan.
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."
Bowles said book five was de
signed to serve for 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 had in
formed OPA that meats and fats,
canned 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." "

75,000 WORKERS
RIGHT
Washington, July 24 (U.B
Director J. Monroe Johnson of
the Office of Defense Transpor
tation told Senate War Investi
gators today that the railroads
need 75,000 more workers "right
iw."
Otherwise, he said, the army's
2,000,000-man redeployment pro
gram cannot possibly be carried
out In the scheduled 10 months.
'Extra engines and more
equipment are no salvation
now. Johnson roared, pounamg
the mahogany witness table.
Only Problem
'Manpower if our only prob
lem. If they will give me the
manpower, we can get this job
done. But if they don't, we
can't."
At the same time, Johnson
said if civilians keep on behav
ing as they are now he thinks
"we can get by" without fur
ther travel restrictions.
"The public has really cut
their travel," he said.
The "if" in this outlook ap
peared to be sizable. Asked if his
remarks meant there was noth
ing to reports that ODT was con
sidering extension of the 450
mile Pullman ban to runs of 750
miles, Johnson said:
"You've heard .me. If civilians
keep on behaving like they're
behaving and if I get the man
power I really think I won't
have to add any more restrictions."

NO SOAP RATION
SAYS ANDERSON
Washington. July 24 VJ R)
Secretary of Agriculture Clinton
P. Anderson said today there
would be no rationing of soap.
He also promised civilians a
100,000,000 pound increase in
their next year's supply of
heavy-duty laundry flakes, chips
and granulated soap.
If we were to have soap ration
ing," Anderson said, "it would
be necessary for me, as secretary
of agriculture, to authorize it,
and I do not plan to issue such
authorization."
He explained that a recent
statement by Herbert Lehman,
director of the United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation admin
istration, describing large soap
needs of Europe apparently led
to rumors that soap soon would
be rationed.
