Meat Firm Asks Dismissal
OF Price Control CHARGES

Walter Brown u Sons, Inc, and
Gilbert w. Barber, described as
manager Of the firm, yesterday
asked dismissal of three indict-
ments returned last June, charg-
ing violation of Office of Price Ad-
ministration regulations on meat
sales.
In demurrers filed to the indict-
ments in behalf of the firm and
Mr.. Barber by Attorney Arthur j.
Hilland, the validity of the indict-
ments is attacked. 1t is contended
that regulations under which the
indictments were drawn are invalid
under provisions of the Emergency
Price Control Act because they are
not generally fair and equitable. I"
The demurrers further claim that
the regulations do not allow fair
and equitable margin for process
ing" and point to the failure of
OPA to provide maximum price
for livestock.
The demurrers also contend that
the Emergency Price Control Act
OF 1942 and regulations promulgated
under the act are unconstitutional

Sir John Dill Halls
Marshall 5 Report
|As a Proud Story

Field Marshal Sir John Dill, chief
OF the British Joint staff. today
hailed as "a proud story" the report
OF Gen. George C.. Marshall, Army
chief OF staff,- to Secretary Of War
Stimson.
The field marshal praised the
clear, simple language In which
Gen. Marshall describes the her
culean task which he and his able
assistants have accomplished during
the historic period under review"
THE report Is entirely factual and
has no frills," Marshal Dill said.
| 1T gives without fear or favor the
decisions which were taken (and
many of them were momentous de-
cisions) and why Nothing Is CLOSED
over. The naked, unadorned story is
there,
"f5o one who reads it can fail to
be impressed with the foresight
which has been displayed and With
the calm way In which early disas-
tiers were met and their conse-
quences overcome" Marshal Dill
continued.
Nor can one fail to be Inn
| pressed with the great gallantry
shown by ofhcers and men alike
in meeting the first unprovoked
assaults Of the Japanese and later
in the way they acquitted them
selves in Tunisia against some of
the best troops In the German
Army.
THE tale Of the orderly though
none the less rapid development OF
the mighty strength OF the United
States Army Is of itself . most i'm
! pressiye one, and one can gather
how immense must have been the
effort involved to insure = proper
! balance and sco-ordination.
But the report does not and can
not tell the whole story: The des-
perate conflicts OF opinions on STRAIT
egical, tactical and logisticai ques-
tions which had to be resolved In
arriving at the steady development
of effort, development which ]
firmly believe to have been In the
right direction. Neither great armies
nor great projects are born without
great travail, and, none Of the anxi-
cites and heart-searchings which
accompanied the great decisions dis
closed in this report can yet be
made to stand out.
Every American citizen who
reads thi sreport will, am conf
dent, be filled with pride and thank
fulness. Pride in the wisdom Of

Marshall revealed for the first time.
The transportation formerly a part
OF these divisions is now held in
pools to meet special situation.
The new tendency is toward small
specialized units to permit the rapid
assembly of exactly the type units
required for any type operation.
The report, with its accompany
Ing charts, is lnterspersed with dis
closures of new and little known
facts about the problems and diff
culties overcome in pressing the
war. For example, it was said the
Sicilian campaign was planned at
the Casablanca conference.
At the close of the Washington
conferences of May 1925. the deci-
sions of which cannot even now be
disclosed, Gen. Marshall said, he
accompanied Prime Minister
Churchill for closer survey of the
Mediterranean situation.
Then it was, he explained, the de-
cisions were taken regarding the
bombing of rail communications
through Rome and the August l
American air raid on the Rumanian
oil reflneries at Ploesti, which were
possibly rs per cent destroyed.
Reviewing in great detail the start
and finish of our North African
campaign, the report disclosed that
three days previous to the designa- :
tion OF November 8 as D-day,
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the AL
lied commander in chief, opened his
command post at Gibraltar. "Apro-
pos of Allied unity of purpose in this
war" Gen. Marshall added, ''it is
interesting to report that for the
time being he Gen. Eisenhower
commanded the Fortress of Glib
raltar."
Ell Alamein Detailed.
Before that eventful episode, the
report revealed for the first time
complete details of emergency meas
ures taken to bolster the British
retreat to the El Alamein line.
I'm this emergency" 1t stated,
1907 medium tanks and 80 self
propelled 1o5 nm. guns were rushed
to the Middle East from New York.
One transport loaded with 81 tanks
and 28 of the 105s was torpedoed.
In order to replace this loss a corre-
spending number were taken with
out explanation from the American
armored divisions then engaged in
maneuvers.
= Likewise, the report revealed the
forthrightness of Gen. Eisenhower
In accepting blame for the defeat of
American forces at Kasserine Pass
in Tunisia.
Our present tactical difficulties
resulted from my attempt to do pos
sibly too much, coupled with the
deterioration Of resistance in the
central mountainous area which be-
gan about January IT," he reported.
