 Ample Cause for 0pA
 Iiousetleaning Runlor

WASHINGTON, June 16. - If and when that rumored big shake up in the Office of Price Admin istration comes, one of the most potent contributing factors un- doubtedly will be the black market scandals in potatoes.
 It's true that the whole price control and rationing programs are in a worse muddle than they ever have been, but the spud shortage and attendant black market sales were dumped right on the doorstep of Congress and official Washing ton.
 Already l2 District of Columbia grocers have been arrested and placed under bond, charged with violating ceiling prices on pota- toes and inferentially buying their potatoes in the black market. Among these are some of the most reputable grocers in the district, and investigators estimate that they have enough additional com plaints on hand to bring the total to around 30.
 In sections of Alabama and Flo rida, the War Food Administration has taken over all shipments of spuds. requiring shippers to obtain permits before they can dispose of their product That's the most drastic action yet taken and may be an indication of what is ahead in all scarce basic food products.

The Connecticut Plan, which Is

fundamental principles as the

I'VE are going to keep on putting

old jobs-merely to keep men busy"
Men returning from the armed

in the workaday world through en-
ployment counsel, APTITUDE tests,
psychological and psychiatric screen
ing and through training and
education for the type Of employ

him get started in the job to which
he is best adapced. Each of us is

Governor Baldwin paid high trib-
