Less than half of the IS fam

Easements stood at least six in
ches deep and on the flats was
a good two feet deep.
Residents of Kraemer Sub

Homes in the affected area
were mostly without heat and
residents were predicting a pos

Bread Knife
Revived to
Slice Costs

WASHINGTON. Dec. 80 Up
- The bread knife, outmoded
in many kitchens by the bakers
m e h n C slicers, made a
comeback by cutting off a 10
per cent flour price increase at
the mill before il reaches the
housewife.
The government authorized
the price boost last night to help
offset the increase it attributes
to higher wheat prices, abnor-
NAL price situations in the flour
industry and technical milling
conditions.
But to prevent the higher
price ceilings from being reflect
ed in retail bread prices, slic-
ing of bread for home consump-
ton will be discontinued to low
err expenditures for machinery
and manpower, and similar saw
ings will be introduced in manu-
facture, packaging and distri-
button.
UNIFORM SCHEDULE
The Office of Price Admin
istration order, effective Jan. 4,
establishes uniform schedule
of flour prices throughout the
ountry to replace ceilings
which froze individual mill
prices at Sept. 28-Oct. 2 levels.
Secretary of Agriculture
Claude r. Wickard, acting as
food administrator, simultane-
ously directed elimination OF
bread slicing by bakers by Jan.
10, discontinuance of the prac-
tise of some bakers of selling
bread to dealers on consignment,
restriction of the number OF
sizes and varieties of loaves
made by any baker in a single
w eel X, and discontinuance of
twisted and cross-pan bread by
commercial bakers except for
certain religious uses.
Wickard observed that some
housewives will be inconven-
fenced" by failure to get sliced
b re d, but said he believed
"they will be glad to cut their
own bread" to prevent a price
increase and aid the war effort.
60 DAY EXCEPTION
The bread-slicing ban will not
apply during the next so days
on the so called giant loaves
weighing two pounds and more.
Moreover, some provision was
expected to be made for sales
of sliced bread to restaurants,
hotels, war plants and large in
situations.
The food administrator also
directed enrichment of all COM
mercial white bread with vita
minis and minerals. He declared
that at present "the mainten-
ance and strengthening of nutri-
ton standards are imperative in
the interest of national health
and we'll being"
Housewives who bake their
own bread or buy flour for 9TH
er purposes may expect, how
ever, to find retail prices for
the product between 40 and rs
cents more for a 1876 pound bar

and type of flour.

two watches from the home of
Mrs. Antoinette Maddox, of 7243
Hudson, Warren township.
When arrested he was sitting
in the Maddox home wooing
Mrs Maddox 18-year-old daugh-
ter Elizabeth. He was taken to
Warren Township police head
quarters where, he charges, he
was brutally beaten by Detec-
tive Anthony Winters. Winters
denies the charge.
1T STOPPED THERE
At any rate, Emple was lodg-
ed in the county Jail at 4:45 p.
m. on Sept. 81 and there he's
been ever since. He was arraign-
ed the following day before JUS
tice Frank e. Jeanette, waived
examination, was bound over to
circuit court and returned to Jail
for lack of $4,000 bond.
There the wheels of Justice
stopped grinding for Emple. As
sistant Prosecutor Howard r.
Carroll, when notified of the
case today by a Daily Monitor
Leader reporter, said he had
forgotten about the matter. ut
looks as though it's CAROLS
fault" he admitted.
Ccrroll said Winters asked for
time in hopes Emple would ad-
NIT participation in a wave of
burglaries in Warren township
last summer.
EARN CREDIT?
Carroll said that Emple's past
criminal record somewhat justi-
flies the delay, asserting "he's al
most certain to serve time and
the judge will credit the days
he's served"
Emple was once sentenced to
two years in IN Ohio Federal
Prison from Detroit on mail
theft charges. He was paroled
after serving from Sept. IS, 1941
until May FL, 1912.
Carroll claims a confession
from Emple and Winters asserts
that Emple threw two watches
into a ditch when Patrolman Al
Gaskill was bringing him to the
station.
Carroll today promised
quick arraignment. Meanwhile.
sheriff's deputies and city DO
lice were almost hopeful that
Emple will stay on for a spell.
After all, he plays a hot mouth

Payers of the victory tax get

who had criticized the emer-

as French High Commissioner
in North Africa.
Darlan, regarded by the De-
Gaullist forces as a Vichy col
laborationist prior to his capt.
tulation to American troops IN
the North African invasion, was
assassinated Christmas Eve by
a youth whose identity has not
been disclosed.
His successor, Gen. Henri
Giraud, already has representa-
tives here in the persons of a
military mission that arrived a
few hours before Darlan's as
sassination.
Two of them, Gen. M. E. Be-
thouart and j. l.. Dubreil, saw
Mr.. Roosevelt yesterday, pri-
marily to discuss the problem Of
supplying French troops in
North Africa, and as they left
the White House they told re-
porters that DeGaule and Cir
aud had the same ideas on
French unity.
Both, they said, believe Ger
many's defeat is of paramount
Importance and should be plac-
ed above all other considera-
tons.
MIR. Roosevelt said i was got
true that the DeGaulle Visit
had been delayed at the request
of William D. Leahy, the presi-
dents chief of staff and for
mer ambassador to Vichy,
France. The trip had not been
delayed, the president said, but
had been twice postponed.
Discussing his talk with the
two Giraud aides, MIR. Roosevelt
said he thought the matter Of
supplying French North African
troops was proceeding we'll, but
that it was largely a question OF
obtaining necessary shipping
space. Among the complications
he cited was the fact that the
French use a rifle of different
caliber from ours, but he said
there was always possibly OF
doing certain amount of re-
arming through American fac
tories.
