Harrison Calls Control
Of Prices Huge Joke
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, May 1O.-George M.
Harrison of Cincinnati, president of
the Brotherhood of Railway and
Steamship Clerks, asserted today
price control procedure has been a
huge joke and the system has
broken down"
The administration has failed to
control prices and racketeers are
running rampant" Mr.. Harrison
told 826 delegates to the organiza-
tons quadrennial convention. THE
people who are responsible for the
extortionate rise in prices should
stop undermining our war effort.
I'VE will make our sacrifices, but
we demand every other element of
society must make an equal sacri-
flee for the winning of the war"
Mr.. Harrison cited 256 per cent
rise in the price of potatoes and a
200 per cent increase in cabbage
prices as evidence of price extortion.
He said labor heartily approved a
stabilization program because it
knew the dangers of rapid imitation.
The Government, Mr.. Harrison
maintained, assured us it would
control prices and establish parity
between prices and wages, but it has
failed to do So"

Conversion 10 Coal
Removed as Factor
In New Oil Rations
OPA Will Not Query
HousehoIders Next
Winter, Browns Says

Householders next winter will not
be required to show that they are
unable to convert their home furn-
aces to coal before they are granted
fuef oil rations, Price Administrator
Brown announced this afternoon.
This will apply to the District and
80 Eastern and Midwestern States
where fuel oil is rationed.
The question of whether a house
holder should change over to coal
simply will not be raised, Mr.. Brown
explained. but all homes burning
fuel oil will get whatever ration they
are entitled to next season.
Buildings other than private
dwellings, however. in the District,
Maryland. Virginia and 16 other
States still will be denied fuel oil
unless they have been proved non
convertible. A more lenient policy
will be observed in some other ra-
toned States and in Georgia and
Florida all types of structures will
be exempt from compulsory CONVEX
sion.
Mr.. Brown warned that the
changes should not be construed as
forecasting any easing OF the oil
supply situation.
This is no time" he said, "for
assurances that there will be more
fuel oil for civilian consumption
next winter than there was during
the last year."
Mr.. Brown pointed out that the
program of conversion to. coal al
ready had achieved a fuel oil saw
ing OF more than 60,0O0,O00 barrels
a year in the rationed area-more
than half the conversion saving
sought to assure adequate supplies
for the military and essential civil
ian requirements.

District AAA Board
Indorses Continuance
OF Safety Inspections
Members Take Action
After Hearing Reed
Cite Need Of Program

The District Advisory Board of
the American Automobile Associa-
ton today indorsed the continuation
of local automobile safety inspec-
tions in the interest of the mo-
torist."
This action was taken at lunch
con meeting in the Hotel Washing
ton after members of the board
heard Charles w. Reed, in charge
of District inspection stations, cite
figures intended to show the need
for maintaining the safety program.
Motorists Not More Careful.
Mr.. Reed said arguments had
been advanced that motorists were
taking better care of their cars now
than they previously had done be-
cause of difficulties in obtaining
new parts and quick repair services.
The experience of the inspection
stations, he said, did not bear this
out. When certain unimportant fea-
lures of the local inspections were
dropped october 7. he said, the
number of passenger cars rejected
dropped only As per cent and was
still 4,04 per cent higher than the
number in the comparable period
the year before.
Reflections of trucks increased 3.4
per cent, he said, and reflections of
taxis, SOB per cent, or IS per cent
more than the year before.
He also disputed the contention
that automobiles were forced to use
several gallons of gasoline to get to
and from inspection stations, and
said that figures showed all auto
mobiles, including those which had
to make return trips to the stations,
Travelled an average of only 9 miles
year, requiring less than a gallon
OF gasoline.
49 Per Cent of Buses Rejected
Mr.. Reed revealed that 40 per cent
OF the buses examined last year
were rejected on their first visit to
the inspection station. This, he said,
was l8 per cent more than had been
turned down the year before. Prin-
clpal defects in buses, according to
Mr.. Reed, were in headlights, speed
ometers and brakes.
Others who attended the meeting
were William A. Van Duzer. Dis

thur Miller of the Metropolitan

trict division of the AAA.

Organization 10 Aid
Stricken Nations
Queen Asserts Naming Of
Lehman Has Brought
First Ray Of Hope
Earlier Story on Page A-2D


| By the Associated Press
LONDON, May 10.-Creation
soon of a complete adequate
United Nations organization" to
bring relief to the Nazi-occupied
nations of Europe was urged to-
day by Queen Wilhelmina of the
Netherlands.
In an address marking the third
anniversary of the invasion of the
Low Countries, which now are under
added tension as the result of Ger
man-decreed martial law, the Queen
said the appointment of Herbert H.
Lehman as United States director
of foreign relief and rehabilitation
has brought the first ray of hope
to the hearts of those who are so
cruelty oppressed"
Il hope it may soon be followed by
the establishment of a complete,
adequate United Nations organiza-
tion and above all by action as
serted the Queen. whose talk was
broadcast to the United States.
Earlier Queen Wilhelmina, Prince
Bernhard and Premier Pieter S.
Gerbrandy delivered messages of
hope for swift liberation to their
Netherlands homeland.
In the broadcast to America, the
Queen said she realized that Amer
leans wanted ito help these people
whose human feelings are being
hurt so grievously by a ruthless,
pitiless foreign state whose moral
ity is sub-normal."
You will feel more actually that
this evil must be stamped out she
continued, because it tries to eat.
like a cancer, into the decent ma
tlons of the earth and one day. if
not extirpated, would reach your
own homes.
You will want to have a share
in bringing relief to these stricken
nations once hostilities are at an
end. They will be hungry. will lack
clothing, lack many elementary
medical supplies. Their industries
will be partly ruined because the
tools have been destroyed or
taken. -
Do Not Want Charity.
DO not think these nations will
want to live on your charity. They
will accept gratefully what you send
them to make new beginning But
they wish above all to be enabled
to start afresh and earn their own
living and rebuild their erstwhile
prosperity"
The Queen declared that when
the Germans ordered that university
students in her land supply a quota
for German labor the Netherlands
government advised them In
broadcast not to sign a loyalty
pledge which the Nazis had prom
lsed would free them from the
danger of being deported.
AS a result" the Queen said. "85
per cent of the students refused.
You will understand that am proud
OF them and very happy to see the
close spiritual communion between
the people and the government to
which they remain loyal"

taken to Italy. We spent the night
aboard but nothing happened I
speak Italian, so I asked the Italian
captain when we were going to sail
He said we were awaiting escort
ships.
Then our bombers came over
and really made things hot. They
moved the ship three times. Later
the escort ships arrived, but our
bombers came over again and sank
nearly every one of them. After
that, the American bombers came
over most of the time and bombed
the ships for three days. One bomb
knocked out our ships guns and the
Italian captain gave up then and
ran the ship aground off La Gou-
lette. He evacuated the crew, leav-
ing only one Italian soldier to guard
us-55O men.
Guard Hands Over Gun.
This soldier quickly handed over
his gun to us and said: Now I am
your prisoner But that didn't make
things easier for us.
The bombs killed some of our
men and once, when a tugboat ap-
preached, our bombers appeared and
sank it.
The Germans and Italians on the
whole, treated us all right, even if
the grub was lousy. They finally
brought out boat and took off all
the wounded and at last, another
boat showed up and took off the
others
About then, the British got into
town and we were turned loose"
After being freed, Brescia and a
companion, Pvt. Joseph Lasek, Co.

German rifles and charged slightly
more than 100 Germans. but all Of
