Initiation Regarded
As Major Threat
To u. ). BANKING
ABA Trust Division
Chief Feurs Further
Rise in Prices
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. o.-Louis S.
Headley Of st. Paul, Mimi, presi-
dent Of the trust division OF the
American Bankers Association, told
its midwinter conference today that
the continued threat of imitation
'overshadows all other dangers" In
banking.
Headley said that imitation mas
querades under the guise of pros
perity and is at the banquet table
before we know it." He traced the
course Of inflated prices and said
that conditions are ripe for still
greater increases"
In the three years prior to August.
1912" Headley said, raw materials
rose 81 per cent in price, wholesale
prices rose 80 per cent and the cost
Of living increased 10 per cent. Most
OF this occurred after March, 194l.
The war program Is costing the
Government $4,000, 0O0, 900 per
month, the national debt is already
in excess of 500 900, 900 900 and will
probably reach $40, ZOO, 600, 900 by
the end of the fiscal year in June. :"
Headley said that many controls
to curb imitation had been inaugu-
rated, but that these measures were
far from complete protection.
Taxes must be imposed where
the new money u.s." Headley stated,
land where 1t is likely to be spent
and must be collected now. They
must be withheld at the source on
all incomes above a low minimum.
This should be coupled with COM
pulsory saving where voluntary
saving fails to stop the flow Of ex-
pendable funds"

Under certain circumstances, ex-
penses paid during the taxable year
for medical care of the taxpayer, his
wife or a dependent OF the taxpayer
may be deducted. The term med
ical care includes amounts paid for

ment or prevention Of disease. 1t
also includes payments for hospital

ton and clinical care. Payments of
expenses for medical care are not
under any circumstances allowable

spread that clothes were about to
be put on the rationed list.
Store officials. wiping their per-
spring brows, today looked over the
large dents in their stocks and
shook their heads in CONSERVATION
at the unexpected turn Of events.
Several admitted frankly that yes
terday's rush especially in the late
afternoon when Government en-
ployes were released from their off,
ces, was marked by lot OF panic
buying"
Even though OPA's order Of Sum-
day applied only to shoes, the power
of suggestion evidently sent thou
sands of shoppers down to the stores
yesterday on what they felt might

De their last rat1OnleSS spending
hinge" for the duration.
Estimates as to the extent of the
crowds varied. One store reported
that business in the women's ap-
parel departments was just about
double the normal Monday business.
Another store Official said it seemed
as If Easter was to be next Sunday
instead of next April" Others esti-
mated business generally went up
between Is and Is per cent over
normal.
Although the rush appeared to
have tapered of somewhat today,
store onhcials were unwilling to spec
ulate as to whether business would
be any lighter after Government
offlces close this afternoon.
Increase In Business.
Even the mems departments, 1t
was reported by several stores, ex-
perienced an increase in business.
But it was nothing like year ago,
one official said, when clothes con-
scious males damned local stores in
an effort to beat the ban on cuffs
and other frills.
Most of the heavy buying was in
ready to-wear women's coats, suits
and dresses. There was some dupli-
cate buying by women determined
to keep full wardrobes for the dura-
ton. Most of the merchants said
they did not know of any cases Of
customers walking out of stores with
large loads of apparel.
One merchandising expert, though,
admitted he has not yet learned to
understand the vagaries of the fe-
male mind. One of the departments
where sales were heaviest, he said,
was that specializing in fashion,
type dresses.
Il don't know how women reason"
he continued. They came In and
bought dresses that are going to be
out of style in little while instead
of more staple clothing"
Like Thursday Night.
The store oficials agreed that
business in Washington lis always
good" Several Of them said that
women here have bought more
than they ordinarily would" for the
last six months. But yesterday
well, one executive said, Anybody
who was on the streets could see
that the stores were busy. 1t was
more like Thursday night than a
Monday
Merchants were unanimous in the
opinion that the restrictions on
shoes were responsible for the sud-
den squirt in clothing sales.
IAN announcement like that" one
executive said, SIS bound to have
repercussions in other lines"
AS matter of fact, there was
some indication as early as Saturday
of heavier buying, spurred by a
vague feeling of uncertainty among
shoppers. For instance, the buyer
who had somehow heard the rumor
that something was going to be ra-
toned, but didn't know it would be
shoes. So he bought lot of clothes
he figured he would notwithstanding
shoes.

Mr.. Dies last week named the 80

he told the House he is prepared to

Mr.. Cannon introduced his resolu-
ton yesterday after a long debate
over the case of Mr.. Pickens. The
House already has taken preliminary
steps to remove him from Office by
voting to prevent use of Treasury
appropriations for payment OF his

however, awaits disposal of the

BY the Associated Press.
The ONCE Of Price Administra-
ton has scrapped its price ceiling
for pies. pastries. doughnuts ano
cakes and established a new pricing
formula which, it estimated, will
increase consumers cost to IS pc,

Bread prices are not affected by
the action. Cookies also are ex-
cluded but the agency said another
order would fix ceilings on those
sweets.
The cid ceilings had been based
on the maximum of each retailer in
March, 1912
Under the new formula. each re-
taller will be allowed a Is per cent
markup over the price he pays.
The new pricing method, OPA
said, Is expected to be particularly
helpful to the small neighborhood
baker.
Under the regulation each pro-
ducer will be allowed the same
markup over cost in March, 1912,
as he received during varying base
periods.

States One just visualize the British hand that point

of it's own to be completely preOccuped with them. In
stead sponsored statement which condemned the effort

when the Arab National Higher Committee Palestine

"But there was another and
more permanently significant
reason for the accession of vital

Theodore Herzl's book, The Jewish

therefrom. Herzps summons to
his people to establish their own
home, once again to dwell together
and become self-revering, creative
participants in the life of the
world, deeply and beneficently af-
fected the life of Jews everywhere.
For years the struggle against
Zionism was bitter and fruitless,

while Zionism does not purport 10

problem, Ziorism is the will of the
lew once again to take his place
as among the creative and up
building forces Of mankind. 10
hold as has recently been DONE
that zionism is anti-religious is
the ouintessence of absurdlty ana
also of calumny against ones own

ago derived from the sterility that
obtained in both camps. If a
change came over the life and

because Conservatism and Reform

Jews And The POlish-Russian Break

ers-of-war camps. All Polish ter
ritory was overrun by the Nazis.
AS the Soviet government felt
it's military position strengthen, it
made strong claims on the Poles.
Jews, Ukrainians, White Russians
were declared to be unquestion-
ably Societ citizens on racial"
and language basis. Later, the
Soviets claimed that anyone on
Soviet soil was a Soviet citizen,
even a western Pole who had fled
to Russia before the Nazis. The
Polish relief centers were finally
closed.
But by this time, under earlier
arrangements, the Soviets had
evacuated 100000 Poles about
half of them soldiers-from u. S.
S. r. territory to Persia. Among
them were Ukrainians, White
Russians-and even $500 Jews.
The Poles hailed this fact as prov
ing their contention that the So
viets were trying to gobble their
population, group by group. The
much advertised distinctions were
ruse, they charged. The Rus
slams identified those evacuated as
the families of Polish soldiers
whose Polish citizenship Moscow
did admit.
Although some anti-Semitic
Poles were pleased with the pros
pect of Jewish Poles acquiring So
Wet citizenship, they felt the Rus
sian attitude as an affront to their
sovereignty. The Soviets resented
Polish claims as a reflection on
the justice of their plebiscite and
the consequent joining of western
White Russia and the western
Ukraine with the corresponding
Soviet Republics. Both attitudes
contributed to the break.
