how rather than whether the young hero, ,Bub Deliver. will escape the traps set for him by villains who, together with Bub, are in the true Horatio Alger tradition.
 Bub was the bad boy of the Maine town when he ran away from home, five years previous to the opening of the story. We find him returning, determined to estab- fish himself as solid citizen, after a period of wandering climaxed by service as & Marine at Guadalcanal, where he was wounded and invalided out.
 He refuses to capitalize on this, confiding only in the girl, Lou Curtis, who stands by him in the face of her fathers violent anti Deliver feelings, and a friend, who eventually lets the cat out of the bag. Bub is rebuffed right and left, finally finds job which is jeopar- dized when his rascally kid brother is drawn into a partnership of thievery. Blame for the sudden epidemic of breaking and entering naturally is laid at Bulbs doorstep.
 There are fist-fights and plots, there is young love thwarted and young love triumphant, and even- tual vindication for Bub. Compli- cated emotions, hidden significance, deep thought are not here. The book is like summer weather with its alternate thunder showers and bright sun-that simple, and some how that refreshing.

British Attack
 Porto Mourizio

Rome, March 29.-(UP)-Allted warships bombarded German posi- tions for four days in northern Italy along the long dormant Fran co-Italian frontier, it was disclosed today.
 The naval attacks, coming during the continued Hull in ground fight ing along 1taly's Pc Valley, were carried out by British and French destroyerS.
 The heaviest bombardment was centered on Porto Maurizio, about 10 miles east of Mentone, which is just inside France ta the Italian border.
 There have been virtually no re- ports of any ground activity in that sector since American troops drove nogthward from the southern France invasion beaches and joined with Allied forces that landed in Normandy.
 Adverse weather again restricted ground operations along the Fifth and Eighth Army fronts before the Pc Valley.

PRICE CHARTS
 NOW REQUIRED
State OPA Director Be. Iieve Retailers Have Good
 Understanding of Rule

Early filings of price charts re- quired by the new mark-up regula- tion covering many kinds of apparel and household furnishings show "an encouraging understanding of dif- ficult job" among retailers, Stanley Crute, State OPA director, said to- day.
 The retail mark-ups in effect March 19 on hundreds of items, ir1- cluding neckties, shirts, hats, wo- mems and children's garments, and many types of dry goods and house. hold furniture, must be filed with the State OPA no later than April 20, Crute explained.
 Judging from the success of the 34 instructional meetings held by the agency for retailers throughout Connecticut, the OPA head feels confident that the big majority of those concerns affected by the or- der will get their pricing charts to us before the deadline." Despite the work load entailed, most apparel and household furnish ings retailers have taken the job in their stride" because they have mo quarrel with the objective of the regulation, Crute added.
 When the charts are finally set up, they will simplify the average retailers pricing problems in the future, he explained, and the fixed mark-up will also assure the pubic of obtaining low and medium cost clothes, now being manufactureo under 8 joint OPA-WPB plan, un- der a fair and equitable mark-up system.
 Clothing and house furnishings costs have been climbing slowly ana steadily for many months while food and rent costs have either been rolled back or held stable" Crute declared. "The new pricing regula- tion is one of several coordinateo moves to get these costs back in llne. The majority of our retailers know this and they are squarely behind our efforts"
