able because his encounter was his
baptism of fire" Even the famous
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, leading
American ace in the first World
War, with 26 confirmed victories
to his credit, did not shoot down
more than two enemy planes in a
single engagement.
Early in the Honolulu raid 1t.
WEIGH and 1t. Kenneth N. Taylor
of Hominy, Okla, attacked a forma-
ton of six Japanese planes. Each
shot down two and the remaining
pair escaped. A short time later
1t. WEIGH out-manuevered two
other Japanese planes and destroyed
them single-handed.
In a short and spectacular career,
1t. Luke accounted for victories
over 4 planes and IA balloons be-
fore he met his own death behind
the German lines. His plane had
been forced down, but the young
Arizonian leaped out and died

Control Of Wages
And Rents Urged
In Senate Hearing
N. A. N. Spokesman
Asks Wide Action
To Avoid Initiation
By the Associated Press.


A spokesman for the National
Association of Manufacturers urged
today enactment of legislation to
control prices of all commodities,
rents and wages as a means of
preventing initiation.
The immediate and post war
dangers of imitation are so great"
c, Donald Dallas of New York,
president of Revere Copper and
Brass, Inc. told the Senate Bank
ing Committee, that price control
legislation is unfortunately neces-
sary in order to guard against
serious imitation"
Amendment Urged.
He asked amendment of the bill
passed by the House to make price
administration sufficiently flexible
to take care of changing costs"
provide for hearings on price
changes and removal of what he
termed an unjust discrimination"
in the limitation of farm price CELL
ings without equivalent limitation
on industrial price ceilings.
There can be no effective or fair
control of finished goods prices"
Mr.. Dallas declared, unless all
principal elements of cost are in
cluded. This should specifically in
clude either prior or simultaneous
control of rents, interest rates, farm
prices and wages.
Declared Sound Procedure.
IF it is legal and moral and
sound for the Government to put
a floor under wages as it did in the
Fair Labor Standards Act when it
is in the interests of the working
man and the public to do so, then
1t is equally sound and legal and
moral to do so when it is in the
interest of the working man and
the public to put ceiling on wages.
1T is unfair and unrealistic to
control perhaps 10 per cent of all
prices and leave 80 per cent alone,
especially when the 80 per cent
enter into the cost of the 10 per
cent. We can not stop imitation If
only 10 per cent of the prices are
controlled or curbed. Imitation will
not be defeated or curbed if the
entire problem is not faced realis-
tically and I am afraid this (House)
bill does not do So"
