Representative Otter, Republican,
of Pennsylvania said yesterday the
Democratic majority in the House

posal and the Democratic members
of the Ways and Means Committee

In a statement released by the
National Republican Congressional
Committee of which he is chairman,
Representative Otter said every
political trick and pressure was used
to carry through the philosophy that
the tax payers didn't matter, taxa

long as the Republicans did not get
credit for renovating the tax sys-
tenn"
The House rejected the proposal
of Representative Carlson. Repub-

Ruml skip-a-year tax plan, but voted
to send back to the Ways and Means

After dashing the hopes of mil

Petain Denounces
Americans for Raids
On French Targets
Links U. S. and Britoin
For First Time in
Aggression Charges
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 5.-Marshal Hen
RI Philippe Petain spoke out for
the first time yesterday against the
Americans by name, linking them
with the British as perpetrators of
"unjustifiable" bombing raids on
France, and he asserted he was
giving France an Authoritative
regime which is wisest and meets
the common sense of the great
masses"
In the past the chief of state has
been content to assail the British
and his republican predecessors. and
"aggressors" in North Africa. but in
broadcast yesterday to his con-
quered nation he made special ref
erence to the raid by the United
States Air Forces on the Renault
works near Paris, saying he had
Just learned that region of Paris
this afternoon was the object of new
Anglo-American aggression
In protesting against this action
1ustiflable by nothing. I convey to
the families of those innocent peo-
pie the expression of my great
grief" he added
Fighting French sources here said
they were impressed by the fact
that Marshal Petain made his first
open criticism of Americans. there
by destroying the fiction which he
had carefully fostered that he had
some sort of understanding with
Washington
In his speech. Marshal Petain de-
clared that our dead and
those whose houses were destroyed
by unjustifiable bombardment"
should serve as an example to give
Frenchmen the courage to stand up
to personal trials.
Warning against temptations
and chimeras," he sounded a ia
miliar Axis propaganda note. de-
claring that If Communist barbar-
ity should triumph it would only
destroy forever our civilization and
our national independence"
Insisting that he was the legal
choice of the people and that he had
been given mandate to create
new constitution. the marshal said
Of his social program that "one SEN
tence expresses all To suppress the
proletarian state-that is the aim of
the charter
He described Frenchmen carrying
on the war abroad as rebel chiefs
'who) have chosen emigration and
the past. l have chosen France and
the future"
Fighting French spokeSmen noted
that rebel chiefs" was the closest
Marshal Petain had yet come to
making direct reference to Gen
Charles de Gaulle, and said this
destroyed another fiction which he
has sought quietly to preserve that
he had some sort of secret under
standing with De Gaulle"
The speech, they said. sounded
very much like man standing at
grave side reading his own funeral
oration'
Their overall reaction was that
the spirit of the republic is now
moving so strongly through France
that Marshal Petain saw power slip
ping from him and allowed himself
to be led by Pierri Laval and the
Germans to launch a new attack on
republican principles and also to
burn his bridges behind him in re-
gard to Americans.
The speech, said the Fighting
French, was rather clever and
sound as though it might have been
written by Laval" The marshal
they said seemed in his delivery to
be more desperately pleading than
ever before

If the retailer does his own

The OPA said the cuts specified in
the new order were arrived at after
an extensive series of cutting tests
in which representatives of the re-

out that standardizing meat cuts
was necessary preliminary to set

the highest prices charged by each

1912. 1t was claimed that many
of the inequities existing at that
time were frozen into the ceiling
structure. with the result that meat
moved more abundantly into those
areas where the prices were most
favorable.
OPA officials expressed the opinion
that the new maximum price regu-
latlons would provide solutions for
these additional problems:
l. Increases in the wholesale price
structure as result of the change
to standardized wholesale cuts and
uniform pricing which began last
December. This resulted in price
squeeze on retail stores with low
ceilings. so that some of them either
operated at loss or curtailed their
supplies.
2. Difficulty in proving what par
tlcular price on any given meat
product was in effect in March.
1912, in the various stores.
3. The necessity of standardizing
retail cuts to carry out meat ra-
tlonlng. which specified point values
for each cut of meat. BY stand
ardlzing cuts. OPA said. retailers
who previously trimmed meat close
ly ano who would therefore lose
ration points under the point sys-
tenn will now be placed on a more
nearly equal footing with butchers
who did not trim and who have
therefore been gaining ration points.

The grade mark must appear on
all but inside cuts of meat, under
the OPA order. Department of
Agriculture gradings are to be used

sideration the grade of meat used
in each category. Five grades each

CHAPTER VII

One of the incest things about
working in the kitchen in Battery c
Of the 18th Battalion has been the
knowledge that its number-one chow
hound, Buster Charnley, would drop
around after supper and the conver-
sational fat. It's like letter from
home to listen to Busters slow and
mournful drawl, and his refreshing
ly dry humor is a pick-me-up at the
end Of long, hot afternoon.
Buster came prancing up the chow
line, the other evening with grin
that started at the back of his head
and enveloped his face from the
nose down.
Whats eating you, Walter" I
asked him, besides that egg-suck-
ing grin?"
Leaving here, boy!" he sang.
'You won't see me around for three
months. And when you see me,
son, you'll see stripes on my sleeves
and a look of prosperity on my
clean-cut Tarheel face!"
The man behind him wanted to get
to the mashed potatoes, so Buster
had to move on down the line, I got
the whole story from one of the
kaypees while waited for him to
make his evening call.
Of the 200-odd men in Battery c,
two men had been selected for three
months training at Fort Sill, Okla
homa. At the end of their three
months, they will come back as gum
merry instructors, with non-com-
missioned officers rating and spe-
cialist's extra pay on top Of that.
Mrs. Walter Charnley's little boy
Buster was one of the two men
selected.
I was chopping kindling for break
fast when Buster came around
again, and I painted Fort Sill as a
nest of jack rabbits, gophers, and
rattlesnakes and assured him that
Battery c was sending him to school
to cut down the grocery bills. If
we hadn't been insulting each other
in a friendly fashion for years, I
would have told him that I wasn't
particularly astonished and that I
was sure he'd make a good instruc-
tor and the kind of noncommis-
stoned officer the boys borrow mon
ey from.
Battery c will miss Ole Buster
while he's away. The cooks will
miss him because he always Pc
