CONGRESS- INTERVIEWS

Congress is preparing, through
/ the BOren-Halleck Committee of
the House, to protect the people
whom it represents from the ar
bitrary rulings of reform bureau
Gratis who are exceeding their au-
thority. 3.
This Committee was created
when the House unanimously vOt-
ed to adopt the Halleek resolution,
IL. r. 9S. The Committees job will
be to investigate the effect bureau
cratic. rulings have in promoting
grade labelling and standardiza-
tion, which tend to wipe out trade
marks and brand names. and which
adversely affect the maximum pro-
duction and distribution of goods
of all kinds. This is one of the
most important Investigations i'm
itiated by Congress since the war
started. 1t is important because
the results of its findings will
deeply affect both the consuming
public and industry which pro-
duces consumer goods. This Com
mittee, which is under the chair
manship Of Congressman Lyle H.
Boren of Oklahoma, will hold its
first public hearings on May "a to
investigate the activities of OPA
rule-makers. ''
Preliminary to these hearings
the Chairman of the Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee,
Clarence F. Lea, has written a
letter to Price Administrator Prem
tiss M. Brown in which he ordered
that "the effective date of any
grading or standardization orders
already issued or the issuance of
whic his being contemplated, be
postponed until the subcommittee
has had an opportunity to secure
further information on these Or
ders."' This order. coupled with the
steady stream Of protests pouring
into Washington from various trade
groups and consumers, should
clearly show the OPA in which
direction the wind is blowing.
Congressional action was forced
in this situation by the growing
public suspicion that many of the
burdens some Government war
agencies have impose don business,
and notably those of the Office of
Price Administration. have moth
ing to do with winning the war;
instead that they actually have
been created for the purpose of
carrying out reform measures and
pet theories of some who hold inn
portaht positions in these agen-
cies. ~5
The attempt of OPA to enforce
uniform grade labelling for can
ned foods and arbitrary Standard
zation for important clothing items,
such as overalls, work shirts, un-
derwear and hosiery is a case in |
point. Far from conserving mate
rfals and -manpower such programs
have inevitably resulted in loss
of valuable production at a time
when maximum output is urgently
needed. Thus, under the guise of
war economies, the OPA, through |
such programs. is openly aiming at
drastic changes in business prac-
tices. Specifically, it would de-
prive the public Of quality protec-
tion.
A multitude of OPA rulings in
dicate clearly that that agency has
continued to use its war powers to
create drastic reforms in the Ma
tons economy despite the fact
that such an attempt is clearly
contrary to the law as it was writ
ten by Congress in the beginning
Of the war.

 Camp Davis, N. O., Oct. 26-Girls will be girls and Army Air Force pilots, to, if the achievements of Jacqueline Cochran and her WASP squadrons here are 6 sign of things to come.
 The WASP, women's Airforce Service Pilots, are step-children in hand-me-down clothes 50 far. They replace men of the First Tactical Air Force for combat by tow-target and tracking mission flying, two of the most dif1cult and tedious flying jobs. Both re- quire the tedious labor of flying back and forth hour after hour on a seta course, making precise turns.
 WASP are issued Air Force uni- forms. But they're Civil Service employees. When they appear on strange air fields in uniform they are apt to have encounters with baffled MP's who feel they are impersonating something but don't know what. The girls were all chosen for ability to stick 1t out, however, and they hope to be in the Air Force in few months.
 A Hollywood scout looking for a WASP type would have had @ hard time picking one from the squadron of 30 at atention in front of the hangers. There are cover girl types. Campfire Girl types, and some who look like good cooks. Some wear Air Force olive green and some pink" trousers and shirts.
 SET UP TARGETS
 An impressive sample of the type of work the girls came to do was given the press on the sandy beach at Sears Landing. six miles from camp. First Q stimulated plane" target was shot down in Q few seconds, and fell with e streak of smoke and o burst of flame.
 Then e big B-S4 with Q WASP co-pilot came over towing flag" target of wire screen and cloth After good deal of chatter from field phones to control tower, to pilot, the plane was brought in close because of poor visibility.

 Crews moved like an Indian club act getting the shells in. The four long noses of the guns fixed on the computed point, fired, and mvoed this target down in little more time than the first one. {
 The first batch of % WASP moved in on 5000 incredulouS men at camp Davis on July 10. Later 22 more WASP arrived to bolster the first group, snd three weeks ago three more came. By January Miss Cochran expects GOO flyers, and 800 trainees to be in action.
