March S. 1S7S 2 !.,- EPLEY ' eUUHCHlPTlON RAmii Today's Roundup ' By MALCOLM EPLEY OAKLAND, la. (Travel Correspondence) Yes, there Is such a place. We ran out here, 25 miles or so, from Council Bluffs, to gel away irom me nousmg shortage In the Omaha area. A bit of red neon advertised the local hotel; we asked about a room, and received a prompt assignment to the best in the tft 3T.fl The hotel is the upper floor ox a suuciure wium nuus several businesses on ths street level. Our fancy suite opens off the lobby. It fea tures a huge dormer window which hangs as a sort of plat form riiyht mil nvpr the mnin street of Oakland and evidently the busiest corner tonight. As I write I can see people as they walk along the street under me, and they can see me in my pajamas, pounding a typewriter. I'll probably be a local curiosity by the time this is finished. I fourth Capitol WELL, we did our fourth state capitol in as many days today. Sunday at Boise, Monday at Salt Lake, Tuesday at Cheyenne, and today we looked over Nebraska's $10,000,- 000 job at' Lincoln. We're not trying to set any record, but looks as if we might be at pes Moines, tomorrow. Nebraska's new capitol is terrific, of course, put a little dismal. One can't escape the thought he's walking through underground corridors. )t's dark in there, and there's a queer reverbera tion. But from 'way up on the 14th floor there is a superb view of Lincoln and the surround ng Nebraska farm country. We stayed there Jantil a courteous , young man probably a Uni versity of Nebraska student on summer job Informed us he was closing up. We caught the elevator to the dungeon corridors. S The big building with its high tower domin ates Lincoln, and it can be seen over the flat Country for miles before entering the city. Hebraskans are proud of their capitol; and Jroud it-was paid for as it was built. 1 Nebraska's unicameral system simplified mat ters for the architect. We peeked into the single legislative hall, which lacks the Quiet wood-wall Jjeauty of the Oregon chambers at Salem. W observed, however, that Nebraska uses the Righted board system for voting, which looks to us like a terrific improvement over the end- ess reading of names in the Oregon houses. . SIDE GLANCES Jes ostalgic rERSONALLY speaking, this was a nostalgic r da v. It involved a long drive from west fef North Platte to east of Omaha but a lot of time was spent looking at certain scenes of my childhood, especially at York. I After that, the run to Lincoln, the capitol Inspection, and another dash for Omaha. Din pier, "and we drove out through beautiful green, tolling country to Oakland. I As we have come east, the wheat has gotten Mellower and the corn higher. The wheat harvest has started here; it was still green and growing out in western Nebraska. The patch pork of green corn fields and yellow wheat tands added to the beauty of our evening tirive, which was happily climaxed by the . dis covery of a good bed.' By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, July 1 Large quantities of sugar are stored in Cuba, 1 am told by an authority who has seen and touched it. Pre sumably this government, which bought Cuban crop, is itself awaiting its own favorable action of dismantling OPA. Other stores of goods, including shins and shorts, are supposed to be in hoarding at the manufacturing or wholesale level. in the face of shortages at the consumer level, prices are soaring. 1 paid $1.90 for a pint of shrimp here at seaboard where you could get the same amount a few years back for one fourth or less. Now the theory of the new OPA law, worked out finally by congress, is to release stores and force up prices lor a time, (which will get goods out ot storage). Three months from now prices are expected to settle down to consumer demand, after the storage is gone. That is the theory in general. (It I were you I would buy no more now than necessary to my live- linood and plan to purchase unnecessary items later when promised price reductions are to be effected.) No Balanced Program BUT will it work? Wul prices go up for a few months and then level oft? Frankly 1 do not know. The liberals, conservatives or middle-readers do not believe congress has gone far enough with the de-control board (too hard to got to). They are suspicious of the new formula continuing OPA indefinitely (another year is specified), paying out a cool billion dollars from the treasury to producers NOT to raise prices, and exempting only food (meat, poultry and dairy products). Meat and butter are nearly extinct now in the east, and soon will be shorter. Grains are being shipped abroad. A balanced production and distribution program for food has not been worked out. No agency is doing it or is assigned to. The new OPA law is a compromise among politicos. OPA itself is half firm, half lax. The theory of continuing price controls until production is achieved, is satisfactory to most people, but the administration has been weak, neglected, spotty around the country (and has really hindered production which should be the goal). The radicals are propagandizing for public effect. The Idaho Senator Taylor who recent ly called for a buyers strike against prices is the same unidentified senator mentioned in this column recently as advocating communist doc trines regarding war. He tinpanned his way to election with a hillbilly band. 