PRICE CEILING ON
CATTLE is SHELVED

Washington - OPA's failure
to take into consideration a con-
gressional requirement this week
ishelved indefinitely the agency's
proposal for price ceilings on live
cattle.
The measure, which the OPA
had expected to announce this
week end, was held up when
Sterilization Director Vinson
pointed out to officials of the
agency that the law requires con-
sultation with members of the
industry before such a step may
be taken.
This development occurred
shortly after Vinson had con-
ferred with group of Senators
from farm areas, thus indicating
that this delegation called atten-

100000 has hit $40, 360,000,O0O

: What Is. Wronq
When Prayer Fails?

A strange man in Los Angeles,
known as. 4The Voice of Two
Worlds" reveals the story OF a
rema rkable system that often
leads to almost unbelievable i'm
provement in power Of mind, ach-
ievennent OF brilliant business
and professional success and new
happiness. Many report improve
ment in health. Others tell of in
creased bodily strength, magnetic
personality, courage and poise.
The man, well-known explorer
and geographer, tells how he found
these strange methods in far-off
and mysterious Tibet, often called
the land of miracles by the few
travellers permitted to visit it. He
discloses how he learned rare wis.,
dom and long hidden practices,
closely guarded for three thou
sand years by the sages, which
enabled many to perform amaz-
ing feats. He maintains that these
immense powers are latent in all
Of us, and that methods for using
them are now sinplified so that
they can be used by almost any
person with ordinary intelligence.
The Wilmington morning star. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1909-1990, 1944-09-10

He maintains that man, instead
OF being limited by one-man-
power-mind, has within him the
mind-power Of a thousand men Or
more as well as the. energy power
OF the universe which can be used
in his daily affairs. He states that
this sleeping giant Of mind-power,
when awakened, can make man
capable of surprising. accomplish
ments, from the prolonging Of
youth, to success in many fields.
To that eternal question, what Is
Wrong When Prayer Fails?'' his
answer is astounding.
The author states the time has
come for his long hidden system to
be disclosed to the Western world,
and offers to send his amazing
00o0-word treatise-which reveals
many startling results-to sincere
readers of this paper, free of cost
or obligation. For your free copy,

CHANGES REGIMES

LONDON, Sept. 9.-RHBulgaria
changed governments again today
as two Soviet armies swept unop-
posed through the country which
once was the backdoor to Hitler
European fortress.
The Sofia radio announced that
former Premier Kimon Georgiev
had taken over the premiership,
succeeding Konstantin Muraviev,
and had formed a new govern
ment.
One of the last acts of the Mura-
view government was to ask Mos
COW for an armistice and proclaim
war on Germany, at the same time
ordering Bulgarians to welcome
Russian troops.
1t remains to be seen, however,
whether the Georgiev regime will
be satisfactory to Moscow which
was persuaded by the Bulgarian
declaration of war upon Germany
to accept Sofas plea for an
Armistice.
Before the latest cabinet switch
the government had dissolved
parliament on the ground it was
unworthy to represent the people,
dlsbanded the estate gendarmerie
which was created a few months
ago to suppress popular unrest,
proclaimed amnesty for political
prisoners and announced Bulgar.
