Washington, D. C., July 12.—
(NWNS)—When the war first
started it used to be referred to
consistently as an all-out war in
which every man and woman in
the country would be called upon
to play an equally vital part.
But as wartime regulations
were worked out and refined, it
began to look to observers here
more and more like other wars
in which some groups are excused
from service to their country,
others are able to make profits
out of war and millions are sort
of in-between — doing a little, but
not enough to make them feel
that the war has required real
personal sacrifice from them.
But the President’s request for
a law to draft men up to 65 for
non-combat duty has brought
things back to that all-out status.
If miners who strike can be
drafted into the army, it is
pointed out by military leaders,
it will follow that anyone who
abuses wartime regulations and
shows an unwillingness to play his
part can also be forced to per
form the task which the govern
ment feels will be most helpful
toward winning the war.
Some congressmen question
whether a new law making it
possible to draft miners into the
army for war work is necessary,
for they say that the War Man
power commission has the power
right now to assign any man in
the country to any kind of work.
But whether the Manpower group
has that authority or not, it
hasn’t been utilized and 4t is
doubtful if it could be carried
out practically without making
use of the army draft.
Although the President hasn’t
been too definite about the word
ing of the law he would like to
have, it is obvious that if a law
SIMON
were passed making it possible to
draft all miners under 65, that
law would apply to other groups
as well and would make many
family heads, now exempt from
the draft, eligible for service.
In general, the President’s re
quest for such a measure has act
ed as a “go” signal to a congress
which has been champing at the
bit waiting for some guidance as
to what type of legislation could
be enacted which would end
strikes and end other abuses of
war time regulations.
It is quite likely that the con
gress will pass a stronger law
than the President had in mind,
since it is obvious here that con
gress for a long time has wanted
to take strong action against
rebels.
This action of the President’s,
incidentally, is the third demon
stration within a few months of
the power which the public still
wields in this country. The pub
lic has been so insistent on hav
ing something done about the
miners that congress finally put
through an anti-strike bill which
had been around for almost two
years. Then the President recom
mended even stronger legislation.
Before that, congress passed and
the President signed a pay-as-
you-go tax, even though congres
sional leaders and the President
had previously indicated that
they were opposed to this legisla
tion.
There is a strong feeling here
that the people of the country
are suddenly being heard more
clearly than they have been in
a long time. Congressmen watch
their mail and their home town
papers with greater interest than
they used to. And- they know
that their votes, their speeches
and their views are being follow-

Columbia, July 13. — Merchants
with odd lots of shoes will soon
have a chance to sell them to
their customers without requiring
stamps, the State Office of Price
Administration announces today.
The plan will permit merchants
to sell a certain percentage of
their shoes based on the number
of pairs they had on hand on
April 10, less the number they
had on hand July 6. The figures
are 1 per cent for men’s and
boys’ shoes, 4 per cent for wom
en’s shoes, 2 per cent for misses,
children, and infants’ shoes, and
2 per cent of other rationed
shoes.
A merchant may not charge
more than TO per cent ab ve the
cost of the iJioes. And such shoes
sold must be marked “odd lot”
within each pair before the-shoes
leave the store. These ration free
shoes, which include obsolete
sizes, close outs, and other left
overs, must be sold between July
19 and July 31, inclusive, the OPA
says, but after that date, the
shoes must be returned to the
regular stock and sold for ration
currency.
Retailers whose sales were prin
cipally by mail order, and whole
salers and manufacturers must
apply to the State Office of
Price Administration for such
forms in order to be eligible un
der the new rule. But merchants
who from February 7 to April 10
sold more than 50 per cent of
their shoes in rationed footwear
are eligible without any special
permits.
