D. {. Poultry Dealers
Doubt New Price EdicI
Will Increase Supply
See oPA Ceiling Order
Having Little Effect
On RetoiI Costs Here

Local poultry dealers ex-
pressed doubt today that the
OPA's latest attempt to eradicate
the black market by establishing
new uniform price ceilings would
actually bring more fowl into the
District.
At the same time, they pointed
out that the new maximum prices
established at the shippers level
would not materially affect prevail
ing retail ceilings. As a matter of
fact, they said, the only changes
they could find after a. cursory study
of the new order might mean small
upward revisions of current retail
ceilings, but they added that If the
new ceilings can be enforced, many
housewives will have to pay less
than they have been paying on the
black market.
Poultry Men to Meet.
A meeting of local poultry men
was being arranged for 3 pm. today,
at which time the full effects of the
new order were to be discussed. The
meeting was being called by Joseph
B. Danzansky, head of the poultry
division of the Merchants and Man.
ufacturers Association.
Mr.. Danzansky said he hoped the
OPA action would make it possible
to get poultry back into legal chan
nelS in the local market
This order" he said, goes long
way toward helping to solve the
problem. 1t seems to allow the city
dresser enough margin. The OPA
has now done all it can do to end
black markets. The rest is up to
the Agriculture Department."
Mr.. Danzansky referred to the
failure Of the department to estab-
lish price ceilings at the producer
level. He contended that until this
is done, it will be impossible to en-
force ceilings on shippers, whole
salers and retailers.
Fears Greater Scarcity.
One dealer said he felt reductions
in ceilings ordered on the shipper
level may drive some of the birds
even farther from Washington.
Even though wholesalers and re-
tailers get better markups." he said
the prices on most live poultry are
cut. This will give some shippers
even less reason than before to stay
in the legal channels"
This dealer also pointed out that
the producers price still is uncon-
trolled, and he doubted whether the
farmer would be much concerned
with any reduction in the shippers
ceilings.
Another poultry man here said
he did not see much hope that
the situation would clear up, but
he conceded that strict enforcement
of ceiling prices by the OPA might
help.
ITS chiefly a matter of supply
and demand" he said. mo matter
how we'll the poultry situation gets
ironed out. there will still be Z
shortage. Remember, people want
more fowl than they ever did before
And it just isn't available"
The OPA, in setting the new CELL
ings to become effective yesterday
said it regarded its order as "ar
essential part of the campaign tt

/, he predicted that department
heads would endeavor to adhere to
the wartime 48-hour week rather
than upset the schedule for one day.
There is no dispute between the
House and Senate over continuation
of the 2l6 per cent overtime raise
for 20 per cent increase In hours.
The controversy that sent the bill
back to conference in the House re-
lated largely to whether overtime
increase should be permitted in SAL
aries above $1,000. The only other
essential change in the new bill is
to give the low-salary brackets a
fiat $500 wherever the 216 per cent
raise amounts to less than that sum.
Asked whether the Capital Tran
sit Co. would readjust its schedules
in view Of the enforced temporary
return to half holiday Saturday,
Edward D. Merrill. president of the
company, said every effort would be
made to render service when it is
needed.
He termed it a serious job to
change a days schedules, but said
that the company would make what
ever adjustments are needed after
consulting with Government off,
cials.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
AUSTRALIA, April 23.-Nassau
Bay. near Salamaua, New Guinea,
received the principal attention of
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's airmen
who attacked half dozen Japanese
holdings along the Southwest Pa
cific front yesterday.
Mitchell medium bombers, sup
ported by Boston A-20s, bombed
and strafed islands in the bay and
villages along the south shore.
They caused heavy damage among
already depleted Japanese supplies
and equipment. 1t is in the Sala-
maua area that the enemy for some
time has been reported in a dcs-
perate plight, with many troops i'll
and poorly fed.
Another highlight of the day, as
announced in y today's noon COM
munique. was an attack by four
Japanese fighter planes on Fly
ing Fortress accommodating alone
over Kavieng, New Ireland, at mid
morning. The Fortress battled the
enemy for $50 miles, fought of the
planes and returned safely.
Another Bit bombed anti-air-
craft emplacements on the outskirts
of Nubia which is midway between
Madang and Wewak, New Guinea.
Northwest of Australia, a single
Hudson bombed and strafed Wal
loetoe village "a miles northwest of
Saumlaki in the Tanimbar Islands.
Another Hudson bombed the supply
area at Dobo on the Aroe Islands.

