Eyesight Specialist INVISIBLE !|FOCAL By J. A. O'LEARY. Prompt Senate passage of the new war powers bill early this week, to strengthen the Government's war effort in many directions, appeared likely last night, with debate sched- ule to start tormorrow. Reported favorably from the Ju- diciary Committee by Senator O'Ma- honey, Democrat, of Wyoming, the measure makes 14 separate changes in various laws, most important of which put more teeth in the en- forcement of priorities and broaden | the Government’s power to take over the machinec in a factory when such | action is deemed vital to the defense program. There were no indications in Sen- ate circles yesterday of any major controversies developing over the bill. After the Senate acts, it will g0 to the House, where it still awaits consideration. Biddle Calls for Penalties. Attorney General Biddle told the committee there is real need for | penal provisions for violation of | priority orders, rather than a reli- | ance on administrative sanctions | against those who fail to comply. | 'The bill gives the Interstate Com- | merce Commission power to co- ordinate motor carrier lines in the nterest of the war effort, as it already does on the railroads. quire joint use of all motor carrier equipment, and priority shipment of defense materials. It would not per- | mit the Federal Government to set | aside State laws governing the size | or weight of motor carriers. Another section extends to the | Navy Department the same au- thority already possessed by the | Army to acquire property needed | for defense purposes by taking im- ‘medm.e possession, without waiting for approval of title by the De- | partment of Justice. The Federal Reserve Banks would be given power to buy Government bonds directly, without purchasing hem in the open market, if this | course should be found advisable later in war financing. Book Inspection Right. An important provision added to | the bill in committee gives the Gov- | ernment the right to inspect the | | plants and books of any company | holding war contracts, a power which is now limited to producers of airplanes and airplane parts. | “By carefully examining the con- tractor’s costs on articles he is pro- ducing, it will be possible to make contracts for further articles from the same or other contractors on the best possible terms for the Gov- | ernment,” said the committee in its report. | The committee also moved to con- | nounced yesterday that it would | serve nickel and copper by changing the metallic content of the 5-cent | piece, which now consists of three- ‘ fourths copper and one-fourth nickel. In the future it would be | made of one-half copper and, one- | half silver. Finding many citizens anxious to | | e Lo AT, 3l Bhack. Persian. male. viciity 5 doln 4697.

NEW YORK.—DEADLY AERIAL GROUND STRAFER—It looks complicated, but even a novice gunner can be trained to operate this multi-barrelled aerial ground-strafing gun in a short time, according to the experts. The gun is electrically operated, won’t jam and will fire 15 shots— flares, solid shot, gas shells or shrapnel—with a single push of a button, with a full charge It is sald that a single high-flying plane with only one of these guns could prac- tically wipe out an entire squadron below and that it offers a more perfect “flare” system than —Wide World Photo. merzial vegetable, fruit and sugar cane producing areas this year by operating 18 mobile camps equipped to shelter 2,700 migratory farm la- borer families. | The camps will be moved from one crop area to another as the growing season advances, thus en- abling farm workers to shift from sections where they are not needed | to those where expansion of war industries threatens to cause a lack of hands at peak seasons. Areas to be serviced by the camps | include the sugar cane and truck crop producing parts of Florida, the vegetable-producing areas of North Carolina and Virginia and the fruit and vegetable areas of Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut and Upper New York. The department said the 18 new | camps would increase to 101 the | number of stationary and mobile migrant labor stations operated or under construction in various parts of the country. These camps have facilities for 75,000 families in & 12- | month period. Shelter in the mobile camps will | consist of army-type tents with | sidewalls or platforms. Each of the camps will be staffed by Farm Se- | curity Administration personnel. | ‘The Uuned States expects to ship | 500,000,000 dozen eggs to Britain | this year. | make gifts of money or property to the Treasury to accept such condi- tiomml gifts. At present the Treas- ury may accept only unconditional gifts. Other Provisions. Among other provisions of the bill | are the following: ! To simplify the procedure by which aliens serving with the armed forces may become citizens; to give members of the armed forces the privilege of free postage while on duty in a foreign country; to make air raid wardens or other civilian defense workers eligible for bene- fits under the United States Em- | ployes Compensation Act if they are injured in line of duty; to amend the Hatch Act to enable persons | who are active in poltical organiza- | tions throughout the country to per- | form part-time defense service for | the Government as volunteers. Attention, Girls! You'll Be Able To Get Girdles By the Associated Press. Girls, vou'll be able to get girdles | after all. The War Production Board an- act within a few davs to make a| “limited amount” of crude rubber | available for the manufacture of girdles, corsets and other founda- tion garments. i 'Willard Helburn, chief of the| amount to be distributed had not | been determined, but that manu-| {alturers of foundation garments had assured W.

Those plans, he added, have been developed on the | basis of extensive information sup- plied by United States observers in | war zones abroad. Shelter Design Developed. The O. C. D. has developed a de- | sign for a reinforced concrete shelter to hold 24 persons, but even tions are that the project will never get beyond the design stage. Ofi- cials pointed out that the amount of steel necessary to build enough of these shelters to protect citizens inhabiting all United States coastal areas would run into “fabulous amounts.” | At the W. P. B.-O. C. D. con- ployes substitutes wherever they could be provided to fill O. C. D. requirements for fire hose, surgical instruments and dressings, stretch- ers, protective helmets, boots made from reclaimed rubber and protec- tive clothing for air-raid wardens, and other civilian defense officials. The conferees decided to limit the supply of black paint, board or textile coverings for window black- outs to plants working on war or- | i ders. They refused to recommend provision of such materials for other | private buildings or homes on the | ground that both paint and textiles | are more urgently needed fof war| % purposes.

Conservation of Paper Every citizen is called upon to see that not a pound of paper is wasted. Demand from every clerk that any unnecessary wrapping of packages or un- necessary use of paper bags be dispensed with., Waste paper for paperboard is vital to the packaging of a preat quantity of ‘war equip- ment.
