This was up 50 cents from yesterday's peak, the record for a day. Chief strength came from sharp eastern buyer de mand on the scarcest supplies in years.

Aug. 21 Wt Eight angry U.S. army wives called on the colonel today and com plained about living conditions at their Quonsct hut village, known as Palace Heights al though there is neither a palace nor heights. The wives said they had put up for their two months In Japan without plumbing, screen doors, mattresses or carpets be cause they understood they would have to live there only until permanent units were fin ished. Then what happens but they see in the army newspaper Stars and Stripes this morning that dependents arriving in Septem ber would go into the new hous ing units and they would stay in their Quonset huts. So thev say they are "tired of having rank pulled on our hus bands" who are all captains or lower grade, and they go off and call on Col. R. P. Thompson, ex ecutive officer for the head quarters and service group. Thompson heard their beef in private and "it was not a very happy meeting." said Mrs. Ruth Williams, formerly of San An tonio. Texas. Thompson came out of the meeting and said some of the complaints were justified, that these were the fault of the Jap anese contractors, Japanese la borers. Japanese materials and a Japanese manager who was sacked last week. The wives said they were go ing directly to Maj. Gen. Paul J. Mueller, General Mac Ar thur's chief of staff, to complain about the "injustice of assigning better housing to late arrivals.' Ceilina Prices (Continued from Pnce 1) If this procedure is adopted, officials added, It may be sev eral days before retail ceilings are re-invoked. In allowing milk, butter and cheese to remain ceiling- free, the board cautioned: "If (prices for) dairy prod ucts move upward from here on out, this board can and will put the industry back under con trol." Board Chairman Roy L. Thompson said in a radio ad dress explaining the decisions that retail milk prices have climbed an average of three cents a quart since ceilings lap sed July 1, and that two cents of this Increase "just made up for subsidies" which were dis continued at the same time. As for butter, Thompson said the subsidy was about 15 cents a pound, and added: "When you add that 15 cents to the prices you were paying under ceilings in June, I think you'll find the present prices are not far out of line. . . . "I am not saying, of course, that there were not several cities where distributors tem porarily took advantage of the situation. And we are aware, too, of the fact that much but ter was dumped on the market in the hope of cashing in while there was no price control." On grains, the board held that no ceilings should be re stored on wheat, rye, corn, oats, mixed feed oats, barley and grain sorghums, or any live stock or poultry feed made en tirely from one or more of the basic grains.
