Jewe|y Industry
Under Controls
Narrower Definition
Of Precious Stones
Extends Curbs
By the Associated Prass.


Virtually the entire jewelry In
dustry was brought under provisions
Of the Governments general maxi
mum price regulation today, as a
result of new definition OF pre-
cious stones" issued by the once Of
Price Administration.
The definition. announced in the
form Of an amendment to the gen.
eral price ceiling which fixes prices
at highest March levels, narrows the
scope OF precious stones exempted
TO uncut, rare and more expensive
stones or mountings containing
these stones.
Oncials said that the amendment
would cover jewelry sold by jewellers
and department stores along active
price lines ranging to about $500.
The jewelry industry annually
sells about $150.000 900 worth Of
precious stones In mounting at
wholesale. OPA estimated. "Obvi-
ously, precious stones when mined
cannot have 4 fixed or inflexible
price emulation" OPA said, but it
feasible to put them under price
control after they have been cut.
As such they have in reality become
commercial commodities.
The rarer species in which price
appraisal Is dependent largely upon
expert opinion are exempted such
articles as antiques, coins and
stamps. etchings and other objects
of art"
Precious stones" for price-control
purposes, are defined rs any ruby,
sapphire. emerald, natural pearl or
any diamond weighing more than
90 carat, or any semiprecious stone
after sale by the cutter. when the
cutter has received more than 500
for the sale of the stone
Synthetic stones and cultured
pearls shall not be deemed precious
stones" the definition said. If two
or more diamonds with an aggregate
weight of ] so carats are set In one
mounting the diamonds shall be
deemed precious"
When precious stones, as thus de-
fined, are set in mounting, the
entire unit of which the stone be-
comes a part-such as a ring-is ex-
empt from provisions of the overall
price ceiling, OPA added.

Subsidy Will Help
Keep Farm Prices
Within Bounds
Commodity Credit Gets
Limited Authority to
Aid Henderson
2, the Associated Press.

p the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt, 1t was learned
authoritatively yesterday, has given
the Commodity Credit Corp. limited
authority to subsidize certain farm
products in order to keep their cost
to consumer down to the price
ceiling fixed by Leon Henderson
The authority was contained, ON
cials said, in letter drafted by
agreement between Henderson and
Secretary Of Agriculture Claude r.
Wickard, and Is intended as 4 stop
gap pending congressional decisions
on the general question Of subsi-
dizing farm products.
An Agriculture Department spokes-
man, however, indicated that the
new authority has not been put into
operation yet. pending conferences
with congressional leaders and 9TH
er mspecified preliminary steps.
Since Commodity Credit Corp.
has only $500 900 600 available, no
broad program of subsidies can be
undertaken until Congress votes
much larger sums for the purpose
on1cials explained.
For this reason, they said, initial
subsidies probably win be confined
to certain fruits and vegetable crops
which do not require 50 much
money.
The subsidy. 1t was understood,
would be accomplished by the ex-
pedient OF the Commodity Credit
Corp. buying farm products at
parity or higher prices, and resell
ing them at lower prices consistent
with Henderson's price ceiling. This
would involve q loss to the Govern
ment but, oficials said. would seem
to satisfy both the farmers who
want their prices maintained at
parity or higher. and also the Once
Of Price Administration. which is
trying to hold down the cost Of
living.

Working Collie Earns

Show LaureIs

In Scotland; CopitoI
Dogs Get Honors
BY r. r. TAYNTON,

Special Correspondent of The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, June 6.-Best
dog at the 29th annual show of the
Huntingdon Valley Kennel Club to-
day was Mrs. Florence B. Ilch's
imported collie. ch. Braegate Model
of Bellhaven. One of the best collies
seen in a long time, the winner is
a real working dog that was taken
right out of the fields Of Scotland,
where he was doing a splendid job
of sheepherding.
Best American-bred dog in the
show was the Lowmont-owned
poodle, contender from the non
sporting group, and the dog which
gave the collie the closest competi-
ton. Best sporting dog was the
pointer, ch. HE On Coronation,
owned by the Janard Kennels.
Lund's Jester Is Best Hound.
Best hound was Mable L. Cregg's
Lund's Jester, best terrier was ch.
Sierano's Sophisticated Lady, owned
by the Sierano Kennels, and the
best toy, for the second time in
two weeks, was the Maltese terrier
Sky Top White Flash, owned by
Hannah Horner
The best score by a Washington
entry was the second in the nom
sporting group by w. r. Lyons
bulldog, Lonarch TUCSON. Another
nice win for Washingtonian was
winners bitch in Dachshunds made
by DR.. Louis Comets Janet of
Tenroc, which got her the last
points to a title
In boxers, third in the open dog
class was Frank Adams Veteran of
Mazelaine and third in the open

Ersutz Balls Save Tennis From Being War Casualty
Rubber Lively Thon Others ond Are Dure

up. Several new type balls have
been played by Bobby Riggs for
as many as $50 games, at which
time the balls were still playable.
For a few games, the reclaim
balls show a little less life in the
bounce compared with balls made
from new rubber. This Is due to
the fact that q thicker ball wall
has been made necessary because
chemical reprocessing weakens
the rubber, and also to the fact
that, because the rubber is weak
er, the air pressure in the ball
must be diminished.
But, the balls warm up"
quickly. Friction from bounding
of racquets and court heats the
air within the ball. The air ex-
pands; then, because Of the
thicker ball wall, the reclaims
become slightly more lively than
new balls.

CHICAGO, June 6.-"Ersatz"
tennis balls in quantity lots are
being turned out to keep the
game going during the war.
Governmental rubber rationing
already has taken care of the
supply of balls made of new
crude rubber. There will be no
more manufactured for the du-
ration.
Collection and salvaging of
rubber, the important Ingredient,
is the first phase of "ersatz" ten
mis- ball production, according to
a sports goods manufacturer.
Salvaging rubber for use in
wartime tennis balls, this manu-
facturer pointed out, is no diff
ferent from the process used in
salvaging rubber for retreading
automobile tires, since the ma
terial involved In both instances
Is the same.

the reclaimed rubber cement, as
well as the center, does not have
the residence of the virgin rub
Der, and in some cases tends to
crack and separate sooner.
There really isn't enough diff
ference, he asserted, to be notice.
able to the average player. Ma
chine testing and actual play
over a two or three-month Pc
riod have indicated the tennis
balls made Of used rubber are
satisfactory in most cases, ac-
cording to the manufacturer.
The service period of a tennis
ball depends considerably on sew
eral factors-caliber of the play
er, type of surface on the court
used, whether used in singles or
in doubles, and whether played
by men or women, or in mixed
groups.
Last years tennis ball lasted
anywhere from five sets Of play
