Cattle Effective
Washington, Jan. 29 HP) Ceil
ing prices on live cattle, ranging
from $17.25 to $18.60 a hundred
weight, went into effect today as
part of the government's drive to
eliminate black markets and end
the price squeeze on wholesale
and retail dealers.
The office of price administra
tion said It had established an
"over-riding ceiling" at 10 market
centers and in 24 market areas
which will be the legal limit for
the sale of all grades of cattle and
calves. Exempted are animals
sold for breeding or commercial
purposes and those sold by mem
bers of 4-H clubs or other recog
nized farm youtn organizations.
Profit Assured
Officials said the over-riding
price would assure a profit to
wholesalers and retailers, many
nf whom have been forced to buy
at prices higher than their own
sale price unaer previously estao
lished wholesale and retail ceil
ings. The on-the-hoof prices will
be cut by 50 cents all along the
line July 2.
In addition td formally estab
lishing the ceilings, which were
ordered several weeks ' ago by
Economic Stabilization Director
Fred M. Vinson, the OPA ordered
establishment of a "drove com
pliance" system under which
slaughterers will be limited in the
total amount they may pay in
buying cattle during a monthly
accounting period.
Limit Set
During the accounting period
a maximum limit, on a percent
age basis to be determined later,
will govern the good and choice
cattle a siaugnterer may Kill.
The ceiling prices range from
$17.25 in zone seven most of

Time Invalidation
Of Stamps Is Due
Washington, Jan. 29 IIP) With
restoration of the system of peri
odic food stamp invalidation, the
office of price administration to-
Yv hnnpH in pnri thr TM-nhlom nt
. . !" .7
mat would naooen to tne na
tion's food supply if consumers
suddenly began to spend saved-up
ration points.
Ration values are set by OPA
each month on the basis of cur
rent supply information furnished
by the war food administration.
Long-range ration planning is
handicapped by fluctuating mili
tary demands and the uncertain
distribution system. Sudden use
of pent-up points, possible under
the old system of indefinite vali
dation, has constituted one of the
greatest threats to the rationing
system, in the opinion of OPA.
Problems Presented
As long as supplies are plenti
ful, possible effects of buying
sprees are not feared. When sup
plies are sub-normal, the danger
is acute. Such a situation caused
the cancellation of stamps at
Christmas without advance no-
Pl Under the stamp invalidation
astern, restored yesterday by the
OPA, all food stamps will have
a period of about four months of
circulation before becoming in
valid and consumers know in ad
vance that they cannot save them.

New Devices Due
ForP-38 Planes
Los Angeles, Jan. 29 IP) New
devices to make the already
powerful P-38 a more deadly war-
plane were announced today by
Lockheed and army officials in
disclosing the "on to Tokyo"
model P-38-L.
The "L" model with its speed
increased six per cent over the
previous model, now has a speed
in excess of 425 miles per hour,
with a terminal velocity of 575
miles an hour. Drop tanks are
used to boost its range from 1700
to 3,000 miles and the plane can
now carry 4,000 pounds of bombs,
50 per cent more than previously.
New air compressibility flaps,
supercharger devices and a hy
draulic aileron booster control
have contributed to the planes
increased deadline.
Census bureau statistics for the
period April 1, 1940. to November
1, 1943, indicate that births in this
country exceeded deaths suffi
ciently to make up more than half
of the losses in civilian population
through induction into the armed
services.
Capital Has Too Many Police,
Opines Frederick C. Othman
By Frederick C. Othman
(United Press Staff Correspocdent)
Washington, Jan. 29 dli Louisi
ana's Rep. F. Edward Hebert,
holding forth in an office fitted
with shaded lamps, potted plants,
coffee tables, jars of pralines and
cigarette boxes full of smokes,
went to work today on a gentle
man he calls an old sour-puss.
Meaning Secretary of Interior
Harold L. Ickes.
Their battle ostensibly concerns
capital cops, but Hebert claims it
is a test case to see whether con
gress will make up its own mind,
or turn the business of lawmaking
over to the members of President
Roosevelt's cabinet.
"What I moan," said Hebert
(pronounced A-hear and don't you
forget it), "is that when a con
gressman writes a bill it goes to
committee. The committee sends
it to a department head, like this
Ickes, and he says whether he
like it. If he likes it, okay. If not,
I say who the hell is making the
laws? congress? or Ickes?
"That's where this cop thing
comes in."
Hebert claims the capital is so
full of so many assorted brands of
policemen that every time there is
a murder six varieties of Wash:
ington blue coals step on each
other's brogans.
The Metropolitan police force
guards the city. The Parks police
patrol the parks. The Capitol po
lice staff the capitol. The White
House police keep the eagle eye
on the White House. The Secret
Service hunts counterfeiters. The
FBI goes after kidnapers.
There probably are some other
kinds of cops here, too, but He
bert hasn't got around to count
ing 'em. What he did was intro
duce a bill combining the City po
lice with the Parks police, who
come under Ickes' jurisdiction.
The bill went to committee and

