Executive Order No. 8533 of September 6, 1940, is amended accordingly

I direct that the appropriate agencies of the Federal Government likewise assist in arousing the public to the awareness of the dread threat of fires.

The suspensions of limitations upon punishments for violations of Articles of War 58, 59, 61 and 86, provided by Executive Order No. 9048 of February 3, 1942, and Executive Order No. 9267 of November 9, 1942, are hereby terminated as to…
