men.
Subsidies were responsible for a
large part of the furore over OPA

they will prove less provoking now
when the legislators are shown
that the new $100,000,000 subsidy
plan may bring the cost OF living
down 10 within two per cent OF the
Sept. Is. 1912, level.
OPA General Manager Chester

agency on the eve OF the reconven-
ing OF Congress and revealed that
the cost of living today stands Al
per cent above the level OF a year
ago. But he promised to carry out
Congress- directive TO get 1t down
TO a year ago by:
/. Cutting it 23 per cent through
the new subsidy program on apples,
oranges. onions, potatoes, lard,
vegetable oils and peanut butter.
2. Reducing it further by new
overall vegetable program soon to
be completed which will bring the
