Prices:
A series Of adjustments fitting

conditions in trade and industry
and, in a number of instances, re-
ducing maximum prices to levels in
effect prior to the base period of last
March characterized Government
price action last week.
Price Cuts Ordered.
In a half-dozen cases the Office of
Price Administration took steps
either to roll back manufacturers or
producers prices to relieve the
squeeze" on distributors or others
handling the products. or to cut
prices back so as to eliminate in
f1ationary increases that were re-
fected in March price levels.
In one instance-canned fruits
and vegetables-a formula was is
sued allowing an increase of Is
to Is per cent in ceiling prices to
pass on higher costs for raw ma
terials and labor. A formula by
which wholesalers and retailers may
pass these costs along to the con-
sumner is being prepared.
In a typical instance of the roll
back of prices, the OPA reduced by
approximately IL per cent Gamers
prices for Maine sardines.
In another action cutting back
prices to an earlier level, OPA re-
duced manufacturers prices for
kraft wrapping papers and certain
kraft bag papers by approximately
Is cents per hundredweight. New
ceiling prices, established in dollars
and cents for various grades, are

'Tf the measure Is necessary,
and, apparently careful study

by the measure wholeheartedly."

Big Ten Aiming
For 100000

EVANSTON, H.. May Is (UP).
Big Ten athletic directors and
faculty representatives met today
for consideration Of a proposal TO
back up assistance given the ath-
letic program of service teams
with financial contributions for the
nations war chest.
In an Unprecedented move. the
Big Ten junked its 1912 football
schedules last March and drew up
new playing charts to include II
contests with service teams from
the Great Lakes naval training
station. the Iowa city naval cadet
center, Camp Grant and Fort
Knox.
After the conference dropped
its eligibility barriers and eight
game schedule limitation Ia per-
init the service contests. its lead
was followed by other major uni
versities.
BY splitting its net receipts on
the service games $3.50, Big Ten
teams expect 10 pour approx
mately 100000 into army and
navy relief funds. A new proposal
calls for each league member TO
make a direct donation from its
football gate" 10 some war
agency. Ways OF making the con-
tributions and their amounts have
been discussed by some schools,
but decision was withheld TO
permit adoption of uniform plan.

Indians Report
Success With
Twilight Ball
Plan TO Play Army
Navy Relief Game
Starting at 4:3o P. M.
BY LEO MACDONELL

While it is admittedly a little
early 10 draw conclusions. the
Cleveland club is pleased with its
experiment with twilight ball, &C
cording to Roger Peckinpaugh,
general manager of the Indians.
Even though the weather has
been bad and we had not had a
fair test, In my opinion twilight
baseball IL very good" Peckin-
paugh says. I'VE will start the
army-navy relief game at 4:S0
because we think we can get n
better crowd at that time"
The army-navy relief game in
Cleveland will be played the last
of this month. The Tigers and
Browns will play for the fund in
June. Previous twilight games in
Cleveland have been started at A
O'Clock.
TIGER PROBLEM
Peckinpaugh's reaction is In
Iteresting TO Jack Zeller and other
Tiger officials since twilight ball
is likely 10 be tried out in Detroit
soon. The main problem, as Zeller
sees il, is the matter of a starting
time. The Tiger general manager
is anxious TO decide on a starting
time that will afford the best ac-
comodation for the working men
OF the city, for whom twilight ball
is 10 be played.
Toward that end the Tiger Off
Gals will make an informal check
on attendance for the doubleheader
here tomorrow between the Tigers
and Yankees, seeking TO ascertain
how many spectators come 10 the
park for the second game. While
the doubleheader is no twilight
game, such a check might be an
indication of what the fans want
in the way Of a starting time for
twilight ball, if they want that
kind of ball at all.
4 TO 6 STARTING TIME
AZ most defense plants in De-
troit there is a shift at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon. which would per-
NIT workers TO take in twilight
ball at Briggs Stadium, with
games 10 start at some time from
4 TO 6 o'clock. depending on what
the fans want. according 10 Zeller
