wide terraces OF the big house the

. cause it was, in Martyrs sky, as he
had differentiated, instead OF in

somehow. II appeared to be smiling
down on them, as they started on
their tour OF inspection; its light
wax like a sort OF warm benedic-
ton, turning the trailer camp into
a fairy-like village aglow with
warmth and cherriness.
"Why, l had no idea trailer
camp was so NICE" Karen claimed,
enthralled by the neat rows OF tiny
doll houses, as she privately
thought OF them, each set in its
own plot Of land. many OF which
had tiny, miniature gardens Of

beds, neatly trimmed shrlbbery

WASHINGTON, Jan. q (INS)
-PrentisS NJ. SBrown. sworn into

that SLOW. well-ordered rise in

Brown estimated that since con-
troll measures were adopted prices

month and indicated that his goal
would be to keep within this range
of upSwing.
Asked at press conference
yesterday if wages would be per-
mitted the same advance, Brown
said he felt that they had kept
pace.
Its a holdback idea all along
|, the line" Brown declared.
Pointing out that general price
indexes have risen only 80 pei
cent since September, 1889, as
compared with the ITO per cent
increase during the last war,
Brown said the OPA, under his
predecessor, Leon Henderson, had
done "a pretty good job.
Although Brown declined TO
make any statement Of policy
until he had spent two weeks
/ familiarizing himself with the
administrative problems of his new
job, he said:
"The keynote of my admins
tration will be that rationing
and price control will not be
looked upon as an imposition on
the people, but as a protection
