Secretary Harold L. Ickes warned the senate war investigating committee that next winter could be the coldest of the war unless more coal miners are released from military service to boost production. He urged sending 6,000,000 tons of bituminous coal to Europe and warned of severe industry curtailment if shortages persist. A separate forecast says four day weeks may come for American industry unless coal supplies improve as railroads and other sectors require more workers. A Iowa State College entomologist reported 100 percent infestation in some corn fields, based on recent surveys.
