Valley Cabbage Growers
Maintain Legal Prices
Shippers indignant
Al Reporfs'Here'of
Illegal Marketing

Imperial Valley cabbage
growers and shippers were
indignant Wednesday at er-
ron2ous reports that they
were asking above the estab-
li5hed ceiling price for their prod
uct.
Tie price for imperial Valley cab
bsge Wednesday was between 1925
and $3.50 a crate The ceiling price
was said to be $3.50 but growers
and shippers did not know whether
the ceiling price meant fob. load
ing station or not. They decided
not to ask the ST a crate that the
demand warranted until the ceiling
p.i1e Was interpreted for them
"Wednesday, therefore, they quoted
the price unchanged from the day
before which was 1925 to $3.50
The cabbage season was in its
peak this week with the situation
somewhat complicated by the fact
that a freight car shortage has been
in effect for some time. There were
said to be more cars available We'd
nesday, which relieved the situa-
ton.
1t is estimated that the cabbage
acreage in the valley this year to-
tailed between 1900 and 1,400 acres
and that approximately 400 acres
remain to be harvested.

PAGING RIPLEY
Empty Plane Stays Aloft

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-(UP)-
A four -motored Liberator cargo
plane. which the Army has dubbed
the Flying Dutchman of the Skies, "
wandered over the Atlantic and
Mexican Gulf for 20J0 miles with
out pilot or crew aboard and fl
nally crashed on a Mexican noun
tain February 8, it was disclosed
today.
The plane was abandoned by six
crew members and two passengers
off the Florida coast when it be-
came unmanageable, and was last
seen heading in the general direc-
tion of Norway.
How it got to Mexico to bring
to an end there, one of the strang-
est chapters in aviation history is
a matter of conjecture.
SIX RESCUED
Six of the occupants were res
cued. One person was apparently
drowned and the eighth occupant
is unaccoUnted for.
Pvt. Stanley Gutowski, radio op-
orator, Bayonne, NJ, lost his life

about four hours in the water.

The plane took off from Southern
Florida shortly after midnight
February 9, for South America.
About 80 miles cut the two pas
SengerS noted a bad tail flutter
The plane lost altitude rapidly
dropping from 5000 to $500 feet
and the occupants began jettison-
ing the cargo
Lieut.. r. C. Ulmer, pilot, turned
the plane around, fighting to keep
its nose up, and headed for Florida.
He ordered his companions to pre-
pare to bail out, since a safe land
ing seemed impossible.
ORDERED JUMPS
The plane continued at about
$50 miles an hour, vibrating from
the tail flutter. Thinking he was
over the Florida coast, Ulmer or
dered his companions to jump
Then he turned the plane back to-
ward the sea, set the automatic
pilot for level flight to keep the
plane from becoming a menace
ashore, and jumped also.
1t turned out that Ulmer had
mistaken shallow coastal waters
for land and the eight occupants
landed in the water,
Each had Mae West" life pre-
servers. Gutowski lost his in de-
taching his parachute. For about
three hours he clung to Lieut. A. E.
Lloyd, both floating on the lat
ter's preServer GutoWSki became
ill from swallowing sea water and
could swim no longer. Lloyd held
him for another hour until he was
seized by a cramp and lost his
hold Gutowski disappeared.
Three o. iour hours later the six
survivors were rescued. but no
trace of Brannon was found.
Lightened by the loss of cargo
and personnel, the plane flew on
into the night. In some unknown
manner its course became reversed.
After a flight of 10 or II hours
without the aid of human hands it
crashed with its fuel tanks empty
on a Mexican mountain 1000 miles
distant.

