Block Price Control

New Orleans has worked out an inter esting experiment in enforcement of price ceilings Under civilian defense auspices, block organizations are cam paigning for pledges from house holders to abide by all rationing and price con trol relations and to report any viola tions they may discover
 The public generally is averse to snoop-- ing, and many housewives consider 1t unWiSe to offend merchants by asking too many questions. But with everybody cooperating, for patriotic as well as selfish purposes, much might be accomplished.
 Unless this or some similar scheme proves workable, rationing and price control will not function. Even this great nation cannot maintaing the bureaucracy that would be necessary to police the Sit uation without consumer cooperation

Patience is a virtue today whether waiting for cut of meat or a train, When it comes to picking up your joint or chops or duck, you get in line and like it. You also stand in line, as ever, at the train gates. There is one difference in the train line though, for the New York Gen. tral lets men in uniform go through first at the Grand Central gates, then the civ ilians. This is fair enough, since men III uniform are assured seats before others. The way it is worked is this. Side gates are opened for armed forces men, before regular passengers are allowed to board trains. The New York Central also an nounces that they will soon have special ticket window just for men in service. There is now priority, however, for Pull man service, and all take their chances here

ords for steel plates for ships, had an experience of this kind once before.
 Back in 1894, the Carnegie company was also charged with deceiving the government. Fur thermOre, the charges against it were almost identical with those made by the Truman Commit tee and the Justice Department today.
 At that time Charley SchWab, later head of Bethlehem Steel, was superintendent of Carnegie, and when called before the House Naval Affairs Committee, admit ted most of the charges. Schwab was one of the founders of the Navy League, organized by heads of the big steel companies to pro- mote bigger Navy, and Carnegie at that time was engaged in making steel armor plates for the Navy battleships.
 DECEIVING UNCLE SAM
 The charges against the com pany included: Justification of re- ports and manipulations of tests, similar to the present charges.
 The grand jury, in Pittsburgh, after indicting the company itself, refused to indict company officials. The result is important. Under the law a cOrDOratiOn cannot he sent to jail. It can only be fined. Individual officials can be jailed, but in this case mere fines will be paid. The Truman Committee is waiting to see whether these fines can be deduct ed from cost-plus contracts and showed on from Uncle Sam to pay himself.

which, for these moderns, underlies for them both life and art.
 Contrast all this with the millions of men, marching and dead, who have laid doWn-or are willing to lay doWn-their lives on battle fields because of some great pur- pose to which they were devoted. Very often these men have had but very little color in their lives-save the scarlet stain of blood and the blue of their bruises-but they have had plenty of purpose in their hearts. You cannot tell the modern soldier that life is a thing without pur- pose. He is where he is. doing what he is doing, because there are things that he values more than pleasant ness and safety.

Views Of The Press

General Jacob L. Devers succeeded the late Lieutenant General Frank M. Andrews as commander in that area. He is pioneer in mechani- zation of the United States Army, and prior to his assignment In Eng land he had completed a survey of the European, Middle East and African theaters. Under the present Setup these commanders might op- crate in close harmony through consultation; but such a method has its shortcomings and pitfalls.
 Genral Henri Giraud stated the problem recently in these words: These is certain reaction of one front on the others. It is important to fight at the same time on the North Sea channel, on the Mediter- ranean, and on the Russian front. Europe is at the moment a fortress. If 1t is to be penetrated it must be attacked, and attacked at several points,"
 For such simultaneous action we should recall the lesson of the last war when the Allies fought with limited success under separate com mands until Marshal Foch was named supreme commander. Thou sands of lives may be wasted through a divided command. In the begin ming Well-laid plans of that kind of command might go well for a few hours or days, but the time will come when some one person must m ake decisions instantaneously. There will not be time to consult and discuss; orders mast be for mulated at once and transmitted promptly to the subordinate leaders of invasion forces that may be striking at several points.

What to do With this food price control and rationing business to make it work is still the country's and the administrators most en- barassing problem child-worse, even, than trying to figure out how to make John L. Lewis stop behay- ing the way he does.
 The two-billion- dollar subsidy proposed to the White House by A. P. of L. and c. I.

MT. Dorang consulted a Penn sylvania state policeman who had served with his son in France, but who assured him that there was no Jap in their outfit. The policeman suggested that when the Jap arrived he would take a great pleasure in pinching the phoney.
 When the Jap did arrive, he be- gan talking very intelligently with the Dorang family about his dead alleged comrade, when suddenly a motorcycle pulled up in front of the house, and the cop came inside. The family expected an immediate arrest.
 Good Lord" yelled the cop, it's Tokie!"
 It was Tokie Slocum, a Japan ese-American, to whom the PreSi- dent gave the pen with which he signed the bill giving citizenship to Japanese who fought in World War l.
 'Tn France" explained the policeman afterwards, i've never considered Tokie a Jap. He was just another American fighting side by side with his buddies.'
 When Pearl Harbor came, how ever, Tokie Slocum was interned along with thousands of other Jap-Americans, many loyal, some not, one fourth of them children. He has since been released, to- gether with others who have prov en their unquestioned loyalty-but not until after the FBI and the Army and Navy have made thor ough investigations.

