Business Executive
will Direct 0PA's
New Consumer Unit

Reagan P Connally, New York
department store executive, has
been appointed director of the
newly Consumer Goods Di-
vision of the Office of Price Admin
istration, General Manager Chester
Bowles announced in declaring that
wartime price regulations will be
redrafted to follow more closely
standard business practices.
Mr. Connally is the second busi-
nessman named this week to high
position of price policy in the OPA.
Earlier, Mr.. Bowles had announced
appointment Of James F. Brownlee,
president of the Frankfort Distil-
leries, as head of the agency's entire
price section.
Mr.. Connally is president of Inter-
state Department Stores, a chain
with retail outlets in large number
of cities. He started his career as a
clerk in a general store in a small
Texas town.
Mr.. Connally will be in charge OF
the rewriting and simplification of
price regulations applying to depart
ment stores, dry goods stores and
other retail outlets selling clothing,
household furnishings, hardware and
similar consumer goods. The work
of his new division formerly was
scattered among a number of OPA
sections.
1--WE want to make compliance
easier and price control more ef-
fective,' Mr.. Bowles said. I'VE have
chosen Mr.. Connally because he has
the training for this assignment and,
equally important, he has strong
convictions of the imperative need
of holding the line on prices against
all pressures.
In taking Office, Mr.. Connally said
he would rely heavily on the stores
themselves to help make price con-
troll work. He added:
"The primary sources and the
manufacturers and the distributors
Of consumer goods are as keenly
aware of the dangers Of imitation as
any group in America"

Brazil Soen 10 Dispatch
Army Abroad, Dutra Hints

Gen. Enrico Gaspar Dutra, Min
lister of War of Brazil, indicated last
night that a Brazilian expeditionary
force soon would be headed over
seas.
Gen. Dutra said at a press con-
ference that Brazil is preparing for
every eventuality, but he could not
say where, when or with what type
Of troops his nation would take
more action.
That, he explained, was for the
Brazil and United States Govern
ments to decide and to determine
the opportune moment for Brazilian
overseas participation.
Brazil has been aiding the United
Nations cause with coastal patrols
and by supplying strategic mate
rials.
Emphasis was given the southern
republics desire to step up her aid
to the Allies with announcement
that Gen. zenobio da Costa and
Gen. Alcio Souto are expected to ar
rive today in Miami en- route here

|Quezon, Over Radio,
Warns the Philippines
Against Jap Promises

President Roosevelt today sent
birthday greetings to Manuel L.
Quezon. president of the Philippine
Commonwealth, and expressed con-
viction that "in the not too distant
future your country and people will
be freed from our common enemy"
The head of the Philippine gov
ernment in exile is IS today, and in
broadcast to the islandS said that
if any in the Philippines takes seri-
ously the promise Of Japan to make
the islands independent, he should
examine the Nipponese pattern for
independence in Korea, Manchu-
ria and the occupied provinces Of
China. IA
Independence will come to the
Philippines, and "the time of re-
demption is not far off," said Mr..
Quezon, but the broadcast empha-
sized that 1t Is to the United States
and the United Nations that the is
lands must look for true freedom.
OF Mr.. Roosevelt's broadcast of
last week pledging establishment of
the Philippine Republic with the
defeat of Japan, Mr.. Quezon as
serted:
President Roosevelt makes no
promises lightly. He spoke with the
power and might of the strongest
nation on earth, standing behind
every word he said. " -
THE speech of President Roose-
welt Is the best gift that you and
can receive on this anniversary of
my birthday. - My last word to
you today is to keep your faith in
President Roosevelt and the Ameri-
can people"
President Quezon also received a
birthday message from Gen. Dou-
glas Macarthur which, asking God's S
blessings, added: May He preserve
you for that coming great birthday
Of the Philippine Republic
The Quezon family spent the day
at their summer residence at Sar-
anac Lake, N. Y. Mr.. Quezon's
broadcast was short-waved from
San Francisco.

