We Are Over the Hump. “We are alert, however,” he said. “to the tremendous load which will be placed on the rails next fall. The peak of industrial production and the military movements then are go- ing to create a terrific burden.” | In production, he said, the prob- lems were raw materials and ma- | chine tools, and although the output of military supplies has been very good, “T don’t want to create the im- pression that we have solved this problem; we haven't.” A similar word of caution came from Donald M. Nelson, chairman of the War Production rd, who told the House Banking Commuwe! that the production war “has just started.” Appearing in support of legislation designed to bring small industry farther into the production field for war, Mr, Nelson said that while “we are over the hump,” the use of every available industrial enterprise is needed to overcome the nineryear | 1 = | | | KEEPS EYE ON PRICES — Merle Fainsod, former Har- vard professor, who has been named chief of the Retail Trade and Services Section, Office of Price Administration, to undertake the administra- tion of the general price ceil- ings invoked by Price Admin- istrator Leon Henderson.

The same bill contained a zecond chapter under which the man’s family could then apply to the Federal Secyrity Agency for such additional allotment as might be deemed necessary on a subsist- ence basis, but not on the basis of accustomed standard of living.

The Office of Civilian Defense issued today regulations govern- ing the functions of civilians en- | gaged in war services and the use | of official insignia and giving of- | ficial status to the Civil Air Pa- trol and the Citizens’ Defense Corps. The orders, issued by Director James H. Landis, also provided for organization of a new United States citizens’ service corps and for rec- ognition of certain classes of persons not enrolled in war services such as doctors, nurses, newspaper reporters and photographers and clergymen. The orders accomplish the fol- lowing : 7 1. Give official status to the Citi- zens’ Defense Corps for the first time, prescribe standards of eligi- bility and training for membership and provide that no person who is not a member may wear the official insignia or receive or use Federal protective equipment to be issued by the O. C. D. 2. Create a new United States Cit- izens’ Service Corps for official rec- ognition of volunteers who have completed 50 hours of work in such activities as conservation, war bond sales, salvage, education, health, consumers services, etc., or for those who have completed certain pre- scribed courses in volunteer war ac- | tivities other than the protective services. 3. Make official provisions for spe- cial insignia which will permit doc- tors, nurses, newspaper reporters and photographers, clergymen, un- dertakers and others to carry on essential services or duties during a blackout or air raid. | isaster * Burma Disaste ¥ Rapid Thrusts Piercing Last Effective Supply Route to Chungking (Earlier Story on Page A-1) By the Associated Press. CHUNGKING, April 29.-—Ad- vance Japanese troops have broken into the suburbs of | Lashio, railhead of the Burma Road to China, a Chinese com~ | munique disclosed tonight. (This disastrous development indicated that barring some mir- acle of defense the Mandalay- Lashio Railroad soon would be cut and China isolated from all presently effective communica- tion with the Allies. With the Japanese in possession of the railroad not only would they close it and the Burma road, but would outflank the defense forces to the west and complete the squeeze of Mandalay from east and west.) “Japanese forces are making s rapid advance northward around the Chinese eastern flank and are trying to capture Hsipaw, thereby cutting the railway between Lashio and Mandalay,” the communique said. Hsipaw is a station between Man« dalay and Lashio, 110 miles southe west of Lashio. Reaching the suburbs of the lat- ter place the Japanese had made a swift marth of approximately 50 miles from their last reported posi- tions around Mansam. “Yesterday morning they reached" the suburbs of New Lashio, also the town of Nanmang, southeast of Hsipaw,” the communique said. “While details are lacking, it is obvious that the Japanese occupa« tion of Hsipaw will have serious con« sequences. “On the other hand, the gravity of the Burma situation by no means weakens the Chinese determina to continue resistance in Burma.” (While available maps do show a New Lashio, it is bel to be one of the suburbs of the railway terminus which has de- veloped rapidly because of traf- fic to China. Nanmang also is not shown on available maps.) {London Scouts Rumor |Of King-1l Duce Rift By the Associated Press.
