The Week in the War

President Roosevelt, in a special message to Congress, reduced his WPA request for fiscal 1943 from $465 million to $283 million. He said the war effort is drawing workers from every available source, thereby reducing the need for a work relief program. To meet labor shortages, he said, even organized migration of workers may be necessary. The revised WPA program would provide for an average monthly employment of about 400,000 persons "who will not be hired by private employers because of age, lack of skills, or other handicaps." Chairman McNutt of the War Manpower Commission directed the U. S. Employment Service to maintain lists of skilled occupations essential to war production in which a national shortage exists, and to make preferential referrals of workers to employers in war industries. He directed the WPB to classify war plants and war products in the order of their urgency to the war program. He also instructed Selective Service local boards to confer with local U. S. Employment Service offices before classifying any men skilled in war occupations. Mr. McNutt said if it is possible to insure full utilization of manpower through voluntary means, "it will be unnecessary to put into effect legal controls to limit freedom of action of workers and employers." He said compulsion "may from time to time be necessary," however, in the administration of the manpower program. He hoped two-thirds of all jobs in vital war industries can be handled by women. RUBBER AND GASOLINE-The WPB said if Americans do not conserve the transportation miles in their tires it may be necessary eventually to transfer automobiles and tires to communities where they are needed more. The board repeated no rubber can be spared in 1942 or 1943 to make new tires for ordinary passenger cars, because the armed forces need all the rubber the nation can muster, must be stockpiled synthetic program and greatly curtailed crude sources. The synthetic program might produce 12,000 tons of rubber this year and 350,000 tons in 1943, the board said. Price Administrator Henderson reported a preliminary count of car owners in the eastern rationing area showed about 10 per cent received X ration cards, 31 per cent received A cards, 11 per cent received B-1 cards, another 11 per cent received B-2 cards, and 37 per cent received B-3 cards. The OPA ruled X cards must be surrendered if the purpose for which they were issued does not cover "substantial" all of the use of the car for which they were provided. THE ARMED FORCES-House and Senate conferees agreed on legislation to increase the pay of privates and apprentice seamen to $42 per month, and of privates first class to $48, and to provide pay raises for the other ranks of enlisted men. President Roosevelt set June 30 as the registration date for young men between the ages of 18 and 19 and for those who reached their 20th birthday between December 31, 1941, and June 30, 1942. Only men 20 or older are subject to military service under the Selective Service System. The Navy announced it will begin recruiting about 1,000 Negroes a month on June 1. The Marine Corps First Reserve Battalion of Negroes will recruit about 900 men during June and July. The Marine Corps also reported it will waive certain physical requirements in order to present commissions to civilian specialists 20 to 50 years of age. The Army doubled the quota of 111-A SS registrants it will accept monthly a volunteer for officer training. WOMEN'S ARMY AUXILIARY CORPS - Recruiting for the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps' first officer candidate school will begin May 27, the War Department reported. Application blanks may be obtained only by going in person to one of the 440 regular Army recruiting stations throughout the country. The term of enrollment will be for the duration of the war and not more than six months thereafter. Officer candidates must be citizens of the United States, between the ages of 21 and 45, with a high school education or its equivalent, in good health and of excellent character. They may be married or single. The first class will consist of approximately 450 women, and will begin about July 15. THE WAR FRONT - President Roosevelt said the U. S. still faces the prospect of a long war, and overly enthusiastic optimism would progress rather than justified. The President presented the Congressional Medal of Honor to Brigadier-General James H. Doolittle, who led the party of 80 men who bombed the Japanese mainland in Army B-25 bombers April 18. No U. S. planes were shot down in the raids. General MacArthur's headquarters in Australia reported the sinking of another Japanese cruiser, two cargo ships and two enemy transports. United Nations planes continued attacks against the enemy aircraft and damaged nine others. Twelve more United Nations vessels were sunk by enemy submarines in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. PROTECTION OF CIVILIANS AND ESSENTIAL FACILITIES -The President announced the Federal Security Agency, Office of Civilian Defense and Red Cross have agreed upon a coordinated plan to assist civilians injured or needy result of this country. The OCD Emergency Medical Service will have immediate responsibility for care of persons injured by air raids or shelling, and emergency feeding and housing will be under OCD local Defense Corps. The Red Cross will furnish supplementary equipment such as ambulances. The President directed the OCD to formulate (with War Department approval) a facility security program to protect "essential facilities" such a highways, communication systems, utilities and mines against sabotage, and to correlate it with such programs already placed in effect by the Army, Navy and Federal Power Commission. TRANSPORTATION - The Office of Defense Transportation banned operation of all sight-seeing bus services and restricted use of chartered busses to such essential operations as transporting members of the armed forces, war workers and school children. Four bus lines operating between New York City and Washington, D. C., were ordered to pool passenger vices, stagger schedules, permit interchange of tickets and eliminate duplicating services. The ODT also reported it has begun a survey of intercity bus and railroad passenger travel in 100 selected cities to determine necessary adjustments of travel requirements to available facilities. The Office requested employers to help reduce weekend travel by arranging mid-week departure for employees who plan vacations. SHIPBUILDING - The President, in a national maritime day, statement May 22, said, "We will perform this near-miracle of ship production. The nation's shipbuilding capacity has been increased more than 500 per cent. That of itself is an outstanding achievement. War Shipping Administrator Land said 138 ships have been delivered into service so far this year," approximately 35 per cent more than were delivered in all of last year. We have reached the stage of delivering two ships a day. By fall we will be delivering three a day." Maritime day was observed also with the mass launching of 27 cargo vessels. HOUSING AND CONSTRUCTION - Nineteen AFL building trade unions signed an agreement with the Government to stabilize wages on Federal construction for one year at rates paid under collective bargaining agreements in effect July 1, the Labor Department reported. A seven-man wage adjustment board, comprised of Assistant Labor Secretary Tracy, three members of the building trade unions and three representatives of the Government agencies involved, will administer the agreement. The House completed Congressional action on legislation to increase from $300 million to $800 million the amount of housing loans which may be insured by the Federal Housing Administration. The Federal Public Housing Authority said it will receive bids in June on construction of 31,000 housing units.

