Rigid Form Price,
Wose Levels ore
Ordered by FDR

WASHINGTON, April 0-(B
President Roosevelt said to-
day that dollars-and-cents CELL
ing prices probably would be
placed on all food commodities
which affect living costs. while
James F. Byrnes, economic stab
ilization director, said the OF
flee of Price Administration
might be able to present specific
ceiling price plans tomorrow,
following those now laid down
for meats.
BYRNES' ON HAND
Byrnes was sitting In on q
presidential press conference,
which dealt largely with the
chief executives new order de-
signed to help combat imitation
through more rigid restrictions
on prices and wages.
The President said the whole
problem resembles q four-.eg-
ged stool.
Food prices are one leg, wages
another, rationing a third, and
taxation and saving are the
fourth, he said.
An effort is being made, he
said. to prevent up and downs
and 10 Get on 4 more even levelS
using all four legs to prevent the
stool from falling over.
His executive order was Z step
in that direction, he said, but
Congress still has to provide the
fourth leg, taxes and savings.
Asked whether $4,000. 600.
900 is still the administration
goal on new revenue, as mem
toned III his budget message to
Congress, Mr.. Roosevelt said it
is the Administrations hope.
He was asked, also. how ma
terially he has increased the
powers given Byrnes, and Mr..
Roosevelt turned that question
over to Byrnes.
EXPAND AUTHORITY
The sterilization director re-
piled that he knew no material
increase except that he has re-
ceived greater authority to de-
termine questions that will arise
in the OPA and the War Labor
board as to border and hardship
cases. Such cases, under the
new order. he said, will be sub.
mitted to him. for consideration,
instead of to the President per.
sonally.
Byrnes said his power to is
sue directives is no greater than
the authority previously granted
him.

ed.
No, the President said, il was
a statement of policy.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he got his
idea of the comparison with 2
four legged stool from one Of
the group of farm leaders which
consulted with him twice in the
past fortnight.
RATION LEEWAY
In connection with rationing,
he suggested il should be applied
with what might be called q lee
way, since prices might have to
be changed from time to time,
depending on scarcity or plenty.
He indicated, too, that the ques-
ton of determining specific food
prices might be handled region
ally, locally, or by areas, 50 a.

BAT Thrills
targeAudiiente
Curtain Goes Up
Again Tonight

After viewing the opening
performance of the famous mys-
terry play THE Bat" in the high
school auditorium last night, all
of the 1900 spectators today
praised both director Jean Hub
bard and her splendid cast.
For the Juniors handled the
thriller so effectively that audi
ence shrieked through most of
the last act.
Acting honors were divided
by Elizabeth Darling. as strong
minded Cornelia Van Gorder,
and Flossie Ullrich, as Lizzie her
superstitious maid.
FLAWLESS ACTIVITY
Elizabeth's fine voice and
commanding personality made
her characterization of Miss Van
Gorder virtually flawless. AL
ways in character, she easily
passed for the 60-year-old wom-
an she played.
Flossie was a hilarious Lizzie
who kept the appreciative audi
ence laughing throughout. Pos
sessing an unusual flair for COM
edy, she made the most Of every
situation.
Others in the cast pressed the
two for acting honors. Andy
Good was superb as Billy, the
Chinese butler, while Adam Ben
nett was thoroughly believable
