the OPA organization from top to
bottom. After that the long list of
agency regulations will be examined
carefully and those held unnecessary
discarded
Mr.. MaXOn'S rise to power will be
Signalized not only by the departure

Cials. but much tougher enforce

OPA's pricing policies have been
subjected to a barrage OF criticism
from business recently. particularly
the new community wide prices for
food which have been target for
independent grocers throughout the
country. They claimed the methods
were unfair in that the listings
pointed to differential in prices
charged by the independent and
the chain stores
Labor long has been critical OF
OPA for failing to hold down prices
The agency in some quarters was
accused as responsible in some
measure for the shortage of gaso-
line in the East through failure to
stop rationing leaks.
The congressional proposal. re-
portedly made to the White House
would abolish OPA entirely and ap-
portion its work among other agen-
/ cies. Food pricing and rationing,
for example. would be given to the
War Food Administration. Similar
responsibility over petroleum prod
ucts would be shifted to the Petro-
leum Administration. A majority of
the remaining OPA functions would
be turned over to the War Produc-
ton Boards Office of Civilian Re-
Quirements. Enforcement would be
placed under the Treasury Depart
ment. Sterilization Director James
F. Byrnes would retain general SUI
! pervisory control over prices.

from business. His job admittedly
has been one of the most difficult
in wartime Washington. He has

Attu
Continued From First Page,

report of Axis casualties in TunlSla
Egyptian and Liban reports were
not included, that it was unusual
for any army to suffer greater num-
bers of killed than of wounded.
From the Navy cOmmuniQue and
the War Secretarys discussion of
the situation at Attu it appeared
that the main enemy position is that
at the head of Chichagof Harbor
which is being heavily pounded by
sea. air and ground troops.
However, the communique brought
out. although Mr. Stimson did not
develop it. that the japanese also
still have a force in the area north
of Lake Nicholas which lies south
of Chichagof Harbor and about 3
miles away. The two enemy posi-
/ tions were obviously isolated from
each other.
So far there has been no report
of any heavy American action
against an enemy force which the
communique said is in the area
south of Lake Cories, which is north
of Lake Nicholas.
Main Stronghold Threatened.
The attacks on the ridge domi-
mating the area around the head of
Chichagof Harbor began Monday,
yesterdays communique revealed
/ The action was carried out by COM
bined units from both the northern
and southern forces in the island
and authorities here believe that
! once the high ground is taken the
japanese position would entirely
collapse.
The ground overlooks the area in
which the village of Attu formerly
was located. The village consisted
/ of a few buildings and a church.
A few days ago the Navy reported
/ that all the structures except one
building and the church have been
/ destroyed. Todav's communiQue
said all buildings in the area had
been wiped out. apparently referring
to the church and the lone uniden-
tiied building, both of which were
used by the enemy.
Making Steady Progress.
Mr.. Stimson said Army troops on
Attu are making steady progress
toward destruction of the pockets of
japanese resistance. The enemy
has been cleared from the Sarana
Bay region. he said. and the Ameri-
can forces now mold both sides of
Chichagof Bay and are attacking
along the ridge dominating the re-
naming japanese positions
Clear weather would greatly accel-
crate the operations, Mr., Stimson
said. For the last week the troops
have pushed their way forward
gradually through sleet and snow.
while fog has impeded air support
operations. Much of the fighting
has been by small patrols using bay
onets and hand grenades to seize
the passes in the hills.
The entire area of combat has
shrunk until it embraces only few
square miles. Authorities who re-
called the wholesale surrender of
German and Italian troops when
thev were hopelessly trapped in
North Africa recently said that any
enemy forces except the Japanese
probably would have given up Attu
by now.

