The Office Of Price AdminiStra-
ton has allowed ample time for
all business to acquaint itself with
OPA requirements and now has
issued orders for action against all
wilful violatorS of the Price Com

All courts have been asked
Immediately to notify the enforce
ment division of the administra-
ton of any civil action started in
connection with price control laws.
These actions would be in connec-

workers in the General Cable
Company's Bayonne and Perth

voked the Little Steel formula

derstood, in denying the requested
increases.
The opinion was regarded as
particularly significant in view OF
reports that President Roosevelt
is preparing a general wage and
price policy and expects 10 an
nOunce il soon. Some officials ex-
pect that Mr.. Roosevelt either will
give the War Labor Board powers

who were commissioned as cap

created somewhat of a furore.
Criticism Of the item was con-
fined entirely TO friends and rela-
tives of the two. while the general
public, their business acquaint-
ances and eX-coworkers were al
most unanimous in opposing a
system which will put a man in
charge of group of soldiers dur
ing wartime for the sole reason
that he once played around with
sailboats az some yacht club.
Perhaps the best summary OF
what an eX-soldier feels about II
was contained in the following
! letter:

PLANS FOR using ice breakers
throughout the winter i'm Great
Lakes to keep the huge ore fleet
busy on the war effort were re-
vealed yesterday in an announce
ment that Toledo Shipbuilding
COMPANY will build the largest ice
breaker ever used on lakes and
also will convert three Detroit
River ferries into auxiliary ice
breakers.
The new ice breaker will be
equal in size TO the 5.950-ton ships
built last year for ocean service
which break through 2 feet OF ice.
Normally navigation on the
lakes shuts down from December
- to March | and insurance rates
are pTohibitive for operation be-
yond those dates. However. il is
felt that possibly the government
may underwrite any losses during
that period because Of the great
need for iron ore.

pertaining Just now whether steel
is being diverted for noneSSential
uses in some cases. and that black
markets may be selling limited
quantities IN violation of prioritleS
and price regulations.
Reese II. Taylor. chief Of the

coded that the old priority system
had broken down. and that some
new system would have TO be

He said he favored a quota plan
