7PAGE SX H-MtI N DAL FRIDAY, OCT. 2.3, 1942' Brown To Ask Mid -West Ban On Gas Ration Senator's Study Reveals Voluntary Curtailment Is Almost As Effective GRAND RAPIDS, Oct. 22.-(P)- U.S. Senator Prentiss M. Brown (Dem.-Mich.), declaring -that gaso- line consumptionin a Middle West area already had been reduced to within three per cent of that in Eastern states, said today he would ask Price Administrator Leon Hen- derson to exempt the Middle West from gasoline rationing. Nation-wide rationing has been scheduled for Nov. 22. Brown did not specify, except Michigan, the states he thought should be excluded from rationing orders. However, he referred to a study which he said "shows that voluntary curtailment of the use of automo- biles in District 2 had accomplished the same results as gasoline ration- ing." District 2 of the Petroleum Co- ordinator's Office includes Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Tennessee, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and Ohio. In a prepared statement Brown, who is a candidate for reelection in November's election, said that "I have made a study to determine if the vol- untary curtailment in driving, to- gether with the 35-mile speed limit, would meet the requirements of the Baruch Committee," on whose rec- ommendations the rationing plan is based. "My investigation," Brown stated, "includes the results of a study made from reliable and authoritative sources, entered into to determine the facts of a national gasoline rationing in the Midwest, which includes Mich- igan." He said a number of spot checks at Midwestern and other points ex- cluding the East Coast, revealed that "gasoline consumption has already been reduced to levels comparable with current consumption under ra- tioning on the East Coast, which ap- parently satisfied the requirements of the Baruch Committee."

Rushton Asks For Retraction LANSING, Oct. 22.-OP)--Attorney General Herbert J. Rushton demand- ed in an open letter today a retrac- tion of charges expressed in a cam- paign speech by Governor Van Wag- oner that Rushton had proposed "vi- ciously anti-labor" legislation to the legislature. "If that statement was made by you," Rushton's letter said, "I de- mand immediate public retraction' of the same as no one knows better than you that the quoted statement concerning me is utterly and com- pletely false." The text of the Governor's speech at a political rally at Muskegon on Wednesday night carried the state- ment: "my public threat of vetoes killed some viciously anti-labor meas- ures sought last year by the Repub- lican attorney general and reaction- ary legislators." Salvage Drive Halts Business In Rural Area' HOWELL, Oct. 22.- ()- This small Livingston county community and six surrounding townships went all-out for th' war today. All stores and schools were closed while business men and the older school boys manned 50 trucks trans- porting scrap iron from farms in the vicinity which had been canvassed during the preceding week by repre- sentatives of civic and business groups. At nightfall, the scrap hoard filled a street alongside the county house to a height of 10 feet for more than a block and was still growing. Officials said more than 500 tons of metal ap- peared to be in the pile and that crews of men would be sent out for the remainder of the week to gather scrap collected at rural points. The children of one country schdol brought in six tons of metal, it was said. New Rule Hits Labor .Piracy WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-(IP)-The War Labor Board set un another bar to labor "piracy" today in a general order prohibiting an empoyer from hiring workers at rates higher than those previously established in his plant for workers of similar skill and productive ability. The board ruled that to hire a worker at such a higher rate would amount to a wage increase within the meaning of the President's Executive order and would, therefore, require approval of the board. The order does not necessarily pre- vent an employee who has been paid, for instance, $1 an hour from taking a similar Job in another plant for $1.10 an hour, provided that $1.10 rate had already been established. ull711 II An officer aboard a British destroyer in a convoy takes a sight with the sextant while the signalman keeps watch over the escorted ships through a telescope. Blue Nose Kept Out, Eh? Sena te Sidetracks Dry Amendment To Draft Corner Junk Pile Just Bides Its Time The enthusiastic spirit of Amer- ican youth has practically given our grinning enemy another 'kick in the pants. On the corner of Church St. and South University is a huge pile of scrap, everything from coffee pots to mattress springs. And it's been put there by University High School students who have been scouring Ann Arbor for two weeks. Under the direction of a war board made up of students and high school faculty members, an all-out school assembly was held and 75 per cent of the students re- sponded by volunteering to canvass the town. Ransacking their own homes first and eventually getting to the next-door neighbor's house, they've put the pile where it is and are still out looking.

SMARTEST HOSIERY SHOPPE Mchigan Theatre Bldg. (J! t By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.- A dry amendment to the youth-draft bill was sidetracked by the Senate, 49 to 25, today after a hot debate in which supporters called it a necessary safe- guard for soldiers and sailors and op- ponents denounced it as "the enter- ing wedge of the long blue nose of prohibition." Offered by Senator Lee (D-Okla.), the amendment would ban sales, gifts or use of all alcoholic drink from Army and Navy reservations and ad- jacent areas. At the earnest suggestion of Sena- tor Barkley (D-Ky.), majority leader, the Senate decided to send the amendment to its military committee with instruction to hold hearings and a report a soon as practicable. This meant, it was apparent, a de- lay in Senate consideration until af- ter the Nov. 3 elections and Senator Norris (Ind-Neb.) told his colleagues it spelled the death of the Lee pro- posal, which he supported. The Senate, decision opened the way for an early vote' on the draft bill, making youths 18 and 19 years old available for military service. However, this vote was put off at All unsold books at the Student Book Exchange must be picked up from 3-5 p. m. today in Room 302 of the Michigan Union. This is the last day to get books, before the Exchange closes until next semes- ter. least until tomorrow when the Senate recessed late in the day. Extra policemen guarded the Sen- ate wing of the capitol as the dry issue was threshed out. Police author- ities described the guards as "purely a precautionary measure" because of the overflow crowds in galleries and corridors. Barkley told his colleagues that Congress ought to have additional time to study the question. Adoption of Lee's' amendment now, he said, would be bound to delay final action on the draft legislation until some time in November. He said Speaker Rayburn of the House had informed him it would be impossible to raise a House quorum until next month be- cause so many members had gone home.
