The General Maximum Price Re-
gulation, issued last April, fixed
the ceiling price for consumer sery-
ices, which include laundry and
dry cleaning services, at a price no
higher than the highest March
price for similar services of each
individual establishment in the
country, including Alaska. At the
same time, it provided remedy
for those individuals or firms whose
prices in March were too low to
enable them to continue operations.
That remedy was in the form of an
application or petition for adjust
ment, in which the operator could
set up his prices accordingly.
Last August Mr.. Rod Darnell,
proprietor of the Triangle Cleaners,
came to the OPA office in Juneau
and stated that he could not con-
tinue operating under March prices
and intended to publish notice
in the paper stating that effective
September he would increase his
prices. advised him to file an APP
plication for adjustment. I offered
the services of my office to him in
helping prepare the application for
adjustment I even wired to Wash
ington myself recommending that
he be given a temporary adjustment
while his case was studied.
Washington denied my request for
a temporary adjustment because
it had no facts on which to base
such an adjustment. ! again urged
Mr.. Darnell to file an application
for adjustment and supply the nee
essary data for Washington to act
upon. I instructed him concern
ing the information they would
have to have and again offered my
services in helping him prepare the
application for adjustment.
There. is no doubt that if Mr..
Darnell had filed his application
and submitted the required data
at the time, his application for re-

Major Victories

The campaign north of Naples, with Rome
the next Allied objective, progresses slowly.
But recent operations in the Mediterranean
and in White Russia constitute major vlcto-
ries because they have brought German IN
dustrial centers within short bomber range.
Around the clock bombing Of Killers Europe
has been going on for months. but around
the map bombing has been limited by 1he
hazards of long bomber hops. Because OF
this. industrial areas in eastern and SOUTH
eastern Germany have been turning out ar
maments with little fear Of block-busting.
September conquests c ng ed all this.
Around the map bombing moves much closer
to reality now that the Soviets have pushed
into White Russia west of Smolensk the Brit
ish have cleared the Apulian meadows AROUND
Foggia at the spur of the Italian boot and
the French have chased the Nazis from Cor
sica's Plain of Aleria.
Vienna, 71O miles from British bases, is
only 40 miles north of Foggia. Loaded bomb
ers can rise from ample Foggia runways and
within two hours dump their loads on war
production plants that line the Danube for
miles and make Vienna the heart OF an I'M
molested Nazi industrial district Within the
same two-hour flight distance are the war
plants of Munich and Budapest.
Northeast from Foggia Rumania's Ploesti
oil fields at 585 miles are $50 miles closer
to the Allies than they are from Sicilian
bases Lower Danube shipping and Bucharest
industries lie similarly within easy three-hour
flight from the newly gained Italian air center.
Adding half a dozen good harbors to the
Allied strength, Corsica has flat land only
in a coastal strip centered at Aleria on the
islands eastern shore. Swampy and malarial,
this strip may provide runways that will bring
Leghorn, La Spezia, Genoa and Nice within
an hours range of Corsica-based bombers.
Turin Milan, Marseiue and 700 miles of Eu-
ropes coast from the Pyrenees to Rome are
never more than three-hour round trip from
this Corsican position.
From new Russian positions west Of Smol-
ensk, all East Prussia's industries come within
two-hour bomber range.

Better Water Outlook

Altogether, the water situation is improved.
Tides are not sending as much salt water
as far up the Cape Fear river as last week.
The possibility of moving the intake from
Hoods creek to Kings bluff is somewhat bet
ter, the project being reported to have the
of Richmond. And to cap the
climax the water and sewer department are
to be placed on an independent footing, like
all big business, with its own system of ac-
counting and other reforms
Mayor Cameron believes this will benefit
consumers and may have some effect upon
tax rates in their favor. 1t is considered that
it may even favorably affect the water rates
themselves. Certainly it will tend to safe
guard the city's heavy investment in the water
system.
Wilmingtonians have more reason now than
in some years to find solace in their water
outlook, despite the continuing if decreasing,
salt content.

Could 1t Be That Way?

