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. I

Yesterday's atom bomb
broadcast was a noisy thing,
anyway, and it kept a lot of
people glued to their radios for
awhile. 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.
