Food Prices Decline
196 in Large Cities,
Il Labor Bureau Finds

Retail food prices In large cities
decreased an average Of / per cent
between May is and June 15-the
first decline since May. 1912, &C
cording to figures issued by the
Bureau Of Labor Statistics.
The reversal in the upward trend
In food costs, cited by the President
in the message accompanying his
veto Of the Commodity Credit Corp.
bill, seems to be due to several
factors, Bureau experts said yes
terday.
Among these are the establish
ment Of ceilings, the rollback on
butter and meat prices and the
seasonal lower prices for fresh vege-
tables and fruits.
The bureaus monthly survey,
which covers a long list Of commo-
dities priced in more than 1900 food
stores In Sc cities, shows q general
drop in prices Of vegetables and but
ter, and a "spotty" reduction in meat
prices.
An average rise in food costs Of
IL per cent was reported between
mid-April and mid-May, and 23
per cent between March and April.
The bureaus preliminary figures
are not broken down by individual
cities, hence no data is at present
available to show the trend Of Dis
trict food costs between May Is and
June IS.
On May IS, the District food index
stood at 1925 per cent Of the 1885,
1899 average. Food costs here have
risen approximately As per cent
since January, 194l. base period Of
the Little Steel formula.
The decline in wholesale prices
provides additional evidence Of the
downward trend. According to
the bureau, wholesale food prices
dropped 90 per cent during the week
ending June rs. and 18 per cent
during the preceding week.

ment Of the dispute between the
carriers and their employes-which
Is function, I venture to believe,
entrusted exclusively to the Emer-
gency Board.
THE procedures you suggest are,
in my judgment, entirely unwork-
able in the circumstances of this
proceeding. except insofar as they
may be ef1ectuated through arbi-
trary action.
There is no sound basis, grounded
in available facts, for declaring in
this Nationwide industry that all
wage rates below a uniform desig-
mated level involve substandards Of
living; nor is there any basis for
recommending tapering adjustments
in so-called related job classif1ca-
tions.
Sees Act Jeopardized.
Determinations Of this character
would be lacking in factual support
and they would tend to be con-
strued as establishing absolute ma
tional standards and thereby pro-
mote inflationary adjustments for
the economy as whole"
Mr.. Sharfman also told Mr.. Vim
son that the procedure he suggested
would remove the adjustment of
railway labor disputes from the
agencies established by the Railway
Labor Act and would thereby jeop-
ardize the procedures and machinery
of that act"
There is real danger that such
an outcome and such an approach
would gravely impair the effective
prosecution of the war" he added.
Board Ceased to Exist.
Mr.. Shsyfman said that on COM
pletion of the investigation and the
submission of the report the emerg-
ency board as such ceased to exist.
Personally. as you know his let
ter went on, Il am now serving on
another emergency board, which is
investigating dispute involving
the operating employees Of the rail-
roads.
I'VE have not been reconstructed
or reconvened by the chairman OF
the National Railway Labor Panel;
we have not been requested by the
President to serve him further in
connection with this dispute, and no
authority is vested in me to call the
board together for further action" "
He replied in response to ques-
ton that the next move, if any, is

Allied Aircraft Output
Triples That Of Axis,
Experts Here Say

Aircraft production of the United
Nations now is about three times
the Axis output, while American
factories alone are turning out twice
as many bombers and fighters as
our enemies, Government plane ex-
perts estimated yesterday.
In May, this country produced
slightly more than 7,l00 planes Of
all types, according to revised
figures. When all reports for June
are in, the month is expected to
show an improvement over May,
but not so large an increase as had
been expected. Offlcials had called
on factories to make 5000 aircraft
last month.
Axis Output Passes Peak.
Ofhcials estimate that production
OF Germany, her satellite states and
the occupied countries, at 1900
planes q month, with roughly three
fourths being combat craft. jap
anese output Is placed between
1900 and $500 month, while pro-
duction Of Italy is estimated at 600.
While no figures were given on
British and Russian production, an
ofncial said United Nations output
was approximately triple that Of the
Axis. Hence, production of our two
big allies must about equal that OF
the United States-or about 1000
q month.
German and italian production,
the official said, probably has passed
the peak because of Allied bombing
of production centers and combined
shortages of materials, manpower
and gasoline to fly the planes. He
said Axis nations undoubtedly. have
Offset some production decrease by
the recent defensive shift from
bombers to fighter planes. Our plane
output, however. has grown each
month despite the increasing en-
phasis on heavier and heavier
hombers.
Nazi Units Disorganized.
Production officials are convinced
heavy Allied bombing Of Axis fac
tories, particularly those in Ger
many, are seriously Gripping pro-
duction. WPB Chairman Nelson re-
Gently told a closed House commit
tee hearing that Nazi productive
capacity was being disorganized
very effectively" He said the
thorough bombing of one Nazi CEN
ter .ects production over the entire
cour ~, because that city's fac
tories make parts for munition
plans elsewhere.
Meanwhile, 1t was learned that
Wendell Lund. former head of
WPB's Labor Production Division,
has been assigned by Mr. Nelson to
find enough manpower to operate
to capacity plants making aluminium
forgings and extrusions for aircraft.
Forgings currently are the biggest
bottleneck to plane production, it
was said.
Mr.. Lund has been given the
names Of plants suffering from
manpower shortages and will leave
soon to start his work. He has been
given the title of special assistant
70 Mr.. Nelson.

Waterbury Cases on APP

Counsel in two local cases ap-

court to the State Supreme Court of
Errors went to Hartford today to
SHOW cause" why the actions should
not be dismissed from the higher
court for want of jurisdiction. -Four
cases, including the local parking

brought by Charles Latin against
Nicholas Apalucci and others, have
been selected as "test" cases to de-
termine the constitutionality Of the

cision declaring the court set-up as
made by legislative act of 194l to

the action was instituted before the

Jap SUBMARINE
TOBE EXHIBITED
Unusual War MementO Is
Coming Here to Stimu-
late War Bond Sale

In Japanese hands the two-man
Suicide" submarine which will come
to Waterbury for public examination
on May IL proved an ineffective
weapon. It's mission during the
sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was a
failure. In the hands of It's Ameri-
can captors 1t has become very
potent weapon, indeed, for waging
war. 1t has promoted an average
sale OF $4,000 In War Bonds and
Stamps for every hour 1t has been
on exhibition.
The sub began its tour OF the
principal cities Of the United States
last October. Since then 1t has
travelled from one coast OF the coun-
try 20 the other. Everywhere those
who saw 1t have bene so enraged
by this concrete symbol of NipponeSe
treachery that they have produced
substantial sums for the prosecution
Of the war. Many OF the bombs
which American submarines are
sending into japanese hulls have
been brought and paid for with
funds raised by the public exhibit
ton Of this craft.
The sub has been carefully pre-
pared for It's public shoWings. Many
Of It's original fittings, torpedoes
storage batteries, engines, etc, have
been stripped to reduce weight. A
lighter sub is, of course, easier to
transport. In place OF the engines,
exact replicas OF much lighter ma
terials have been installed. Life
sized dummies OF Jap sailors In
authentic uniforms man battle sta
lions so that those who examine. the
sub view a scene similar to what
they would have viewed had they
been on hand when the pig boat
was captured.
