Invasion Currency
Ruled No Obligation
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The United States has not assumed
and does not intend to assume any
liability for redemption of so-called
invasion currency" used by Amer
lean armies in liberated European
countries.
However, Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau has informed Con-
gress claims OF foreign governments
for the amount of their currency
printed in this country and used by
our forces may be presented after
the war.
Naturally, some people over there
would like to make the currency an
obligation of the United States
Treasury, which it is not" Mr.. Nor
genthau told the House Appropria-
tons Committee during a closed
door discussion of the subject.
| Possibly, Mr.. Morgenthau said
the Italian government may put in
claia for reimbursement after the
war land we, on our side, will have
a charge for the cost of the inva-
sion, and SO forth"
The invasion money" involved is
the type printed in this country to
purchase supplies for American
troops as they move into foreign
countries that had been controlled
by the Axis.
Daniel w. Bell, Undersecretary of
the Treasury, disclosed to the COM
mlttee that the Italian government
accepted responsibility for redemp-
ton of Italian invasion currency
under terms of the armistice agree
ment. The same obligation has been
accepted voluntarily by other gov
| ernments, he added.

|GroceryPrice
Violations Cost
Nation Billion
BY the Associated Press.


Ceiling price evasions on groceries
alone have cost American house.
wives almost billion dollars.
This estimate came from OPA Di-
rector Chester Bowles In House APP
propriati tons Committee testimony
made public today.
I'VE figured a year ago the over
charges in grocery stores above cell
ing prices probably amounted
to close to a billion dollars" Mr..
Bowles testified.
That Is money that the consumer
paid, the housewife paid, over and
beyond what she should legally pay"
He estimated, however, that an in
tensified enforcement program-car
ried on largely by volunteers-has
reduced price violations In recent
months to a point where shoppers
have been saved 5000 ,000, 900.
Nevertheless, OPA's best current
information Is that Is per cent of
retail food is still being sold at above
ceiling prices.

While Mr.. Lewis and his Policy
Committee were silent as to conces-
sions they will seek in the new

that the miners will ask for a sub

granted without breaking the Little