then it went to Ickes' who said,
no.
"Tills Ickes Is not going to tell
me anything," Hebert said. "Ickes
wants everything he can grab. He
probably wants to put the District
of Columbia under his National
parks service. Ho calls himself
the old curmudgeon. I call him
the old chamelon. He is the only
man I know of who enjoys being
an old sour-puss."
Hebert had some more to say
about Ickes. but you get the gen
eral idea. He said the cop con
solidation was of no great im
portance, but that the principle
was. Or to put it his way:
"If some department Is going to
tell congress what laws to pass
and what not, what's the use of
having a congress?"
Hebert has been in congress
now for five years and anylvody
who neglects to call him'A-bear
gets no civil answer from him.
"But lately I haven't had much
trouble," he reported. "I spelled
out the pronunciation In the con
gressional directory. I wrote let
ters to the radio announcers and
whenever I call up somebody and
get his secretary, I say, 'This is
congressman A-hear.'
"She says, 'Who?'
"And I say, 'It's not a wolf
its A-bear, hut it gets the same
results.'
"She laughs and thinks that's
pretty funny, which is all right
by me. She doesn't forget A-bear.
That's important. The conslltu-j
ents call me A-bear and I don't I
want any of 'em coming up here '
and saying this A-bear is goin;;
high hat, calling himself, Hee-i
bert." I
As for the A-bear candy, it is :
fine. If your name isn't Ickes,!
drop in and he'll eive vou a nlem !

Legion Post Ired
Oyer Jap Action
Hollywood, Jan. 29 an Rebel
lious world war II veterans of
post 591 of the American legion,
still smarting from a rebuke by
P. A. Horton, district commander,
for admitting a Japanese-American
veteran into membership, to
day demanded he file formal
charges or make a public apology.
The demand, made in a tele-'
gram to California department
commander Ed W. Bolt, was in the
form of a resolution passed at
a special meeting of the executive
committee of world war II post
591 last night.
The dispute began last Tuesday
when Horton visited a post 591
meeting to criticize the post's
action in admitting Hurley Oga, a
Japanese-American veteran, Into
(he 591. Oka, along with a score
of other world war II veterans.
had been inducted Into the ranks'
of 591 a few weeks earlier. Post j
591 has a membership of 450, all
veterans or world war II.
Charges Hurled
Members of 591 charged that
Horton demanded they expel Oka
along with post commander Wil
nam Schneider, who Horton
al -
legedly said was "unfit for leader
ship."
The committee's telegram to
Bolt read In part:
"In view of the various false
public accusations made by P. A.
Horton, 24th district commander,
against individual member and
officers of post 591, we demand
that the commander (Horton) file
any formal charges that he may
have against our post conforma
five ... in order that this post
may have a right to vindicate its
action in the eyes of its members,
the American legion und the
public."
The request also said that "in
the absence of any formal charges
by Horton" against the post, he
"be made to publicly apologize to
the post for his accusations".

Review of Case
Washington, Jan. 29 (U'l The
supreme court today granted
Harry Bridges,' west coast CIO
labor leader, a review of his suit
to escape deportation to Aus
tralia. The court denied, however, a
petition of the Communist Politi
cal association for permission to
intervene In the case. The asso
ciation (formerly the communist
party) wished to present material
in objection to a finding by At
torney General Francis Biddle
that the communist party ad
hered to "violent overthrow of
the U. S. government."
Ordered Deported
Bridges was ordered deported
by' the attorney general in May,
1942, as an alien communist. He
is seeking to block expulsion
through habeas corpus proceed
ing. He appealed to the high
court after the ninth circuit court
of appeals affirmed denial of the
writ by District Judge Martin I.
Welch of California. The commu
nist group then entered its mo
tion to Intervene.
Biddle signed the deportation
order on a finding that Bridges,
head of the powerful longshore
men's union, was affiliated with
the communist party and that the
party believed In overthrow of the
u. S. government by "force and
violence."

Lloyd Shorett today prepared to
file first degree murder charges
aealnst 15-year-old Irvin Snulres,
who shot and killed his former
girl friend. Marilyn Kirkev, bv
firing a high-powered rifle bullet
through the kitchen window of
her home.
Squires said he killed the pretty
14-year-old high school freshman
as she stood washini? dishes after
dinner Saturdnv night because
she had jilted him and he wanted
revenge.
"I tried to think of some other
wav than killing her, but I could
n't." he told Shorett. "I knew I'd
get life for It, but I don't fare."
Takes Careful Sight
Sauires. who joined the mer
chant marine a year ago by falsi
fying his aire, said he stood out
side the Kirkev home for 15 min
utes trying to get up nerve
enough to fire the gun , he had
taken from the home of a relative.
Twice during the brief period, he
said, he sighted the weapon but
each time he lost his nerve.
"At first she wasn't facing me,
"it finally she turned," he said.
"I sighted right down the barrel
at her heart, and fired. I saw her
spin around and fall."
As Squires hitch-hiked to the
Georgetown precinct police sta
tion to surrender. Marllvn's fath-
er, Cecil B. Klrkey, rushed into
the kitchen after hearing the shot
and the girl, mortally wounded in
tne neck, died in his arrns.
