SEE FULL CONTROL

At the outset. il is true. the
announced intention is merely to
put ceilings over certain prices.
But no ceiling is to be set over
the prices of labor or of farm
products. As these rise. business
will be squeezed between higher
costs and the ceilings over its
markets. Then substitutes will be
affected. Finally. all prices will
become involved, and complete
state control may develop.
This fact is emphasized Just now
by the labor situation. A strike
among the soft coal miners is
hurting the steel industry. A strike
against the United States Steel
Corporation is threatened. Strikes.
actual or threatened, are menac-
ing the automobile manufacturers
demands for steel. Thus it is no
wonder that the stock of -"fR3i Big
Steel" has been so weak. Its
weakness is not entirely due to
bad war news.
In this connection, too, the con-
tinued reaction in "the rails" is
to be noted. Some speculative fol-
lowing had come in here, and
domestic news that this group is
not to be so immune to profits
taxation as had been supposed,
was a factor in the decline.

CAUTION ADVISED

Thus one should not make the
mistake of forgetting the domestic
scene and paying attention solely
to war news. At this writing. the
dispatches seem bit more re-
assuring and tell of stands made
by the Allies. Even should these
mark a turn for the better. how
ever. one should remain cautious
pending the further unfolding Of
Washington economic policies.
But it should not be forgotten
that if stocks are worth ANYTHING
at all they are now mostly very
cheap. Moreover, there are some
favorable symptoms and condi-
items.
More than half the decline
was due to war news. This
Is largely a matter OF sentiment,
and can change quickly.

lit acts as If II could be
stopped at the preceding
main resistance level, the low of
February IA.
1.-The reaction was not con-
fined to stocks, but also
affected commodities and bonds.
Since these have shown signs of
holding or rallying, 1t Is not
unreasonable to be more hopeful
concerning stocks. 1t is actu-
ally encouraging TO find the
stock market doing no worse
than other markets.
e-The deeper the administra-
" ton becomes involved I'm the
war. the more IL must seek
efficiency In production. Before
long. therefore, II must see the
need of limiting the demands of
labor and OF avoiding acts that
discriminate against business.
Eventually. the way out Is to
make tire government more

troll Of business.

Freshmen Picket
Editor Advising
Kiss Economy
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 3.-A num-
Der of young men wearing funny
little hats yesterday trudged up and
down Fourth street worrying about
WOO.
They were picketing the Times
Dispatch, whose advice to the love-
lorn editor, Betty BLY,, in a GUS
tomary bit of cupid comment had
dealt with the business Of goodnight
kisses.
Miss Bly,, it seems, had cautioned
youthful reader to go lightly on
those kisses on the cold premise that
kissing ad infinitum is about as ro-
mantle as a head of cabbage.
Picking up that thought. one of
the picketS wore a card-Single-
decker sandwich faShion-denounc-
ing Betty Bly, for her kisses and
cabbage comparison. Some of the
others wore signs more pointed:
Betty Bly, hates WOO" they said.
I'VE hate Betty BLY,"
The little hats on the little men
identified them as University of
Richmond freshmen The hatless-
ness of several others who prodded
hated ones along identified them as
upperclassmen.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 24.-There
is no royal road to mass production
of aircraft engines. Gains in pro-
duction must be made "the hard
way" by continually fighting the
battle of the bottlenecks."

10 years of research and expert
mentation, Allison today has arrived

BY WILLIAM H. STONEMAN.
LONDON, Jan. 24.-Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh's testimony before the
House Foreign Affairs Committee in
washington yesterday has created a
sensation in London.
Col. Lindbergh's display of indif-
ference in regard to the fate of this
country came as special shock to
his quondam friends and various
hosts and hostesses. Lady Astor,
who entertained him handsomely at
both her st. James square town
house and her famous Cliveden
estate, was extremely upset.
you can quote me as saying that
I am positively appalled, and deeply
hurt" she said. considering the
fact that he enjoyed a year and a
half of peace in this country and
readily accepted the hospitality and
friendship of people here, I think he
has behaved in lamentable
manner"
1t was at Lady Astor's that Col.
Lindbergh found the first oppor-
tunity to recount his hair-raising
stories of German military might
to select audiences of Britishers.
Later, he repeated his stories to
many others, including David Lloyd
George, who branded them as rub
bish. Nobody knows how much in
f1uence he had on the late Neville
Chamberlain and other British gov
eminent leaders, but the terrific pro-
portions of the German air force, as
he described it, certainly weighed on
their minds.

President Chooses
Supreme Court Name
But Keeps Il Secret
Makes Selection to End
lmportunities, but
Won't Tell Now
BY JOHN c. HENRY.

President Roosevelt has chosen
successor to Associate Justice James
Clark McReynolds on the Supreme
Court, the Chief Executive revealed
to his press conference today, but
the choice is not to be made public
for several weeks
Mr.. Justice McReynolds submitted
his resignation Wednesday, effective
February /. Speculation as to his
successor has centered principally on
Attorney General jackson and Sena-
tor Byrnes, Democrat, of South
Carolina.
The Presidents disclosure that he
had made up his mind was made
half -jokingly when he told ques-
TONERS they might save everybody a
lot of trouble by intimating that the
matter has already been settled,
but will not be announced for sew
eral weeks. This might, he con-
tinued, discourage so many people
from sending so many recommends
tions and Endorsements, and save a
lot of headaches over speculation
about identity of the appointee.
Asked why the naming of sue
cessor to Justice McReynolds is to be
delayed so long, the President de-
clined an explanation. To further
question whether it was being held
back until after the pending lease
lend bill is passed, he laughed
heartily.
No Comment on Halifax.

Lord Halifax, new British Ambassa-
dor, or the selection of new envoy
