OPA MOVES 10
CUT PROFITS
' Br IRVING PERLMETER
WASHINGTON, May 10 VP)
The OPA cut profit margin to
day on grocery itore ale of
cabbage, onions and tome poul
try, and also reduced price of
alt codfish.
These were the latest steps In
the avowed effort of OPA Chief
Prentiss M. Brown to bring
down the cost of living, the ma
jor feature of which is a plan of
subsidies designed to Bring on
June 1, a 10 per cent cut in the
retail cost of beef, veal, lamb,
mutton, coffee and butter.
George Meany, secretary-treasurer
of the American Federa
tion of Labor derided the subsidy
plan, reported to Involve $300,-
000,000, as mere "peanuts" in
comDarison with other federal
expenditures. Declaring a 10
per cent deduction on "just a
handful of items" is not enough.
Meany called In a broadcast yes
terday for a rollback of all good
prices to the May, 1942 levels.

they may be forced to establish

We have to remember that this
Is a WORLD war, with many
fronts. '
QN the home front, the cost
of living is to be CUT arbi
trarily by forcing back celling
prices on certain items. Presum
ably, other ceiling prices will
be forced back later. .
The losses thus occasioned will
be made up to the losers by
TREASURY SUBSIDIES.
WHAT it will amount to will be
saving some money on some
things now, and charging the dif

paid for in taxes after the war

Enemy Rejoicing
Seen if Reciprocal
Trade Powers Held
(Continued From Page One)
Knutson took the floor and said
on the reciprocal trade law:
"It failed to expand our export
markets for agriculture; it failed
to preserve world peace and it
has failed to lay a foundation for
peace.
Friendship Queried
"If it be true that the goodwill
of other nations may be bought
with trade concessions why is
not Japan a friend rather than
an implacable foe?
'The president and state de
partment permitted the exporta
tion of millions of tons of scrap
iron and steel to her that she re
turned to us at Pearl Harbor in
the form of planes, torpedoes and
other implements of death. In
deed, the Japanese planes that
dealt death at Pearl Harbor were
powered with American gaso
line." Hypocrisy
Rep. Fish tR-N.Y.) said it was
"sheer hypocrisy and bunkum
and falsehood" to say that the
agreements "have something to
do with preserving the, peace"
and that the idea was "sold
through mass propaganda,
especially to women s groups
which are writing to us.
Fish said he favored continua
tion of the agreements in their
present form, but for two years
instead of three, "so the hands
of the next congress are not
bound."
Unemployment Seen
After the war. Fish contended,
the United States would have
20,000,000 to . 30,000,000 un
employed. He asked: "So we
want to enter an agreement with
Czechoslovakia, for instance,
where workers get $1 a day, and
place their goods in competition
with ours, made by workers get
ting $5 a day, and add to our
unemployment?"
Democratic Leader McCor
mack (Mass.) said that "as far
as the republican party in the
house is concerned, we're going
to have a repetition of isolation
ism and trade barriers."

The companies also asserted

Franco's Appeal
"Abroad. Spain demands
post which corresponds to her
history in service, numanuy ana
worth." Franco declared.
"It is the serene policy which
w have followed since the first
day of our movement, without
abandoning our; sovereignty nor
our prestige, and which, in these
times when the world is a sea
ot blood and hate, raises its
vole, united with that of the
holy Pontiff, to appeal to the
conscience of peoples.
'The world has now under
gone three years of war, and
when this time is passed, it is
fitting to think of peace, of end
ing hate and of. bringing peo
nies together.
"The fact that belligerents re
main deaf to these appeals does
not mean that the war has no
solution.
"We have reached what may
be called the dead point in the
atrussle. None of the being'

troy hi opponent.
"Therefore those of us wno
serenely watch the struggle

Surrender Begin
The whqlosale surrender of
the enemy battalions then be
gan and by early afternoon all
tho northern region where the
enemy had been cut off by the
wedge the British first army
drove through to Tunis was
cleaned up.
The bulk of the German
armor was there and the total
of prisoners was over 25,000, in
addition to another 23,000 taken
by the British .
Five Generals Taken
Five other generals were
among those who surrendered
with Krause.
They were Major General
Boroweltz, commander of tho
13th armored division; Major
General Neuffer, commander of
the air force artillery division!
Lieutenant General Buolouvlus
commander of the Mannteuffel
division; Major General von
Vacrst, commander of the fifth
armored army, and Major Gen
eral Baumsenge, commander of
the Blzcrte air forces.
The surrendering Germans
were concentrated In an area
around the mouth of the Mod-
jerda river, which flows Into
the Gulf of Tunis 25 miles
southeast of Bizerte.
Catvm Borowelts
The British seventh armored
division, which had come up
from the south to aid the Amer
icans, caught Boroweitz, whose
13th armored division they had
been fighting for two years.
Meanwhile British armor strlk
ing south and southeastward
from the Hamman Llf area on
the Gulf of Tunis southeast of
the capital found the Germans
stiffening there, temporarily at
least, and there was some flrce
mighting which was confused to
day.
Armored Push
Armored columns pushed
ahead, however, and forward pa
trols reached a point 12 miles
south of Creteville which
placed them near the center of
the peninsula's base and de
ployed i nother areas.
Some- enemy troops on the
peninsula were attempting to get
away, sometimes In what amount
ed to panic, and allied air forces
were attacking them both on
land and sea. They sank many
smal boats laden with soldiers,
who clung desperately to rafts
after the vessels submerged and
tried to ward off attacks by
waving white flags.
80.000 in Trap
A first army spokesman on
the Cap Bon front estimated
Saturday that 80,000 axis troops,
deserted by their highest com
manders, had been swept Into
the peninsula's bataan-like trap.
Allied aerial squadrons, leav
ing trails of sinking or burning
vessels at sea and shattered mo

Praising WPB Chairman Don
aid Nelson for "a very good Job,"
Republican Leader McNary
(R-Ore.) asked the senate today
to reject legislation to set up
an independent office of civilian
supply.
Too Msnr Agencies
McNary said the government
already has too many agencies."
"I certainly don't think it is
necessary to create a new agency
to deal with the civilian popu
lation," he said. "Frankly, I
think Mr. Nelson is doing a very
good job."
McNary said that the civilian
supply division recently reorgan
ized by the war production board
should be given an opportunity
to demonstrate ability to handle
the supply problem.
More Work
McNary- said supporters of
President Roosevelt should op
pose efforts to "pilo more work
on his shoulders," instead of re
lieving him of details, since a
proposed czar under the bill
could. In disputes, appeal ad-
verse decisions to the chief ex-1
ecutlvo.
"If I had my way, I would
repeal some of the statutes now
in existence and repeal some of
the directives," McNary snld.
"I'd have one roal czar or dic
tator to handle this war prob

Nelson had appealed for time to