OPA Announces New
S'ass,es in Supplies
For Eating Places

WASHINGTON, Fob. "a.
UPN-Tho Office of Price
Administration announced
today that supplies of ration
od foods to restaurants. h0-
tells. and other eating establish
montS will be elaShed March ! by
approximately the same amount as
the cut for home consumers.
OPA officials estimated the c,lt
will be slightly less than so per
cent, and said it will be made on
the basis of the amount of rationed
food used and the number of per-
sons served during December, 1912
Their allotments of processed
food will be based on a maximum
allowance of six-tenths of ra-
ticn point for each person served
during December, 1912. This COM
pares with approximately five
tenths of a ration point per meal
allowed individual holders of War
Ration Book 2.
DIFFERENCE EXPLAINED
The difference, OPA said. repre-
sents an allowance for the fact that
restaurant owners cannot calculate
with the same accuracy as the
housewife the amount of various
foodstuffs they will be required to
use for each meal because of a
higher waste factor and fluctua-
tions in the number of patrons.
The OPA fixed the following av-
erage point values for computation
of institutional allowances: canned
and bottled processed foods, dried
beans. peas and lentils, II points
per pound; frozen foods, l3 points
per pound, dried and dehydrated
fruits, soups and soup mixtures,
l3 points per pound.
FIRST PERIOD

restaurants, hotels and other eat
ing establishments will cover

incentive payments kept conSum-

He told the editors that he need
ed their support to secure an in
formed public opinion.
He said he favored continuing
paying overtime after 40 hours of
work because "in the midst of to-
tai war we should not tamper with
the rules of the industrial Sys-

should be continued into 1914 so

dent of non-party conference held
here last week to seek means OF
bringing about Gandhi's release.
Churchill's reply was conveyed
through the viceroy, the Marques
of Lint!ithgow. 1t said:
THE government of India decided
last August that Mr.. Gandhi and
other leaders of the congress party
must be detained for reasons which
have been fully explained and are
we'll Understood.
REASONS STILL EXIST
THE reasons for that decision
have not ceased to erist and His
Majesty's government endorse the
determination Oh the government of
India not to be DETECTED from their
duty towards the peoples of India
and the United Nations by Mr..
Gandhi's attempt to secure his un-
conditional release by fasting.
THE first duty of the government
of India and His Majestys govern
ment is to defend the soil OF India
from invasion, by which it still is
threatened, and to enable India to
play her part in the general cause
of the United Nations.
"S"TlieTe can be aao justification for
discriminating between Mr.. Gandhi

sponsibility therefore rests entirely
with Mr.. Gandhi himself

had been rolled back to a battle
ground within three miles of the
vital pass, breaking for the time
being at least the threat to the
Allied lines in west-central TuniSia,
involving a possible flanking man
euver against al the troops east OF
Algeria.
WEATHER STORM
Reports from North African head
quarters indicated the Americans
and Britons had weathered the
worst of the storm by taking COM
mand of situation which had criti-
cal potentialities.
American Liberator bombers of
the Middle East command joined
the struggle revolving around Tuni-
sia with a daylight raid on Messi-
ma, Axis base in Sicily. Plastering
the harbor area and ferry slips,
they left fires among Axis installa-
tions and scored a nit on a ship.
In washington the navy an
nounced a flareup of air activity in
the Solomons and a Japanese air
raid on the American base at ES-
peritu Santo in the New Hebrides
islands. U. S. airmen struck five
times at the Japanese in the Solo,
mons and the Japanese retaliated
with two mild raids.)
REDS DEIVE ON
In Russia the Red army was driv-
ing hard against Orel, last strong
hold Of the old German line in the
south. Soviet troops broke through
Nazi defenses, crossed a water bar
rier and captured several villages.
The growing weight Of the Allied
air offensive against Germany was
disclosed by an announcement that
the Royal air force had dropped
more than 100000 tons of bombs on
the Reich, Italy and occupied Eur
ope.
Meanwhile Rommel's retreat from
his newly Wn ground beyond Kas-
Serine Pass Indicated he had failed
to mass enough strength for a con-
tinuing drive.
British tanks had given a good
accounting of themselves in the
battle about four miles from Thala,
but it was agreed that neither side
would maintain the present lines.
Either Rommel must be pushed
back to KaSserine or the allies must
give up the Thala line, according
to a dispatch from United Press
Correspondent edward w. Beattie.
