wholesale prices may not yet have reached the re- tail buyer But nothing can be done to pre- vent retail prices from zooming and taking the cost of living sky-hgh with them. The retailer who has paid these higher wholesale prices not sell at his old prices and stay in business.
 Government officials say our hope of keeping the imitation wolf from stealing our bank accounts lies in federal price control. They. may be right, but the situation to call for more than just an arbitrary setting of ceiling prices. Some com modtes selling at figures which brought pro- ducers much smaller margin of profit than the profits being earned by their neighbors who were producing other items, before the present boom started These things must be taken into considera ton before any limit is placed on the increase al- lowed in prices above prices two years ago
 Then too, if the federal government gets no more cooperation from some industrial and labor groups in price control than has been received in the defense program price control may become a long, slow process, with many more price increases before prices stabilized.

FROM POTS TO PLANES

American housewives who complained that My old aluminium pot won't go very far toward building an airplane," were surprised this week when total results of the national drive for old aluminium were announced.
 According to the Office of Civilian Defense, which managed the national aluminium roundup, the drive which lasted the week of July 21 to 29, netted enough aluminium to make more than 1900 fighter planes or $50 -motored bombers.
 This report takes into consideration only the scrap aluminium donated during the one-week drive in the States. It does not include the aluminium drives in some sections which were staged after the national campaign. Certainly, it does not in- clude the aluminium raised in drives in the terri tories $500 pounds of which were shipped from Juneau as the result of a drive here sponsored by the Rotary Club
 But these incomplete figures of the Office of Civilian Defense showed total of 11,835139 pounds collected, about third of pound on the aver age from every occupied dwelling in the nation. It is estimated that this tonnage will yield about 100000 pounds of aluminium and the balance in iron and steel and other metals used alloys with the aluminium in pot and pan construction.
 Of the total collected, STA percent, or all but 31O0OO pounds was immediately aocated to smelters having defense preference ratings. This assures the use of the aluminium collected in defense plants
 The highest total collection in any state came from New Workers, who contributed 1,0500O0 pounds of the metal Second highest Pennsylvania, with total recorded contribution of 100000 pounds Massachusetts third with total of 699.l50 pounds
 Highest contributors per dwelling were the Rhode Islanders who threw their pots in the collection piles at the rate of 1088 pounds of metal for every occupied house in the state Second place in this division went to Nevada, where almost hreequarters of pound per home donated and in third place was the Mormon stronghold, Utah, with a contribution average of 0.716 pounds per home

 Wholesale food prices and prices of other farm products the increase much rapidly than in the first two years of the first World War Miss Elliott declared
 In the first two years of the first war Miss Elliott stated food prices went up 184 percent In the first two years of this war food prices have gone up 2e percent
 Farm products went up 12.6 percent in the first two years of the last war but this time they have increased 431 percent
 On the other hand, textile prices went up 436 percent in the first two years of the last war and have increased but 286 percent during the past two years And building materials increased in price PIP percent the first two years of the first and have gone up only 167 percent in like period this 
 Referring to wholesale prices Miss Elliott listed few items which we all buy and showed how these prices to dealers have increased.
 For instance overalls last month 35 percent higher at wholesale than in 1889 Work trousers at wholesale were up 37 percent. Wool rugs were up 23 percent Sheets, up AZ percent Butter, up AS percent Canned pink salmon up 52 percent Dried beans up 76 percent.

Svensson
 Retiresat
 Ageof65
Manager of Salmon De. pdrfment, Libby, MlNeiII
 and Libby, Celebrates

Capt. Fred Svensson. widely known manager of the salmon de- partment of Libby, McNei and Libby. celebrated his sixty fifth birthday in Seattle on September 30 - by retiring, after nearly thirty years with the company.
 And he took with him, as both a birthday gift and memento of his fellow-w workers esteem, an eight day Chelsea ships clock, with matching barometer and thermom- eter
 First, Captain and Mrs. Svensson plan to take a little trip = just where they're not quite sure yet. And after that-well, he'll just take hobby as an amateur painter.
 (Years ago the captain used to paint pictures, mostly of ships and the sea, all over the walls of the basement of his home. Since then he has put several on canvas, hop ing to eventually frame them)
 Born in Sweden, Captain Svens- son worked his way to the United States on a sailing ship at the age of fifteen and later sailed around Cape Horn to San Francisco.
 Associated with Libby, McNeil and Libby since 1913, he served as superintendent of the Kenai Can nery, Cooks Inlet, Alaska, until 1918; as general superintendent of the salmon department from 1918 to 1886, and as manager since then.
 By an odd coincidence, his suc- cessor. Guy V. Graham, also start ed with Libby, McNeil and Libby in 1913. From canneryman he sub sequently became draftsman; first machinist; cannery superintendent at Koggiung, Bristol Bay, Alaska; district superintendent of Bristol Bay; general superintendent of the salmon department, and now man. ager.

areas of war will be involved in the World War. Turkey could not escape being caught in the mesh of conflict. In sudden and start ling moves this month Hitler will reveal how completely he has had to change his plans which includ- ed the early subjugation of Rus sia. Through a secret message from Hungarian general, Stalin is said to have been informed of the Fuehrer's designs on Russia and thus to have made nasty defense preparations.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of di- verse experiences. Average success is indicated but there may be quar- rels with friends or associates.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be lucky in most ways, but mutations of fortune may be numerous. Love affairs are likely to be dramatic.

U. s. MILITARY ATTACHE

General John Magruder was re- gently appointed head of the U. s. military mission to China in order to heal the slight to Chiang Kali shek when he was not permitted to send an envoy to the Hartman con- ference in Moscow. But General Magruder is more famous for an- other chapter in his life.
 When he was military attache to Switzerland in 1888, Magruder sent a report to the War Department on the march of Hitler's mechanical forces to conquer Austria In this report he said that Nazi tanks and trucks were of poor quality and that many of them had broker down en route to Vienna
 This U. s. Military report was immediately picked up by the Brit ish who placed great confidence

world, since about a thousand miles is across enemy territory. The British bombers which make the flight use as much of the night as possible over German territory and also go up to tremendous attitudes.
 The U. s. mission to Moscow also had to fly in sections-three dif- ferent planes, flown on different days, With the time of departure kept a dark secret. And the last sections were delayed in London.
 The Chinese delay of the mission to Moscow occurred before Averill Hartman left Washington, when it was proposed that China, nearest friendly neighbor to Russia, should sit in with Hartman, Stalin and the others.
 But the State Department object ed-and for highly unexpected reason. Appeasement-minded dip- lomats inside the State Department claimed that a Chinese mission to Moscow would offend Japan. The United States was trying to WOO Japan away from the Axis, they argued, and so nothing must be done to rub the Japanese fur the wrong way.
 In the end, Japan reaffirmed it's partnership in the Axis; but only after the U. s. mission to Moscow already had started, also after Nazi victories in Russia seemed on the upgrade once again. So the ap- peasement policy of the State De- partment got nowhere.
 NOTE-Key to Japanese policy of friendship for the United States or allegiance to Germany always is the barometer of NaM military sllc- cess. If Hitler is winning, Japan will stick by him; and if the U. s. A. looks stronger. it is vice versa.
