GERMANS CONFISCATE
CHURCH BELLS
GET QUICK WORD
Next-of-kin of servicemen who
have been taken prisoner by the
enemy will receive swift and ac
curate notification, the office
of war information has announc
ed. The government immediately
will transmit free any accurate
information from a reliable
source dealing with prisoners of
war. OWI warned against relia
bility of enemy broadcasts and
against paying any private in
dividual or organization for such
information.
OTHER BAKERY PRODUCTS
TO BE ENRICHED
The food enrichment already
applied to white bread will be
extended to coffee cakes, sweet
buns, plain rolls, doughnuts, and
all other types of yeast-raised
commercial bakery products. Be
ginning January 16, in addition
to white bread, these products
must contain specified minimum
food values to the extent white
flour is used. The amendment
to the food order also provides
that consumers of bakery pro
ducts cannot for any reason re
turn bakery products they have
bought.
BLACK MARKET GAS
TO BE KILLED
In a new drive on gasoline
black markets, OPA has asked
distributors to “screen out” ir
regular coupons — any coupons
that are counterfeit, expired, not
yet valid, or not endorsed by the
motorist. Filling stations also will
be required to make good irregu
lar coupons, and their inventory
will be cut down by the amount
of irregular coupons passed on
to the wholesaler. Endorsement
as they receive ration books will
aid OPA in proving that black
market stations have purchased
coupons to cover up illegal sales.
EXPENDITURES OF
WAR INCREASE
U. S. War expenditures for
November went to a new high of
$7,794,000,000, an increase of
689 million dollars, or nearly 10
per cent, over October, WPB
has reported. The average daily
rates of expenditures for war
purposes was clo#e to the 300-
million-dollar mark in November.
GREATER REFRIGERATOR
QUOTA ANNOUNCED
Increased refrigerator quotas
for the first three months of
1944—40,000 more than for the
last quarter pf this year—have
been set by the war production
board. This increased production
is expected to care for the in
creased need for ice refrigerators
due to the unavailab lity of me
chanical refrigerators
In many Belgian towns relays
of volunteers guard the churches
night and day to give warning
of the impending removal of any
church bells by the Germans. In.
some places workmen who come
to remove the • church bells have
been stoned and Germans have
been obliged t-o force open bel
fry doors amid loud and angry
protests from the populations,
who gather in great demonstra
tions.
