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

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.

Churchill mentioned it first in
his Sunday talk. 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.

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 13.
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.

Federal housing is running up

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

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.
