Esa fecha es de especial signif-

de Jorge Washington y sus valien-

abstraen hasta quedar desnudos,
en- su raiz mas pura.
Alguien ha sehalado, cierta coin
cidencia en- la poesia de Manuel
Ponce con la de Jose Gorostiza. A
mi estas vfrgenes, d~espegadas de
la TERRA, etereas y ell ritmo de
los poemas e incluso la arquitec-
tura general del libro, me trae
profundas resonancias albertianas,
Hablo, entiendase bien, de reso-
n~ancias, recuerdos o coincidencias
nadie de hablar preci-
pitadamente de influencias-, de
los angeles de Rafael Albert.
Mas de una vez me he acordado
a 10 largo del libro de Ponce, de
versos de Albert, como estos:
Angel de luz, ardiendo
oh, venl y con tn espada
incendia los abismos, donde yace
mi subterrGneo angel de las ME-
(blas.
Y como los angeles de Alberti,
que corren por ell subsuelo, "por
las canerfas olvidadas" Y cabalgan
hacia las nubes, que andan entire
restos Y obscuras ATTITUDES, las
virgenes de Manuel Ponce, "arras-
tran una sombra, habitan una SOM
bra" Y permanecen al viento:
Estatuas de sal, frias,
sobre desiertas ATTITUDES
Sc quedaran para escarmiento.
o en- IN ardor mistico, de libe-
raci6n interior, Sc quema como Ell
angel de luz de Albert, y Ponce
grita:
lVenid, distantes, venid!
AGA, palomas de fuego!
Mi soledad pide llamas.
La consuncion es por dentro.
Como los angeles de Albert, las
vfrgenes de Manuel Ponce estan
sacudidas por ell mismo viento, por
ell mismo temporal de llamas, dem
tro de este campo abstracto, ideal.
A wees este vendaval cesa, ell rit-
mo Sc detiene y adquiere una sere-
nidad ejemplar, una tersura en- las
"Virgenes caidas". Y de nuevo ell
impetuoso oleaje, en- ell mejor poe
ma del libro "Las Virgenes recon

Sobre ell mismo cielo, viven los

de Ponce, en- lucha apasionada en-
tire ell fuego interior, entire la Ia
ma viva y la inteligencia.
"Ciclo de Virgenes" es fruto de
esta batalla eterna. En- ella el poe
ia ha vencido por la inteligencia.
lie haria falta descender de nuevo
a la terra, encontrar la raiz del

al hombre para abandonar csc

Crimes Pile Up
Against Fugitive
AS Search Goes On
First Traces of Man
Who Escaped Deputy
Found by Officers

Crimes pied up against
Roy Rogers Tuesday and the
list of his aliases increased
as peace officers throughout
the west attempted to trail
the fugitive who escaped from a
Fresno county deputy sheriff il I'M
perial county last Friday.
Criminal records in California
show that Rogers has used the
names "Worley McMurray" and "R.

rect age, officers believe, when he
was booked at the Imperial county
Jail in Ell Centro last week. At that
time he gave his age as 38 years.
Officers believe he is 81 years of
age because of past bookings. He has
two upper front teeth missing, a
physical characteristic which should
assist in identifying him.

canned fruits.
The steady increase in the house
wives food budget during the last
year has been caused for the most
part by uncontrolled vegetable and
fruit prices. From May, 1912. when
price ceilings went into effect, and
January, l943 the retail prices of
all foods rose 94 per cent, but the
prices of foods not under price con-
trol-fish and fresh fruits and veg
etables-rose 27.2 per cent.
No figures are available for to-
matoes or peas, but from December
Is, 1912, to January IL, l943, the
price of green beans jumped 1873
per cent, and the price of cabbage
pit per cent. Arrival of the car
rot crop from California and
Southern Texas sent the price of
that vegetable down 21.7 per cent
during the month.
The figures for those three vege-
tables for the last year are more
evidence of the need
for price ceilings From January
13, 1912, until last month, the price
of green beans rose AL per cent:
cabbage 1871 per cent, and carrots
G0.3 per cent. The price of spinach
during that period-in the past
considered an inexpensive vegetable
rose 439 per cent.
The emergency order on green
and wax beans, cabbage, peas, car
rots and tomatoes will be in effect

OPA Regulates
Vegetables. Eggs

WASHING TON. Feb 23.-UP)-
The Office of Price Administra-
ton today announced permanent
wholesale egg ceiling prices which
are expected to result in some i'm
mediate reduction of prices to con-
sumers. but average round
prices of to cents a dozen high
er than at present.
The OPA'S action came shortly
after establishment of emergency
price ceilings on five fresh vege-
tables. The vegetable ceilings,
however, will not keep retail mer-
chants from taking advantage of
last weeks sharp price rises in an
ticipation of drastic rationing of
canned foods.
The permanent egg price ceilings
replace temporary ceilings which
have been in effect since October
3. The average wholesale ceiling
across the country for March,
April and May will be approx
mately 40 cents dozen.
CONTROL PRICES
The OPA said it soon will issue
regulations fixing the markup be-
tween wholesale and retail prices
of eggs. This will control consumer
prices.
Officials said the wholesale prices
of eggs for the winter, spring and
summer months will be higher than
last year, but that fall prices will
be about the same as in 194@. The
wholesale prices will vary from an
average of about 40 cents a dozen
during the spring months to about
48 or 40 cents during the high
priced period of November, it was
said.
The vegetable order, issued last
night, directs food distributors to
sell tomatoes, carrots, cabbage,
peas, and snap beans WAX or

farmers to maintain careful farm

future wheat crops. Excessive acre
age increases in the past, he re-
called, brought wind and water