CHILDREN SHOULD NOT
BE OUT LATE AT NIGHT

An army officer who, as provost mar

teen age girls during these upset times.
This man who sees the side of life dur

Parents of young girls who permit
them to be out late at night without chap-
erones should be punished. He has wit

"What's the matter with FL Centro IA

never saw town where kids were allow

Neither are they all good. If they, want

and they go right ahead and raise thun-

MORE OPPOSITION TO
SECRECY IS DEVELOPING

That wrong policies cannot persist IN
definitely is being demonstrated by the
pyramiding objection to the admlmStra-
tons policy of secrecy during the Inter
national Food Conference at Hot Springs,
Va.
Originally. somebody-and ii is pre-
sumed that this was the President him
self-laid down the rule that aside from
the initial and final sessions of the meet
ing, news and radio reporters were taboo,
In short. the whole confab was to be Sc
cret until the prescription had been
evolved for handing to the public.
Now. however. not only is there evl-
dence of a rising tide Of wrath across the
country. but to make matters much
worse for the hidden-secrets authorities.
members of concerned Senatorial COM
mitteeS are demanding admittance. when
this was objected to. and effort to ar
range for lust the committee chairman
to be present brought on VoclterOuS op-
position from the other committeeman,
So it looks as if the sequence of logic
would be about as follows: If the com
mittee chairman can be present, so should
the other members Otherwise they could
not rule nteligently. If committees can
witness the proceedings, so should all the
Senate. else the Senators could not con-
firm committee recommendation.
If this applies to the Senate. then 1t
also applies to the House of Representa-
tives and if it applies to the members of
Congress, then why not everybody else
since this is government of, by, and
for the people.
The developments. therefore are worth
their weight in gold because they demon
strate within themselves the very reason
for the freedom of speech and press, and
comprise perfect example of how essen
tial these freedoms are to the security
and intelligent operation OF this country
of ours.
A wrong policy is a wrong policy. even
if it does take Americans quite spell to
find it out sometimes

A SHORT CAMPAIGN
civilian Allen White)

The Postmaster General. who is also
chairman of the Democratic national com
mttee gave out statement not long ago.
advocating short campaign. Then he
repeated il little later. II this admin
iStration had deliberately decided to
throw away the faith and respect of the
American people, the job couldn't be
done more competently than Mr.. Walker
is doing it,
If there ever was a time in the history
of this country when we needed TO delib-
crate. TO debate and consider pro and con
carefully and at full length the issues of
a campaign from every angle. this is the
year. We are going into the next pr2sl-
dental term facing the most important
issue that has ever faced the United
States: The question of foreign policy.
As matter of fact this country has
had no foreign policy since we set up
the Monroe Doctrine We have extended
our boundary 1000 miles east of San
Francisco We have bought Alaska. We
have taken Porto Rico and Cuba more or
less under our wing We have extended
our commitments as no other nation has
in the last hundred years. Yet we have
definitely decided that we want peace
and are not interested in backing up our
commitments in the Philippines and the
Caribbean with armamentS, guns and
planes. Only when we are attacked do
we hastily throw together the naval and
military strength that will back our COM
mitmentS.
What are we going to do about it? 1t
is grave question. Shall we scuttle the
Philippines. let the Japs run over Alaska,
cut the umbilical cord to Cuba and say
root. hog, or die" to Porto Rico Shall
Al
These and a score of issues dependent
upon the war. dependent upon our posi-
ton in the world, must be debated in this
sence of imbeclity would seem to be boil
ed down into the demand for a short cam
paign.
Millions of people in this country re-
spect the President Probably MAJ ority
of the American people are back of his
improvised foreign policy. 1t may even
become American foreign policy. But
the people must say so in the campaign
of IA. But also the President is doing
more to shake the foundations of respect
and faith of the American people than
all his most bitter enemies.
Public Dumbell No. l in Roosevelts
galaxy of grinning idiots is the man who,
in the face of the gravest crisis in the his
tory of modern civilization says, Lets
have a short campaign.
AL right, If a short campaign is so good
i thing, why have any campaign at all?
Why not jump the election?
Can YOU beat it? Even if this wasn't
to be an election for fourth term, with
all the violation of precedence that that
means, it would still be time for serious
reflection and earnest calm cOnsidera-
ton Of public issU'S. But add a fourth
term and then demand short campaign.
