Hog Prices

being prepared to bring under price
control wheat, cotton, fresh fish, ap-
bles and other fresh fruits as they
come into season, certain oil-bearing
leeds, milk for manufacturing pur-
boSes and some other products not
how under control.
No ceilings will be ordered for
those farm commodities that have
not reached parity, in keeping with
provisions of the Emergency Price
Control Act, as amended last Octo-
ber. he added in an announcement
fead during hearing of the House
Small Business Committee before
which he and Mr.. Davis we're to
testify.
Packers Complaining.
Purpose of the hog ceiling, 1t was
explained, was to assure pork pack
ers prices consistent with the whole
sale and retail meat orders of OPA
Some packers had complained that
it was becoming impossible to buy
hogs at uncontrolled prices, kill and
process the carcasses and sell the
meat at prices OPA prescribed They
contended that the Price Control
Act passed by Congress last October
required OPA to assure reasonable
operating margins for packers.
In opposition, livestock producers
have protested that any ceiling on
live animals would curtail produc-
tion. and apparently the support
prices" which officials said Mr.. Davis
was prepared to announce were de-
signed to satisfy the producers.
What subsequent action on farm
prices might be taken under the
Presidents order remained proble-
matical, but authoritative sources
named cotton and apples as likely
subjects of control along with hogs.
The same sources cautioned
against any assumption that hog
ceiling necessarily would be fol-
lowed, at least Immediately, with
similar action on cattle.
Silent on Specific Action.
Early today. the only of1icial
statement on the Presidents order
was a brief comment from Mr.
Brown that he believed it "imple-
ments the Price Control Act Of Con-
gress and OPA policy"
Mr. Brown said he could not, at
the moment, comment on what spe-
cific action might be taken.
Another source said Mr.. Brown
had invited the President to issue
the order in order to give his agency
a clear mandate OF its duties or
such controversial subjects as hos
ceilings.
This course added that Mr.. Brown
felt that with congressional pas.
sage of the october Price Contro
Act, OPA ought 40 accept the price
standards of that legislation as 8
permanent policy and devote itself
to putting those standards in effect
rather than arguing about specific
policies in connection with farm
prices
Mr.. Brown, a Senator from Mich
igan at the time of that legislat alton
subsequently replaced Leon Hen
derson as OPA chief.
The october act specified that
farm prices should be stabilized at
either parity or the highest price
between January ! and September
is. l942, whichever was higher.

Nazis' Donets Thrusts
Checked by Russians
Enemy Loses 200 Killed;
Front Generally Quiet

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. April 9.-The Russian
German front was generally quiet
today, but along some sectors there
were sharp thrusts by both sides.
South of Balakleya, which is mid
way between Chuguev and 1zyum on
the Donets River, the Germans again
during the night attempted to as
sault Red Army positions, but lost
200 killed and gained no ground.
This sector includes an area where
the Soviet troops have a bridgehead
on the Donets. and the attacks by
the Nazis likely were designed at
trying to smash through and clear
up the western bank, but all their
efforts have failed.
Within the last "a hours the Ger
mans have lost mere than 500 men
killed in the sector.
At one spot the Germans drove
into the Russian positions Yesterday.
The Soviet troops regrouped quickly
and hurled them back to their
original positions.
South of Izyum a few weak at
tacks were launched against the
strong Soviet lines and the enemy
was repulsed, losing a large number
of their lnfantrymen, the Russians
said.

country after the war, l doubt if
there will be any place for his
type of craftsmanship.
Although most Americans have
always admired sales ability and
have been smart enough to put
something over on them, it is
improbable that door-to-door
selling will ever again reach the
stage that it had before the war.
Just as the medicine man, with
his uncomfortable gift of CAB,
disappeared from the American
scene, so will the salesman who
uses trickery rather than quality
merchandise to attract buyers.
We may have occasional visits
from unlicensed working my
way through college" magazine
and vanilla statesmen, but as dis
trlbution and marketing return
to normal most towns will pass
ordinances against house-to house
selling except under very special
conditions. And the federal gov
eminent, through the Federal
Trade commission, will be more
active than ever in protecting
the public against the type of
legerdemain which made the
house-tohouse salesman famous.
American craftsmanship will
continue to thrive as long as we
have free enterprise in this coun-
try, but the out-and-out faker
will find it increasingly difficult
to ply his trade after the war.

Governor Broughton has asked
every county in North Carolina
to fill quota of at least three
women to join the WAC during
the All States campaign, which

end of the campaign 10000 more
women will have joined this
branch of the services, to release
that number of men for combat
duty.

for 100000 WAC's for work in

and to do many other jobs. In

I can do is wear it to bed! And I
do need new evening gown. I'm
going to make a speech at my col
lege class reunion in February and
and oh, I had planned on a new
evening gown" She sat up, and be-
came defiant. And I'm going to
have one" she declared.
Esther began weeping again, but
it didn't do any more than provide
an outlet for her bitterness. A new
evening gown, she knew, was now
entirely out of the question. Even
if they could afford it she could new
er persuade Rod that she needed one
to wear for only one night. Now, a
nightgoWn, you could wear every
night. More practical.
Relations between the FairfaXes
were a bit strained during the en-
suing weeks. Esther trotted out her
two evening gowns, one Of which she

ment
SWELL" Rod approved. 1T looks
great. 1t does something for you"
Among other things" Esther re-
piled Jelly, ''it makes me feel like
the dickens"
Rod said nothing. He had been
reading the papers during the past
few days and had learned that this
alumni dinner and reunion which his
wife was attending was really some
thing. Many of the girls in her
class had married men who had
prospered and were famous, and it
occurred to him that, stacked up
against these females, Esther, in
her made-Over dress, might look a
bit dowdy. And if she looked dOwdy
that would reflect on him, wouldn't
it?
Esther departed the day before
the reunion and that night Rod read
in the papers that, because Mrs.
John Cannon, wife of the celebrated
piano virtuoso, had agreed to at
tend, the affair had assumed the
proportions of major social func-
ton and would be broadcast over
station ABC-XYZ.
So Rod, feeling qualms of guilt,
settled himself in his easy chair the
next night, tuned in and lent an
ear. He got big bang from hear
ing his Wife's voice come over the
air and at the conclusion of her
speech he felt pretty proud. In fact,
he felt so proud that he wished now
that he had bought her the eve
ming gown. He could imagine her
standing up to the nnILrcphone with
the eyes of several hundred fashion
ably dressed females watching her,
feeling like a plugged nickel in her
made-over thing. He began to think
of something he could do to make up
for the humiliation he had caused
her.
Rod blinked again. Esther laughed
merrily. Darling, I went up there
without my made-over. Imagine!
So I did the only thing I could. I
wore the lovely black nightgown,
and it really looked stunning. Oh,
Rod, you were right. A black night
gown Is more practical"
