HARD WORK LOST

That added the food retailers
and distributors TO the new list
of dissatisfied customers with
whom the OPA win now have TO
contend. II landed The rationing
program on them when they
didn't expect it. Many of them
knew nothing about il until they
read the news in the paDerS, and
to further confuse their stu
alton. il came just ahead of their
year-end inventory
The OPA has struggled long
time to build up the public sup
port and acceptance that 1t had.
1t started its program with
chip on its shoulder Its attitude
was that everybody was a crimi-
nal, and it shaped its regulations
and orders from that point of
view
But after unhappy period OF
that big stick operation. the
OPA came under more enlight-
ened management. 1t reacted to
some of the public complaints
against it, and it spent long, hard
months selling itself to the public.

DID AN ABoUT-FACE

1t tried to shake off the char
acteristics of the tyrant, and be-
come a friendly partner in a job
on which the government and the
public had TO work together.
For the most part, that CAM
paign was successful. The public
always has realized that there is
a need for the rationing of GER
tain items, and there would have
been no loud complaints against
this latest order, if it had been
confined to that.
But the OPA had 20 conjure up
a brainStorm on the evils of ac-
cumulated ration points. and, for
the privilege of putting into effect
one of its cockeyed ideas, il has
thrown away large part OF the
public confidence II has so labor
iouSly built up.
Housewives are on the warpath.

That in itself was a body blow
to the confidence which the
American housewife had devei-
oped in the OPA. Housewives
had been assured that those points
would be good indefinitely. They
were told that they didn't have
TO spend them before any special
time; that they could let them
accumulate and spend them when
ever they chose.
SELFISH FEW ADD HARM
They were like money in the
bank TO the housewife. She knew
they were there, and she looked
upon them as something she
could use in an emergency.
That little bit of destruction Of
public confidence was accom-
plished by the OPA without any
help from anybody, 1t did il on
its own initiative. and 1t deserves
all the credit.
But Just to make the job more

official announcement, the tact

canned goods and meat to the
ration list, and the result was
that OPA had TO issue the order

Fire PRESIDENT
HANDED DEFEAT

DUBLIN, Wednesday, May 10
R)-It was officially announced
early today that a general cleo
ton would be held in Eire-prob-
ably May 30-as the result of the
defeat of Prime Minister Eamon
de Valera's government on a trans
port bill by vote of ga to 60 in
the Dali.
De Vallera's government party
took the minority spot last June
after the wartime general election
ended with the Fianna Fail holding
81 seats to the opposition's II. This
was a portent of rough going on is
sues such as that which resulted
in the one-vote defeat.
Irish observers fastened to say
that De Vallera's neutrality poll
cy had nothing to do with the re-
buff, since leaders of the opposi-
ton parties have endorsed his
stand on that question.
The negative balloting on the
transport bill was the equivalent OF
a no-confidence vote.
