 Washington, June 13-(UP)- Congress has collided with the law of supply and demand in an effort to squeeze a bit more revenue from the public and as of today it looks as though the law and the public will win.
 The revenue in question is that accruing from post office sales of money orders. Congress decided last winter the rates were too low, al- though they admittedly were high enough to give the post office a profit on the millions of money or ders purchased annually by Amer ican citizens.
 Congress raised the rates. Up to March 26 1t cost six cents to send a $2.5O money order. The rates ranged upward from there to 22 cents for a $i00 money order.
 Congress hiked the rates to 10 cents for a s2.50 money order, IA cents for a $500 money order. 22 cents for a &20.O0 money order and so on to 37 cents for money or der for slO0. The legislators eyi- dently forgot that the government does not have a money order mono poly. Shortly after the new rates became effective, various private institutions, including commercial

 Taking advantage of the first high ground north of Rome, the Nazis were reported fighting back savage ly at four key points on line ex- tending 30 miles inland from the Tyrrhenian seacoast at Orbetello.
 Official reports indicated, how ever, that the main enemy forces still were in headlong retreat to- ward their secondary defense line between Rimini and Pisa, more than 100 miles farther north, and that the overwhelming weight of Allied armor and infantry rolling up from Rome would prevent any serious stand on the present line.
 American infantry columns ran into stiff opposition along the coastal road southeast of Orbetello where the German rear guards took up positions in the hills astride a lateral highway running inland to Lake Bolsena.
 Fierce fighting also developed on both sides of Lake Bolsena, where American and British columns were converging on the key railway town of Orvieto American units on the west shore captured Valentano, a five-way highway junction, and moved on four miles to Latera. At the same time, south African armor- ed forces drove around the east side of the lake to within about six miles of Orvieto, meeting bitter opposition in the Bagnoregio sector.

Soy Ronmel Is Denoted

London, June 13-(UP-A dis patch from the Fist Army groups headquarters to the Evening Stand- ard said today that 1t was believed Marshal Erwin Rommel had been removed from command of German troops facing the Allies in France.
 No definite news about Rommel has reached the headquarters since the invasion started, but all indica- tions are that he no longer is in command, the dispatch said.
 Detailed reports beginning to ar- rive from the front" the dispatch said, showed that Rommels plan for the defense of Hitler Europe had even graver consequences than at first believed. It is now known that when Rommel was in Nor mandy shortly before the invasion he moved forward coastal defense zone troops which Marshal Gerd van Runstedt. commander of west ern Europe, had placed some dis tance behind the front line.

Although Mr.. and Mrs. Stamm

Stamm is at present with the

assistant to Mrs. Pearsons Rust
when Mrs. Rust was chairman of
the victory booths and after her
resignation Mrs. Stamm was
asked to take Mrs. Rust's place.
She has loads of friends and Is
very popular with the people who
work with her. She gives I'M
stintingly of her time and energy,
SO much so that she has found
little time for the singing and
piano playing that formerly gave
her so much pleasure. Like most
other pleasant things, Mrs.
Stamm feels her music must wait
until the war is won.
