Ga|braith Resignation
Clears 0PA Air.
Maxon Declares
Deputy Chief Is Silent
On Own Status at Detroit
Press Conference

Lou R. Maxon, deputy admins
traitor for the Office of Price Ad-
ministration, said in Detroit, the
Associated Press reported today,
that the resignation of J. Kenneth
Galbraith, deputy administrator in
charge of price control, probably
would clear the OPA air"
But Mr.. Maxon. who has differed
sharply over policies with the for
mer Princeton economics profess
sor, did not make it clear at a press
conference what his own future in
the organization would be, if he
knew. He denied, however, that
Price Administrator Brown had Of
fered him the post of general man.
ager, adding that even if it were Of
fered he was not sure he would ac-
cept it.
Both Mr. Maxon and Mr.. Gal
bralth insisted last week that one
OF them must leave OPA, and Mr..
Maxon was reported to have de-
manded complete control over pol
lcles and personnel, subject only to
the direction of MI. Brown.
Denies Food Charge.
Mr.. Maxon also took occasion yes
terday to deny the charge that he
had obtained special food rations for
his lodge on Black Lake near Ona-
way, Mich. This charge had been
made by R. j. Thomas, president of
the United Automobile Workers
(CIO).
Mr.. Maxon said the lodge was not
his property, but belonged to the
Detroit advertising firm he heads.
1T has been the property of the
company for the last II years." he
added. "Ihe application made for
food was not for May and June, but
for the entire year."
Mr.. Maxon explained that en-
ployes and their families used the
building for vacations. Informed
that he would be called Friday be-
fore Detroit food rationing board
he said: Il welcome such an investi-
cation. 1t will clear the air on this
thing once and for ALL"
Two Appointments Made.
The OPA internal situation, mean
while. had brought two temporary
appointments to key positions. Mr..
Brown announced that Austin C.
Hoffman and Donald H. Wallace
would take over price control for
the time being.
Mr.. Hoffman, a former professor
OF agricultural economics at the
University of Wisconsin, who has
been in the food price division since
July, 1941, will take charge of food
prices. Mr.. Wallace, an ex-teacher
Of economics at Harvard, has been
serving in the industrial manufac-
turing price division, and he will
direct price control for all commodi-
ties except food.
Mr.. Brown did not indicate Wheth-
er Mr.. Maxon would receive a new
post. Mr.. Maxon has had charge of
public relations. The Detroit ex-
ecutive has been particularly critical
OF professors" in OPA and of most
holdovers from the administrator
OF Leon Henderson. But Mr.. Maxon
denied, at his press conference, that
there had been any great personal
controversy between himself and Mr..
Galbraith."

Canned Milk
Rationed 10
Benefit Infants
OPA Surprise Order
Seeks to Conserve
DwindIing Supplies
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Rationing of canned milk be-
gan today on short notice.
The purpose, according to Office
OF Price Administration, is to reduce
all non-essential consumption and
to conserve limited supplies for in
fant feeding and for persons who
require canned milk in special diets.
Under the rationing, which started
at 1901 am. today, evaporated and
condensed milk were added to the
meats and fats program, but no
additional points were allowed. Six
teen points a person a week are
allowed for the purchase of meats
and fats, and canned milk now must
be included in this allowance.
1t will cost / red point a
pound. and OPA estimated infant
formulas will require about 7 points
a week.
Decreases Meat Bonus"
This, in effect, wipes out some Of
the meat bonus" which parents of
small children have enjoyed.
OPA estimated this years supply
of canned milk will approximate Is
per cent less than last years be-
cause of the diversion of raw milk
to other purposes.
Persons whose doctors certify they
need extra amounts may apply to
rationing boards for supplemental
rations, as alreday provided in the
meats and fats program.
No actual restrictions were placed
on the purchase of evaporated and
condensed milk for adult use, but
canned milk will take red coupons,
and most adults are expected to save
the coupons for meat, butter or
cheese
Big Cans Value Is One Point.
The point value means that the
common tall can, 141a ounces, will
cost one point The common small
size, 6 ounces, will be two for a
point. Since the minimum rationed
purchase is one point, however, any
one who buys single small can will
still have to pay a full point.
OPA said the order was issued at
the request of the War Food Admin
istration because production of can
ned milk has fallen Is per cent below
expectations and because of huge
Army, Navy and lease-lend require
ments. Officials explained one rea-
son for smaller production is trend
to divert milk into various manu-
factured products.
Rationing of canned milk has been
touch-andgo for about a year,
and many communities had volun-
tary rationing last fall. The situa-
ticU was erased for q while by re-
lease Of some Army stores and by
seasonal production gains.
Officials expressed belief that con-
siderable canned milk has been
boarded by consumers, but made no
estimate of these stocks.

Funds Sought
1oFight Rents
In Greenbe|t
Committee Cunvusses
All Residents to
Finance Suit

Opponents of rent increases
which went into effect yesterday
at Greenbelt, Md. today intensified
their efforts to canvass the entire
town for contributions to carry the
battle into court.
Martin Miller. chairman of the
Rent Protest Committee, last night
assured more than 80 residents of
the town at meeting in the Green
belt Elementary School that I'VE
have a much better case now than
we seemed to have when we started
a week ago."
He said members of the Baltimore
legal firm of Curran & Higginbot-
tom, employed by the committee
last week, met yesterday with the
Offlce of Price Administration in
Silver Spring Results of the hear
ing have not yet been disclosed.
Asks for Volunteers.
Declaring contributions have
reached only the halfway mark in
the s1,500 needed to pay legal fees,
Robert Porter, chairman of the
Collection Committee, appealed for
volunteers to aid his committee in
soliciting every resident in an effort
to obtain the remaining $3.50 before
June IS.
He asked those desiring to help
to get in touch with him after $50
pm. at his home, 2-F-Eastway.
The committee also decided to
hold dance June IL in the Green
belt Elementary School to raise
funds. Expenses will be taken from
the treasury of the Greenbelt Citi-
gens' Association.
Robert A. Dodge, a resident,
charged that town management
officials included his pension from
the Navy in his gross income in
clear violation of the law" He
added this was not done when he
first arrived.
Asserting his rent has been in
creased from s36 to $50 a month due
to including his pension in his gross
income, Mr.. Dodge said he intended
to pay only the original $50 a
month. During the past year, he
explained. his annual salary has in
creased from $500 to s2,236, in
Guiding overtime. while his pension
has remained the same-S900 a
year.
Hopes to Appeal Case.
THE Veterans Administration as
sured me-" Mr.. Dodge said, that
pensions should not be considered
gross income. In addition, Jack
Kyle, national commander of the
Regular Veterans Association, has
promised me that the association
will take my case to the Supreme
Court, if necessary"
Town Manager Roy S. Braden ex-
planned, however, that pensions and
all military allotments are classified
rs part of gross income under regu-
lations of the Federal Public Housing
Authority, which established the
new rental schedule in Greenbelt
about month ago.
pensions always have been con-
sidered gross income Mr.. Braden
said, land Mr.. Dodge's pension
should have been included in his
salary in setting his rent when he
first came to Greenbelt."
Mr.. Braden said that while rents
should have been paid yesterday,
an extension of 10 days usually is
granted.
