Give Price Control d Chance CONFUSION and mlsunder-, standings probably are friev liable, as the new iprlce coritrol regulations go Into effect. THete will be deliberate fraUds, sly chiseling. But these will be In the minority. The real trouble will arise from honest If careless errors: from Ignorance tin 'the part of both merchants and cus tomers; from suspicion, Intoler ance, hotheadedness. Most of the disputes will 'be started by customers who believe that they afe being charged Ille gal prices. Nine but of 10 of these perhaps 99 out of 100, can be avoided if buyers will make certain of their facts. Actually the price control sys tem Is simple so fdr as the con suming public is concerned. All ypu need to remember is this. Except for certain exempted commodities, the merchant Is for bidden to charge more fdr any ..tinln Hllnn -IS thrift thn V.l iniu niici ""J, J ..... v... highest price lor which he' sold Iho sariie thing dui-Ing March.' " that ought tibt to leave r6onv - for misunderstandings. Blit it will. There are a million and one possibilities. Many merchants keep no rcul records. They price mdrchahdlse us It cbnies In, sell It, and a month later have no good Idea of what fhey charged for It. These men must how go over their stocks, determine for each Hem their highest March price, and mark their goods according ly- . There will be Innumerable In stances In which Items now In stock differ from those sold In March. The merchant nlust try to determine what things he sold in March arc most similar 'to those he has Ih May, and fix pric es accordingly. In so huge a task, It would seem improbable that honest mis takes can be avoided. Moreover, the buyer's memory may prove fickle. Under our-set-up, each merchant has his own price ceiling for every article In stock. The price charged next door has nothing to do with the matter. If we remember buying a cer tain brand of coffee for 27 cents, and the grocer asks us 31, we should be very certain that the lower price was not at some oth er store before we accuse him of violating price control rules. Leon Henderson, who is not given to over-patience with viola tions, has emphasized the enormi ty of the task and the need for patience, understanding and co operation. . This does not mean we should permit chiseling. It means rath er we should make sure we are right before we cause trouble. Let's give both the merchants and the Office of Price Control a fair chance to do as well as they can, with wages and farm pro ducts loft to run wild. ' Presto, Change MANPOWER MOBILIZER Me NUTT says we shall need 10,500,000 more war workers plus 2,000,000 more recruits to the armed forces this year. In Feb ruary, (here were 4,000,000 unem ployed in the United States. J The problem is to get 12,500,000 ior the war out of 4,000,000 avail able, without major overtime and without knocking the spots out of civilian production. Try and do K.

The 'Berlin pro pagandls'ts drc sedklrig to 'throw the blame on Britain saying that if poison gas is used Britain will have committed another crime. If Doison gas Is turned loose on the world intelligent people will be In NO DOUBT as to who start ed it. tt USSIAN dispatches mention 'that tha narmnns hnih hdoh experimenting with gas mines in the Crimea. The experiments arc not des cribed, but presumably Retreating Germans leave behind mines that when exploded spread gas among the pursuing Russians. . There have been warnings for months that when Hitler 'begins to lose he will gdt desperate and will stbp at nothing. He will cer tainly not stop at polsdn gas If he thinks he can gain by Its use. All that will stop him will be the fear that Britain will USE IT MORE EFFECTIVELY against him. Churchill promised that in no uncertain wdrds. pHUftCHILL'S Sunday talk was by long Odds 'the most bptlmistic he has ever mitde. When 'Churchill displays optim ism, it is encouraging. tlILLKIE, addressing a college " graduating class In New York, says: , "As citizens, you fnay be called Upon to give your very lives to protect your country's freedom.

