.OPA Likely
to be Relaxed

Washington. Oct. FILMS In
formed sources foresaw today the
inception OF new OPA price poll
cy which may result in widespread
violations OF President Roosevelts
''hold-the-line" order on the cost Of
living.
First sign OF the new policy was
indicated in OPA's action in grant
ing an increase in the ceiling prices
on boys bib overalls to obtain pro
duction OF ten million pairs of the
garments and relieve a serious
shortage.
Some OPA officials and civilian
supply experts have long advocated
boosting the prices of cheaper mer-
chandise to encourage manufactur-
ers to return to the production OF
so-called low-end goods. The trend
recently has been toward the out
put OF higher-profit lines.
Advocates OF such a course admit
that II would mean higher costs
for low-income families who pur-
chase low-end goods. They argue.
however. that such families now
are unable to buy a s19s dress. for
example, and have to purchase a
higher priced article.
Another argument advanced in
support OF the new policy Is that
1t may result in a decline in the
production OF hlgh-profit items and
thereby bring about a reduction in
the overall cost OF living for all
consumers.
Indications are that the new
policy will be instituted widely "

Rebuke Felt


Washington. oct. 16-INS Hope
was growing in official Washington
circles today that Argentina may
soon break diplomatic relations
with the Axis powers.
This hope was strengthened By
the swift developments which oc-
Cured in Argentina following
President Roosevelt's singing re-
Duke Of that country's military
government for suspending publica-
ton Of Jewish newspapers there.
Quick withdrawal OF the anti.
Semitic measure and the appoint
ment Of more liberal. pro-Amer-
lean elements to the Argentine
cabinet we're seen as promising
signs.
Argentina is the only Latin Am
erican republic which has failed to
break diplomatic relations with the
Axis.
Latest diplomatic advices indi-
cate that President Pedro Ramirez
personally is disposed to break
with the Axis. but was fearful OF
the group OF reactionary. anti-Am-
erican Army and Airforce officers
which had dominated the govern
ment.
This military group engineered
the coup d'etat which placed Gen.
Ramirez in power early this sum-
mer. All leading army officers who
were friendly TO the United States
were transferred TO isolated posts
in the interior.
The elements which this military
group represented we're considered
responsible for the anti-Semitic
am other Objectionable measures
recently taken by the Argentine
government.

Washington, Oct. 16-INS-The
Hill-Thomas bill providing a 800
million dollar a year federal sub
sidy for public schools moved TO-
ward a showdown battle in the SEN
ate today with both sides claiming
victory.
As a SAFETY measure, however,
opponents were talking OF a mo-
ton to send the bill back to the
committee on education and labor
il they find their strength waning
when the Senate reconvenes Mon
day.
II don't have any doubt that we
can pass the bill! sometime next
week" said Sen. Hill Cd Ala, one
OF its sponsors.
81 think We can beat the bill
by about ten votes said Sen. Taft
(R) Ohio, who is battling the bill
on the ground it will lead to federal
domination of the schools.
81 doubt that I shall offer any
amendments because | think it
would be better to defeat it on a
clear cut vote and definitely estab-
lish that the Congress will not
seek to embark on a program which
would inevitably result in federal
control of education
But while Taft took this stand on
amendments, four other members
already had changes pending.
Sen. Mcclellan Cd Ark. pro-
posed a lengthy amendment stating
in explicit detail that the federal
government may not in any way in
fuence curriculum, teachers, teach
ing methods, or any other school
matter.
Il entertain the fears OF some
other members that federal control
OF education might result and |
want to divorce federal aid com

Evening star., 1943-09-16

There were two courses to
choose from.
One Was the slow method OF
moving northward methodically
toward Rome with the British.
The other was = landing in the
Naples sector.
The first would have lost pre-
cious days, Offering the Nazis all
the time they needed to make
their position in Northern italy
as powerful as their positions on
the west coast Of Europe.
The definitely risky operation
around Naples presented the
great advantage that, If success
full. the Allied forces from the
south and the west could push
on to Rome and the Arno River
before the end Of the fall.
On the whole western coast Of
Italy Naples is the only port
which is capable Of providing
large armies with all the neces-
sary facilities. Had Naples fallen
into our hands 1t would have en-
abled us to pour in all the men
and supplies needed for = large
army.
Naxis Had Superiority.
The Naples-salerno operations
were not undertaken without
some misgivings. Gen. Eisen-
hover and his stan realized that
II the Nazis managed to bring in
large numbers of troops We might
get q bloody nose. They relied,
however, on the cooperation OF
the Italian people, who might
have been able to sabotage the
German lines of communications,
and on the fact that when the
attack was mapped intelligence
reports showed that the NaN
force In that area did not exceed
one division.
Whether the intelligence was
faulty or the Germans were able
to rush additional forces much
quicker than we expected is un-
determined.
The fact Is that when the
first waves Of Gen. Clark's 5th
Army began to land they were
opposed by much superior Ger
man forces. It is probable that
instead Of our having q 2-to-l
superiority it was the enemy who
had that advantage.
The German-Italian numeri-
cal superiority In the Sicilian
campaign did not bother us since
the Italians were ripe for sur
render and they gave up enthusi-
astically. Unfortunately, In spite

Safeway Stores Answer
0PA Motion on Complaint

Ine Safeway Stores, Inc, yester-
day contended the United States
Emergency Court of Appeals has
Jurisdiction to decide Its complaint,
filed August q, against Price Ad-
ministrator Brown in a meat price
regulation case, despite the Price
Administrators failure to take
specific action on q protest filed
with OPA in the case.
The corporations contentious are
In answer to motion filed by OPA
asking the court to dismiss the COM
plant. Dismissal had been asked
by OPA on the grounds the tri-
bunal can only consider COM
plant against the Price Administra- :
tor after the latter has denied q
protest made by a complainant.
The safeway Stores, Inc, how
ever, contends that while the Price
Administrator had not formally
denied the protest to OPA, he had
taken no specific action on it within
the statutory limit Of 80 days after
the protest was filed or 90 days
after the issuance Of the regulation
protested.
The complaint, which the OPA
seeks to have dismissed, is against
an OPA regulation which allegedly
forced the corporation to reduce

which did an annual business of
more than $3.50, 900 in 1912.
