Chairman Nelson reported the U. S. Is now producing three and a half times the rate in November, 1941, the month before Pearl Harbor. July production, he said, was 16 per cent above June production, but 7 per cent short of production forecasts made at the beginning of July. "The big job ahead of us right now is to bring our program into balance and make sure that we use our materials and facilities as wisely as 'This means possible," he said. that we must redouble our efforts, particularly on the low spots, if We are to make our goals by the Nazi-occupi- Bat-tallio- bat-tallio- COZY THEATRE The housing situation has become so critical in Utah, Salt Lake, Davis, Weber and Boxelder counties that many state and federal officials have become greatly alarmed over the need for many new accommodations for defense workers and the shortage of available housing facilities. One of tht proposals to remedy this critical situation is the possible shifting of population in instances where those shifts could be accomplished without injury to the war effort It has been suggested that the state and county departments of welfare urge recie assistance, and pients of other public assistance clients who are unemployed, to move voluntarily from the centers in the state where there are defense industries into the less densely populated districts. Whether or not such a plan is feasible, or even advisable may be open to debate, said David R. Trevithick, chairman of the public welfare commission, but it has been tried in some other 'states, and has, in a few instances, produced gratifying results. Before such a plan can even be considered seriously, Mr. Trevi-- , thick said, it is imperative that the welfare department have cer-- i tain information regarding the j housing situation in the various counties. Duchesne Beckstrand, , Orrin county director of public welfare, asks that owners who have vacant houses or rooms available, submit to his office Information concerning the condition of the dwellings, how large they are, whether or not they are equipped with electricity, bath, toilet facilities, etc., what rental would be asked, and other pertinent information. Also what accommodations would be available for persons who want only a single room or room and board. If any action is to be taken, it will need to be taken immediately, and it is urged that house owners submit this information to the Duchesne office at once. , Besides relieving the crowded condition in the war industries areas, moving public assistance clients into Duchesne and 6thtr counties, would provide an income to owners of homes here which are at present unoccupied and would bring considerable welfare money which would be of great value to local merchants. Since the county tax J vy of 5 mills for welfare purposes is set by law, this would not mean an additional load on the county. old-ag- j , shey said draft boards will begin calling men with dependents before Christmas He said single men with "secondary" dependents, such as aged or crippled relatives, iwill be called first; married men whose wives work, next; then men with dependent wives, and finally men who have wives and children. He said the reservoir of men throughout the country is "practically exhausted. Selective Service Headquarters said Class (men fit for limited ilitary service only) will be eliminated, and beginning September 1, add registrants who are not totally disqualified will be reclassified in while those not suited for military service will be In the case of men placed In reclassified in the army will determine after Induction whether they will be assigned to full or limited service. Stabilization of Farm Prices Secretary of Agriculture Wlck-ar- d said he would approve a plan of livestock ceiling prices which "must not permit abnormal profits to anyone In the Industry at the expense of the producers or consumers. Mr. Wickard also said he now favors repeal of the provisions of the price control act "that prohibits ceilings on processed farm products if the ceiling price reflects a farm price of less than 110 per cent of parity. He said farm prices "have reached parity on an average. The WPB Food Requirements Committee asked the armed Adminisforces, the Lend-Leas- e tration, and the War Production Board to collaborate in working out a program for allocation of all government meat purchases as equitably as possible among federally inspected packers. The Agricultural Marketing Administration bought $137,900,000 worth of foodstuffs during July for the United Nations and other rcqulie-mentincluding 80,000 pounds of dehydrated beef. Rationing Tire quotas will have to follow a downward trend the rest of this year to keep within the amount of rubber earmarked by the WPB for the purpose, the Offee of Price Administration said.

Oil and Gasoline WPB Chairman Nelson appointed under Secretary of War PatPetroleum Coordinator terson, Ickes and Price Administrator Henderson as a committee to determine whether fuel oil should be rationed in the East Coast area this winter. Because of the shortage of fuel oil in the area, Mr. Ickes prohibited the hauling of automotive gasoline by rail in 20 middle western and southwestern states in order to divert enough tank cars to carry 100,- 000 barrels of fuel oil daily to the rationed area. If the with' drawal of these 5,000 to 7,000 tank cars creates a shortage, rationing should be extended, Mr, Ickes said. Pro- fessor A. J.
