MORE HOME-FRONT
TIGHTENING LOOMS
WASHINGTON Dec. 30. —(g>)—
Further home-front belt tightening
was decreed today, topped -by the
news that civilians no longer will
get two pairs of shoes a year, and
will get less poultry.
At the same time, a broad hint
was dropped that still more is to
come.
The Office of War Mobilization
and Reconversion announced that
Director James F. Byrnes in his
first official rppnrt next week will
make suggestions for consideration
of congress U “assure all-out mo
bilization during 1945, or as long
as demands from the front require
such mobilization.” The report
er.mes Monday night.
The statement from Byrnes’ of
fice came on top of these actions:
By the Office cf Price Adminis
tration—an announcement that no
new shoe coupon probably will be
validated “until some time next
summer,” sharply reducing the
present two-pair,s-a-year schedule.
B' the War Production Board—
an order for a halt, effective Sun
day, in the manufacture of civilian
ammunition. Manufacturers’
stocks were frozen pending issu
ance of distribution orders expect
ed to cut off hunters’ supplies.
By WPB—Restrictions on recap
ping use of grade A camelback
which will deny it to motorists.
They will have to use grade C.
which includes some reclaimed
rubber. The grade A goes to truck
tires of 7.50 inches and up.
By Byrnes himself—Flat refusal
to modify his reguest that racing
end Jan 3.
By the War Manpower Commis
sion—An announcement that race
r ack employment will be limited
to enough "orkers to keep the
plants from “falling apart” and !

those must o« handicapped or el
derly persons not subject to man
power controls.
The War Food Administration
announced it will soon extend a
“set-aside order’’ on poultry to
the principal producing counties
of Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri
and Oklahoma. This means that
practically all chickens from those
areas must be reserved for the
armed forces with consequent fur
ther restriction of civilian supplies.

Decrease Is Reported
In State's Pig Crop
RALEIGH, Dtc. 30. — (JP) — The
combined 1944 spring and fall pig
crops in North Carolina were es
timated at 1,478,000 head by the
State Department of Agriculture,
which said the total was 22 per
cent less than the record crop' of
1,902,000 pigs produced last year.
The department said the fall
crop this year probably would to
tal 624,000 head, or 33 per cent
less than the 932,000 saved in the
sows were farrowed during the
fall of 1943. An estimated 99,000
fall months, the department said,
or 12,000 short of intentions of
breeders in June.
Failure to breed as many sows
as was intended in mid-summer
was attributed by the department
to the fact that a drought which
existed in June 1 continued until
mid-July, thus presenting a darker
feed outlook and resulted in cur
tailed breedings.
SEEKS DIVORCE

—Harry Bridges, west coast labor
leader, filed suit for divorce today
Erom Agnes Bridges on general
charges of cruelty. The brief com
plaint stated the couple was mar
