A WEEK OF THE WAR
“A Week of the War”
summarizes information on the
important developments of the week made available by
official sources through moon EWT, Monday, August 3.
Price Administrator Henderson announced that maximum gasoline
prices in the rationed area of 17 Eastern States and the District of
Columbia will be reduced 2% cents a
gallon beginning August 5. He also
announced reduction of 0.9cents for kerosene, 1.1 cents on distillates and
light heating oils, and 15 cents a barrel on residual fuel oils.
son said the reductions were made ,
possible under the recent agreement
worked out by the Office of Price
Administration, the Office of Pe-
troleum Coordinator and the Re-
construction Finance Corporation,
whereby the Defense Supplies Cor-
poration will absorb the extra
transportation costs for moving pe-
troleum into the Atlantic seaboard
area.
Commerce Secretary Jones re-
ported the Defense Plant Corpora-
tion will finance a two-point pro-
gram to convert existing steel dry-
cargo barges into tank barges to
transport oil, and to improve exist-'
ing inland waterways. The Bureau
of Mines estimated the national gas-
oline demand for July, August and |
September will be about 17 percent
less than in the corresponding per-
iod last year, eleminating the ne-
cessity for a large winter accumu-
lation of stocks.
Consumer Supply and
Maximum Prices
President Roosevelt issued a
statement that every user of fuel
and heating oil on the east coast
“should face realistically the fact
that there can be no guarantee that
he will get enough oil event to meet
his minimum needs.”
The OPA established a wholesale
ceiling price on milk and cream,
sold in bottles or paper contain-
ers, at the distributor's highest
March level. The action was taken
to prevent a price “squeeze” on
milk retailers by some milk distrib-
utors. The Office set a ceiling price
of four cents a pound for waste
kitchen fats now being sold by
housewives in the salvage program,
and a ceiling price of five cents a
pound for the sale of the same fats
from meat dealers to renders.
Price Administrator Henderson
established a 60-day temporary ceil-
ing on wholesale and retail lamb
prices, at the highest levels charged
by each seller during the period
July 27-31. The temporary ceiling
on lamb prices, effective August 10,
places every major meat item ex-
cept poultry under Government
price regulations. The OPA said Ar-
mour & Co., Swift & Co., and Wil-
Mr. Hender-
son & Co., Inc., have agreed to
submit for auditing the sales rec-
ords of all their branch houses for
the purpose of refunding to their
customers (wholesalers and re-
tailers) all charges made in excess
of the maximum prices for beef and
pork.
|
President Roosevelt told his press
conference there are three reasons
for the current meat shortage in the
East and some mid-Western States:
(1) It is the off season for beef.
(2) People have a good deal more
money with which to buy more
and better cuts of meat. (3) This
country has around 4,000,000 men
under arms for whom meat supplies
must be prepared months in ad-
vance. Mr. Roosevelt said the peo-
ple will have to expect new short-
ages from time to time because that
is part of the price of winning the
war.
Farm income
During the first half of 1942 cash
income from farm marketings total-
ed 5,773 million dollars compared
with 4,012 million dollars in the
same period last year, the Agri-
culture Department reported. In-
come from crops was up 36 percent
and income from livestock and
livestock products was 48 percent
greater. The department said a
record volume of marketings is ex-
pected in the latter half of 1942.
Total cash income from farm mar-
ketings during 1942, including Gov-
ernment payments, probably will
exceed 14,500 million dollars, the
report said.
Rationing
The outlook for obtaining sup-
plies from the Caribbean has ‘taken
a turn for the worse” because of
submarine warfare and the amount
of shipping diverted to war pur-
poses, the OPA said. The Office
asked sugar refiners in Louisiana
and Texas not to ship to sugar
markets in Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio until at least September 1
because of a shortage in their home
States. OPA said these restrictions
will have to be continued if receipts
from Cuba and Puerto Rico are be-
low expectations.
Under rationing regulations per-
sons owning more than one type-
writer may dispose of their ma-
chines only to authorized dealers or
to the Procurement Division of the
Treasury, OPA said. The Office
ruled all new adult bicycles are sub-
ject to rationing “even though they
{ may have. been disassembled or al-
tered or the parts changed.”
War Bond Purchases
July sales of War Bonds totaled
$900,900,000, second highest month-
In The Hawks’ Nest
LOOKING OVER the latest thing in fighter planes during his recent
visit to the U. S. was more than a matter of courtesy to 19-year-old King
Peter of Jugoslavia.
The young monarch is an aviation enthusiast and
an expert pilot. Here King Peter, in the uniform of the R. A. F.,
inspects
the removable belly-tank of a new Warhawk fighter plane at a Curtiss
Wright factory.
Planes of this type were used by Gen. MacArthur on
Bataan and are in service in China, Russia and the Middle East.
ly amount on record and 250 million
above June sales.
Transportation
The Office of Defense Transpor-
tation took over allocation of all
new buses and froze all integral-
type buses in the hands of manu-
facturers. Under the new plan, the
ODT will grant permission to buy
new buses only when the purchasers
sign an agreement giving ODT au-
thority to transfer the buses for use
elsewhere if transportation difficul-
ties develop. ODT Director Eastman
asked Public Service Commissions
of the States to make a nation-
wide survey of local rail and bus
passenger services to eliminate du-
plications. War Production Chair-
man Nelson said the WPB is study-
ing the proposal of shipbuilder
Henry Kaiser to build 5,000 large
cargo planes in converted ship-
yards. The Maritime Commission
reported U. S. shipyards broke all
records in July as 71 new merchant 1
vessels were put into service, mak-
ing a total of 299 cargo vessels and
tankers produced during the first
seven moaths of this year.
The War Front
Lt. Gen. Stilwell's China head-
quarters reported U. S. airmen have
broken the back of an elite force
of Japanes» bombers ‘and fighters | &=
assembled for the purpose of driv-
ing them out of China. The climax |
was reached July 30, the communi-
que said, when 17 Japanese bomb-
ers and new type Zero fighters were
shot down. Gen. MacArthur's
Australian headquarters announced

Island in the Netherlands East In-
dies to Guadal-Canal Island in the
Solomons. The Navy announced the
sinking of four United Nations mer-
chant vessels by enemy submarines.
Trial Of Nazi Saboteurs
The Supreme Court ruled that
the charges preferred against the
eight Nazi saboteurs allege an of-
fense “which the President is au-
thorized to order tried before a
military commission,” that the com-.
mission is lawfully constituted, and
that the saboteurs are held in “law-
ful custody.” The saboteurs were
brought again before the military
commission.
The Armed Forces
The President signed a bill creat-
ing the Women’s Auxiliary Reserve
in the Navy, which will be made
up at first of 1,000 commissioned
officers and about 10,000 enlisted
members. He also signed a bill to
permit the CAA to train airplane
mechanics in its Civilian Pilot
Training Centers. The Army has
asked for training of 31,000 me-
chanics. Selective Service Head-
quarters instructed 55 local boards
to induct during August some men
classified in 1-B with certain types
of physical defects.
