Matter OF Opinion!
OPA Called bureaucratic" Inconsistent by
Some, Praised by Majority of Residents
Reports League of Women Voters
Following Survey

High praise for the work being
done by local War Price and Ra-
tioning Boards in Connecticut was
expressed by an overwhelming ma
jority of the people interviewed by
the Connecticut League of Women
Voters in its recent survey of public
opinion on imitation and the OPA.
Preliminary returns, announced to-
day, show that IS per cent of the
people questioned consider the local
baords fair and impartial while
only IA per cent thought there was
favoritism. "a per cent rate their
services reasonably prompt, 6 per
cent thought there were needless
delays.
In contrast to the approval of the
work of the local boards, there was
greater difference of opinion and
lively comment on the OPA in gen.
eral. The majority felt that the
OPA has done a good job on rent
control, a fair job on distributing
rationed products, and fair-to- bad
job on controlling prices. On rent
control Sc per cent said the OPA
had done a good job, 26 per cent
said fair, 7 per cent said bad. and
II per cent did not answer. On dis
tributing rationed products, A per
cen tsaid fair, 26 per cent said good
Is per cent said bad, and per cent
did not answer. On controlling
prices, At per cent said fair, SO per
cent said bad, and per cent did
not answer. An controlling prices,
At per cent said fair, SO per cent
said good, and per cent did not
answer.
Almost everyone agreed that the
rise in the cost of living Crent, food,
clothing, furnishings, etc) had been
at least moderate" al per cent? if
not large" (55 per cent?. Only 2
per cent thought it had been small.
and per cent had no opinion. This
seems to tie in, the League said
with the peoples belief that.a poor
job has been done in controlling
prices.
General comments on the OPA
were about equally divided. Prac-
tically all of teh adverse criticisms,
however. were directed at the ma
tional OPA rather than at the state
On one side of the
fence were those who said in no un-
certain terms they thought the OPA
was bureaucratic, a waste of the
taxpayers money" needs a house

those who said they thought OPA
had made some mistakes but on
the whole was doing a good job

the difficulties under which
it functions, such as 'the impos-
sible conditions of high defense

Rotioning
Goes Tougher

Washington, July % = (UPD =
An increase of three ration points
per pound for seven frozen foods
fruits, berries, green beans. Lima
beans, cut corn, peas and spinach
and one point per pound for TOM
alto juice beginning August l. was
announced today by the Office of
Price Administration.
The new ration points will apply
to blue stamps R, S and T which
become valid August l. There were
no point value changes in such
regular canned foods as corn, beans
and peas
The validity period of blue stamps
R, S and T will be from August
through September 20. Originally A
series of three stamps was valid
only for a month, but more recent
ly the OPA has been allowing a
one-Week overlap period. This over
lap now is extended to three weeks.
The point values of frozen fruit
juices in the new table are cut
from one third to one half.
Point values at which home can
ned foods may be sold are listed for
the first time. Home canned foods
of any variety are assigned a value
of eight points quart, or four
points pound, when sold under
the processed food rationing pro-
gram. This is approximately one
half the average point value of
commercially packed foods.
The SO per cent increase in point
value Of the seven frozen products
is necessary to slow down the flow
of these items into consumer hands.
The current supply will have to last
until the 1913 pack is available.

Preliminary figures on the sur
vey, reported to the state board of
the League of Women Voters at a
meeting in Hartford on Monday,
showed that almost two thousand
people, from all walks of life, have
been questioned to date.
The survey was made to find out
what Connecticut citizens think of
the OPA, whether they realize the
seriousness of the imitation menace,
what methods they believe should
be usd to control it, and how many
understand and accept their per-
sonal responsibility as consumers
and as citizens in helping to con-
troll imitation

Although no airplanes will be
used, Mr.. Woodcock said that aud
lble signals will be given to simulate
two flights of enemy bombers. The
first will be assumed to come from
the southwest, splitting at the New
York border and striking the towns
in the Stamford and Danbury warn
ing districts almost simultaneously.
The path of the theoretical raid
will continue easterly with half of
the bombers striking in rapid sue
cession the towns within the warn
ing districts of Bridgeport, New
Haven, Old Saybrook and New Lon
don while the remaining bombers,
which appeared over Danbury, will
follow a course so as to attack the
towns in the warning districts of
Waterbury, Middletown and Nor
Wich.
Approximately one hour after
these planes have disappeared, sig
nails will be given in other sections
TO simulate another large flight OF
enemy planes attacking from the
east. This group will sweep over
communities within the warning dis
5ricts of Putnam, Willimantic, Hart
ford, Windsor Locks and Torrington.
Each district will be alerted to this
imaginary attack of planes travel
ling between 200 and 300 miles an
aour, Mr.. Woodcock said.
The statewide test follow daylight
aeld exercises held in each of the
IA warning districts to test the War
Council program for transmission OF
mutual aid to the districts. In the
course of the trail on August
mutual aid, if needed, will be dis
patched by the State Operations
Headquarters from parts OF the
state which are not under attack.
Mutual aid includes the use of fire
and other equipment and peronnel
from districts unaffected by disaster
in districts that may be in need
of such equipment.
In a memorandum to local war
council officials Mr.. Woodcock en-
phasized that all industrial plants,
office buildings, and commercial es-
Establishments are requested to par
eticipate in the statewide exercise
whether thy are open or closed on
that day. Mr.. Woodcock also pointed
out that an actual raid might occur
while such establishments were clos
ed and hence it is important that
their Air Raid Protection services
be ready to meet any emergency.
Management and sivilian defense
officials at industrial plants were
also requested to have incidents that
will utilize all of their plant pro-
lection facilities, including protec-
ton units, engineering services, and
emergency medical units. In add
ton Mr.. Woodcock suggested that
at least one major incident be
scheduled in plants calling for aid
through the local Control Center.
Incidents in cities and towns, Mr..
Woodcock said, should also be
planned to give drills to all services
such as Emergency Medical Services,
Demolition and Rescue Squads.
Bomb Reconnaissance Agents, Gas
Officers, Utility Repair Squads, as
well as Air Raid Wardens, Police
and Fire groups.
During the exercise Mr.. WOOD
cock requested that personnel and
equipment participating in the in
cidents be dispatched within town
and city limits. He discouraged
