OPA Considers Price Cut
On Rice at MiI|inq Level

BY the Associated Press.
The Office of Price Administrator
is considering a 10 per cent cut in
the ceiling price on rice at the
milling level to be effective by the
time the new crop goes to market
in mid-AuguSt
The "roll-back," OPA said. ap-
pears to be necessary to permit
wholesalers, particularly in the
Southeast. to continue to purchase
from mills and still maintain their
present ceiling prices without loss.
All present wholesalers and retail
ers are covered by the universal
price ceiling, with prices frozen at
the highest March levels, With
millers under a separate ceiling,
many wholesalers are required to
sell at price lower than will permit
them to buy new quantities OF
rice from the mills, OPA explained.
OPA expects to call a conference
of rice growers and millers, probably
in early August, to discuss tho pro-
posed changes. 80

Business Service Fears
Labor Crisis Is Near
sn.ci.l nisnatch to The Star

Special Dispatch 70 Inc cosI-
BOSTON, July 20.-The Nation
is rapidly nearing real labor crisis
one that may put a ceiling" on
war production, the United Business
Service says.
According to figures released by
the War Manpower Commission the
number of workers now directly
engaged in war work totals about
1880 900, nearly double the pre-
Pearl Harbor figure. 1t is estimated
that about 100000 more must be
added by the end of this year.
With total unemployment in the
country now down to less than
100000 persons Cmany unemploy
able). and the armed services taking
several hundred thousand men each
month, the answers are obvious
More workers must be diverted to
war work from civilian goods in
dustries and many more women and
teen-age youths must be employed
if war production goals are to be
attained.
