Delayed Wrath

Last week, the War Production Board got sizzling mad at Marshall Field's New-Dealing Chicago Sun, which campaigned hotly for the fourth term. Grated WPB: "During the second quarter of 1944, the Chicago Sun used or caused to be used 886.89 tons of print paper in excess of the quota. . . . The violations were willful. This excessive use of paper . . . has hampered and impeded the war effort of the United States of America."

Most citizens were less interested in the violation than in the timing of the WPB blast. The violation occurred during April, May and June. But WPB managed to contain its wrath until Nov. 10--three days after the election.

Said the Sun of its violation: "Purely technical."

Said WPB of its timing: "Purely coincidental."
