NEW YORK-The New York
Daily News, quoting unidentified
friends, said in copyrighted
article Monday that the Duchess
Of Windsor had her face lifted
sometime between Christmas and
New Years day.
DR.. J. Daniel Shorell. New
York plastic surgeon, who was
said to have performed the opera
ton, could not be reached.
The News said the operation
was performed at the governor
mansion at Nassau shortly after
her dental operation in Miami.
The operation removed wrinkles
from her chin, but did not touch
her mole Tiny scars just under
and behind the ears are the only
marks. and the duchess couture
hides them.

Our vessel threaded cautiously
among these menacing hulks. Also
there was danger Of mines, which
the Italians had laid in profusion.
Tobruk already has become an
important British post. Its harbor
gives excellent shelter within a few
miles of an expansive airfield. and

British base at Alexandria

merchant vessels were destroy

In a move to keep down prices in
the building field, the Office of Price
Administration last night announced
it was preparing schedule of maxi
mum prices below current level for
asphalt roofing products and build
ing paper. The o. P. A. said it
would also establish ceiling prices
for rags used in the manufacture
of roofing. Asphalt roofing and
shingles, it was said, have gone up
20 per cent this year, and the price
of old rags is up about SIS ton.
The o. P. A. also declared it would
! investigate factors behind recent
price increases made by three pulp
manufacturers to determine whether
a schedule of maximum prices
should be imposed on the industry.
The three companies-Container
Corp. of America, st. Regis Kraft
Co. and Eastern Corp.-have agreed
to submit detailed data about
higher prices they set recently. On
October 10, according to the o. P. A.,
all other pulp producers agreed not
to exceed during the remainder of
1941 prices prevailing in the third
quarter.
Meanwhile, in an effort to turn
displaced non-defense workers and
plants to defense production, Fed
