Milk products, such as cheese,

Henderson stressed that to lower
the quality of goods in order to
"chisel" on a definite price level
would be a violation of the price
ceilings.
DR.. j. X. Galbraith, deputy OPA
administrator, said a new store
would have to base its prices on
those charged by its nearest
Ineighbor in the same competitive
class. He said there was no in
tention of preventing new bust
nesses from starting.
The average buyer will be pro-
tected by a regulation providing
that stores post conspicuously the
ceiling prices of selected list of
so-called "cost-of-living" commodi-
ties which they may handle.
AUTOMATIC LICENSES
The list contains about ITO
commodities. with many derivates.
A store cannot display any article
unless its ceiling price is plainly
marked. If the selling price is
less, the price tag will have two
quotations-the ceiling and selling
price.
In the case of unlisted COM
modities, the regulations provide
that a buyer may ask and obtain
the storekeeper's ceiling price on
articles in question. -.
That regulation will prevail
until July /. After that date,
storekeepers will be required to
have a written statement on the

or services which he delivered or
supplied in March.
When the regulations go into
effect on May 10, all retail, whole
sale and manufacturing establish
ments are automatically licensed

Licensees who fail to heed warn

their licenses for periods as long

"A big diamond Is recognized i'm
mediately, but q 1h-carat diamond
Is still a diamond even though the
stone is harder to see!"
That Is how DR.. Alfred Bilmanis,
Latvian Minister to the United
States, explains his country between
the anvil and the hammer on the
shores Of the Baltic Sea. Before the
war. Latvia had an income Of 2,000,-
100000 lats or $400, 600, 900. It was
the second country in the production
Of fax, NTH in butter and seventh
In timber.
Fisherfolk, too, they exported
eprats, similar to sardines. Salmon
they smoke over pine cones. The
Let's also boast the largest dam in
Europe and the smallest candid
cameras. They ingeniously use hard
wood in making certain parts OF
planes, such as the fusilage. Latvia
has two opera houses, an Academy
of Arts, and a ballet. There is no
telling what the Nazis have done to
them.
DR.. Bilmanis Is the free voice OF
his oppressed people and he knows
them like a book. "Give us interna-
tional law and protection and equal
ity Of opportunity and We will pro-
gress and be co-partners In COM
mon denocracy!" is their cry.
Allies Stronger Spiritually.
To the Minister, the Atlantic
Charter is the new addition to the
Magma Carta The document must
be guaranteed by armed might in
the postwar years and be directed
by humanitarian leaders such as
President Roosevelt and Prime Min
tster Churchill, he believes.
In the meantime the fate OF occi-
dental culture Is the trust OF Amer
lea, culture to the Minister being
based on religion, family and a sense
Of humor. The United States pro-
duces the best tanks and planes ana
along with the other Allied Nations
Is spiritually stronger than the
Reich which further insures victory.
The Prussian culprit must be
brought to trial A German alone
may be cultivated, but in pack
Germans become aggressive. Goethe
and Schiller were not products Of
the Deutsch nation, but Of the
Deutsch states. The present sick
ness spread throughout Europe goes
deeper than Hitlerism. He ex-
plains that on / square mile In
Belgium there was reported popu-
lation Of 730. The Minister claims
that to a lesser extent the situation
Is universal on the continent. Hit
lers, exploiters Of human misery
beat the drums and hark their cure
ais, rousing the Gothic passions tc
battle-pitch. The answer to DR.
Bilmanis Is emigration to Africa
the Americas and Australia.
The Latvian problem Is interna-
tonal. Freedom Of the Baltic
means not only freedom for Latvia
Lithuania and Estonia, but also foa
Poland, Finland and Sweden.

and it was necessary to reload,
which I did from the prone posi-
ton.
We looked across shallow
creek and saw japanese troops
running to the hills and decided
then it was time to execute q
maneuver generally known as
getting the hell out of there"
Then one lone Marine sentry
stopped us, told us that as far as
he knew he and his sergeant
were the only two Marines in
that vicinity. We crossed the
creek on a rickety bridge to in
vestigate a shack on the other
shore. It had been the home of
a group of Japanese artillery Of
ficers manning a 70-mm. battery
on the shore.
WHY JAPS DIDN'T FIRE
Their guns were stilled on the
beach, but in good working con-
dition. Sights had been affixed
and fused shells were nearby in
ammunition cases. All that was
necessary was to start shooting.
We wondered why they hadn't
used the pieces on our advancing
troops but when we looked di-
rectly overhead and saw how
shells from our destroyers had
moved down palm trees in that
entire area, we had the answer.
A jeep puffed by and we
hooked one of the 20 mm.'s onto
the bumper and hauled it back
toward our command post. At
the no w-captured Henderson
airport, we stopped and ex-
amined the field which has
proved to be one of our most i'm
portant possessions in the South
Pacific.
Then anti-aircraft started out
in the bay, where unloading OPP
erations were continuing. We
raced through the palms to the
shore to see the excitement. In
the distance we could see Japa-
nese torpedo planes Swimming
the water. Smoke rolled upward
from at least q half dozen burn
ing planes streaking to their
doom.
It was obvious that the attack
wasn't getting anywhere, al
though we saw one Of our ships
burning furiously from q hit.
Later we found that II was an
empty transport set afire when
a torpedo bomber, out Of con-
troll. crashed into 1t amidships.
At night, as we dragged into our
camp, footsore, weary and COW
cred with mosquito bites, the
rain started. A rain that we