An idea has been prevalent among motorists
essarily produced fixed amount of motor
gasoline as a by-product, and that the more
aviation gasoline, the more motor gasoline
there would be.
In an effort to correct this misconceptions
J. K. Roberts, Director of Research of the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana, explains
the relationship between the yields of the two
products. He points out that before the war
the production OF aviation gasoline was small
compared to motor gasoline.
With the threat of war the industry shifted
its operations to producing maximum possible
amount OF aviation gasoline. This involved
new processes that steadily increased h e
overall ratio of aviation gasoline to motor
gasoline. On top of this, demands for fuel
oil have required increased production, more
or less at the expense of motor gasoline:
toluene for TINT and raw materials for syn
thetic rubber have also requireo stocks pre-
viously used for motor fuel, and the con-
sumption of motor gasoline by the armed
forces has further reduced the amount avail
able for civilian consumption.
In addition, it should be added that as o,,r
known supplies of crude oil are drawn upon
for war requirements and civilian needs much
faster than new supplies are being discov-
cred, restrictions on crude oil prices are such
that normal validating which keeps Up our
reserves is being discouraged and what

much of the potential increase here. And,
i, addition to handling troop movements four
times as great as those Of World War I, they
shared with the motorbuses the movement OF
millions Of travellers who found themselves
unable to use their private cars because OF
rubber or gas shortages.
There is touch of drama in this Come
back of the Champion, not only to relive but
to surpass the deeds Of his youth. But there
is also in it a profound lesson. We have seen
it demonstrated that railroad transportation
possesses an emergency expandibility which
is unrivaled among its competitors. This must
be basic consideration when the time comes
to formulate postwar long-term national
transportation policy"

Good Precedent

BY deciding to 60 it alone in establishing
wholesale farmers market, the City Council
has taken an important step in divorcing Will
mington from New Hanover county financially
and economically.
The decision to carry on alone in this single
project encourages hope that other similar
decisions will follow through which Whining
ton taxpayers may be relieved of the heavy
burden they now carry in paying approx
mately so per cent of the county's taxes in
addition to the entire city levy.
The ideal arrangement would be CONSOLE
dated city and county government This would
work to the advantage of the urban and SUBJ
urban population. But until it can be effected
through legislation the best substitute is the
gradual elimination of joint city and county
appropriations in which city taxpayers put
up the lions share of the money.
The Council has set an excellent precedent
by its action on the market project.

Splendid Work

The work done by high school girls in the
nursery class for children of working mothers
fills long-felt need.
Aside from the benefit derived by mothers
whose occupation requires them 10 leave their
children in the care of someone skilled in
childrens problems, the system is accomplish
ing far greater purpose.
Tiny youngsters are taught to enjoy social
contacts far earlier than would have been
possible few years ago. Instead Of having
a toy to himself, he is taught to share it
with another and to work out system of
mutual enjoyment. He is taught to care for
his personal needs.
These little fellows will have all opportunity
to grow up into more useful citizens by follow
ing the instruction given. Self reliance is
stressed and from reports emanating from
the child care centers, they are learning rap
idly.
Living in friendship with ones neighbor is
a prime principle of world peace If these
children are taught true appreciation of this
ideal, the program will have more than &C.
complished its purpose.

Raymond Clapper Says:
Republicans Are Wary
Of New Tax Proposals

groups. Taxes are severe. But Sc
we're measures are needed to pre-
vent initiation.
In that struggle the Republicans
are giving the country no help.
They are sitting down. They in
tend to leave it to the Admins
tration. If the Republican refusal
to cooperate prevents any tax in
crease as is probably to be the
case, then the country is left to
face the dangers of initiation.
You can't hold the Republicans
alone to blame. They are follow
ing the lead of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers which
this week registered opposition to
any tax increase. They are like
wise afraid of the sales tax, fol-
lowing the lead of Philip Murray
of the c. I. o., who threatened
the House committee with a gen.
eral wage increase demand from
all labor if sales tax is voted.
Pressure groups, the reluctance
of the Administration to go for
a sales tax, political fears, the de-
termination of politicians to play
it safe for election regardless of
what the situation requires, are
all combining to paralyze us on the
fiscal side at a time of crisis in
our struggle against initiation.
That is a painless invitation to
trouble.
