I for Essential Operations Action to meet the immediate mileage requirements of farmers and other commercial motor vehicle operators whose ODT certificates of war necessity do not provide for as much gasoline as the operators deem necessary for essential operations was announced this week by the office of price administration and the office of defense transportation at Washington.

OPA, at the request of ODT, is instructing its war. price and ra tioning boards to issue temporary transport rations to such operators sufficient to take care of their needs between December 1 and January 31. In such cases, temporary transport rations win be issued by the boards on the basis of the operator's own estimate of his imnimun mileage needs, instead of on the gaHonage stated on the ODT war certificate. Local boards are being urged to limit these gasoline allowances to the applicant's minimum requirements. Judging each case on the basis of their knowledge of local conditions and mileage requirements of the applicant All rations issued under the temporary arrangement will be deducted from the operator's allotment granted by the ODT in the certificate of war necessity for the period beginning November 22.

1942, and ending March 31, IMS. OPA boards are asked to notify each applicant who claims an insufficient ODT ration to take an immediate appeal to ha OZT oTc "i it not already done so.

This action was necessary. ODT officials explained, to allow time to issue corrected certificates of war necessity in cases where original ODT allowances prove inadequate.

Interest, taxes and freight rates are also included In parity price computations.

Although the house included a similar wage 'cost provision In the price control bill for ceilings, passed a few months ago, the senate approved a substitute formula which has met with considerable criticism by producers. About tea days ago Economic Czar Byrnes announced that there is no ceiling on farm wages up to (200 per month, and the U. S. department of agriculture is planning contracts with farm labor involving wages in excess of current levels, to become effective with spring plantings. In reporting the wage formula, the house agriculture committee raid that farmers are entitled to equitable treatment with industrial producers.

Farm wage rates are going up daily, stated the committee, and "the president this week issued a removing all limitations on farm wage rates." The committee4 anticipates a grad-' wage rates, ana preaicia tnat the wage costs are not included in the parity formula, the increased production requested by the secre tary of agriculture will not be realized. Food Coats Are Less The federal bureau of agricultural economics recently issued statistics showing that the industrial worker and non-farm family are today buying their food at less cost, compared with income, than at any time in the past SO years. In 1913 it required 81 per cent of the family income of (1,049 for the retail cost of all foods. In 1918, the percentage increased to 36 per cent and in 1919 it reached a peak of 38 per cent The cost ratio varied in the following years, reaching an average of 27 per cent for the five years 1935 to 1939. From January to Au gust of 1943, it required only 22 per cent of the family income to purchase all foods at retail, thus refuting the claims made by some officials of the office of price administration that the producer is largely responsible for the infla tionary trends.

Although the senate is reported to be favorable to the new parity formula approved by the house last week, administration leaders have stated that its application would in crease tne cost or foodstuffs as much as 12 per cent Draft Board Members Honored at Supper A supper honoring the selective service board was held by the Amer ican Legion at 7 p. m.
