Improper Sale Of Coffee
Investigated in Maryland
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Nov. GA State
wide investigation of coffee selling
practices was under way in Mary
land today, designed to protect con-
sumers from having to buy other
commodities to obtain the breakfast
beverage bean.
State headquarters Of the Office of
Price Administration said the prac-
tice of requiring consumers to buy
other commodities in order to get
coffee was in effect method of in
creasing the price of coffee, and
therefore a violation of OPA regu-
lations.
State Enforcement Officer Corne-
Illus P. Munday said inquiries had
uncovered one case in which a
grocer was registering all his GUS
toners under private rationing
setup. The grocer, Mr. Mundy said
required customers to sign blanks
agreeing to purchase at least hall
their food requirements from him
in return for which he would sell
them scarce commodities, such as
coffee and meat.
Mr.. Mundy said the grocer in
question had been called before the
State OPA authorities and agreed to
halt the practice. He said that where
investigation disclosed such prac-
tices warnings would be sent out to
retailers before institution of court
proceedings.

ing the prescribed month.

Higgins 10 Build
1900 Planes in
200 Million Deal
Plans Six-Engined
Cargo Craft Bigger
Than Martin Mars
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Andrew Jackson Higgins an
nounced this afternoon he had
closed negotiations with the
Government to build 1900 cargo
planes, a large number of en-
gines of a new type, accessories
for aircraft and to develop new
wood alloys" All of the projects
will cost in excess of 5000, ,000, 900.
At the same time Mr.. Higgins said
he would build on his own accord
huge new cargo plane which will
be able to carry load nearly three
times as great as the Glenn Martin
Mars. This six-engine plane will
be built of a new type of plywood.
It's loaded weight will be 100000
pounds, while its normal carrying
capacity was estimated at 100 tons.
Mr.. Higgins said he had received
a letter of intent from the Army
calling for expenditure of about $30,-
100000 to /convert his unfinished
shipyard near New Orleans for pro-
duction of airplanes and plane
accessories.
Contract Signed With Army.
He said he also received letter
of intent to build 1900 planes of
nodded wood. This plane will be
of type similar to the Curtis Com
mando. This project alone. Mr.. Hig-
gins said, will cost about $50, 900 900.
A definite contract has been
signed. Mr.. Higgins said, with the
Army's Services of Supply to build
a new type of engine, which he
developed in cooperation with an
inventor. Without going into de-
tails of the engine design, Mr.. Hlg-
gins said it would use much less
gasoline than any now in service.
The first order calls for marine en-
gines, although Mr.. Higgins said the
design was very flexible and could
be used for other purposes with
slight alterations.
The plane accessories which MI.
Higgins will make at his new plant
were described by him as ''the cork
in the bottleneck of plane construc-
ton" He said it included many
items. He attributed to war Pro-
duction Chief Donald M. Nelson the
idea that he be given approval to
build plane parts and equipment
which were slow in coming off the
production lines of other factories.

u. ). Rules Salaries
In Hollywood Can
Exceed Limit Till '43
Treasury Says Action
Has No Effect After
End of Present Yeur
BY the Associated Press.

pS liit ASSOCldtSu FIeSS.
The Treasury ruled, in effect,
today that Hollywood's big sala-
ries may continue to the end of
1912 without regard to the $685.
000-a-year limit.
The motion picture salary situa-
ton was not mentioned specifically
in the ruling, but it followed pro-
tests from Hollywood against pre-
vious decree interpreted there as
meaning that no one could be paid
more wages in 1912 than he re-
ceived in 1941, or more than $25 900
net. which ever is the larger sum.
There are many in Hollywood who
already have netted at least SIS 900
so far this year and one point raised
was whether they could be forced to
fulfill their contracts at no added
compensation.
Specifically, the Treasury said to-
day that 1912 salaries in excess OF
l94l salaries are permissible when
such 1912 salaries are required by
bona fide contract promulgated be-
fore October. 1912.
The Treasury emphasized that the
new ruling relates solely to 1912
salaries and has no effect on appll-
cation of the $4,000 limitation for
1943. 1t said employers and en-
ployes should arrange their con-
tractual relationships for 1943 so as
to comply with the salary limita-
tions.
HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 6 lP.-The
film industry, which didn't coin the
word colossal, but made it famous,
could use the term today to describe
its state of befuddlement as it
awaited clarification of the new
age-ceiling order, which kept
scores of highly-paid movie en-
ployes from receiving their weekly
paychecks
The seven major studios tied up
the salaries of their top p-bracketed
actors, producers, writers and direc-
tors as batteries of lawyers studied
the Government decree, which, as
it is interpreted here, bars any one
from receiving more wages than he
did in l941, or more than S25 900
net. whichever is the larger sum.
There are scores-perhaps hun
dreds-in the studios who already
have netted at least S25 600 so far
this year, and one point adding to
the puzzlement of the industry is
whether they can be forced to fulfill
their contracts at no added COM
pensation.
