If War Is Long, OIeory Warns

Paul M. O.Leary, plain-spoken
doctor Of philosophy who runs
rationing for Leon Henderson,
warned yesterday that Americans
were in for "a lot more rationing
If the war lasts couple OF years
longer"
The Office of Price Administra-

be considered a luxury or because
1t contained caffeine.
We're not making semi -moralistic

Mr.. OLeary, who works in shirt

three blocks from Mr.. Henderson's
headquarters, thinks he has one
problem licked. That's the prob
lem Of having to do "f1rehouse job
of rationing," as he calls it, on some
commodity which may suddenly
prove scarce.
Mr.. OLeary is a specialist at such
rush-order rationing. OPA did a

Thus did Capt. B. c. Del Missier,

bomber, give his reaction to his first
engagement with the German Air
Force in the area where the Allies
now are on the offensive.
Here is his story of the fight with
Jerry:
Our mission is to blast several

the targets, spread out and drop
everything we have, and speed back
into formation.
Suddenly three ME-109s pop out

Long stretches of the once hum

blown up by the bombers and sew

licking at warehouses and other
buildings as the American planes

Suit Against A. P.
Action Causing Grove
Concern to Bockers of
War Effort, He Writes
By the Associated Press.


Representative Cole, Republican
Of New York wrote Attorney Gen
eral Biddle today that the Govern
ment's antitrust action against the
Associated Press had caused "a great
deal of grave concern to those who
are most serious about the prosecu-
ton Of this war"
Mr.. Coles letter, which he made
public, follows:
'The recent announcement that
your department has undertaken
prosecution of the Associated Press
for violation Of the antitrust law
has caused great deal of grave
concern to those who are most seri-
GUS about the prosecution Of this
war.
II have no desire to discuss the
merits Of the controversy between
the Government and the Associated
Press, but do very seriously question
the policy Of inaugurating this pro-
ceeding at time when it is so es-
sential that there be full cooper
alton from all phases of our eco
nomic system.
This policy is especially question:
able in view of the act recently
passed suspending the operation of
the statute of limitations in prosecu-
tions of this sort. Certainly the
Governments position would not be
jeopardized by suspension of this
proceeding, which if done will re-
lease for the more effective prosecu-
tion of the war those minds and
energies which are inevitably cur
tailed by the litigation.
"Inferentially, feel it can safely
be said that when the Congress
passed the act suspending the
statute of limitations it was in
tended that these prosecutions
would actually be held in allegiance.
I cannot urge upon you too strongly
that your department view this
case from the standpoint of its effect
on the war and the Nation gen.
orally, rather than the particulars
of the case itself"

Mr.. Henderson hotly denied the
ceiling was fixed until the price
of potatoes reached a national aver
age of parity.
There has been no deviation
from the law" Mr.. Henderson de-
clared.
Senator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa, contended that Congress had
defined parity without including
benefit payments in its factors.
DO you know any law on the
statute books at this time that directs
the consideration of the element
OF benefit payments in computing
parity?" Senator Gillette demanded
Mr.. Henderson did not reply di-
rectly, pointing out, instead that
the President had laid down such
a policy in his message to Congress
and that he CMr. Henderson, had
outlined similar policy in ap-
pearances before congressional
committees.
Senator Gillette said he knew
that to be true, but insisted Con-