'He and the child-like Orson Welles got 500 to their rally for unamended continuance of OPA, and ob tained front page publicity which is what they wished also. a Actually Wrong THEORETICALLY they are right; actually they are wrong again when measured against OPA administration. Theoretically all controls should be maintained until production comes; but when controls impede production they are not in the consumers' interest, as is charged to be the case in many items now. This is not a question of conservatism or manufacturing lobbies, as they think and yell. It is a problem in true economics, as the farm er, butcher and producer will tell you. Here abouts they all want to get rid of OPA. Thus the future rests with OPA administra tion. That this will get production I am not confident. Indeed it is not charged with that duty. If we get production and a downward leveling of prices in a few months it will be because of the natural energy of the capitalistic system, and its desire to make profits. Frankly, 1 do not expect much change. All foods excepting vegetables will continue short for the summer, and maybe winter. Production in other items should be showing, but is de veloping gradually (refrigerators, autos, etc., but not radios). All we can do on this is to wait and see. BOYLE'S NOTEBOOK By HAL BOYLE I BERLIN, July 1 (If) Every good rumor is supposed to start From a beer bottle. In Germany, however, the beer Is too' watered to float a third bf the wild and unfounded re ports that sweep like prairie fires through Berlin and spread but to the occupied zones, t They have their origin in stead in fear, suspicion and perhaps in some cases are be gun by nationalistic Germans who still cling to hopes of restor- ng tneir nation i importance by aeiiDeraie out suDiie campaign o split the allies. ; Whatever the source, gossip tnongers pass the reports on by word of mouth, creating discon tent and worry in a people al ready fearful under the stress of defeat, poverty and hunger. By virtue of its 11 daily news papers, should be one of the world's best informed capitals, but actually, it is probably the most rumor-ridden. The quadri partite government is partly re sponsible, because the people Jeel no newspaper can be fully bjective because they are li censed by different powers. , No rumor is too ridiculous to be believed by some. Here are a few recent quotations from the gossip exchange. 1. That the Americans, British and French are going to pull out of Berlin, leaving the capital in Russian hands. This stirred such panic in some German quarters that Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, U. S. European theater com mander, issued an official de nial during a press conference. It was front page news in Ber lin papers, except those under Soviet control. 2. That Britain and Russia are on the verg of open war. One fraulein was so frightened at this one that she declined to make a date two days ahead ex plaining, "I'm afraid of what may happen this weekend, and I have to be ready to pack and flee." 3. That the Russian army is increasing its strength in Ger many and massing in power around Berlin and along the bor der with Britain In the north. American official information, on the contrary, indicates the Russians are reducing the num ber of their occupation troops. Atom For Moscow 4. That the Americans have a B-29 bomber ready and waiting on a field in their zone ready to give Moscow an atom spray in the event of sudden trouble. 5. That the Russians are using German factories and German scientists on German soil to manufacture weapons of war in quantity, including a new V-type rocket projectile said to be able to span the Atlantic in 40 min utes. 6. That the British, while cut ting rations in their zone, were letting food spoil and even run ning over potato dumps with tanks rather than distribute them to the German population. mis one came from Hamburg, i 7. That the atom bomb was really a German invention and that the allies stole it to win the war against Japan. 8. That the Russians are pre paring to deport 3.000,000 Ger- mans to work in Russia. 9. That neither Russia, nor i the western powers would ever release German war prisoners of officer rank, but would hold ; them for use on their own side in the event of a third world war. 10. That the allies would for bid marriage for two years be-! tween German nationals in or der to stunt the German nation and keep down its birth rate. : These are the 10 most popu- lar rumors today in Germany, i Stand in any bread ration line j and you can pick up another 10 ! just as authentic.

Climatic conditions be ing what they were, the recep tion was pretty good. Seemed like an awful long time, though, from the time the bombardier shouted "bomb away" until the blast came. It will be fun to see just how much damage was done. a Ross Doian, the tough private eye, goes off into the field of honor again tonight at 9 when he takes up the case of a boy just leaving prison. Dolan is convinced the lad is innocent and is out to prove it. The boy is kidnaped, all kinds of trou bles come along, and all in all, Dolan has a pretty rough time of it. a a The city wears a festive look today with flags hung along the streets and the first taste of the real rodeo spirit creep ing in to take over the town for four days. The men who put the pennants up did a smooth and fast job of it, be cause the signs weren't there Sunday afternoon. Crater lake, according to vis itors who traveled up over the weekend, is still as beautiful as ever, despite a lot of snow and cold weather. The rim drive will be open before long, and one of the world's show places will be open for business. a a Bly moves into the rodeo headlines today with the choos ing of Jill Givan for rodeo queen. The queen and her court will make an impressive sight, and one that no rodeo is com plete without. Anti-Saloon League Founder Dies At 91 COLUMBUS. O.. July 1 t,Vl Rev.
