 Mail Is Vital
 Mail of all kinds is vital to the spirit of fighting men. Every of ficer who has inspected our Army and Navy postal facilities overseas has reported that thousands of fighting men disregard mess call when it conflicts with mail call, and get their letters first. Officers at our large military and naval sta- tions report that the spirit and ef- Iiciency of their men receive dis tinct lift when mail is distributed, and that a delay in mail service caused a decided decline in spirit with a consequent letdown in eff ficiency.
 A disconsolate soldier or sailor who thinks he has been forgotten at Christmas obviously is not at his best So the gifts MUST be mailed on time so that they can arrive on time. il
 Rules For Mailing
 Rules for Christmas mailings to the fighting forces overseas were made public in June for the guid- ance of early shoppers. They in- clude.
 The parcel must not exceed five pounds, and must not be more than IS inches in length or 36 inches in length and girth combined. It should be marked Christmas par eel" so that it may be given special attention to assure it's arrival before December 25.
 Not more than one parcel may be mailed in any one week to the same member of the armed forces by or in behalf of the same mailer.
 The parcel must be well and strongly packed, in a container of metal, wood, strong fiber board, or similar material, then wrapped in strong paper and tied with twine. The cover should be such that it can be opened readily for censor ship. The contents should be pack ed tightly.
 Perishable goods. such as fruits that may spoil, are prohibited. h. toXicants, inflammable materials such as matches or lighter fluids, poisons, and anything that may damage other mail also are prohib- tied. Gifts enclosed in glass should be substantially packed to avoid breakage. Sharp instruments, such as razors and knives, must have their edges and points protected so that they cannot cut through the coverings and injure postal person. nel or damage other packages. Since the armed forces are being plentifully supplied with food and clothing, the Army and Navy recom- mend against these as gifts.
 How To Address Addresses must be written clearly "iiO NSliiIiCOOiJ. III dQultlOIi tO IIlt return address of the sender, a par eel for an Army man should show the name, rank. Army serial num- Der, branch of service, organization, Army post office number, and name of post office through which the parcel is routed. A typical address for an Army man:

being fully utilized and luxury serv-
ices had been eliminated, laundries
should be willing to accept new
accounts II facilities were available
Mr.. Hetzel commented, however,
that local laundries reported they
had already eliminated luxury serv-
ices and were still behind in their
work. He said it would be foolish,
therefore, to require them to take
on new accounts, except to replace
lost customers.
Most Washington laundries have
taken no new accounts for months

Stalled Until Fall
BY the Associated prass

BY the Associated Press
Legislation increasing the Govern
ment,s cash contributions to de-
pendents of servicemen was passed
by the Senate yesterday and sent to
the House.
Approved without debate, the
measure would increase from S62 to
s68 the total monthly allowance for
a wife and one child and would
boost the allowance for additional
children from $40 to sll a month.
In addition, it would provide that
the Government pay all of the first
months dependency allowance,
though after that time a serviceman
would contribute $22 and the Gov
ernment S28 toward the basic
amount of $50 allowed for wife
without child.
Final congressional action is not
expected before autumn as the
House recessed until September IA
without acting on the bill.

Foreign Broadcaster
Quits in Protest al
'Censoring' by owl
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 9-Charging
that the Office of War Information
had "emasculated" his weekly short
wave broadcasts to Italy, Luigi An
tonini. president of the Italian
American Labor Council said yes
terday he would discontinue the
broadcasts in protests.
Mr.. Antonini said he refused to
make a transcription for broadcast
over short wave because the owl
had censored the meat of my
speech" A passage, in which he
called on Italy TO strike for freedom,
and in which he asserted that
strikes in America proved that
democracy still existed, was deleted
he said.
Ed Johnson OF the overseas
branch of the owl denied that
the passage had been censored, and
said it had been marked for dis
cussion"
1T was not censored" Mr.. john
son said. The part marked for
discussion was the reference that
all Americans are free to strike at
will. We have been very careful in
giving the whole truth about the
Smith-Connally Act. When
Mr.. Antonini didn't give what we
thought was the whole truth re-
garding this situation, We marked
it for discussion with him
Mr. johnson said that Mr.. Anto-
mini refused to discuss the matter
with the owl "and stalked out"
Mr.. Antonini charged that the
Owl frequently had censored his
broadcasts. He said the broadcasts
had been arranged by the OWL after
the CIO and the AFL had selected
him as spokesman The council
which he heads claims to repre-
sent 100000 union workers of Ital-
ian origin.
Our complaints to Elmer Davis
have been of no avail" he said
The Owl. overseas branch includ-
ed, looks to me like a liability to
democracy and to America. I re-
fuse to broadcast for the Owl until
the present mess is cleaned up"

