Escape Is possible the CIO and the American Federa Funeral services will be held at Calvary Baptist church, Sans Soucl, WHY SHOES RATIONED WASHINGTON. Fe'l. is why the government decided to ration shoes: There ls a critical shortage of heavy sole leather, chiefly because the armed forces and the lend-lease program are now taking more than a third of the nation's total leather supply.

And shipping difficulties limit Imports of hides. Enemy submarines are a steady peril to such shipments as are attempted, but they are relatively few because shipping space is devoted largely to war materials. Economic Stabilization Director Jarrles F. Byrnes said the war production board estimates the United States has only enough sole leather and reclaimed rubber for pairs of civilian footwear this year, including unrationed slippers and Infants' soft-soled shoes. This compares with 440,000,000 pairs last year.

"People did not need all these shoes but bought them because they had money to spend," he said. "For 1943 likely demand was calculated at more than 100,000,000 pairs In excess of production, "With demand so greatly In excess of production, rationing had to come. It was a question only, Siould It be done sooner or later? othlns could gained by delaying rationing. But much could be lost."
