year-old Akron, O., sensation, cap
tured the national girls indoor
tennis chamionship with ease today
by turning back defending titlist

in straight sets, 81, 6--3.
Playing a faultless deep court
game, Miss Fry was the master
throughout the match and ran out
the final set In five straight games.
Miss Lopaus apparently failed to
observe her opponents unbeatable
baseline tactics and elected to at
tempt to outdrive Miss Fry In the
opening set.
The New Yorker was slow and un-
able to get to the net and Miss Fry
won the set handily. In the second
set Miss Lopaus picked up speed and
had a 81 advantage in games be-
fore Miss Fry took over and ran
the set out.
Playing her last year as a girl,
Miss Lopaus was second-seeded al
though defending her crown. Miss

Denies OPA
.HormfuI

Washington, Dec. 3O-(UP)-Price
Administrator Chester Bowles denied
today congressional charges that the
OPA was hampering business, as
serting that business failures were
the lowest j." half century and that
profits of corporations and small re-
tail establishments were the highest
in years.
He filed a 10000 word reply to 26
specific charges against the OPA by
special house committee investi-
eating excess use Of authority by
federal agencies. The committee Is
headed by Rep. Howard w. Smith,
D., Va.
Bowles said the committee had
failed completely to understand
certain elementary facts Of price
control" in saying 1t should be adj
ministered so no person should be
forced out of business or required to
sell at a loss.
ITO require OPA to adjust every
maximum price so that no seller
would have to sell any commodity at
loss would compel prices to be fix
ed to cover the prices charged by
the highest-price, highest cost, least
efficient seller in every industry, and
to rise with every increase in his
cost of decrease in his efficiency"
he declared. Nothing more infla-
tionary could readily be imagined"
Bowles said the best defense Of the
OPA's use Of its powers was the fact
that out of 1897 court cases brought
against the agency. it has lost only
291.

Women Shot
In n. Y.Cof

New York, Dec. 30-(UP)-Dr.
Samuel Weinrib, 54-year-oid dentist,
shot and seriously wounded a
woman patient while they were sit
ting in q Greenwich Village cafe
early today during an argument over
whether they should end their
friendship, police reported.
The woman. Edna Shore, As, a
blonde, was taken to st. Vincent's
hospital, where she was in critical
condition from bullet wound above
the heart.
Weinrib, father OF two grown
sons, was found in the Mushroom
Of the cafe as he was about to drink
from a vial which he said contained
nitro-glycerine. Police rushed him
to a hospital, but when 1t was found
he had not drunk any of the fluid,
he was taken to a police station and
booked on felonious assault
charge.
Patrons in the cafe told police that
the couple was sitting at the table
in a quiet discussion when they
heard a ping" Looking up, they
saw Miss Shore slumped over the
table. A few minutes later Weinrib
stood up and said:
That's what a woman deserves
who would do thing like that to
me-"
A patron ran into the street and
summoned a patrolman.
After his arrest, police said Wein-
rib admitted the shooting and ex-
planned:
1--WE had a platonic friendship. I
wanted to end it and she didn't.
This was the only way"
Police said Miss Shore met the
dentist last night at his Office, where
she had been receiving treatments
for more than a year, and both left
for the cafe about IL p. m. The
shooting occurred approximately
two hours later.
Weinrib'S two sons. Leonard and
Morton, also are dentists, the latter
