The fact is that stocks are to-
day only fractionally higher than
they were early in 1941, that they
are very substantially below their
peak of 1910. 1889 and 1888. and
that they could 60 almost so per
cent higher without topping the
best quotations recorded in both
1897 and 1886. These figures serve
TO convey that stock quotations
have not been ballooned to the sky
compared with even depression
years.
OF course. abnormal expansion
Of sales by companies filling war
orders is being offset by much
severer taxes. The National City
Bank Of New York. analyzing the
financial record of 40 leading
manufacturers of war materials,
reveals these significant facts
While net sales and other revenue
last year increased 81 per cent
over 1910. and wages and salaries
rose 80 per cent. total taxes sky
rocketed 1873 per cent and brought
about a 20 per cent reduction in
dividend payments.
Favorable war news would prob
ably fan further stock market
animation and buoyancy.

0PA Eases Gas Rule
To LEI Anglers Use
Bays Fishing Boats
| Catch Must Be Given
To Shippers for Sole
In Food Markets

Chesapeake Bays $1,000 1000 fish,
ing guide boat industry appeared
last night to have been saved from
virtual extinction with disclosure
by Senator Radcliffe, Democrat, Of
Maryland that Maryland OPA au-
thorities had issued a regulation
allowing gasoline for pleasure boat
fishing if the catch Is turned over
to the boats captain for sale as
food.
The disclosure came as approxi-
mately 500 fishermen in 80 fishing
ports along the bay and its tribu-
taries remained idle and with no
assurances, until yesterday, that
they would get gasoline.
Senator Radcliffe said relaxing Of
OPA regulations had been ordered
by State authorities in Baltimore.
Under the plan, guide boat captains
will have to apply for commercial
fishing licenses with the State Fish
cries Commission. On returning
from the fishing grounds, catches
must be turned over to the skipper,
who, In turn, promises to place the
fish on the market. --
National OPA. however, held firm
to its stand that the pleasure cruis-
ing ban issued two weeks ago halt
ing all non-occupational operations
OF boats included guide boats. 1T
is the intent of this office to grant
rat1ons to commercial fishermen,
and guide boat CAPTAINS are not
supposed to get rations simply on
the strength of applying for Ii
cense as commercial fisherman"
a spokesman said.
OPA said it could not determine
at this time whether the MARYLAND
officials had gone beyond their au-
thority, but added that it planned
to confer this week with Leo Nc
Cormick. State rationing chief.
Officials of the Chesapeake Bay
Fishing Fair Association pointed
out the fishermen were almost en-
tirely dependent for their livelihood
on furnishing guide boats for fishing
parties. They added that approxi-
mately so per cent of the captains
were more than SO years old, beyond
the age when they could turn to
| other occupations Il.
Senator Radcliffe commented yes
terday that from time immemo-
rial Chesapeake Bay has been a vast
storehouse for seafood." He added
that now "the hook and line fish
ermen will have new opportunity
to catch fish and at the same time to
have made definite contribution to
the solving of the food problem"

Collection Of Scrap
Disappointing Here,
Co||ifIower Says
Conferences Called
To Try to Increase
Drives Effectiveness

Disclosing that collections of scrap
materials have been most disap-
pointing in some of the 66 civilian
defense areas here, James E. Colli-
flower, chairman of the District Sal
wage Committee, today reported that
efforts are being made to increase
the effectiveness OF area salvage
groups.
Meetings to improve the organiza-
ton OF these groups are being held
by area chairmen and salvage off,
cials, he said
Mr.. Colliflower pointed out that
the area committees were given the
$4,000 realized from the sale of
material collected in the salvage
drive here last fall. In return for
this, the area committees accepted
the esponsibility" of setting up a
continuous program OF scrap collec-
ton, he SAID.
1t is found now that number of
these area organizations have neg
lected this program he declared.
Explanation Given.
He said the breakdown in the COL
lection program might be due to re-
ports which have created the i'm
preston that steel mills have sufl-
clent scrap on hand, or to a feeling
that II the need Is great enough,
another concerted drive will be
staged.
The contrary, however, is true I"
he said. I'm order to assure a steady
flow OF these sorely needed mate
rlals, the operations of the District
Salvage Corps within every area in
the District must be effective as we'll
as continuous"
Mr.. Collifower pointed out that
while the intensified drive last fall
was Extremely satisfactory" it cost
the District Refuse Department,
which modified the manpower and
trucks, "in excess of $4,000"
Our Government, the War Pro-
duction Board and the Salvage
Committee feel that it is the pa
triotic responsibility and privilege
of the citizens within a given area
to effectively carry on the District
Salvage Corps program" he said.
If this is done, the further neces-
sity of specific drives will be elimi-
mated"
Depots To Be Set Up.
The program calls for the ap-
polntment in each area of a salvage
chairman and vice chairman. Suffi-
cient official salvage depots are to
be set up, with a sub-area captain
in charge of each depot. These
captains, in turn, are to appoint
block lieutenants to be in charge of
scrap collections in each block. In
some areas, this program "is being
most effectively carried out" Mr..
Collif1oWer said, but in other Sec
tions it has broken down.
The District salvage chairman
called on individual citizens to help
make the job of scrap collection
easier by not depositing tin cans
and trash in the official depots. The
depots are designed only as recep-
tacles for scrap metal, rubber and
rags, he pointed out.
He added that because of the
manpoWer shortage the District Sal
wage Committee can no longer pick
up small collections of salvage ma
terials. In the future, small orders
received at the central Office will
be referred to area chairmen, who
in turn will refer them to the cap
tain of the depot nearest the ad-
dress. The captain or one of his
block lieutenants will then pick up
the scrap.

Week of Intensive Study.
The ceilings were arrived at here
after week of intensive study by
the local OPA staff. Wholesalers,
retailers and representatives of the
food industry were interviewed and
co-operated in providing basic fig
ures. The ceilings were set finally
by determining the fair markup
which should be allowed a retailer
above his wholesale cost, after the
wholesaler, too, has been allowed a
fair margin. =.
Generally. this is the method by
which the retailer now calculates his
ceiling prices for the seven kinds of
fresh vegetables which have been
placed under so-called terminal
ceilings" These products are beans,
carrots, spinach, tomatoes, lettuce,
peas and cabbage. The difference
is that every retailer must figure
out his own ceilings and because of
the complicated factors involved, the
housewife has virtually no way of
knowing what the legal price in any
store ought to be.
Ceilings on perkhable products,
however, it has been pointed out,
are much more difficult to establish
because even in normal times the
prices may vary sometimes from day
to day. Under the terminal ceilings,
whereby basic prices are set at the
terminal point and markups are al
lowed for various kinds of whole
salers and retailers, dealers are per-
n.itted to revise their ceilings every
Thursday.

RICHARD CORNWELL ENTERS COMBAT ZONE

Richard Cornwell, son of John Cornwell. manager of the Dream Theatre, and former Nome High School youth, informs his father in recent letter dated from San Francisco, that he has been as- signed to an invasion barge, and has left San Francisco for parts unknown. presumably in the com- bat area of the Pacific.
 Richard, who is IS years old, and well-knoWn in Nome, left this city last March for the States, where he entered the United States Navy. His classification in that branch of service is that of fireman, first class, and at the time of writing his recent letter, he had been assigned to diesel engine work on the invasion barge mentioned.
 Since joining the navy, Richard has been a student of diesel en- zines in the naval school at A.mes, Iowa, and it was from this sta tion he was assigned to his present post.
