W
Ceilings Also Set on Veal
and Lamb to Help Kill
Black Markets

Washington, April 5--CUP)-The
ONCE Of Price Administration to-
day set uniform retail ceilings on
meat which It said will reduce the
price now being charged In many
cities and will help drive the black
markets out of business.
When the prices go into effect on
April is, retailers will be forbidden
to sell any meat that has not been
graded IN accordance with govern
ment standards.
The new ceilings apply to all va
rieties OF beef, veal, lamb and NUT
ton. Pork already is under uniform
price ceilings.
The new prices and the grading
requirements are expected by OPA
officials to go far toward stamping
out the black market. They felt
that black market operations no
longer would find It possible to pose
as legitimate retailers.
The regulation Is the first requir-
ing retailers to mark their prod
ucts so that housewives will know
they are getting the quality of meat
they are paying for. A similar OPA
plan for grade labelling Of canned
goods has met opposition and Price
Administrator Prentiss M. Brown
Is giving 1t further study.
Hitherto, beef, veal, lamb and
mutton have been under the gen.
eral maximum price regulation. I'M

STEPHAN DEATH.
PENALTY UPHELD.
Supreme Court Refuses to
Review Lower Court
Proceedings

washington, April 6--(UP)--The
Supreme Court today In effect up-
held the death sentence ordered for
Max Stephan, Detroit restaurateur
convicted OF treason for harboring
q Nazi flyer who escaped from a
Canadian prison canlp. The high
tribunal refused TO review lower
court proceedings In the case.
Stephan was convicted of treason
In the federal district court for
Michigan for aiding Peter Krug In
the latter's vain effort to get back
to Germany after escaping from
the Canadian camp. Krug later was
apprehended by federal bureau of
investigation agents before he was
able to get out Of the United States.
Stephan's case was the first fed
eral conviction for treason since
the Whlskey Rebellion Of 1901.
In his petition to the high court,
Stephan commended he had not
acted In behalf Of the German gov
eminent or against the welfare OF
the United States. Shelterlng the
German flyer involved only the
shielding Of an individual, he con-
tended.
He charged that he was denied
O fair and Just trial and that pub
lie opinion and press notices had
influenced his conviction. Further
he told the court, the appearance
Of Krug In the courtroom-where
he appeared In the full dress Of an
ofilcer Of the German airforce-
had greatly hampered his receiving
q Just and fair verdict.
The avert acts charged In the in
dictments against Stephan were
that he had transported Krug m
his automobile from time TO time
and solicited money for the Luft-
waite officer while at the same time
concealing his identity from United
States authorities.
Krug's demeanor in court and on
the witness stand, when he refused
to be sworn as q witness and answer
certain questions, deprived Stephan
Of certain evidence that might have
altered the verdict, he commended
In petitnoings the high court.
The verdict was upheld by the
United States circuit court Of APP
peals for the sixth circuit.
Stephens attorneys may now ask
the high court to reconsider its re-
fusaI to review the case. For the
tribunal to grant such a petition
would be unusual.
The death sentence will be car.
ried out barring reversal Of the
courts attitude or some clemency
action by President Roosevelt.

which were paid $50 per share in
each Of the months Of April, July,
october and December. This was
the same amount per share that
was paid in i04i.
This report has been delayed
In order to find out how much
the government would require US
to pay back as q reduction In
contract and subcontract prices
under Section 40S Of Public Law
$40. relating to renegotiation Of
government contracts. A settle
ment has been made, which we
believe will be final, but 1t Is yet
to be confirmed by q signed con-
tract. The amount to be returned
Is 9i0, 100000. Taking into consid-
Grafton the taxes thereon which
would have been paid, the net
saving to the government and
the cost to US Is approximately
94,400,0 900.

nation can be attributed entirely
TO the efficiency and economy OF
our operations, and the splendid