State Exhibit In Atlantic City Opens Tomorrow

DELAND, Fla., May 29—The Florida State Exhibit will open tomorrow on the Heinz pier on the Atlantic City Boardwalk while the exhibit on the steel pier will open June 20, according to Earl M. Brown, manager of Florida National Exhibits. "Atlantic City is anticipating a successful season," said the exhibit manager, upon his return from a survey of wartime conditions at this popular northern resort, where the Florida exhibits were held last year. "Train travel is already at a mid-summer peak and hotel reservations are ahead of last year. Hotel and business men there believe that people are coming to Atlantic City for longer periods of time. With the automobile, people usually came just for the day, but now it is believed families will come for extended stays. A straw in this direction is the increase in trunks and heavy luggage being checked on trains. "In Atlantic City they are looking forward to the same reaction as that enjoyed by the British coastal resorts which had the best season in years of their careers, according to authoritative information. "If Atlantic City and other northern resorts enjoy a huge, successful season this summer it will indicate that Florida's next winter tourist season, with the staggering of vacations to include winter furloughs, may be better than many anticipate in spite of tire and gasoline shortages. In any event, Florida cannot afford to neglect advertising a tourist business valued at over a billion dollars. "We believe that at no other place except an international exposition can we reach so many people from all parts of the United States as in Atlantic City. We estimate that approximately 20,000 persons a day visited the Florida exhibits during the months of July and August last summer and expect thousands this summer who will be interested in coming to Florida in the future."

Tax Group's Chief Asks Curb On Spending

TAMPA, May 29 (FNS)—Terming "indifference" a dangerous sixth column, George S. Lenfestey, newly-elected president of the Florida Taxpayers' Association, said today that the citizens and taxpayers of Florida must arouse themselves and unite a militant effort to curb the reckless spending of tax monies on non-essential governmental activities. "The great masses of straight thinking people want non-essential spending stopped," Lenfestey said, "and it will be stopped only when you and your friends and neighbors stop it. "We need every available tax dollar for the war effort. Budgets—city, county state and national — must be carefully checked and revised to eliminate the frills, deadwood and non-essential items that are costing taxpayers unnecessary millions. Billions in taxes and mountains of debt will be needed to win the war. Good citizens will make any sacrifice and pay every dollar needed in this all-out fight for victory, but government must also make sacrifices. Tax dollars must be rationed, too." Lenfesty said that between now and the next legislative session the Florida Taxpayers' Association will conduct research and carefully scrutinize governmental expenditures with the view of making concrete recommendations designed to eliminate waste and unnecessary items in state and county budgets, and is now strengthening its organization in a membership campaign which will insure a powerful taxpayers' representation at Tallahassee when the next state budget is under consideration. "Every Florida property owner and taxpayer should join our organization in his own interest and in the interest of better and more economical government," Lenfesty said. "We have a real fight on our hands and we are going to take both money and manpower to win it. During the past seven years this association has unselfishly fought the people's fight, opposing powerful and well financed interest that has attempted to shift the tax burden or advocate wasteful spending. We led the fight that prevented a sales tax, and presented a tax program approved by the Supreme Court that has already brought relief to thousands of taxpayers, but this is only a start and much more needs to be done. And it can be done if the people of this state will join with us in the effort. Lower taxes and better government will come when the people unite and demand it."

THANK YOU SO MUCH

During the years in which I conducted the gift shop known as the College Cupboard, with satisfactory financial success because of the patronage accorded by a valued clientele.

In closing the College Cupboard I am taking this method of saying to my customers and friends that their patronage was deeply appreciated. Again, I thank you. RICHARD G.