Il do not disavow anything" adding
Il do not have anything to do with
appointments by the President
Asked if his latest statement, that
he was making no disavowal
could be taken to mean that he
meant he felt Mr.. Flanagan should
not be reappointed. he answered by
reiterating he had nothing to say
yes or no-about the reappoint-
ment.
Mr. Hankin's request to Mr.
Byrnes was the conclusion of a let
ter protesting that Mr.. Flanagan
had not revealed to other PUG
members a letter Mr.. Byrnes had
written to Mr.. Flanagan April ask
ing for comments on means of CO.
operation in the imitation pro-
gram, and that Mr.. Flanagan had
not disclosed the nature of his reply
to Mr.. Byrnes. Mr.. Flanagan has
said he had not done SO since he
regarded the Byrnes request as a
personal letter to him.
When reporters asked Mr. Hankin
yesterday what might be accom-
plished by his request if Mr. Brynes
laid the issues before the President,
he said the President might read the
correspondence Asked what might
result then. Mr.. Hankin said the
President might see fit to instruct
this commission to act as commits
sion rather than as individuals
He said it Just happened to be
chronological coincidence that his
request to Mr.. Byrnes came shortly
before the expiration June 30O of
Mr. Flanagans present term Of Of
flee. To this he added his assurances
that he had not and would not
take such step as to suggest ap-
polntment of some one other than
Mr.. Flanagan. One District official
mot Mr.. Flanagan had declared
earlier his belief Mr. Hankln had
intended to raise the question OF Mr..
FlanaganS reappolntment.
Mr.. Hankin was asked today if his
statement that he did not and would
not suggest such step justified
the "interpretatl that he was
disavowing such a desire. His reply
was that he did not remember hav-
ing used those words.

Ha||eck Fears Control
OF Press and Radio
By Blows al Ads
Sees OPA Restrictions
On Use of Brond Names
As Potential Threat

Representative Halleck, Repub-
lican, of Indiana expressed fear
today that Government admins
trative agencies may attempt to con-
troll the press and radio by cutting
down their advertising revenue.
Sponsor Of the House-approved
resolution calling for the investiga-
ton now under way of OPA restric-
tions on brand names by a sub
committee Of the Interstate Com
merce Committee, Mr.. Halleck said:
Is it possible that the philosophy
behind many of the OPA regula-
tions is actually a concealed at
tempt to hamper the activity of the
press and of the radio2 We all
know that advertising enables the
press and the radio to be self
supporting, but where can this ad-
vertising come from if OPA drives
trade-marked and branded mer-
chandise out of the market?'
Mr.. Halleck's s statement followed
testimony before The subcommittee
of which he is a member, by George
S. Mcmillan, secretary of the Asso-
citation of National Advertisers, that
manufacturers and distributors of
branded and Crade-marked mer-
chandise pay for most of the ad-
that supports free press
and free radio
The manufacturer knows that
is the most economical
way to achieve widespread distribu-
ton Of a worthy product" said MI
Halleck. "Advertising breaks down
so-called sales resistance. 1t develops
greater volume 1t makes possible

Mr.. Ramspeck had asked Mr..
Stone specifically about the pro-
posed Rent Administration set-up in
his home city of Atlanta, Ca, with
a $98, 900 payroll, which he said
would have been wasted"
At that point he described the

Conferred Chimney
Is Fuel Saver
Researchers Report
on Illinois Experiments

While a chimney may he on an
wall or an inside wall, the
latter is preferable from the
standpoint Of fuel economy. says
the Plumbing and Heating Indus
tries Bureau.
Research work in the I-B-R
research home AT the University
of Illinois, the bureau points out,
has shown that a chimney placed
near the center OF the house Will
radiate heat into the house, thus
effecting substantial economies IN
fuel
The useful heat produced by an
inside chimney varies with the
temperatures Of the gases Of COM
buStion inside of the chimney.
Inasmuch as the combustion of
oil normally produces a higher
stack temperature. II follows that
a house equipped with an oil
burner will show a larger fuel
saving from an inside chimney
than a house burning coal or gas.
Just as the emphasis in the
postwar period will be on heat
ing plant that is readily convert
lille from one fuel 10 another, so
the chimney too. should be
adaptable 10 any fuel, the bureau
advises, in cautioning postwar
builders 10 have chimneys made
large enough for the combustion
Of coal instead OF limiting them
10 the smaller diameter sufficient
for gas burning.
