Duesseldorf Is the administra Davis Threatens to Quit OWJ After House Move To Kill Domestic Bureau WASHINGTON, June IB (P) Elmer Davis said today he would quit his Job as director of the office of war information (OWI) if its domestic branch is abolished, and the house voted to do so yesterday. "If the senate concurs with Iho opinion of the house, there will be no OWI, and that Is that," tho director told an Infor mal press conference. He added it would "also be the end of me as director." "This was a combination over seas and domestic Job that I was called down to do. If the senato concurs In the house view, that Job is ended. It will be the Job of somebody else to take care of whatever they choose to do In foreign Information."

In the attack, the RAF used the greatest force of . heavy bombers ever sent out in the mounting 1943 . offensive. , The RAF lost 43. The air ministry said the one night's bombing obliterated all the work of reconstruction that went on -through last autumn and winter, after 380 acres were flattened during last summer. . "Three times as much again is to bo done" now, the ministry said of the repair task facing tho Germans. "This probably Is an impossible task at this stage of tho war.

'There Is quite a difference between me and Goebbcls, as Mr. Starnes would discover if he read the order by which President Roosevelt created OWI, or followed our activities." Davis remarked. "For one thing, Dr. Gocbbcls doesn't have to go to the reichstag for his appro priation."

Starnes referred to OWI Chief Davis as an American labor par ty member and said OWI had a "distant socialistic tinge." " Republicans have charged on the "house floor, during the past foiMi months that OWI ' issued "fourth term propaganda" which was promptly denied. ' Rep. Murphy (D-Pa.) told the house before it voted last night that "the real purpose here is to snipe at the commander-in-chief." Republicans shouted "no" and they laughed when he sug gested it would do congressmen "an awful lot of good" to read some of OWI's pamphlets.

The new top prices will be posted in all markets. They may sell for less but not more.

"It will protect the honest and legitimate dealer as well as the consumer. . "It is another highly impor tant step in holding the line on the cost of living." The statement said that through the subsidy plan tho rollback and lower prices are ef fective all down the line with out loss at any level, whether farmer, slaughterer, processor, distributor, wholesaler or re tailer. Vigorous enforcement will be carried out. "Over-charges may indicate black market practices, so report them," Owen said.
