This church is one of peculiar in

but to others who listen with admir

the story of the two churches—Pres

century have worshipped at their

same building. .

this is true and that it has been done
in a most harmonious manner.

Rationing will probably go on—at
least some items—throughout most
of 1946, in the opinion of Chester;
Bowles, head of the Office of Price;
administration. But he expects that 1
rationing will be all over by the end
of next year and that the new No. 5
ration book, which will be distrib-,
uted. in December, wiff be the last
book to be issued.
Use of rationing stamps is said to
be simplified in the new book. The
new stamps will have only a num-'
ber, instead of a letter and number.
It will have red stamps for meat and!
blue stamps for other foods. Other 1
stamps are provided for sugar, shoes
and miscellaneous items which may
be rationed.
In December a new gasoline ration
book will also be issued, indicating
that gasoline rationing will also con-;
tinue for most of 1946. The new “A"!
gasoline couppns will be the same
as at present except that they will;
be a different color. By changing the;
color they will make useless the cou- |
pons which are now in the hands of j
the black market as well as those
which have been counterfeited.
Half Million
Automobiles Can Be
Built This Year
Washington, Aug. 12. — Predicting
a flood of steel for consumer goods
at the war’s end, a government of
ficial estimated today that at least
500,000 automobiles can be built this
year — double the output planned
previously.
So far as steel and other materials
are concerned, the production vol
ume of manufacturers could be
much greater, said the spokesman,
an official of the War Production
Board who asked that his name not
be used.
“Plant facilities limitations and the
time required to get production roll
ing will be the only factors restrict
ing output of cars or ahy other civil
ian product,” he said.
Even so, the automobile produc
tion rate early next year is expected
to be at or above prewar output of
4,000,000 cars a year.
Earlier WPB had predicted that
the end of the war probably would
not mean many more cars this year
than the 250,000 scheduled on a basis
of the war continuing. I
This cautiousness was dispelled,
however, as the military’s plans for
huge munitions cut-backs began to
materialize.
These plans call for reductions in
army purchases exceeding $25,000,-
000,000 on an annual basis. The navy
already has halted construction of
95 ships costing $1,200,000,000, and
will make further deep cuts soon.
All of this led to estimates by pro
duction officials that the current
munitions output rates of about
$48,000,000,000 a year probably will
skid to $12,000,000,000 within a few
weeks after V-J day. Maintenance,
food purchasing and other miscellan
eous items are expected to keep mili
tary expenditures at about that level
for some time.
