Postal Service Taxed Nor are the railroads the only facility being taxed by warthne conditions. postal service, with more than 30,000 employes in the armed forces, is short of trained personnel, nor will it be possible 1or it to add, this year, the 200.000 temporary employes usually put to work during the Christmas rush.

Such additional Christmas season employes as it can hire will be high school youths and older men, none of whom can work with the speed or precision of trained postal people. And, of course, the Railway Express has a similar manpower problem. Finally, early buying and buying over a longer period will be necessary from the viewpoint of Asheville stores. Otherwise, it will not be possible, Mr. Lipinsky pointed out, for them to render either prompt or efficient service.

For they, too, have lost heavily in trained personnel, and they, too, will find difficulty this year in hiring the approximately one-third additional for the Christmas rush. spreading the employes, holiday buying. lights, heat, and power can be conserved. "What the public is asked to help us do," he said, "is to avoid having a Christmas rush this year. It can be eliminated by the simple expedient of starting early." And, he added, by starting early and getting all parcels off before December 10, Asheville people will add to their own Christmas pleasure by having time, when the Yuletide season comes, to enjoy it.

Also at the request of the government. Asheville merchants this year will depart from the custom of years, and use no special Christmas street lighting. Other Christmas seasons, thousands of colored lights have transformed the downtown area at night, but this year they will be absent. The explanation is that electric power must be conserved. along with transportation, manpower, and other vital factors in the war effort.

COAL DELIVERY EMERGENCY RULE RELAXED BY SFA WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. (A') The solid fuels administration today relaxed its emergency regulations to permit soft coal deliveries to consumers who have less than a 30-dav supply. Previously only those with less than a 10-day supply could get deliveries.

However, the ban on delivery of hard coal to consumers having more than a 10-day supply still stands. Under the new bituminous regulation. consumers other than householders may receive sufficient quantities to bring their stocks up to 2 30-day reserve. No restriction is placed on the quantity which may be delivered to householders with less than a 30-day stock. Until this change householders were restricted to a maxtmum of one ton.

Householders are still limited to one ton of anthracite. The revised regulation applies to all soft coal sold at retail except in Washington and Oregon and certain counties of Idaho, where consumer limitation is under the office of price administration. In an exception to the regulation, GRAY HAIR NEWS No More Dyeing? mins as described by national magazine supply harmless anti-gray hair Vitamin substance to your system.

These ECKERD'S 31 Patton Ave. -Continued From Page One WLB Head ment said: "The controversy in the coal fields has greatly injured the nolicv of the war labor board in dealing with strikes, and I believe has greatly damaged the American labor movement. but it has impaired the wage stabilization policy, as all the more thoughtful observers are beginning to point out, and as will become increasingly clear as time goes on. "So far as I am concerned, I have not begun to surrender and do not intend to surrender any part of the wage stabilization program.

As chairman of the war labor board I bound to adhere to and apply that policy, and 9.8 a citizen I br. lieve it is essential to the American worker and I have just begun to fight for it." Davis did not mention directly the negotiations between Secretary of Interior Ickes and John L. Lowis. president of the United Mine Workers, while the miners were on strike last week. He said that although it would be "foolish to say' that the board's policy of not dealing with strikers has not been damaged, that policy will be maintained.

Davis said that a recent letter he adaressed to Vice President Wallace on the subject of wage stabilization had been "widely misunderstood and misapplied." He said the letter pointed out that in the major basic inaustries "the price of labor, which is the hourly wage, has been held substantially censtant since September 15, 1942, while the price ol owner things which the wage and salary earners buy has not been held so constant. "This has been taken to mean that I think that those wage rates should now be increased to match the cost of living increase since September 15, 1942. That erroneous deauction should be corrected. In iny opinion exactly the opposite course should be rollowed. Wage rates have been stabilized substantially as of September 15 and should remain stable.

Those prices which have not been so well stabilized should be firmly held, and, so far as practicable, brought back to the September 15 level, in my opinion. "Any other course would be following A will-of-the-wisp. It would renew the tragic race between wages and prices. That would. I believe, subject the wage earners in the major basic industries to bitter disappointment because prices would continue to rise at least as fast as wages, and probably faster.

"The other element of our SOciety, including particularly the wage and salary earners who are not so favorably situated 9.5 the wage earners in the basic would suffer all the evils of inflation. Living Americans do not know from actual experience what these evils really are. The economic stabilization policy, including wage stabilization, has been developed to protect the country from finding out what these evils really are by sad experience." Davis told newsmen that in his opinion the increase in the cost of living over the increase in wages was "not a very great difference" and added that even if a wage increase was to be allowed in the basic industries "you are not going to catch up because prices will go up too."

"One other gun crew couldn't fire because their shield was in the way. They cut a hole in the shield and fired right through it." The action with "the biggest sub I've ever seen." Hutchins said.

"We attempted to ram again even though we'd been damaged pretty badly when we ran up over him. He turned the tables and tried to ram us, but we fired a salvo of depth charges and stopped him about six feet from our side."

Two Other Craft Lost Loss of the Borie was announced along with that of two other destroyers, the Henley and the Chevalier, both sunk in the South Pacific.

The navy announced that the report on those two vessels brought up to date the list of fighting ships lost in the war against the Japanese. giving the direct lie to fantastic Nipponese claims of destruction wrought among U. S. naval forces in recent weeks. The Henley, tonner skippered by Commander Carlton R.

Adams of Wilmington, N. was announced only as having been sunk in the South Pacific in October. The Chevalier, a bigger ship, was damaged in the light battle off Vella La Vella Oct. 6. and collided with another vessel of her force, breaking in two.

Charles H. Hutchins of Terre Haute, was part of the included submarine force which baby aircraft carrier Card and the destroyers Goff and Barry. Their score was not given detail in the unit citation, but previously the navy had announced that a force including an unidentified baby flattop had made 11 attacks on sub- marines, with two definite sinkings and eight more possibles. The navy's announcement that the Card-Borie-Goff-Barry force's sub sinkings constituted a world record, made it apparent that this group of ships carried out a dozen or more apparently successful attacks. with an absolute minimum of three certain kills, including the Borie's two.

Hutchins told of engine rooms flooded, generators and radio communications going out aboard the Borie. Lighter Fluid Used "We had a small emergency radio aboard, but run out of gasoline to operate generator. nads So, we collected all the lighter fluid aboard ship and got enough fuel to use the generator for a short message." The Borie was located the next morning by planes from the Card. The ship was abandoned and all but 27 members of her crew were picked up by the Goff and the Barry despite the heavy weather. The navy, departing from its usual restraint of language.

described the exploit of the Borie as a "saga" of anti-submarine warfare in a statement accompanying the communique. "It is a tribute to seamanship of the crews of the Goff and Barry that all but 27 of the Borie's crew were said the navy statement telling of the storm. "It was a stormy night with the Atlantic rolling up huge waves, a night that would cause concern to the most modern, water-tight ship, let alone an overage destroyer with her hull bashed in."
