In the battle against initiation,
from now until the war is over, the
cost of all but a comparatively few
articles cannot rise higher than
the highest price for which they
were sold in March. This price
ceiling applies to the manufacturer
the wholesaler and the retailer.
But most Of us are primarily in
terasted in the retailer the cor
ner grocer, the butcher, the bank
er and the neighborhood druggist.
There are a number of excep-
tions seasonable food much as
fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and
game which do not come under
the ceiling because it is virtually
impossible to figure out previous
maximum prices in view of their
wide variety and the different
times they come on the market.
Excluded also are foods like but
ter, cheese, canned milk, meats,
poultry and eggs - the prices of
which, under the Price Control
Act, cannot be frozen until they
reach higher levels. This will en-
able the farmer to get prices for
his products equivalent to the
prices he pays for manufactured
goods which come under the price
roof.

fix his prices at the highest levels
he charged in March. Consequent

The WPB has frozen the bulk of

other military purposes.
Incidentally, all the wood requir-

It Can't Be Done in a Hurry.
But to get back to the matter of
civilian morale: In this country
as in England there is rising a de-
mand for a swift, if not an imme-
diate assault on the Axis powers
an attack in force on Germany's
Western front or something equal
ly dramatic and decisive. In all
probability that is bound to come
about, but it cannot be undertaken
until it can be done with certainty
of success. The armchair strate-
gists may visualize such a move,
but the men who must direct it
have to consider such problems as
transportation and supply. 1t
would take, probably, more allied
ships than are now on all the
oceans to provide for million or
two million men - to get them to
their destination, in the first place,
and secure for them food, ammuni-
ton and war machines in an un-
broken stream.
Undoubtedly the enemy realizes
the inevitability Of such an attack
and in connection with their prepa-
rations for world conquest, which
they were ten intensive years in
completing, have made their re-
sistance plans. We have to as
sumo that our officers whose life
business it has been to deal with
such problems are developing our
own program of aggression.
Meanwhile, we are launching
something like two ships a day,
are turning out planes and tanks
and guns in a volume so vast that
the Axis spokesmen are calling our
actual production a myth and an
impossibility.
1t is hard to wait. of course, but
we have a job to do, and it can't
be done in a hurry.
Hitler has been turned back
from what he thought was walk
over in Russia, and the part that
the war things we sent to Muscovy
played in the Russian campaign
has not yet been told. Our people
will have to be patient while they

But there is nothing half-hearted
about her personal dislike of can
G1idate Colonel E. Brooke Lee of
Silver Spring who opposed her
nomination more than a year ago.
Fact is, had Lee not been her
leading opponent, friends of Mrs.
Byron intimate that she might not
have run at all.
In fact, they say that when the
volatile Katharine got wind that
Brooke Lee would try for the
nomination, she scrapped all ten
tative plans for retirement, More
recently, however, she is quoted
as being less enthusiastic about
her precipitate decision. For one
thing in order to beat Lee in open
primary, she will have the tough
job of building up an organization
to offset the entrenched powers
who helped elect her but who COM
mitted themselves to one term and
one only.
Katharine rather hoped that by
beating Lee to the draw she would
either forestall his decision to be-
come a candidate or cause a split
among many worthwhile leaders
who began warming up to Lee sew
eral months ago. She certainly
guessed wrong on the first count;
and a county canvass Of the situa-
ton would indicate that she also
guessed wrong on the second.
There is no question shat LaBelle
Byron enjoys the high personal re-
gard of such men as Attorney
General Bill Walsh and Publisher
John Mcmillan Of Cumberland,
Democratic National Committee
man William Preston Lane of Ha
gerstown; Judge Alton Bennett of

er Thomas Hampton Of Montgom-

MRS. BYRON RECONSIDERS
SO Mrs. Byron is sensibly taking
stock of realities by consulting
with friendly advisers most of
whom smilingly admonish: "a

There is none on Capitol Hill

the able Speaker Of the House Sam
Rayburn. Though a Texan, Ray

Gently cautioned Katharine that
the odds seemed against her, and
that she would do well to give very
mature judgment before actually
filing as a candidate.
1t is known too that out in West

John McMullen who helped secure
her nomination in 1941, now is
suggesting that Mrs. Byron re-
consider her precipitated step.
OF course, it would not be easy
for her to back away unless

tense job. In both civilian defense
and rationing there are two or
shree such jobs and it is possible
that Mrs. Byron may be invited

TASTE IN WATER LESS UNPLEASANT
Health Officer Dr. Godfrey Predicts Gradual Im=
 prOVement

The bad taste noticeable in city water since the late fall is grad ually disappearirg and soon may be entirely gone, Dr. Edward J. God frey, city health ojcer, said today.
 At first the unpleasant taste was attributed to the semi-annual turn over of the water in the reservoirs which sends algea and other mat ter to the surface. When it per sisted, however, Dr.. Godfrey said he believed it was caused by the lew water levels prevailing in the reser- voirs at Morris.
 "The water taste is now much bet ter" Dr. Godfrey said today. and the condition resulting ill the bad taste may soon be entirely elininat- cd. Despite the taste, the water has been entirely safe to drink and there need be no worries on that score"
 Only week or two ago, city au- thorities were fearful that the un- pleasant taste would continue irde- fintely They feared that the only remedy would come from spring rains or from completion of f,the new pipe line and dam, construction pro- jects which are now underway.
 Taste of the city water at first led to many complaints and there were fears ill some quarters until Dr. God frey gave reassurance to the public
