until we attain Victory over the
Axis, but their determination and
grit is not superficial and snowy.
It's deep inside and on the surface
what you see is a simple, plain boy
or man who loves his hometown,
his family, his country. Almost
without exception, our men are men
who like music, nature, and good
time. They're not stalking around
looking for a fight because they
want to bully anybody. They're
merely plain American boys who
want to live their normal lives and
who are taking time out willingly
now to wage a speedy and vic.
torious struggle against Fascism so
that they can return to decent liv'
ing once again.

D. T.. Stores Accused
OF Wide Violations
OF Price Control Act
Check Of lib Places
In 8 Areas Reveals II
Serious Complaints

A check of 1l3 meat stores in
eight District areas has revealed
violations of OPA regulations in
every one. District OPA officials said
today.
Serious violations were reported
in II OF the stores. failure to post
prices being the principal complaint
against the others.
According to the OPA officials
the failure to post prices has been
found to be Of greater importance
than was first thought. since this
practice leads to suspicion that
retailer may be charging his GUS
toners more than the top legal
price.
Face Prosecution.
AS result of the survey which
was completed this week the officials
said practically all the stores have
been brought into compliance and
the few proprietors who refused to
cooperate with the anti-infiationary
regulations now face prosecution by
the District OPA's enforcement di-
vision. which is headed by John L..
Laskey
Meanwhile the Districts OPA's
home front pledge campaign is being
pressed and District officials report
they have received more requests for
speakers to explain the program
than they have been able to provide.
Many of the requests came in re-
SpOnse to a letter addressed BY Rob-
ert K. Thompson. District OPA di-
rector. TO the citizens of Washington.
"GangSterS are relatively simple
TO control because the law can take
strong stand against them" he
said. But the million small trans
action of the black market can be
controlled only if the people them
selves take a strong stand against
them-whenever and wherever they
occur"
Stress Educational Angle.
Explaining that the purpose of
the campaign is not merely to pro-
cure bulk signatures to the home
front pledge-to pay no more than
legal prices and to accept no ra-
toned goods without giving up ra-
ton stamps-OPA officials said en-
phasis is being placed on its educa-
tional aspects.
we feel very strongly that just
signing pledges doesn't mean a
thing one OPA official said. We
will trade 10 persons who just sign
the pledge for one who signs and
really understands the program be-
fore he does So
In furtherance of the educational
program, the District OPA is now
