ln< ldei.tially, a bulletin just came
through notifying us that any parcels
received in Miami after January 1st
to be sent down here would be held
there arid the contents noted. Then
a letter would lie written to the ad
dressee here in Manaos and we must
secure written approval from our
department head before the package
can be sent to us from 'Miami. It
lstrictly a company order because so
many people have abused the privile
ge of getting parcels down here and
order constantly for all clothes anl
supplies, even food, to be sent down
here and It makes too much cargo,
ts the same old story that everyone
must suffer the penalties because of
the greediness of a few. I am so dis
appointed in this new arrangement.
We discontinued our newspapers be
cause we didn't want to be selfish
but others entered subscriptions to
daily and Sunday papers from New
York and each mall night they carry
off great armloads of newspapers
which they hardly look at. As u
result* We are now w’arned that unless
we discontinue our subscriptions to
newspapers our privileges will be
taken away from us and no one will
receive either papers or magazines.
1 don’t blame the comiipny because
space must be saved for valuable
cargo and parts during war time but
you would Imagine
imagine the employees
would have better ■ sense than to
abous a privilege like that, wouldn't
you? You can still send the necessary
parcels down here but remember that
they will be listed (the contents) and
held In Miami until we are notified
down here, so It Is advisable not to
send anything perishable.

CONGRESS, THE LAST
SAFEGUARD
cAizens of the United States turn
to Congress to uphold their constitu-
tlonal right to court appeal from
bureaucratic rulings having the force
of law.
"Give a citizen the right to take
OPA problems into court when ne
cannot get the Price Administrator
to act on a problem," said Elisha
Hanson to a Congressional Commit
tee studying extension beyond June
30 of the Emergency Price Control
Act. Hanson spoke for the Safe
way Stores. Ho showed that during
a whole year he had been unable to
get OPA to act finally on a single
one of 10 protests, nor could he get
them before the Emergency Court of
Appeals.
To back up his appeal, he exhibited
a current page advertisement of his
client, offering food, much of It at
prices below the ceiling highs allow
ed by OPA. He told the story of a
grocery company that sells below
ceilings on food items when it is Im
possible, but which balks when not
able to get action from the Price
Administrator
on
Its
complaints
against discrimination that forces
selling below operating costs cn
other Items.
He showed that Safeway, which
bought fresh vegetables and produce
directly from growers and performed
Its own crating, packing, refrigerat
ing and other warehouse functions
for its retail outlets, was "denied
credit or allowances" for the expense
involved in those wholesale functions
although they were exactly the same
as those on which Jobber* are allowed
caedit in performing such services
for other retailers.
Hanson asked two basic changes
in the price control act which seem
fundamental to Justice: (1) Action
from the Price Administrator on
complaints in reasonable time, and
(2) recourse to courts for a hearing.
Congress Is ‘the last resort of the
citizen for protection against official
rulings and directives which have
the effect of law without Independent
court review.

Our pastor reproved his people
for their lack of attendance at the

any one service. I’m ashamed,” he
cried seriously. "In a time like this,
