The Office of Price Admins
tration announced today a roll
back, without the use of subsidy,
of approximately Is to so per
cent, respectively, in the retail
prices of lettuce and cabbage as
the first step to bring the costs
of all fresh vegetables and fruits
under control. The new ceilings
will take effect July 20.
OPA said wholesalers of lettuce
and cabbage cannot charge more
than formula-set prices. Retail
prices, which are limited to percent
ages of the wholesale prices, are
supposed to follow suit automatical-
ly. The result is that the whole
saler is required by the regulation
to beat down the farm price in
order to operate profitably.

Son.in-Law Charged
With Cakes Murder
Insists He's Innocent
De Morieny Is Arrested
For SIoying Of Boronet
On Estote in Bahamas

BY the Associated Press.
NASSAU, Bahamas, July TO-
The arrest of Sir Harry Oakes'
son-in law brought a startling
climax today to the mystery
which grew out of the death of
the immensely wealthy British
baronet.
Alfred De Marigny, dashing hus-
band of Sir Harry's eldest daughter
Nancy, was held on a formal charge
Of murder, although he fatty denied
that it was he who dubbed the 68-
year-old knight to death.
Miami officers, called to Nassau by
the Duke of Windsor, Governor OF
the Bahamas, helped colonial police
make the investigation which led to
the accusation against the yacht
racer and sportsman, who dropped
the title OF count which he used on
his native Indian Ocean island, the
British colony of Mauritius.
Club Wounds on Head.
Shortly before De Marigny was
taken into custody at the Cakes
home, it was revealed that the body
of the American-born multimillion-
aire was found Thursday morning
on his charred bed. and that there
were four serious bludgeon wounds
on the head.
Attorney General Eric Hallinan
reported that the bed had been afire,
causing burns on the body. Officers
said an electric fan in the room may
have extinguished the flames before
they could spread and destroy West
bourne, Sir Harrys huge estate on
the grounds of the Bahamas Country
Club.
While her husband remained in
custody, 18-year-old Nancy Oakes
De Marigny, whose marriage in May,
1912, incurred the displeasure of her
father, ended vacation in Vermont
to join her mother, Lady Oakes, at
the family's Bar Harbor, Me-, sum-
mer home.
Inquest May Be Public.
Capt. E. w. Melchen, one of the
Miami detectives, said the charge
against the bearded De Marigny was
based on hair analysis, fingerprints
and Interrogation"
An inquest Will be resumed Tues
day, and Mr.. Hallinan said there
was some likelihood that the pro-
ceedingS. secret until now, would be
opened to the public.
H. G. Christie, a close friend of
Sir Harry and a guest Wednesday
night in the rambling house which
includes Is bedrooms, discovered the
body when he sought to awaken the
multi millionaire Thursday morn
ing
For two days the world outside of
this colony was given only an ink

stances. The summoning of the

ment that there were injuries" on

active duty as captain on June
81, 1941 as captain. He stated
that the temperature in Iceland is
not as cold in the winter as many
believe and 1t rarely gets more than
5 degrees below zero. "It is the
dampness of the island which makes
one feel the cold so much, he said.
While In Iceland he met two
