mile from railroad" to racetrack
already has resulted in mutuel

quarter daily average of the recent

0PA to Reduce
Liquor Prices

WASHINGTON, May 12.-(UP)-
The Office of Price Administration
today speeded work on specific dol
lars-and-cents ceilings on whiskies,
gin and other hard liquors as part
of a determined effort TO reduce
substantially their high cost.
Because the new prices still are
in the embryonic stage, officials
would not estimate the approximate
savings to consumers. Some quar-
ters estimated that the proposed
ceilings. along with other restric-
tions about to be placed on liquor
sales, might cut the price as much
as 81 a quart on some items.

asked the war department for per-

appropriated funds for this and
