STRAWB'RY BLONDE DRAWS CROWDS ar TWENTIETH CENTURY

 land Star in Film

From the way folks have been Hooking to the 20th Century to see The Strawberry Blonde" which opened there yesterday, she's lass with plenty of appeal for all. The new film comedy starring James Cagney, Olivia deHaxilland, Rita Hayworth (the lady with the straw berry tresses), is a gay melange of barber shop quartettes. peg topped trousers, pompadours, gay blades, hustled lassies and such nostalgia airs as After the Ball Was Over" and "The Band Played On" It's a delightful bow to the moustached cup era.
 Miss Hayworth, who was bor- rowed by Warmers from Columbia to become an oomph girl opposite CagneS, was clapped into gay nine ties garb.
 In one of her first scenes in the picture, she walks by the town barber shop while the local sports chant, Two, four, six, eight, whom do we appreciate" "Oh you kid, and Coin my way, baby?" That's the kind of red-hot sports the fellers were in 1890.

FOOD PRICES TO DROP GRADUALLY
 SAYS O.p.A. HEAD

Alaska housewives who are look ing for an immediate decrease in their food bill, as a result of the freeze order on foods, are apt to be disappointed, according to Mill dred R. Hermann, Alaska Director of the Office of Price Administra- tion, in a statement issued today.
 While the freeze order generally throughout the United States holds food prices at the highest level between September 28 and Octo- Der 9, in Alaska these prices are subject to computation un CT Maximum Price Regulation 194, which permits the retailer his re- placement costs, his transportation charges to his place of business, and his maximum mark-up of the month preceding Pearl Harbor. Thus, while prices at wholesale are frozen to their highest point in the
The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-10-30

period as above stated, in Alaska the retailer may add his maximum mark-up to that frozen price to get his selling price.
 Retail Squeeze"
 This will completely eliminate the retail squeeze felt generally throughout the country" Mrs. Her mann stated. She made it clear, however, that the price levels used in the present temporary ceilings are not necessarily those which will be carried into the permanent regulation now being drafted to cover the commodities listed in the freeze order.
 None of us are satisfied with the prices generally prevailing dur ing the freeze period" Mrs. Her mann stated. Prices of uncon- trolled commodities have been run ming wild these last few weeks. This was due to many retailers at tempts to recoup reduced profits on controlled items by tipping their mark-ups on uncontrolled ones.
 Price Ceiling
 "We now have these prices con- trolled,' she added. Fully 90 per- cent of all food commodities are now under price ceilings. We shall now look into the matter of set ting some of the previously un- controlled commodity prices back to more normal relationship to the rest of the food field. When that is accomplished we may ex- pect to find a fuller market basket for the same dollar than we were able to have a few weeks ago.
