IDENTICAL PRICES

Except for this differential, house
wives in any one zone will pay
identical prices in all meat shops.
Sometime in the next few weeks,
similar cents per Pound retail prices
will be announced for beef, veal
lamb, mutton and their products
The new specific prices will re-
place those under the general maxi
mum price regulation, which fixed
all price ceilings at the maximum
charged by each individual retailer
in March, 1912.
Under the old system, prices var
led from butcher 70 butcher even
in the same town. The new program
establishes ceilings by zones, l3 of
which have been set up covering the
country.
The net result OF the new prices,
Brown said, will be that the house
wife will pay approximately the
same for pork as she has in the
past.

cause, they said, strikes and walk
outs similar to the one at the ice
plant are occurring too frequently
in the United States and are unfair
to the men riSKing Their lives IN
battle while some of the men safe
at home hold up production.
NEW LEGISLATION
Meanwhile in Washington, Rep.
Carl T. Curtis, r., Neb., introduced
legislation to extend the straight
time work week under the wage
hour law from 40 to 48 hours and
prohibit draft deferment for any
one guilty of absenteeism, taking
part in a strike, or work StOppage
of any kind" His proposal, in the
form CT an amendment to the Selec-
tive service act, would abrogate
union contracts which provide for
a work week of fewer than 48 hours.
No deferment would be granted or
continued for anyone working fewer
/ than 48 hours a week or drawing
overtime pay for work under 43
hours.
The fathers of Servicemen Friday
we're preparing telegramS to send
to California representatives in
Washington to rush through work
or fight bill and stop the union
labor practice of holding up pro-
duction of vital war necessities just
to put over some of the union
leaders pet plans
SECOND STEP
Second step in the plan Of the
group was to call conference in
the court house in Ell Centre at
1880 pm. Friday for all men in I'M
perial county who have sons in the
armed forces and all others inter-
ested.
Third step was to discuss a county
wide mass meeting for Saturday
night as a sort of opening gun in
starting their nationwide organiza-
ton of fathers of fighting men.
These union leaders and union
members are either for us or against
us" said D. E. Green, father of Ma
jor Edwin S. Green, of army flying
fame, and 1t. Joseph E. Green,
training as an army pilot. IF they
are American they are for us. If
they aren't American, they are
against us I'm farmer. I'm rails

one to stop this food on its way to

DON'T KNOW REASON
In the meantime officials of the
employees association at the Impe-
rial Ice company said they did not
know why the men had walked out
of the Ell Centre plant as their
three members in the place were
still working One of the officials
said he had received no written in
structiOnS as to what the strike
was about.
Employees who conferred with
Ruddy Thursday were quoted as
saying they had nothing against
their employers but wanted to have
the Teamsters union represent
them Officials of the ice company
received no written complaints eth

NO SKYROCKETING

The OPA, in effect, promised
housewives not only that there will
be no skyrocketlng of meat prices
but also that henceforth they will
know exactly, wherever they are,
just what butchers may charge
them for what they buy.
The pork price regulations will
place two sets ca ceilings on all
cuts in the retailer zones into which
the country has been divided One
set will apply to independent re-
tailers whose 1912 total sales volume
was under S250,000, the other to
independents with total 1912 sales
exceeding s250,000 and to all chain
stores. Thus there will be, as now,
a slight differential between the
two groups.

She was the first person in the

some of the center supervisors had
reached that point in their work.
And may we point out that Mrs.

Elmer Davis Warns
OF Early Enthusiasm
Over Tunisia Fighting
owl Chief Tells Public
U. S. Troops in Africo Are
Only Beginning Task

BY he Associated Press
Director Elmer Davis of the Office
Of War Information believes the
heavy fighting in Tunisia is still
some distance from decision in
every sector.
The public should not indulge in
premature enthusiasm over the
progress of American forces, he told
a press conference yesterday. since
they are embarked on only the be-
ginning of what will be a big chore. -
Neither, he said, should there be
peSsimism over Prime Minister
Churchill's statement that a Ger
man counteroffensive had wiped out
part, If not most, of the British
gains along the Tunisian coast.
There is nothing decisive in any
quarter the Owl chief said. noting
that Axis propaganda was pursuing
a cautious line in making any pre-
dictions.
U-BOat Claims Fantastic"
Turning to other matters. Mr..
Davis said German claims of U-boat
damage on Allied conveys in recent
days have been, 'as usual, fantastic
ally exaggerated"
However, a couple of conveys
were attacked and suffered some
losses. The situation is serious and
will remain serious throughout the
good weather. Submarine activity
Evening star., 1943-03-25

undoubtedly will be increased this
spring and so will our anti-subma-
rine measures, but we have a long
fight ahead OF us"
Mr.. Davis distributed a statement
detailing the extent to which owl
co-operates with the American
press. radio and motion pictures to
get war information to the people.
in reply to charges by Representa-
tive Otter, Republican. of Pennsyl-
vania that owl is deficient in max
ing use of existing information out
lets.
Congressman Otter seems to feel
there should be no OWL" Mr.. Davis
said, That is fair enough. if a
majority of Congress agrees with
him, but in the meantime we have
to go ahead and do the job we
are instructed to do"
Mr.. Davis said cooperation with
the press. radio and movie industry
has been owls policy from the
start and will continue to be-" In
1912 he said Owls domestic budget
was 100000 and he declared that
the agency would have to spend
many hundreds of millions of dollars
If 1t tried to do the entire job of
war information by itself.
$50 Releases a Week.
In working through existing
media. he said, Owl clears and is
sues more than $50 war news re-
leases a week prepared by Gov
ernment war agencies, and handles
an average of $500 queries a month
from the press.
Similarly. the main activity of the
Domestic Radio Bureau was de-
scribed as furnishing established
radio programs Similar co-opera-
ton between Owl and magazine
editors has resulted in the publi-
cation of 1,500 stories and articles
containing war information in the
last seven months, Mr.. Davis said
More than $l6,000,000 worth of
newspaper and magazine space will
be devoted by food advertisers alone
Evening star., 1943-03-25

to copy adapted to campaigns suE-
gested by Owl, he reported. and If
all other types of advertisers were
included the total probably would
exceed $100.000,Oo0.
Owl has entered the pamphlet
field. to the extent of preparing and
distributing IA pamphlets, because
1t believes that Ito certain extent
the people desire to have direct
Government messages Twelve
writer's are so employed, Mr.. Davis
said.
owl has the private agencies of
opinion to thank not only for their
cooperation in getting out the
facts, but also in the generous way
in which they have permitted us to
draw on them for top-flight per-
sonnet Mr.. Davis said.
The domestic branch is stated
by many key figures from news
papers, magazines, radio and ad-
vertising, many of whom have left
their private posts to join Owl at
a considerable personal sacrifice
