OPA Issues Rules For Food Sign-Up
Washington—(INS)—The OPA yesterday issued rules setting forth the "who, when, where and how" of War Ration Book Two which will be used for rationing of canned goods and meats.
Sales of canned goods will be frozen from midnight Saturday until rationing starts March 1. The dates for meat rationing have not yet been set.
Must Have Ration Book One
Book Two will be issued as follows:
1. Any person who has Book One and who has properly filled out and signed a "consumer declaration" is eligible for a copy of the Book Two. One declaration may be used for an entire family unit.
One Adult May Sign For Family
2. Application is to be made next week, only by those who have Book One.
3. Registration places will be announced in each community by local boards.
One adult may apply for all members of a family by presenting their copies of Book One which covers coffee, sugar and shoes. After registration closes Feb.28, the local boards may refuse to permit applications until March 15. A person who does not have Book One may apply at his own local board.
Copies of the "consumer declaration" were sent out to the nation's newspapers today for publication. On the printed newspaper copies there must be declared the excess amounts of canned goods on hand as of Feb. 21 and the number of extra pounds of coffee held as of last Nov. 28 when coffee rationing started.
Five Cans Per Person
One form can be used for the entire family if it contains the names of all the persons for whom the declaration is made. In the case of canned goods, the housewife may set aside five cans for each person not including cans, bottles and jars containing less than eight ounces or home canned fruits and vegetables. The declaration covers the remainder of the supply of commercial canned fruits (including spiced); canned vegetables; canned fruit and vegetable juice; canned soups, chili sauce and catupu.
The net figure on coffee to be declared is the number of pounds on hand on Feb. 28 in excess of one pound for each person 14 years of age or over. A ration stamp will be removed from Book One for each excess pound of coffee, if there are not enough stamps to cover excess pounds. stamps will be removed from the next coffee book when issued.
For excess canned goods one 8-point blue stamp will be removed from Book Two for each item.

Wilson Heads WPB Agency Under Nelson
Washington (INS)—Engineering a clean break with the military critics of his regime, WPB chairman Donald M. Nelson, emerged yesterday with unified civilian control over all phases of the nation's war production program.
In a move which drew a stiff protest from the armed forces, but won immediate Congressional endorsement, Nelson welded his once-divided agency into a single production unit operating under the direction of Charles E. Wilson, former president of General Electric.
WPB's new "Chief of Staff" not only will schedule and direct the output of planes, ships, tanks, and guns, but also will control the flow of critical materials into production channels. He will rule all WPB industry divisions and branches.
Production scheduling and control of materials had been two separate functions. Nelson's forthright action abolished the "double-harness" effect and resulted in the summary ouster of Ferdinand Eberstadt, New York investment banker, who once exercised sole responsibility for slicing the materials pie.
Several additional resignations may follow from the group of a dozen or so men brought into WPB by Eberstadt. One already has materialized—that of Fred Searls, chief of the facilities bureau.
On the surface the shakeup appeared to be nothing more than an operational change. In official circles, however, it assumed added significance as ending the long and bitter conflict between WPB and the military services for control of arms production.
Elmer S. Riggs, University graduate of 1896, discussed "A Paleontological Expedition in Southern Argentina" before the Snow Zoology club last night. Mr. Riggs showed colored slides and told of personal experiences.

Madame Chiang Calls For Jap Decimation
While Mr. Riggs was attending the University, he was a member of the first field expedition sent out from the geology department. This expedition was in the summer of 1894.
Washington. — (INS) — Japanese military might must be decimated, Madame Chiang Kai-Shek declared today, as she called upon the American democracies to help construct a world in which it would be impossible for "any arrogant or predatory neighbor" to bring about "another orgy of blood."
Mr. Riggs is a retired curator of the Field museum in Chicago. He studied a year at Princeton after leaving here before he took over his work in Chicago.
A dessert party and business meeting followed last night's lecture. New officers elected were president, Doris Larson; vice-president, Irene Tice; secretary, Rosalie Wrightman; and treasure, Paul Benzer.
In an unprecedented appearance before the Senate and the House of Representatives, China's First Lady stressed the importance of constantly pressing the war against Japan in which her gallant warriors have been battling valiantly for five and a half years.
She declared that facts do not support "the prevailing opinion which seems to consider the defeat of the Japanese as of relative unimportance and that Hitler is our first concern."

ALLEN LASHES---
Prof. Simpson Will Play At Organists' Meeting
Fort Des Moines, Iowa (INS) — Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt said yesterday, "If we want to preserve our standard of living we must be willing to share things we have with different people.
(continued from page one) Allen declared, "then they should concentrate upon physical fitness classes in which they will contact hundreds of men in comparison to the few they meet and aid in varsity practices."
If no such call comes, Allen indicated that he will continue with his physical fitness work on the campus, which, he pointed out, has received the enthusiastic approval of officials of the armed forces.
Allen declared his readiness to accept a position in the armed forces of the country as a physical-fitness director "when and if the services see a need for my services."
