.0PA Says D. {. Cafes
Have Good Record

Ceiling price violations in 260 res
taurants, representing 81 per cent
of the 480 eating places surveyed.
have been corrected in almost every
case, the District OPA reported to-
day.
Most complaints sifted by the
price panels attached to local ration
boards, 1t was reported, WERE cor
rected through conferences with pro-
prietors. In only one case, it was
said, did panel find it necessary to
refer complaint to John Laskey,
chief attorney for the District OPA.
% The survey was made to deter
mine how many restaurants were
complying with regulations COVER
ing maximum prices. Eating and
drinking establishments are not per-
mitted to charge above prices during

Price panel members made the
survey and, after the proprietors
were notified of the violations,
checks were made to see whether
conditions had been corrected. The
OPA said investigators now reported
Washington restaurants are now
complying with the rules virtually
100 per cent.
Response Of restaurateurs to the
price panel action has been most
encouraging" District OPA Director

pointed out. however. that the job
|of enforcing ceiling price regulations
in all retail places would be more
complete If price panels had more

Senate Urged 10 Pass
House Bill TO Repeal
Exclusion Of Chinese
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
The Chinese exclusion laws were
one step nearer repeal today with
submission Of 4 report to the SEN
ate recommending adoption of the
House-approved Magnuson bill.
Chairman Andrews of a Senate
immigration and Naturalization
committee, said as he filed the
report that "the tenacity and cour-
age Of the Chinese in their terrible
ordeal Of the last seven years has
impelled a respect that we are
proud to acknowledge"
1T has always been the policy of
the United States to help China in
her struggle against encroachment
upon her independence and sover-
eighty. and we are now brothers in
arms In that cause. It is fitting,
therefore. that the incongruity of
discriminatory legislation, inconsist-
ent with the dignity of both our peo-
Piles, should be eliminated"
The MagnusQn bill would place
Chinese on an immigration quota
basis which would permit the annual
entry Of los persons. Chinese also
would be made eligible to become
citizens
The citizenship provision, Attor-
ney General Biddle told the COM
mittee, affects directly only approx
lmately $4,000 Chinese residents in
this country, but will create good
will extending to the millions "in
China who are fighting at our side. ="