Similarly, he said, the turnover
rate at the Army Air Forces annex
at Gravelly Point is 1911 per cent
higher than in the District.
These turnover figures are merely
one indication of the adverse effect
of these high fares on the morale
and efficiency of war service en-
ployes, In the opinion of the de-
partments (War and Navy these
high fares are detrimental to the
effective prosecution TO the wal
effort" Col. Barron asserted.
Most persons using the bus lines
are civil service employees in the
lower salaried brackets, Col. Barron
pointed out. About 55 per cent of
all War Department civilian en-
ployes receive a base salary OF 81 ,44O
year or less, and about 80 per cent
receive base salary of not over
81 $50 year, he said, adding that

Comdr. r. F. Randolph of the office

told Of a similar civilian turnover
at the Navy's Arlington annex, and
said that 1t was the belief of the
Navy Department that this condi-
tion was due to bus fares.
- Motion Overruled.
After Gen. Lewis testimony
E. Barrett Prettyman, special coun-
sci for the Capital Transit Co.,
moved that the generals testimony
be stricken on the ground that it
was being given "second-hand.'
Commissioner Patterson overruled
the motion and ordered the hearing
to proceed.
At one point, after Gen. Lewis had
been cross-examined on his personal
knowledge of the nearby transpor-
tation situation, Col. Barron jumped
to his feet and declared that cracks
and sarcasm are not necessary"
Inc nearing was called after
charges by both war agencies that
transit companies were exacting ex-
cessive rates for service between the
District and nearby Virginia. Sec
retary of War Stimson had asserted
that "glaring inequities" permeate
the entire system and that the
companies have enjoyed tremen-
dous increase in net profits.

9Th Italian Army Destroyed.
The heavy toll inflicted on Axis
forces during their brief defense Of
Sicily was emphasized in headquar-
ters announcements.
1t was stated that the entire Ital-
ian 9Th Army was destroyed during
the campaign, at least half or the
soldiers donning civilian clothes and
deserting, filtering back into the vii
lagos and hill areas of Sicily.
More than 10000 Italians were
captured, killed or wounded.
Officers said the Germans lost two
complete divisions, killed, wounded
or captured, and a large amount Of
heavy equipment including an un-
stated number of Cotton Tiger tanks.

The loss of the 9Th Army makes
a total of five armies Italy has lost
since the beginning of the war. The
1st, 5th and 10th were destroyed
during the African fighting. The
9th disintegrated in Russia.
The 9th Army originally was COM
posed of two corps, comprising
300, 1000 men with 1,700 guns and $50
tanks. presumably, both manpow-

preciably in previous campaigning

D. {. Liquor Dealers
Prepare 10 Enforce
New Price Ceilings
Washington's liquor dealers today

Washington's liquor dealers today
were prepared to meet the new price
ceiling regulations which go into
effect August 80, following a meet
ing at the Hotel Statler last night.
Detailed instructions on how to
comply with the new rules were pre-
sented by John L. Laskey, chief at
torney for the District OPA, who
told the dealers the markup ceilings
resulted from public indignation
over soaring liquor prices and other
practices among the trade.
Dealers were warned the OPA was
aware Of an evasion in some quar-
ters whereby customers were made
to buy wine along with certain
scarce brands of whisky. He said
his agency would arrest such vio-
lators.
To End Unfair Practices.
The regulations, Mr.. Laskey point
ed out, were imposed for the benefit
OF most of the dealers against the
unfair practices of few. The new
ceilings became necessary, he point
ed out, chiefly as a protection
against uncontrolled prices on the
large number of unfamiliar brands
which sprang up after ceilings were
imposed on the established brands.
Concern over unequal distribution
OF stocks among the retailers was
expressed at the meeting. The OPA
counsel said that under present
regulations there was nothing his
agency could do to assure each
dealer his fair share of supplies.
He pointed out that such control
was impossible without rationing.
Rigid Enforcement.
Enforcement of the new liquor
ceilings, Mr.. Laskey said, will be
rigid. In addition to the OPA in
spectors who will check observance,
the OPA attorney said his Office was
depending on the public to notify
OPA authorities of possible viola
tions. He pointed out that all
stores will be required to post their
ceiling prices and asked that the
public report failures to comply with
this regulation.
I'VE have found the public very
helpful in, this respect on other
ceilings" he said. I'm fact, with
the help of consumers In checking
obvious offenses, our inspectors have
been left free to work on backroom
practices. Fortunately, there aren't
many of these in the District" Il
