 The opA reported that 1t had rec ceived no such companies from dealers. but stated that out of the l4l2 sales in used cars made from July 10 to August 1, . total of 648 sales were transacted between pri. vate persons. No comparable fig. ures for preceding months are available. Of the GAS. only three violations were discovered, OpA said.
 The oPA regulations received the endorsement of the Connecticut Automotive Trades association which includes used car dealers. at a rec cent meeting called by the ass0- ciation to discuss the price ceilings with OPA representatives, the OPA said.
 Hardest hit by the new set-up are those dealers who have been ship. ping cars out in blocks to California, Texas and Louisiana. Lower prices imposed by the ceilings alongside of high transportation costs have

filled with tributes to her. Here is one Of them:
 Dear Frances: Your V-mail let- ter of April is reached me here May lo. You have a genius for crowcing into one short letter all the things that I like to hear about my mother and the folks at home. I cannot possibly tell you how much appreciate the trouble you take in writing to me. The story of sit- ting in the dining room with the sunlight streaming through fairly made me homesick for mother, the old home, and the whole togn. The next time you call on or phone my mother. tell her I am well and miss her all the time. only wish that planes flew fast enough that l could spend one day with her and be back here the following day for work. I would go A. W. o. L. that long!"
 Mother Eisenhower clluckles with delight as she shows the copy of the cablegram the General sent to his townspeople when they were celebrating Eisenhower Day" "Tf you folks try to high-hat me and call me by titles instead of Dwight when I come home. l shall feel like a stranger. The worst part Of mili- tary rank is it's Loneliness that pre- vents cornradeship. I wish ! could be home with tae old gang at the cafe

 Several used car dealers, however, who said they were unaware of any unfair practices going oti, arc carry. Ing on fairly good trade. they said The dealers attributed the general letdown in business to the seasonal slump, and the exhaustion of the supply Of used cars in this area which is just beginning Co Dc felt" The decrease in the number of men leaving for the service has also kept the supply down, merchants agreed. explaining that in the past few years cars turned in by enlisted men numbered in the thousands.
 According to the OPA. price ceil- lngs for used passenger cars have been applied for three reasons: to protect thousands of families and businesses from serious increases iTl their living and operations cost: to encourage the movement of cars into the hands of those who need them to carry on essential work by removing the incentive to hold cars for higher prizes: and to encourage reconditionirC of used cars so that they will run the greatest possible number ns miles.
 Ceiling prices set at January. 1894 levels are now in effect on g makes and about 6000 models of passenger autos manufactured from ig37 through i942. Cars older than ie31 models may not sell at higher prices than those set for comparable io37 models.

The boys keep in close touch by correspondence. and each of them has made an effort--l1sual- ly successful--tO visit his mother in Abilene at least once a year.
 
 To know General Eisenhower, one must meet his mother. A gentle old lady with firm faith in God and man. her silver hair glistening in the sunlight, her hands folded tn resignation. Mother Eisenhower awaits in her eigllty-third year for the end Of the war and the return of her famous son.
 When one looks upon this kindly countenance. with its benevolent smile. there is no doubt whatso- ever that this is the mother of the worlds great general. The resem- blance is striking. His features are but a masculine replica: he has the same penetrating blue eyes. the same keen intelligence of expres- sion. Even in her venerable years, she retains the magnetic personal ity and dominant qualities that characterize the General.
 Tke's devotion is shown in many letters. He frequently says that he owes everything to her for whatever he may accomplish in the world.
 When he writes to his mother he sends messages Of good cheer. but in letters 10 other members of the family he is concerned over her advancing years and exceedingly solicitors of her health and happi- ness. His letters to neighbors are
