3 officials after Office of Price Administration (OPA) assertions that "carelessness" re suited in a ration stamp burglary of the board last Sunday. Fred L. Castle, chairman of the board who resigned, charged that "money allotted by Congress to the OPA does not go to the proper places." He added that "the un-dqerlying cause is that our board, like many others, Is entirely too lightly staffed with paid per sonnel." In reply, the OPA here maintained that the same board had been burglarized once before, and Robert Parks, OPA district direor tor, declared: "The system now in effect for safeguarding ration currency is being adhered to by all ration ing boards. While it may be a hardship on the staff, the protection to the public Is of primary importance. "This system (of sending ration stamps to banks for overnight safekeeping) was not ad-.

hered to by board No. 3, and, consequently, the public has suffered a loss amounting to thou- sands of gallons of gas." Castle maintained that to keep the ration stamps in a bank would require board workers make several trips a day to a bank between five and six blocks away, "necessitating robbing our board of clerks busily doing their job of serving the public."

Action May Be Averted, Officials Believe WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. (AP) 5-Belief that a drafting of nurses may be averted was reported growing today in official circles. Representative Bolton, Republican of Ohio, said that in a series of conferences with Army, War Man Power, nursing and congressional leaders, she found them: Heartened by a spurt of enlistments. Hopeful that an Intensified recruitment program would eliminate necessity for the draft.

Mrs. Bolton, who acts as an unofficial Capitol Hill spokesman for the nursing profession, reported that there are "reports coming in from many areas of a flooding of the recruitment offices." Mrs. Bolton stressed that despite these developments she still favored the draft "if It proves necessary to obtain the nurses." HIT CALLED AGENT OF REDS Special to Th Examiner. NEW YORK. Jan.

Byrnes said tonight several hundred thousand 4-F's are in war jobs but there are "many thousands more" who could handle such tasks and aren't doing it. The views of the War Mobilization Director were contained in a letter to Gov. Herbert R. O'Conor of Maryland. They were elicited by a telegram protesting a draft of O'Conor disavowed the wire, saying his name was forged as the sender.

W. U. INVESTIGATES. The telegram was sent from Baltimore and Western Union was conducing an investigation there tonight. "I am advised that physical disqualifications which in no way interfere with working ability cause many rejections by the Army and Navy," Byrnes wrote.

"I think this is true of a considerable number of professional athletes who have been rejected by the armed services due to eye and ear injuries, football knees' and other causes, and yet are still able to hold their own on the football field. CITES FOOTBALL PLAYERS. "I am sure that you will agree with me that a man who can play professional football with success is probably able to work in war industry. "I agree with you that we should not induct into war industry sickly men who could not pass a satisfactory physical examination, but the physical qualifications for military service are quite different from the qualifications for work in some war industries."

of May's bill also are receiving a cool reception. Many members believe local draft boards have neither the time, the personnel nor the facilities to handle it. They have suggested the War Manpower Commission find jobs for the men affected the draft deferred be tween 18 and 45 and federal district courts deal with those who won't take them without good reason.

BOSTON, Jan. 12 The Pilot, official publication of the Catholic Archdiocese, today in a page one stpry suggested American taxpayers ask the State Department to demand the following commitments from Russia before signing a new lend-lease protocol: 1 That Mr. Stalin begin using the lend-lease material he has stocked on the' Vistula front, stop his political sitdown strike in front of Warsaw and keep his promise to attack on the shortest route to Berlin. 2 That Mr. Stalin stop using lend-lease to overrun the Balkans and equip unofficial armies to seize power in those countries.

That Mr. Stalin cease and desist from his attempt to foist a puppet government on Poland. That Mr. Stalin agree to the formation of a United Nations council to which all territorial questions would be submitted for joint settlement. The Pilot further suggested that no lend-lease protocol be signed unless Britain and France assure the United States they will not recognize at any time the Lublin committee recognized by Russia as the only lawful government of Poland.

NewPay Raise Policy Told WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. (AP) CIO President Philip Mur ray asserted tonight tnat Jijco-nomic Stabilizer Vinson has advised the War Labor Board (WLB) against making future wage adjustments without first learning from the Office of Price Administration (OPA) whether price hikes are involved and that this order is holding up a decision granting wage increases to textile workers. He also made public a letter from President Roosevelt which he interpreted as showing the Chief Executive has an "open mind" on the demand of both CIO and AFL for a general rise in waee ceilines and that the President on that issue will con sider other information in addition to the wage report now in preparation by the WLB.

