PUSS THROW TIMPSON
Several months ago Com-
pany D, 144th inf., left Timp-
son for Camp Bowie when the
Texas National Guard was
called into training as a part
of the National defense pro-
gram. Sunday the company
came back to the old home
town, but the boys did not
hare time to stop as they were
moving with the second
column of the 36th division to
the war maneuver area of East
Texas and Louisiana.
A royal welcome greeted
the troops as they passed
through the city, and as the
unit composed of the Timp-
son company rolled into the
business (section, escorted by
a group of military police, the
speed of the trucks was slow-
ed down somewhat. A noisy
welcome of applause and baud
music greeted the boys as they
passed along. Hundreds of
people gathered in the city and
the town was crowded with
spectators from early morning
until late 'in the afternoon
watching the troops in a cara-
van of 1350 vehicles pass.
A number of Timpson peo-
ple went to a point a few miles
west of Mt. Enterprise where
the Timpson company stopped
at 12:10 for lunch. A forty-
minute visit was enjoyed with
the company.
ILS. PUNNING TO FEED
EUROPE JETER WHO
Washington, Aug. 10. (UP)
—The United States is draw-
ing up plans for the greatest
relief expedition of history—
to feed and restore to health
the undernourished hordes of
Europe—after the war is over,
it was learned Saturday.
Flans include establishment
of a huge store of foods and
other relief articles to meet
immediate problems and a
longer-range plan to assure
freedom of trade and an am-
ple supply of raw materials
for all nations.
The long-range plan is to
be based on international
trade agreements and, pos-
sibly, creation of a huge inter-
national bank to finance inter-
national transactions. A “test
tube bank now is being form-
ed as the Inter-American Bank
for the Western Hemisphere
republics.
A hint of the post-war plan
was given by Assistant Secre-
tary of State Adolph A. Eerie,
Jr., at a reception by the exiled
Grand Duchess Charlotte of
Luxembourg Friday night at
the Luxembourg legation.
“It is the plan of this gov-
ernment, when the first tide of
barbarity shall be rolled
back,” he said, “to turn the
full measure of its economic
strength to bringing help, re-
lief and sustenance to the tens
of millions of families in many

Washington, Aug. 12. (UP)
—President Roosevelt’s na-
tional resources planning
board tonight outlined a far-
reaching program to prevent
economic chaos after the war
and appealed to public and
private agencies to start work

In a study entitled "After
Defense—What?” the board
said that if the economic equil-
ibrium is to be maintained the
nation must begin now to find
a solution to the problem of
transferring millions of men
from "all-out production for
defense to all-out production
for norma] living when the
war is over.”

Seeks to Turn Industry Toward
Anns Production.
Washington, Aug. 11. (UP)
—President Roosevelt, in a
move to cheek inflationary
trends in the defense boom,
Monday night ordered the
Federal Reserve Board to put
the brakes on installment buy-
ing—currently a seven billion
dollars-a-year business.
An executive order, signed
by Mr. Roosevelt Saturday
during his vacation cruise,
gave the reserve board virtual-
ly complete control over all
consumer eredit. The board’s
power will become effective aa
soon as the White House is-
sues a regulatory order, prob-
ably a month hence.
Installment buying contracts
entered into prior to issuance
of such an order will not be
affected.
Federal Reserve Board
Chairman Marriner S. Eccles
said an initial regulation will
be issued as promptly as pos-
sible following consultation
with representatives of the
trade and financial institutions
affected.
The order also is designed
as a check on “unwarranted
’price advances and profiteer-
' mg” and a boom-generated
demand for goods whose pro-
duction requires materials,
.skills :nd equipment needed
for national defense.