Under consideration is a plan to crack down On the sawmills of the Pacific northwest for a period of 60 or 90 days. Back of the Idea Is the pressing demand for trans portation facilities. Every loco motive and freight car serving the west coast, is required to move immediate essentials, and some of the big-wigs figure that lumber is not a strategic material that must be rushed at the moment. As discussed, the sawmills could continue producing but the lum ber could not be shipped for a period of two or three months. There would be no interference with sales by retail yards, as de liveries by the yards are local and can be handled by truck. If such an order Is Issued it would have the effect of causing many saw mills In the fir and pine regions to shut down, for few mills have the facilities to store production for two or three months; there would be ho room for the piles of lumber, "Your northwest lumber indus- ! try may have to take an awful beating, said an Insider, "and that Is all the tip I will give you.' Railroads to Face Jam. Given a few months to handle tanks, steel, food and supplies of many vlatl sorts, it is hoped that enough traffic can be cleared to permit movement of lumber. This Is only a hope, for the pressure upon the railroads is such that later this year they will be in a terrific Jam, with war materials shipped to the coast for transpor tation to American troops in the far Pacific. It would appear that the cars bringing freight to the west could be used for carrying lumber on the eastbound trip, but evidently this Is not the plan. If the restriction upon sawmills Is to be Imposed the industry will soon be advised. The tip may be all wet and the mills may not be disturbed, but In the national capi tal In the past six months tips have circulated, have been denied, and then all of a sudden out pops an order confirming the original hint. This was the case with au tomobiles, rubber, open credit ac counts, rationing and a score of Other incidents, each in turn de nted emphatically yet all proved to be correct. May Curb Wanderlust. With no tires or automobiles (the government can confiscate any car needed and pay the own er) travelers must resort to the trains this year and next, or as long as the war lasts, possibly lour or five years. Among other plans to meet changes In the American way of living attention Is being given to restriction of railroad transportation. There is talk of eliminating the diners, the club cars and, on certain lines, the Pullman sleepers, which would tend to discourage train travel by those who demand the best when on the road. Should it become necessary to impose curbs on wan derlust means may be found to confine travel to those who must make a journey, making such applicants present proof that the trip is essential. This is the sys tem now in vogue in Germany. The program has been partly worked out and will be pigeon holed until needed if ever. Snags In Housing Code. Federal housing is running up against building codes which cramp the style of builders. Most ly they find that the codes de mand more hardware than is necessary; extra thick iron pipe, copper, plumbing which is more elaborate than is now considered required, windows, sliding doors and a multitude of other regula tions. Three representatives of NOVJ TRY WW' wmsr DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS Some Pertinent Questions Is the War really on? Our sugar rations, our gas rations, restrictions In a dozen ways, says yes; but beef" flows like a river through the country, profits steadily mount; human efficiency is undermined and these seem to say there is no war on. There is a call to deny oneself in almost everything to help the war effort, but none for denial in alcoholic bever ages. These latter consume tens of thousands of tons of grain, thousands of pounds of sugar, moral strength, physical fitness, but beer tops must be kept open. Whiskey must have an uninterrupted passage from distillery to glass. Men must be allowed full booze liberties, even though these may frus trate war efforts. Are ve crazy? What Is peculiarly sac rosarit about alcohol? Should It be given right of way. Why should there have been six hundred thousand bottles of li quor to be destroyed at Hong Kong, when at the same time the defenders had only two hundred and thirty-three ma chine guns? Why should the politicians argue that it is Im possible to get along without li quor and beer profits when they know that these beverages have forced up the cost of ad ministration, courts, jails, hos pitals, etc. Why should we In these terrible days destroy un counted tons of food in the making of alcoholic bever ages. Amen. the governor of Washington and two of the Oregon governor list ened and took home with them pages of a model code which has been prepared to meet the current situation. The first of this month there were 300,000 government financed houses on the latest pro gram 90,000 complete, 75,000 under construction and 135,000 in the pre-construction satge. Be fore the end of the year it is said that 85,000 more dwellings will be necessary, plus 100,000 dormi tories and accommodations for 75,000 two-person families.

ACUY 4 CO., Counterfeiters Of War Savings Stamps Captured NEW YORK, May 13. (API Secret service agents announced yesterday the arrest of 10 men and the seizure of plates and 210. 000 unperforated stamps in what was described as the first roundup of alleged war savings stamps counterfeiters In the nation. The stamps were of the 25-cent denomination and would have had a true value of $52,500, the agents said. James. J. Maloney, supervising agent of the New York division of the secret service, said a spe cial detail of agents in coopera tion with postai inspectors had trailed the gang since last Febru ary. The secret service made public the names of six of those arrested who were listed as follows: Abra ham Perkes, 48; his brother Jo seph Perkes, 49; Harry Horowitz, 59, alias Harry Hale; Lois Sa- j) mouskl, 34, alias Louis Sommers; Abraham Glicksteln, 44, alias Al Stone, and Morris Rubin, 49, all of New York City. Maloney said that the other four men were lesser fry who were to have acted as passers of the stamps. The secret service asserted that the Perkes brothers were the makers of the counterfeiting plates which contained 25 im pressions of the 25-cent war stamps. Horowitz was charged with having printed the stamps and Maloney said it was at his es tablishment that the 210,000 stamps were seized. Brother Moose I will appreciate your sup port. HARVEY T.
