0.P. Sets 60-Day Ceiling
On Newsprint Price

BY the Associated Press.
The Office of Price Administration
today imposed a temporary 60-day
price ceiling On newsprint at the
present level of $50 a ton.
The ceiling, in effect, cancels an
announced increase to $50 recently
announced by Canadian producers
who furnish more than IS per cent
of this country's supply, because
o. P. A. ceiling orders forbid Amerf-
can buyers to pay more than the
prescribed maximum, as well as fix
the price at which United States
manufacturers may sell.
The o. P. A. and the Canadian
government, on this country's in
itiative, have been attempting for
several weeks to reach a joint price
ceiling, which would be the first
United States-Canadian combined
price action.
The temporary price ceiling does
not mean failure of this effort, 1t
was pointed out, because negotia-
tionS with Canada will continue on
the basis of cost studies under way
in both countries. The new ceiling
is effective April l and on or before
its May 80 expiration date. It is
expected a permanent price regula-
ton will be issued.

LONDON, March 26.-Thirty
German dive bombers were de-
stroyed or damaged yesterday in
one Of the greatest air battles
ever fought over embattled
Malta, the Air Ministry reported
tonight.
The r. A. F's Spitfires and Hur-
ricanes worked such havoc among
the attacking force. the ministry
said, that at least half of the raid
ers were not able to return home
or else landed riddled by machine
gun bullets and the splinters of can
non shells.
Fighters Protecting Bombers.
The German bombers roared down
on the Mediterranean naval base
from Sicily, a ship lying of the
coast being their initial target.
Banked above them were the usual
layers of protecting fighter planes.
The r. A. F. had been waiting
for chance to attack and leaped
at the opportunity, the ministry
said. The British fighters tore into
the bombers first to disrupt their
formations then attacked the Mes
serschmitts.
The determined results of the
furious fight were destruction of
three German planes, probable de-
struction of six and serious damage
to eight, the ministry reported, ex-
planning its total of 80 by adding
that at least 13 dive bombers crashed
into the sea.
Valletta Repulses Attack.
But our pilots were so outnum-
bered and so busily engaged in COM

Later in the afternoon, the min

again tried to blast shipping in the
harbor of Valletta. But this time
anti-aircraft fire was so intense
that all of the planes were forced
either to turn book or to jettison
their bombs harmlessly over the sea.
