Onion Prices
Force Tears

The first carload of 1914 Texas
onions reached the Detroit market
today, bringing nothing but tears
10 Detroit housewives. For they
learned that the price ceiling on
the eagerly sought vegetable is
unlimited.
The housewives chagrin was
shared ihitially by wholesalers az
the Detroit produce terminal who
had gathered TO snap up the first
carload, which had been imported
by Alter Shrier.
They protested when Shrier in-
formed them that the price was
SO for 80 pounds, or IS cents a
pound. Shrier declared the OPA
had informed him that ceiling
prices have not been set for the
1914 crop.
The upshot will be. dealers be-
lieve, that the wholesalers can set
their own price 10 the retailer and
the retailer can do the same to
the housewife. The ultimate price
to the housewife can range az
high as the storekeeper desires.
unless the OPA quickly remedies
the situation. Shrier. who was
cited by the OPA last year for
selling onions at IS a 50-pound
bag when the ceiling was S2.44.
defended his price by saying the
onions cost $3.50 per so pounds in
Texas. with freight charges IS
cents per 100
He said he intends 10 bring In
another carload tomorrow and sell
at price quoted today unless the
OPA interferes.

BY MARGARET RUSSELL

When T/Sgt. Gene Autry made
his first appearance at WAC re-
cruiting headquarters in the Bull
Building. there was no swooning,
no mad rush for autographs.
In fact. there was nothing but
business, the very important
business of recruiting young De-
troit women as WACs in the air
transport command, TO be sta
toned al the Rommus army air
base.
Before The office opened, Gene
and the WAC recruiting officers
and enlisted personnel had
sleeves-rolled-up discussion. Only
those young women who were
convinced they wanted TO get into
service got into the pri-
vate office where Gene was inter-
viewing.
And that office wasn't the
sumptuous affair you would ex-
pect. Sgt. Autry sat on a folding
OIldII III Ailt Col ueI Ol one Oh the
rooms behind a plain table. The
applicant sat on another folding
chair in front Of the table.
"The WACs are doing
splendid job" Gene drawled.
They have convinced the army
officials they can do their part.
Right now, we're trying to
enlist more girls in the ATC.
We want them for teletype
operators, Link trainer Oper-
atOrs, parachute riggers and
just plain clerks and truck
drivers"
Autry explained that all girls
recruited through this drive
would be sent 10 Fl, Oglethorpe.
Ca, for basic training and would
then be stationed at Romulus.
Opportunities for girls in this
group 20 serve overseas are I'M
limited. he said.

Coast Plant Gets
Shells Contract

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2. up
A sudden army appeal for manu-
facture of eight-inch and 155mm.
artillery shells on the west coast
was answered by the Henry Kaiser
Co, Inc, which signed a $25,0OO,O0O
army ordnance contract to manu-
facture the shells at its huge Fon-
tana, Cal, steel mills.
Kaiser officials and army ord
nance procurement officers an
nounced signing of a letter con-
tract for the first manufacture OF
such munitions on the Pacific coast
Monday, only two weeks after the
army asked for a rush job on the
projectiles.
The project received the approval
of the area production urgency
committee at Los Angeles, however,
after it was shown that only 300
additional workers would be re-
quired at Fontana, and that half
the actual work could be Sub-con-
tracted outside the southern Cali
fornia manpower shortage area.
From half to two-thirds of the
new workers can be women, the
committee was told.
Chairman Louis M. Dreves of the
Los Angeles area production ur-
gency committee said facilities al
ready available at Fontana would
permit an immediate start on much
of the projectile work, including
forging, heat treating and rough
machining.
The committee granted approval
for 100000 in expenditures on new
construction and equipment facili-
ties to handle the munitions work.
Col. K. B. Harmon, district chief
of the San Francisco army ord
nance district, said the letter con-
tract will lbe supplemented with a
formal contract within few weeks.
