The "vital point." ho said, is
that "the shortages would not

into giving price increases," he
said flatly.
Bowles thus answered testi
mony of American moat insti

senate committee last week.
They said OPA was "price-fixing
them into bankruptcy."

Bowles Denies
Famine Alarms
Washington, March 21 (U.R
Price Administrator Chester
Bowles said today that infla
tion of real estate and stock
market values is a serious prob
lem that needs quick corrective
action.
He told the senate banking
I committee that congressional ac
! (ion to curb sales prices on
j both urban and rural real estate
I should not be "long deferred."
It. is "too serious a problem''
j to permit, delay, he said. Then
j he added:
"So also is the problem of
; stock market inflation."
j He did not elaborate the ref-
erence or suggest what action
; should be taken about stock
I market prices. On real estate.
! he renewed his plea that con
! gress pass legislation providing
some authority to control sale
prices and commercial rents,
j The price chieftain also told
1 the senators that movies can
, not be dismissed as a luxury or
"insignificant factor in the cost
j nf living." Backing up his re
i cent plea for authority to con
trol amusement admission pric
es, he said the public spends
more than a billion dollars a
year on movies alone.
Bowles said movies account
for 1.7 percent in the cost of
living index compiled by the
bureau of labor statistics. This
is the same weighting "allot
ted in the aggregate" to gaso
line, motor oil, auto repairs,
auto license and taxes and in
surance, he said.
He said movie ticket prices
went up 31.1 percent between
May, 1042, and November. 1944.
and "the trend is still up
ward." In the same period, be said
barber shop prices have in
creased 20 percent and beauty
shop services 40 percent.
"As long as they remain un
controlled, these damaging in
creases will almost surely con
tinue," he said.

Sister Kenny
Leaving States
Minneapolis. Minn.. March 21
(U.R) Sister Elizabeth Kenny,
who founded a method for treat
ment of infantile paralysis, an
nounced Tuesday she was leav
ing the United States because
her presence "is no longer nec
essary." She also said she had been
"peremptorily" ordered by the
pediatric staff of the General
hospital and the University of
Minnesota to discharge four pa
tients suffering from muscular
disorders other than infantile
paralysis.
Sister Kenny said that she had
admitted these patients to the
Kenny institute in order to
prove that her methods were
not only valuable for treatment
of infantile paralysis, but also
for "other neuro-muscular dis
orders." Sister Kenny, who developed
her treatment of infantile par
alysis in the Australian bush
country, said she did not know
when she would leave Minneap
olis. She did not say where
she planned to go.
Alcoa Keeps Eye
On Northwest
Washington. March 21 fP
The Aluminum Company of
America plans to devote a sub
stantial part of its post-war en
ergies to the development of
markets in the Pacific north
west, I. W. Wilson, vice presi
dent, said in testimony before
the senate small business com
mittee. "There are no manufactur
ers in that section of marly
aluminum articles that could be
made and sold in substantial
quantities in that territory and
in the orient," he continued.
He said small manufacturers
in the northwest, having finish
ed parts for aircraft manufac
turers, "have learned how to use
aluminum metal and their
workers have learned how to
handle it.
Wilson asked congress to help
encourage larger use of alumi
num, and other light metals in
the government's shipbuilding
program. He said his company
and naval architects have work
ed out designs for a lighter
weight destroyer with record
speed. He added:
"On such a light-weight de
stroyer armor plale and guns
are possible which could not
wisely be put on a heavier type
boat."
He said the aluminum indus
try is optimistic over use of the
metal by small business in the
post-war period, but cited diffi
culties in finding future markets
for today's production.
He said America in 1939 pro
duced 327.000.000 pounds of
aluminum compared with privately-owned
capacity now of
1.000. 000. 000 pounds a year and
an estimated government plant
capacity of 1.30.000.000 pounds
Noting that some authorities
have suggested that Germany
and Jaoan be prohibited from
producing aluminum because of
its importance to war making.
Wilcon added:
"Tn the post war period, it
will make a great difference to
our export aluminum business
if Germany and Japan are for
bidden to engage in the manu
facture of aluminum."

under way Wednesday noon in
the heart of the bean growing

nishing its shovel to do the
digging and also tile for the
drainage ditch to go under the

I are cleaning up the debris and

not sufficient in the first placp