New Mark up Rules
will Allow Price Rise
In Some Food Items
BY the Asscciated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Price advances on some grocery
items have been authorized by the
Once Of Price Administration, but
ofiicials emphasize that the ceilings
will not rise beyond price levels of
April s, date OF President Roose-
yelt's hold-the -line order.
The changes will result from three
fixed markup regulations, issued
yesterday, covering most foods, both
dry and perishable, sold by inde-
pendent and chain grocers and by
wholesalers.
Effective August 5, the new mar
gins we're adopted primarily to meet
food dealers demands for q simpler
food pricing system. They are per-
centage markups which dealers will
add to their net costs.
On most canned goods the house
wife will rot pay more, an OPA
spokesman said. However, he esti-
mated the new pricing system would
allow an inciease of l to / N cents
pound On rice at independent
stores, and about / cent in chain
stores; some increase in frozen fruits
and vegetables In chain stores, a
boots OF about cent each for No. 2
cans OF berries and fruits Except
pineapple, peaches, pears and juices
in chain stores, and q slight chain
store increase in pickles and relishes.
Other Items Under Study.
Changes will be made in COM
munity- wide dollar and cent CELL
ings where necessary to reflect the
changed mark-ups, but the COM
munity-w wide ceiling system will be
continued anc extended into other
cities, OPA said
No change from present dealer
markups-and hence no change in
consumer prices-will be made at
present in most of the canned
goods OF heaviest sales volume
corn, green beans, peas, tomatoes
and tomato juice, peaches, pears,
pineapple and fruit cocktail.
OPA said those items still were
under study" but that no increase
could be granted on them without
violating the hold -the-line decree.
The War Food Administration,
meanwhile, announced it would sup
port canner prices of the 1943 pack
of 10 major vegetable products at
| IS per cent of Gamers net ceiling
prices.
The support program is designed,
the VIA said, to eliminate risks
that might otherwise prevent maxi
mum production of canned vege-
tables this summer.
Purchase Pledge Given.
Products affected include canned
tomatoes, tomato Juice, tomato pulp
tomato paste. sweet corn, snap
beans. green peas, lima beans, beets
and carrots.
The VIA said it would support
the prices by purchasing from GER
tined Gamers any quantities Of the
products the latter may offer until

Dispute Of Musicians
And Record Makers
Goes 10 WLB Today

BY the Associated Press
The year-old fight between James
C. Petrillo's American Fedora ton of
Musicians and the electrical tran
scription companies will come be-
fore the War Labor Board today
with Mr.. Petrillo taking the position
that there is no labor dispute and
therefore the WLB has no jurisdic-
ton
Joseph A. Padway, counsel for the
musicians, said he and Mr.. Petrillo
would be on hand for the hearing
The musicians president said he
had no quarrel about rates with the
companies which make discs for
radio broadcasts, but merely does
not care to work for them at any
price.
The musicians played for tram
scriptions under licensing arrange
ment up to last August l. when
Mr.. Petrillo ordered them to stop.
The board has not decided to hear
the merits of the dispute. 1t called
the hearing only to determine
whether it is labor dispute within
it's jurisdiction 70 decide.
Senator Tunnel, Democrat. of
Delaware yesterday introduced a
bill which would make it unlawful
for any person TO threaten or compel
any employe to refrain from working
to produce records or transcriptions.
or to threaten or compel any radio
station to refrain from using tram
scriptions because of objections to
the manner in which they were
manufactured.
Senator Tunnel told reporters
the bill was aimed at Mr.. Petrillo,
and that he felt it was terrible
thing that one man could prevent
all the people of the United States
from the benefits Of transcriptions."
The measure. which cannot be
acted on until Congress reconvenes
in September, provides a SIS 900 fine
of five years Imprisonment for
violators.
