In the full year before the war imports totaled about 100,000,000 pounds. The department said the Brit ish government hid recently taken over the wool output of the Union of South Africa. A year ago it acquired the Aus tralian and New Zealand wool clips for duration of the war and one clip thereafter. As a consequence, only the production of Argentina and Uruguay, remaining surplus sources of any importance, are outside British control. Import Fixes Price. Stating that domestic prices will depend largely on prices of imported wool, the depart ment said quotations on the lat ter, in turn, would depend "part ly upon the quantities of Aus tralian and South African wools released for export and the prices fixed for such wools by the British government." Domestic prices have been advancing during the last sev eral months. London, Sept. 12.

Ai the sirens shrieked, the! king and queen left their car, in which they had been riding with Home Secretary Sir John Anderson, and walked down-1 stairs into the shelter. They resumed their tour when the "all clear" signal j sounded 10 minutes later. Strange Assortment In the bleak, dim-lit shelter, the king saw one of the strangest assortments of human ity these class-leveling air at tacks have brought together. Their majesties sat on bare wooden chairs in the center of the room, the king smartly dressed in his field marshal's uniform and the queen wearing a two-piece suit of salmon biege. On benches around the walls were policemen, court officials, overalled ARP (air raid precau tions) workers fresh from the ruins of a court house next door, white-smocked women from the police canteen, and others. When the royal couple walk ed into the shelter, about 30 persons already there stared astonishment, then clapped their hands. The king leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs and lit a cigarette. Waits For Tea One canteen woman bustled making tea, but it was not quite ready when the sirens sounded- again. The king re marked: "It's all clear, but I'm going to wait for some of that tea." In a few moments, he and the queen were drinking from the heavy china cups marked "police canteen." This is delicious! the queen exclaimed. "I should never have thought you could produce tea so soon. The canteen woman smiled proudly.
