Bread, Flour
Controls Due
For Discard
Ouster Order Expected
This Week; Auto Price
Tops Likely to Stand
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 UP)
Both UPA and Agriculture de
partment officials indicated to
day that price controls will drop
from flour, bread and other
baked goods this week, possibly
today or tomorrow.
An OPA spokesman pointed out
that controls had been removed
from all fats and oils, including
shortening, which are a big
snare 01 DaKers costs.
Today was the deadline for ac
tion by the Apriculture Depart
ment upon a decontrol petition
from the baked goods industry.
Agriculture previously had de
nied a decontrol request by mill
ers but the industry renewed its
petition and a public hearing was
conducted last week.
Freeing of flour, bread and
other goods from "rice ceilings
would reduce OPA controls to a
small share of the average fam
ily's food. Cereals make up about
13 per cent of the average family
budget and about 80 per cent of
the food budget had been freed
lrom price lids previously.
Auto Price Up to Limit
On the automobile front,
where four industry-wide in
creases in the last year have
boosted ceilings roughly 22 per
cent above 1942 nrices, the OPA
official told a reporter:
"Most of the major manufac
turers agree with us that auto
mobile prices have gone about as
high under ceilings as they

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
FROM Washington comes this
news:
"The administration is -pushing
ahead with plans to take federal
curbs (both wage controls and
price controls) OFF the nation's
economy."
The dispatch adds that Novem
ber 1 is pegged as the tentative
deadline for removal of most
price ceilings.
WHAT that means POLITICAL
LY is that the administra
tion has decided that more votes
can be obtained by taking off the
controls than by leaving them on
which is a cynical way of say
ing that in the opinion of the po
litical experts price control is no
longer popular in this country.
WHAT will it mean in the way
of higher prices and spread
ing Inflation?
If you are wise ,you will watch
and wait and make no wild pre
dictions. With artificial controls
off, prices will ultimately be de-'
termined by supply and demand.
.Supply and demand will be af
fected by WHAT PEOPLE ARE
WILLING TO PAY.
THERE are some interesting
straws in the supply and de
mand winds.
Immediately after removal of
meat controls, prime steers (the
kind from which the big, thick
steaks come) sold on the bid-and-

Ui S.-Occupied
Area Target of
Nazi Bombs
STUTTGART, Germany, Oct.
21 (IP) A ranking, unnamed
American Army official said to
day he expected more bombing
like the weekend blasts In the
Stuttgart area, as "protests
against the denazification pro
gram." U. S. military and German
criminal police worked with
counter Intelligence agents in ef
forts to crack the bombing of
two denazification board head
quarters and the U. S. military
jail which some investigators
thought to be connected to the
approaching German trial of
Hjalmar Schacht, truculent old
banker who was acquitted at
Nuernberg. No one was hurt.
Schacht, under arrest in a Ger
man prison some distance from
the one which was bombed,
shouted to a reporter from his
cell that the bombings were "ob
viously a democratic protest
against the Hitlerite measures
of the Germans who want to try
me again."
Other Bombings Reported
The city of Stuttgart offered
a $2,500 reward for Information.
American authorities disclosed
that an American motor pool was
destroyed in an explosion in the
Mannheim area early this month
and that a week before the Stutt
gart bombings, - an American
Army officer's car was demol
ished south of here by an infer
nal machine. The investigators
thought both incidents "possibly
may have some connection."
Schacht, who was Hitler's fi
nance minister and Reichsbank
president early In the Nazi re
gime, said he learned of the
bombings early today.
me - who would want to kill
me? he said fiercely. "I am no
Nazi. They are protesting against
the illegal measures of these
Germans who today are trying
to imitate Hitler.
"I am being detained illegally,
These Germans are stupid fools.
Criminals, Rogues. Hitlerites.
Who ever heard of a man being
tried twice on the same charges?
This is not democracy; this is
Hitlerism."

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. UP) A strike by pilots first of Its
kind in commercial aviation halted all flights today by Trans World
Airlines planes in the United States and across the Atlantic.

qucsne Light Company employes
back at work the Sun-Telegraph

capital "at least $300,000,000" In
business and wages.

Soviet-Backed
Party Loses in
Berlin's Vote
BERLIN, Oct. 21. VP) Vir
tually complete returns today
showed that the citizens of Ber
lin sharolv rebuffed the Russian
sponsored Socialist Unitey (Com
munist) party in elections for
city and borough councils.
The Social Democrats party
won 48.7 per cent of the tabulated
votes and the Christian Demo
crats took second place with ap
proximately 2.1 per cent.
The Socialist Unity party,
which was formed In the Russian
zone by merging the Communist
and Social Democrats parties, ran
third with about 19.8 per cent.
The balloting was in all four
of Berlin's occupation zones for
parties, and not for individual
candidates. City and borough
councils will be selected on a pro
portional basis. The new council
will replace the city government
established last year oy tne rtus-
sians when the Red army was the
only military force present.
Fourth in the voting was the
Liberal-Democrat party with 9.5
per cent of the vote.
Socialization Favored
Social Democrats leaders said
thev were surprised at the extent
of their plurality and that they
had expected to win only 40 per
cent.
The Social Democrats stand for
socialization of industries. The
second ranking Christian Demo
crats are staunch advocates of
private property rights. The
Socialist Unity party also espous
ed socialization of industries, ad
vocating wide expropriation of
properties belonging to persons
they call "war criminals, big
Nazis and capitalists," a means
opposed by the Social Democrats.
The Social Democrats showed

even in some important districts
