(International) RATIONING EASED ON RUBBER FOOTWEAR er Rationing regulations on certain | types of rubber boots and footwear have been relaxed by the Office of| Price Administration due to increas-| ed allotments of the product by the| War Production Board. { Under the new rules employers can obtain rubber footwear for their em- | ployes and consumers desiring below- | the-knee rubber boots are eligible for | ration certificates needed to obtain | them. Also, assorted types of rubber | boots and shoes needed by farmers | are released from rationing, provid- | ed the dealer involved files an inven- tory of such stock with his OPA of- fice. eV COAL RATION DECLARED ‘WHOLLY UNNECESSARY’ Chicago.—The American Retail Coal Association has warned Donald Nelson of the War Production Board that coal rationing would force many dealers throughout the country out of business. The association sent a telegram to Mr. Nelson asserting that coal ra- tioning was “wholly unnecessary.” Association directors representing 40,000 dealers said consumers’ coal| stocks are the highest in several | years. The directors said conservative es- timates indicated that future coal production will be ample. ——y HUNTERS MAY GET SHOTGUN SHELLS A War Production Board official at Washington gid the other day the agency hopes to release shotgun | shells for farmers and hunters some | time this fall. The ammunition, which farmers say they need to control rabbits and other field pests, will have to come from present stocks, he said, since none is being manufactured now. A tentative plan for the distribu- | ton probably will be announced in| the near future. No figures on the] amount of ammunition available is| obtainable at present, but indications are that state quotas will be fixed on a percentage of wholesale and re- tail sales during 1940 and 1941.
