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

today.
Exceptions were made for

a week and a half trickles In to
us.
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.

the Japanese destroyers steamed
on toward Guadalcanal and
were believed to have evacuat

personnel undor cover of pre
dawn darkness off Cape Esper-
ance.
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

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.
