Washington, Jan. 29-CIO's de-

support from the OPA this week
in testimony by Chester Bowles,
OPA head, to the effect that a

that he couldn't possibly do "a

Meantime, the Senate was still
waiting to take action on the
Bankhead bill IS 1852 reported

choke subsidies off completely by
June 30 this year. Floor action has

who applies to use the material set
aside for children's clothes must
make panties sizes to II which do
not cost more than so cents each
at retail. OF course he can make
cheaper ones-but IL you think he
will, you don't understand business.
Here's the way IL works. The
higher the price Of the garment
you make, the higher margin Of
profit you make. And since there
aren't any children's panties and
they're going to be able to sell
all the 50-cent panties they can
make, why should they make any

The same applies to all the other
items Of so-called low cost children's
clothes for which WPB has set

that order have been checked
against Sears Roebuck and Mont
gomery Ward prices and they're
just about twice as high. In other
words, this order isn't an order to
bring low cost children's clothes
back on the market. It's an order
to bring children's clothes back on
the market at twice or three times
the price most of us have been
paying.
