S. forces in the Far East. Before entry of the Japanese, American and Philippine troops were withdrawn and all defense installations removed or destroyed. General MacArthur earlier re­ ported the enemy had “merciless­ ly bombed” churches, a hospitals, convents, schools and other civilian installations in Manila after it was declared an open city, whereas they had only attempted bombing military installations previously. The President7sent a message to the Philippine Islands pledging that their “freedom shall be re­ deemed and their independence established and protected. . . During the week, the Navy re­ ported sinking two additional enemy ships and said three U. S. destroyers were attacked, but only slightly damaged. .

S. pro­ duction would be pooled, resulting virtually in the end of the Lend- Lease program as such, the Pres­ ident said that military resources have been pooled since the Jap­ anese attack.

SHIPS The Maritime Commission said the ship-a-aay goal in launchings of new ships has been reached and by the second quarter of' 1942 delivery should reach two ships a day. The Commission took over 16 Finnish ships that have been tied up in IT. S. ports.

The Navy also said it is con­ verting the French liber Norman­ die into an auxiliary. LABOR SUPPLY and TRAINING President Roosevelt denounced as “stupid” and ’’unjust” the in-, creasing discharges of loyal, ef­ ficient workers in American in­ dustries “simply because -they were born abroad or' because they have foreign-sounding names.” He said such unfair discharges engender “the very distrusts and disunity on which our enemies are counting.” OPM Associate Director Hill­ man announced almost 2,500,000 persons have been enrolled for training for war industry work since July 1, 1940. He asked pub­ lic vocational schools to expand their courses to permit use of all their facilities on a “round-the- clock” basis. Some war contrac­ tors are planning to employ as many new men in the next months as they have in the last eighteen, he said. AUTOS AND TIRES The OPM banned all sales of new passenger automobiles and the SPAB approved an OPM plan to halt production of these ve­ hicles “within a few weeks.” Tho temporary ban on the retail sale, delivery, purchase, or lease of new passenger cars and of new light and heavy trucks will remain in effect un til January 15, at which time a permanent rationing pro­ gram will be put in effect. OPM delegated to the Office of Price Administration authority to withhold all new tires except for essential health, safety, and industrial services. OPA set up tire-rationing boards in each county t£ the nation and issued regulations providing no tire can be obtained even for “essential” users unless a local garageman appointed as inspector has certi­ fied the need, the local hoard lias approved the application, and the number of tires sold in each county is within the county quota. New tires were defined as those used less tha»% 1,000 miles. No new re ­ strictions were placed on the sale of retreaded or recapped tires. PRICES Price Administrator Henderson set maximum manufacturers’ I prices toe, household cooking and i ’ oling stoves and for cigarettes, and issued a temporary schedule for rugs end carpets. Ho cent a letter to all wholesalers and retail­ ers of sugar stating the respond sibility for keeping stable the price of sugar new rests with the nation’s retailers.

A NICKEL is a big piece of motley, measured elec­ trically. You can buy a lot o f service with it. A month’s washing, for instance, or fifteen hours of radio entertain­ e r nient, or the cooking J of a dinner. The same nickel that buys one candy bar,'or one ice cream cone, and very little else, certainly goes to town when it buys elec- jip ) tricity. Think what you’d pay 4 k for the month’s washing that your washer turns i d out with a nickel’s V worth of current.