So warned Fay W. Hunter, regional War Manpower Commission (WMC) director, speaking yesterday at closing sessions of a two' day conference of WMC directors from five western States and regional management-labor committee members. As an alternative to the forced release program, Hunter said, the west coast must "bear down" on its own program to redis tribute workers.

ESTIMATED FORCE. He estimated the west coast labor force at 3,500,000, and that in the Bay area in excess of 921,750. Purpose of yesterday's conference was to "review and approve" the regional program. Earlier, Sam Kagel, northern California WMC director, told conferees that Bay area war plants' job turnover was reduced 15.9 per cent last year. He warned, however, that the region still lacks 19,012 workers.

WARNING VOICED. Meanwhile in Sacramento the State Farm Production Council warned that "any shifting of workers from the normal labor supply, either into defense industry or into the military forces, will critically affect the State's entire farm production program." Pipefitters in Job Pledge Pipefitters have never been re moved from Bay area shipyards because of labor disputes with the machinists and they will keep their pledge that there will be no stoppage of work in shipyards or other projects in connection with war work. This statement was tele graphed from Washington, D. yesterday by Martin P. Durkin, general president of the United Association of Plumbers and Steamfitters, in reply to the com ments and decision on jurisdictional disputes recently made by Thomas Tongue, fact finding agent for the National War Labor Board.

"Our international and the International Association of Machinists have entered into a national agreement covering the work in dispute in the San Francisco Bay shipyards," Durkin said. "Local Union No. 68 of the machinists refused to comply with the terms of the agreement and are now performing work granted to the pipefitters under the agree ment. The pipefitters will remain at work, however, under their pledge." of Labor disclosed, now is working on- a revised list of essential jobs. It is understood the list may be broken into classes to protect the most critical war jobs when the Army and the Navy make heavy inroads into the pool of deferred younger men to meet their needs for 900,000 additional fighting personnel during the first half of this year.

The job classification list may be grouped into essential, critical, and supercritical categories, with men to be taken from them in that order.

Opposition to induction of these men into Army labor battalions previously had been voiced by spokesmen for the Army and the Navy. They neither wanted nor needed the men, they said, and preferred to see them dealt with under the penal provisions of the Selective Service Act, which provide for a $10,000 fine and five years imprisonment for men who disregard draft board orders.

SUBSTITUTE PLAN. A committee bloc headed by Representative Kilday, Democrat of Texas, is backing an amendment to eliminate the work battalion provision and substitute the Draft Act penalties for men who won't work- where they are needed, or fight. Army or Navy service, Kilday said, is something that should not be looked upon as punishment. The type of service nroDosed in May's bill would make the in ductees permanent "yard birds" and confine their work to unat tractive assignments. The job placement provisions A I MENT Men, Women!

The War Manpower Commission (WMC) dispatched to its regional directors a plan for a nationwide inventory of less essential firms.

It calls for em ployment "ceilings" for those with eight or more workers, and empowers directors to apply ceil ings to those with less than eight This would put strict limits on the number of people a firm may hire. The plan has already been tried out on a limited scale in some sections. MAN POWER DRAGNET. The commission's plan amounts to a dragnet for any surplus man power which then could be shifted to critical war plants. While Capitol Hill was busy with proposed legislation to increase the hosts of war workers, CIO President Murray told the Government, in effect, to cool off that there is enough man power to do the war job.

All it needs is smooth distribution, he said. "The way to solve the problem of production is not through such unworkable measures as the presently framed May-Bailey bill (work or fight for men between 18 and 45), Murray said. It is discrimination, he added, to single out certain groups for any special legislative clubs." Filling war plant jobs is a matter of "production and not a tary matter," Murray contended. AFLS PROPOSAL. The FL in its monthly survey took the same position that each plant behind schedule should be re-examined by the War -Production Board.

CIO officials said they will meet tomorrow with Army, Navy, WMC and WPB authorities to go into causes of shortages in critical war items. The conclusions will that down in bo out tins fr tor TnoWf Why Too Art, Kirk. WE Wit J. WCOYKR and JA)CA THE CAl'SK OF VOI I I. 8 S.
