...last have a complete record of how much of what there is and where it is going. So, three weeks ago, Jim Knowlson announced that, by June 30, Purp would take over the whole field-including the strategic Prated industries (aircraft, tanks, etc.), which up to now have had blanket- ratings, for the most part with no limit upon the time or quantity they were good for. Thereafter nobody, no matter how strategic, will get any priorities help except for a specific amount of material for a specific purpose for a specific length of time...

...dash at the Harvard-Army-Princeton meet, the finish was so close, with all four men crossing the finish line so near together, that it was almost a blanket finish. Bill Trainor was awarded a second, and Kearie Barry won the event. In the mile, which was won by Don Jordan of Princeton, in the good time of 4:26.7, captain Bob Houghton closed up a gap of 15 to 20 yards in the last lap, to come within inches of nipping Jordan at the tape...
