IT'S A KING-SIZE BILLII CASUALTIES L (Continued From Page One) it will mean rationing clothing without question, even beyond the question of the amount of material which could be spared,'1 he told the committee, adding: No Plans So Far "We had hoped this year to get by without rationing cotton or woolen clothing." Today, Nelson summoned a press conference at which he de clared, as he had last Tuesday in a joint statement with Price Ad ministrator Prentiss Brown, that there are no present plans to ration clothing. (Supplies of wool, they said then, are sev eral million pounds greater than when the United States entered the war.) Check Further "I believe we are going to get by until late in the fall," Nelson told the conference, it the man power shortage is not as severe as it has been statistically pre sented, we won't have to ration at all." ' The production chief said "I don't accept" an estimate he at tributed to the war manpower commission that an indicated in crease of 4,300,000 men in the armed forces and 1,800,000 new war workers meant that 3,200,- 000 workers would have to be drawn from the industries now furnishing civilian goods and services. i would want to check it further," he said. His doubts as to the validity of those figures. Nelson said, were based in part upon the ex istence of considerable unem ployment in the clothing in dustry in New York and other centers. Avoid Run "I told the committee," Nelson said, "that I had hoped we could get by without rationing, but that if civilian production and services had to be reduced by 3,200,000 men we would have to reduce manufacture of a number of things. "If we have runs on stores, that's a great way to bring on rationing. I hope these runs don't continue. I am informed that the runs on clothing were pretty well stopped by yester day." - Nelson said there was no dis crepancy between, his remarks to the senate committee and his statement of Tuesday with Price Administrator Brown. "If" Basis His statement before the com mittee, he said, was entirely up on an "if basis in other words, that clothing rationing would be required only if the drain on the textile and other civilian in dustries is as great as the WMC expects. The WPB chief reported that stocks of wool were in "excellent shape" and at a record level, that cotton supplies were abund ant, that the supplies of manu factured clothes were in "pretty fair shape," and that it appeared considerably more workers could be brought into the cloth ing and textile industries from the present pools of unemployed In New York, and elsewhere. Leave Those Stamps In Ration Books PORTLAND, Feb. 12 m No. 17 stamps that have been de tached from the ration book are not- acceptable for over-the-counter shoe sales, the OPA said today. Exceptions were made for mail orders and in cases where merchants have given a stamp to a purchaser as credit for a pair of shoes returned. Phone The Herald and News, 3124, to place a classified ad.

It appears today that 20 Jap destroyers dashed into the Guadalcanal beaches and took off from 1000 to 2000 Japs, chief ly officers and technical men. We pounded them from the air, sinking three and crippling four more, but they pushed on and accomplished their mission. M still know nothing of OUR, losses. It you listen to the Tokyo radio at night, you know the Japs are peddling wild tales of vast destruction inflicted on us, hoping to prod our navy into disclosing information that will be valuable to them. WfE learn today that in their attack on our airfield at Wau in New Guinea (where they ran unexpectedly Into the Aus tralians in force) the daps lost 1000 killed. That's real war even in Rus sia. AGAIN you mustn't Jump to wrong conclusions. When tempted to think we're settins the Japs over a barrel, get out your map and COUNT THE ISLANDS they hold in me South Pacific. Then figure out how you'd go about taking them. TTERE'S a guess: 1 1 From this time on the Japs will be more interested In HOLD ING what they've seiied than in grabbing more. ANOTHER guess; " Watch Burma. A big allied army has been assembled in In dia. Burma is the back door to China. And we've simply GOT to keep China going.

Eittmatts Vary Once again, U. S. airmen took up the assault, sinking two de stroyers and damaging perhaps three or four others. Estimates of Japanese losses in the six-months campaign con tinued to vary, ranging from 20,000 killed in land fighting alone to 50,000 In the whole land-sea-air action. 560 Prisoners Originally estimated at 15,- 000 troops, the Japanese army on Guadalcanal was heavily re inforced, and Maj.-Gen. Alexan der A. Vandcgrlft, who com manded the marines on the is land, said in Philadelphia today that the enemy lost 30,000 men In a single landing attempt "In the months of campaign ing," Gen. Vandegrlft added, "we took only 660 prisoners. Maj.-Gcn. Millard F. Harmon, commander of U. S. army troops In the South Pacific, said prob ably 2000 Japanese, Including virtually every high officer, were evacuated from the island in the week before the Ameri cans "blotted out" the last enemy resistance. Japs Claim 8hlps Approximately 6000 Japanese were reported killed in the cli mactic drive since January 10. Meanwhile, imperial Tokyo headquarters made the totally unconfirmed claim that Japa nese submarines had sunk six ships totaling 54,000 . tons off the east coast of Australia sines mid-January. ' On the Burma, front, British headquarters' reported that Field Marshal Sir Archibald. P. Wa veil's imperial legions, driving back- into Burma from India, had thrown, back a series of sharp Japanese counterattacks along the Bay of Bengal coast A communique said the enemy attacked in the region of Donbaik and Rathedaung, soma 25 miles north of the key Japanese coastal base at Akyab. Meat Ration to Be Equal for All Persons (Continued From Page One) at all for very small children. Since teething babies consume at least a small amount of meat, especially bacon, the rejected plan would have forced parents to divide their meager rations with the small children. The mechanics of coupon rationing did not seem to permit any slid ing scale. March 28 is the date that OPA is shooting at in its planning on meat. It . would prefer an earlier date in the hope that rationing will equalize the cur rent supply, which is only fair in some communities and almost non-existent in others.
