THE PRICE CEILINGS

Considerable comment has beer noted in Juneau
recently concerning whether or not Price Admins
traitor Leon Hendersons practically universal price
ceiling order which was effective May 10 applied to
Alaska and what products.
According to our available information, the order
does apply to Alaska it applies to practically
cry nook and Granny of the United States. The
panon order which calls for ceilings rents con-
Germs only 3O2 defense areas
The ceiling on prices means that beginning May
49, all retail prices with few exceptions must not
exceed the highest levels which each individual seller
charged during last March Similarly; manufacturer
and wholesale prices halted to March levels All
retailers wholesalers and manufacturers are charged
with the responsibility of preserving their records for
March for maximum pricing purposes
Among the controlled commodities are almost ev-
cry processed food-bread cake and bakery products;
sugar fluid milk and cream sold at retail; ice
canned meats, soups canned fruits and vegetables;
canned fish and other canned seafoods cereals lard
and shortening; coffee tea. cocoa salt and spices
Also covered in the order all clothing, shoes
dry goods and yard goods soap in all forms, every
kind of common fuel pipes cigars, cigarets and pre-
pared smoking and chewing tobacco drugs, toetries
and sundries; furniture and furnishings; appliances

ricultural supplies
Items which excepted from the order include
fresh meats and vegetables eggs and poultry all milk

similar establishments where commodities are pre-
pared and sold for consumption on the premises, are
excepted. Farmers whose commodities are grown and
processed on his farm if the total of such sales do
not exceed SIS month"; excepted.
Apparently the enforcing of this order will not
come in Alaska until the newly appointed Admins
traitor Mrs. Mildred Hermann has time to set up
office Deadlines on other orders of the Office of
Price Administration have been extended for Alaska
in other instances

linguistic talent of the legislators
TWenty-seven House members adj
dressed the Peruvian chief in Span
ish when they filed by to shake
his hand. One member, who proved
himself especially adept was Rep
resentative Richard M. Kleberg OF
Texas.
Prado also showed himself an
able linguist. In addition to speak
ing English fluently, he replied cas-
lily in French when Representative
Anne j. Forand of Rhode Island
addressed him in that tongue.
Later, the Peruvian grinningly

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER

Gastineau Channels Voluntary Pledge Campaign.
drive to promote the regular purchasing of War
Bonds continues this week 1t is a call for every
person in this area to buy his share
The goal set by the Treasury Department is
$l0O00O00OO a month. an amount equal to one-tenth
Of the combined income of all Americans. Thus, the
average American is asked to invest one out of ey-
cry ten dollars he makes in War Bonds.
But that is only the average. The War Savings
Staff in Alaska knows that not all Alaskans af-
ford to invest that much. 1t knows also that many
can afford to invest twice that amount
Everyone knows why in this war. And
costs money.
. 37-millimeter anti-arcraft gun that protects
those
An nterceptor plane, the type that could have
been used to advantage Bataan, the kind we
didn't have enough of, costs about $4,000
medium -sized tank, of thousands needed
before the Axis be smashed. costs $4,000
War costs money Right we are spending
approximately $4000000000 month on war This
figure is growing daily the war effort expands The
Treasury Department is backing this campaign in the
hope that the American people have faith enough
in their government to invest one-fourth of this
amount monthly-volntarily
We have had to sacrifice very little so far in this
struggle But if that struggle is lost we will sacrifice
all-the democratic way of life. We believe that
Americans would rather lose their lives than that
Those in uniform proving that now
Buy all of the bonds you can afford That's all
the government is asking of us

The long considered consolidation
OF the National Youth Administra-
ton and the CCC is about to take
place.
Federal Security Administrator
Paul McNutt has approved the plan
and an executive order has been
prepared for the Presidents sig
nature. Roosevelt has been in fay
or OF the consolidation for a long
time.
Likely head of the combined ag-
ency is Aubrey Williams, able and
popular NYA Director
A veteran Administrationite and
one of the most efficient executives
in Washington, Williams has pow
erful backing for me job on Capt.
tol Hill from both Republicans and
Democrats. One Of the remarka BILE
things about Williams is that al
though he is a staunrh New Deal
er, some of his strongest boosters
are oldline Republicans.
Note:-In the past II months
NYA has trained more than 100000
skilled workers for war plants. Au-
thorities rate NYA as the most eff
fectiye industrial training agency

NATIONAL ISSUES: In dem

most dangerous For this reason

These advisers contend that for

him TO make the claim that Muir

On the other hand, by meeting
Lewis head on, it is argued, Murray
would force Lewis to carry the fight
to the UNIV rank and file, to whom
the miner chief would have to JUS

on Roosevelt, and his recent at
tempts to raid other unions.
What Murray will do is his Sc
