Or Music
Hard Way
BY MARTIN KANE
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. rs.
MORTON GOULD, Shaving to
AVA finish his new and as yet
unnamed symphony, is buoyed
up with the recollection that the
great classic composers had
their troubles and frailties.
Reading Beethoven's letters he
found that the old master had a
strong commercial sense. He was
continually writing his publish
ers to demand money-no check,
no music. He could wheedle or
turn on the high pressure. He
advertised bargains - a long
symphony with some shorter
compositions thrown in free in
return for a quick check. List
also used to howl for his money.
Bach was a hireling who wrote
70 order.

Russia today officially challenged

the disaster which is rapidly en-
veloping Hitler's invasion armies as
Soviet troops recaptured more than
20 additional towns in their tri-
umphant sweep along the lower
Don River Valley and the eau
casus.
Despite the Soviet jibe, Hitler's
field headquarters still resorted to
generalities which pictured the
Germans repulsing Soviet attacks
in three major sectors.
Soviet dispatches said three ma
jor armies now are closing in
around the great German base at
Rostov. The nearest is reported
less than IS miles away.
A Russ communique, aimed at
German propaganda mouthpieces,
said German leaders conceal the
truth of the retreat from heir

Meat Dealers Claim
OpA Stand on Turkey
Prices Here Unfair

Juneau meat dealers today is
sued a statement challenging the
OPA's fairness in attempting to
impose a last-minute change in the
prices for Christmas turkeys on
December %, and advising custo-
mers not to pay the excess"
A spokesman appointed by the
dealers, a local meat dealer, said
that all turkeys for both Thanks
giving and Christmas were bought
from wholesalers in the st e
prior to November /. Juneau deal
ers were charged SIS cents pound
for the birds and the spokesman
said that the OPA had then told
them the wholesalers could have
charged up to 57ls cents a pound
At that time, he said, Juneau
dealers checked with local OPA
accountants and the OPA agreed
that a minimum of 50 cents a
pound, and a maximum OF &c
cents would be acceptable. This
gave the dealers a profit OF 23i2
percent. the spokesman said, and
the OPA told them, he said, that
it had no objection to a rs percent
profit in dollars and cents mark
up.
The turkeys were sold fol-
Thanksgiving on the price agreed
on.
New Regulation
On December Is, the same date
that new turkey price schedule
appeared in print in the Federal
Record in Washington, the Local
OPA office again issued a circular
to Juneau dealers, telling them
they would be able TO sell at the
same price for Christmas, fan
and just conclusion since the deal
ers had paid the same price fol-
the Christmas turkeys to whole
salers.
But at the same time, new
regulation was in effect, ever
though the Juneau dealers had nc
way of knowing this. Consequently
they sold most of their Christmas
turkeys before December %, when
the Director of the OPA, return
ing from Washington. decided to
put the latter regulation into eff
feet in Juneau.
The spokesman for the dealers
said that if turkeys which had beer
purchased before November in
the south were sold here at the
latest price set by the OPA, not
counting transportation charges
dealers here would realize a profit
of less than 2ll2 percent, which
is less than operating cost witt
relation to overhead and high
wages.
