Adequate shoe supplies reassure public on ration stamps
The state OPA reports shoe stamps are being honored and no cancellation is planned. Stores will post notices that current shoe supplies suffice, though some next stamps may be delayed until summer due to military demand. Consumers may request extra stamps on hardship grounds if needed. Washington dispatch notes in other items that an FCC WMCA case found no basic wrongs.
