STATE SOIL CONSERVATION
COMMITTEE,
By D. W. Watkins, Chairman.
Dated: June 25, 1945.
By Public Demand.
The recent extension of OPA
for another year was in response
to public demand for continued
protection against inflationary
dangers, District Director E. H.
Talbert stated in Columbia to
day.
“Again we have been given a
great responsibility,’’, he said, “and
one which is growing greater with
each passing day.
“But now, as always, we know
the people themselves are solidly
behind us. With their help we’ll

Over-Use Threatens Gas Rations.
Part of the recent gas increases
given A and B motorists may have
to be recalled because of a daily
over-consumption of 3,318,000 gal
lons of gasoline, E. H. Talbert,
OPA District Director in Colum
bia, said today.
“This over-consumption, a-
mounting to 100,000,000 gallons a
month—enough for one and a
half billion miles of driving — is
a serious drain on our still-tight
gasoline supplies. Our reserves
can’t stand such tremendous pres
sure much longer, and if the ov
er-use isn’t stopped by the motor
ists themselves, we undoubtedly
face a reduction in rations,” he
predicted. -
Much of the over-consumption
results, Mr. Talbert said, from ap
plications by drivers for more gas
than is actually needeed for es
sential driving. The local boards,
in many cases unable to know the
true needs of the applicant, have
issued more liberal rations than
the drivers’ essential needs re
quired.
“Many drivers have convinced
themselves that gasoline is no
longer critical,” Mr. Talbert com
mented. ‘The truth is, we’re using
more petroleum in our war against
Japan now than we used against
both the Japs and Nazis a few
months ago.
“The fact that most gasoline
storage facilities are* filled to ca
pacity has also given rise to a
belief that gas is plentiful,” he
continued. “When we were fight
ing Germany, millions of gasoline
could be stored in England, for
shipment across the Channel as
needed. In our war with Japan
we have no such convenient ad
vance storage tanks. We must
store our gasoline here in this
country, available for shipment by
tanker direct to our island bases
in. the Pacific as needed.
“Every motorist, applying for
supplemental gasoline should re
view his needs thoroughly . . . and
not ask for a single gallon be
yond his legitimate, essential need.
To ask for more is to endanger
the generous amount already be
ing allocated for civilian drivers,
Mr. Talbert said.

Slaughter Increases.
Permission to slaughter 10 per
cent more cattle, sheep and lambs
during accounting periods begin
ning on or after July 1 was grant
ed non-federally inspected com
mercial sluaghterers to attain a
better balance in meat distribu
tion, OPA District Director E. H.
Talbert explained today in Colum
bia.
This increase brings Class 2
slaughterers’ maximum percent
ages up from 75 per cent to 85
per cent for cattle, with sheep and
lambs raised from the former 100
per cent to 110 per cent. Slaugh
ter percentages for calves and hogs
are unchanged, Mr. Talbert said,
remaining at 75 per cent and 50
per cent respectively.
Mr. Talbert also gave the reason
for OPA’s recent extension of the
June 30 deadline for registration
of farm slaughterers.
Many farmers slaughter only in
the late Fall, he said, and conse
quently were unprepared to make
early application. The new dead
line, Mr. Talbert pointed out, is
October 14, and all farmers who
intend to slaughter meat animals
for sale, or have meat slaughtered
for them for sale, must apply for
Class 3 permits by that date.
V-E Day is past. We’re now
headed for V-J Day. We need more pulp-
wood production in order to carry the war
to Japan. Pulpwood wdl help win com
plete Victory, and that is why it is on tl.D
Production Urgency List of the armed
forces, War Production Board and War
Manpower Commission.
“The 1945 goal set by War Production
Board is higher than for 1944, yet pulp-
wood production so far has been running
short of what we must get to the mills.
“The current critical need for pulpwood
production is due to the greater number of
packages and containers needed on the
long ocean haul of military supplies to Pa
cific war theaters. Extra protection must
be given war materiel against insects, fun
gus and the hot, humid climate of battle
areas by the use of waterproof packaging
made of pulpwood.
“Here are the hard facts: ‘‘Pulpwood
which should have been produced las':
winter and spring must be cut this summsr
and fall. Cutting pulpwood is necessary
to cut short the war.”

The last bomber came off the
ine just one year to the day from
the date of the 5,000th Liberator
rolled out, and only two years and
ten months after the first Ford
bomber, which was produced Sep
tember 10, 1942.
Production at Willow Run has
been on a four-a-day basis since
the final cutback was announced
a month ago. At its peak, the
Ford plant was building approxi-

trict, announced today. Recruit
ment will be through the U. S.
Civil Service which already has
instituted a concentrated drive to
conceal the nature of operations.
There are even instances in which
scarce foods intended for the
armed forces have been diverted
into black market channels.
If an adequate force of investi
gators can be recruited, Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau indi
cated, it is expected that at least
$1,000,000,000 in taxes now being
evaded will be collected. It is fur
ther estimated that every dollar
spent on collection of illegally
wihheld taxes will provide at least
twenty dollars in revenue.
To qualify as special agents, ap- i
plicants must have a minimum of
two years experience in account- 1
ing, auditing or investigations,,
