Ten per cent in retail ceilings on rubbers, galosh es and other rubber footwear.. Six or eight cents a ton on roal for household use, to cover freight In creases. One cent to six cents a pair on some work gloves. From three and one half to seven per cent increases on cotton rugs. Shoe Prices Rise Eight per cent on certain shoes. Since these types account for 30 per cent of all production, the gen eral level of shoe prices rise Z.f per cent. Up to 21 per cent on lower priced auto seat covers. One to three cents on each piece of In expensive chinaware. All the increases were designed to offset higher costs of labor and materials, or to stimulate produc tion of scarce items.

Ross called reporters' attention to a letter Mr. Truman sent Feb, 1 to Chairman McMahon (D- Conn) of the senate special atom ie committee, outlining, principles on which he believed domestic development and control of the new power should be centered. The main item in that list was a control commission "composed exclusively of civilians," but without bars against former mili tary personnel. Such a commission is provided in the bill as passed. Lt.

The Kentucky - born farm mig rant has been following the fruit 10 years. He set an apple picking record at Chelan, Wash, last year with 360 boxes in a day, and he's reported to have picked a record haul of peaches in California, too.