Selected Poem
NEW ENGLAND (Elizabeth Jane Astley in the Christian Sclence Monitor)

New England's got superior skill, And if at dawn you come awake You'll find the sun like red lake Falling over every hill
 You'll find the birch with new gown, A catkin mantle of green brown, And naples looking at the sun Through scarlet blossoms just begun. But take New England any time, Sunrise, noon, or ink of night, You'll see at once with half an eye New England's got superior sky, Whatever constellations roar Through other heavens, we have more. And if it's smells you want, like white Llilacs toppling in moonlight, Or If it's sounds you never heard Like the rare fleet call of the oven bird, New Englands neither smell nor sound; New England can't be written down, You have to know that, hour by hour, Blue sky predicts a thunder shower, May means April, June is apt To have February snap.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Big Boy


 Sons voice changed at age of 10. Now he is 13 years old, eight feet nine inches tall, 155 pounds, strong in mind and body, but I am worried that he may become abnormally large. (Mrs. K. w. M)
 Answer-You see, Ma'am, I am uncertain what you meant t osay- perhaps you meant to say five feet nine inches tall, which is plenty tall for boy 13 years old. I advise you to consult the physician who administered the hormone treat ment for cryptorchidism when the boy was five years old. If that phy- sician is now now available, con- suit any good physician and inform him of the boys history.

to those Dy Whlcn Germany grlppeQ Latin America and even the U. S. A.
 After the auto ride, the entire question was threshed out in meeting with Vice President Wal lace, attended by Crowley, At torney General Riddle, Nelson Rockefeller, Assistant Secretary of Commerce Wayne Taylor and As SiStant Secretary of State Dean Acheson.
 The issue was whether the United States should sanction deal by which American Cyanamid, hay ing had previous monopoly ar engagements with the giant Nazi cartel, ]. G. Farben, should now take over the German drug, dye and chemical companies in Mexico and operate them as monopoly.
 Leo Crowley rode to this meet ing in the same car with Assist ant Secretary of State Dean Ache son and Attorney General Riddle. During the ride he kept straight poker face. He knew that Ache son and the State Department were batting hard in favor of the American Cyanamid monopoly in Mexico. But he did not tell Acheson that in his pocket at that very moment he had a letter from the President of the United States opposing the State Department and siding with Crowley against the American Cyanamid monopoly. CROWLEY SAWS LIMB
 In fact, Leo said nothing about his letter even after the debate began in Wallace's office. He let the conferees get away out on a limb. Nelson Rockefeller went to bat vigorously in favor of the monopoly program. So did Wayne Taylor, Jesse Jones' as- sistant secretary of commerce.
 They argued even more strong ly than Acheson that American Cyanamid should be given the former German companies in Mex ico.
 But" replied Crowley, still not seen the President, "what are we fighting for? Are we fighting
 for free competition, or for Nazi
 monopoly. How do we know
 that Cyanamid won't go back
 to its old dealings with I. G. En of let the various Mexican com panies do business with any
 American drug and chemical company they want to? We don't have to give the business all to one company"
 The Vice President and At torney General Riddle supported Leo 10 per cent. But they could not convince Rockefeller, Taylor and Acheson. Finally, as the de- bate continued, Crowley remarked:
 "Well, I have in my pocket a note from the President which
 may settle the matter" And he pulled out a memo addressed to
 Wallace.
 The President had put himself definitely on record against the proposed monopoly. That settled the matter.

AS OLD AS SHE LOOKS

Adjacent to the bowling greens are tennis courts. There are play CTS wear even less than most folks imagine. And so my bowling crony, good old Barnacle Bill, God rest his soul, had frequently to bring my eye back to my bowl by re- minding me that "a woman is as old as she looks, but man is not old until he stops looking"
 Seriously, now, believ| woman is as old as she looks.
 Whether she is sixteen, thirty six or flfty-six a woman should recognize the tell-tale signs of pre- mature anility and adopt counter active measures before the manifes- tations become noticeable to others.
 Old age is essentially nutritional deficiency.
 The most frequent early mani festations of nutritional deficiency which spell old age to the ordinary observer are CD a state of chronic fatigue or tired feeling and de- sire to drop down and relax when normal folk want to do things or go places; CD a f1abbiness of the entire musculature, voluntary and involuntary muscle Gas of the heart, arteries, gastrointestinal tract), and a poor posture and tendency to slump or sag; (3) an unhappy, mel ancholic, mopish outlook and atti- tude; (4) graying of the hair; (5) wrinkles in the skin.
 All of these tell-tale signs of ap- preaching anility are manifesto tions of nutritional deficiency, as I believe, even though we have not yet discovered the secret of eternal youth.
 Having in mind the propensity of certain charlatans for pirating on observations in this column and distorting them into fantastic pur- port, I hesitate to add any more specific suggestions, but I must ex- plain that the nutritional deficien- cies responsible for these manifes- tations are in my opinion chiefly calcium (and phosphorus) deficien- cy,, vitamin D deficiency, iodine deficiency, vitamin B complex de- ficiency, particularly deficiency of pantothenic acid and ribof1avin (two of the entities or components of the vitamin B-complex).
 So far as may be feasible in talks to follow we'll endeavor to sort these deficiencies over and identify each with it's particular manifesto ton. AS a rule, however, whenever there is sign or symptom or a manifestation of deficiency of any single element in nutrition there are other deficiencies along with it. For instance, when premature gray ing of the hair indicates deficiency of pantothenic acid (calcium pan tothenate), one of the entities of the natural vitamin B complex, it is practically certain that there are also deficiencies of one or more of the other entities of the B-complex and so it is more effective to boop the intake of the entire B-complex at the same time the pantothenate is taken than it would be to take pantothenic acid or pantothenate alone.

Bread, "the staff of life," is truly
worshipped in certain parts of the
world. In Morocco, for example,
it is considered unholy to cut bread
with a knife, and in mountainous
areas of Asia it is treasured so
highly that it is wrapped in silk
and locked in a strong box.
