Afraid workers in the District
might be warned that the white
helmets they have been issued are
more than mere decorations.
Four British "blitz scouts"-so
called because OF their participation
in civilian defense work during air
raids on Great Britain-who arrived
in Washington yesterday for brief
stay, count bsinesslike tin hats"
among the liberal supply Of equip
ment they carry. =.
These were just issued especially
for this trip to the United States,
for the sake of neatness and uni
formity, King Scout John Bethel, Is,
of Birkenhead explained.
THE cne I left at home is a bit
banged up" he said casually. From
questioning, 1t develops that falling
bricks do leave their marks, even on
steel helmet, and young Mr..
Bethel has been exposed to his share
Of falling bricks.
Some Body Hits.
ANY bricks ever leave their mark
on YOU instead Of the helmet?" he
was asked.
We'll, guess some of them have
hit me now and then" he admitted,
but you're always too busy to notice
it at the time. One rather large one
caught me in the back one night, l
do remember. I knew about that one
the next morning, all right"
John, the youngest of the group,
has been awarded the Scout Bronze
Cross for conspicuous bravery and
devotion to duty during the re-
peated heavy bombing attacks on
Birksuhead. He is credited with the
rescue of IL persons who were buried
beneath collapsed homes.
Scouts are assigned to all sorts
of tasks in ARP work." Stanley New
ton, 18-year- troop leader from
London, who is leader of the tour
ing group, explained. Some OF them
are messengers. some wardens. some
stretcher bearers, some fire watch
ers, some rescue workers and so on. y
Double Up on Duties.
Stanley himself showed out
standing resourcefulness and cour-
age" both as a fire watcher and as
a rescue worker during the London
raids. He could combine the two
duties because they did not overlap
when the bombs stopped falling
and no more fires were being set he
could join rescue crews.

picture, Men OF Tomorrow He is
not, however, embarking on a film
career, but when he returns to
England he hopes to continue in
the air fight against bombs, by
joining the Raj.
The port of Southampton, often
a blitz target, is represented on the
tour by Roy Davis, 18, who repre-
sents still another phase of scout
activity during wartime. He is
member of the Home Guard in his
community and has been commend
ed for outstanding work during air
raids.
Courage Necessary.
The fourth member of the quar-
tet. 17-year -old Hugh Bright, would
be recognized as a red-headed rep
resentative of Glasgow even if it
were not for his plaid kilt. His
heathery burr puts fuzz on the
Queens English that never could be
mistaken. Hugh rendered "excep-
tional and courageous service as a
stretcher bearer during the heavy
raids on the Clydeside shipyards, an
ARP task which calls for a young
man exceptionally courageous,
though Hugh wouldn't admit that.
None Of the four King Scouts-a
rank which corresponds to that of
Eagle Scouts in this country-dis-
plays anything like an inclination to
talk about his deeds during air raids.

A visit to the Soviet Embassy and
few other appearances yesterday
afternoon preceded their appearance
last night at the Sylvan Theater on
the Monument slope, where a CITY,
wide Scout rally was held in their
honor.
| Today they were to visit the White
House at Ills am, after going
earlier to the British Embassy and
the Washington Cathedral. After
luncheons-two being guests of the
Kiwanis Club at the Willard Hotel
and the others joining the Junior
Board Of Commerce at the Annapolis
Hotel--the Scouts were to lay q
wreath on the Tomb of the Un-
known Soldier and later visit the
Lincoln Memorial. They were to be

0PA 10 Raise Cei|inq
On Several Items
From 1942Crops
Henderson Soys Increases
Stem From mobility
To Get Subsidy Program
By JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Ceiling prices for frozen fruits and
vegetables of the 1912 crop and for
jams, jellies and preserves made
from the new fruit will be raised
shortly, the Office of Price Admin
istration announced last night.
The ceiling on peanuts and peanut
butter may be discarded entirely in
September, the announcement said.
A Is per cent boost in the retail
ceiling prices of canned and dried
fruits of the 1912 pack already has
been announced. Price Administra-
tor Henderson said the increases
were made because of the preferred
price treatment Congress authorized
for farm products and because of
his inability to get subsidy pro-
gram under which the Government
would absorb increased costs.
Production of steel plates, used in
many phases of the war effort, con-
tinued in June the month -by-mont
increase started last fall and, for
the second successive month, topped
a million tons, the War Production
Board announced.
June shipments of steel plate
totaled 1,05O962 net tons, as COM
pared to 1,0l2,l94 tons in May.
Greatest factor in the increase, as
pointed out by A. I. Henderson Of
the division of materials has been
the difficult problem of converting
continuous steel strip mills to plate
production.
Evidence of success in conversion
of strip mills to plate Is the June
production of 89,704 tons of plates
by plants that we're producing none
few months ago.
| Approximately IS per cent OF the
record June production OF plates
went to fill requirements OF the
Army, Navy and Maritime Commis-
sion.
WPB's bureau Of finance stated
that in June it obtained $62 120, ,464
for manufacturers engaged in war
production, as compared to slightly
more than $54 1000 900 in May. The
June financing, to aid extension OF
facilities for making war materials,
was spread among 397 companies
Financing was secured from local
banks, Federal Reserve banks, the
Army, Navy, Maritime Commission
and other public and private
agencies.
Prices charged by manufacturers,
converters and jobbers for many wo-
ven fabrics used for home draperies
automobile or furniture slip covers
and upholstery were reduced by the
OPA. Ceiling price formulae were
issued to bring these products into
line with maximum levels on manu-
facturers' sales of furniture up
holstery fabrics that have been ef-
fective since last November. The
regulation does not apply to retail
sales, which are under general price
regulations, nor to printed woven
fabrics which are subject to the
regulation for finished piece goods
