joint WPB-OPA clothing program is already having an important ef- feet on production and price"
 Government surveys and informa- tion from manufacturers and buy- CTS, Sells said, show that the first of the popuiar-priced apparel of good quality produced under the program is beginning to reach re- tail stores.
 A WIPE source told the United Press that there was no danger of hardship this year from shortages of cotton, rayon or woolen goods. He added, however, that some peo- pie would have to substitute rayons for cottons.
 Under the WPB-OPA clothing program these measures were talk en:
 WIPE gave priority assistance for getting cloth to manufacturers who would make low-cost goods. These manufacturers were given 65 to 90 per cent Of all civilian cotton fab- rics, 30 per cent of rayon, and 30 per cent of wool.
 OPA ordered manufacturers to "pre- ticket" garments with the ceiling prices at which they were to be sold. Intermediate handlers get what profit they can between the manufacturers price and the retail ceiling.
 Under a more recent OPA order, prices for mems, women's and chil dren's clothing were to be rolled back to the average prices of 194S. They had increased 12 per cent be- tween May, 1943, and last January.
 WIPE reported a slight improve ment in the textile rl1anpower pic- ture. It added that wolens will be in good supply beginning this fall, with overcoats plentiful.

 Burns said if the union and pub- fishers agree on private arbitration, but are unable to agree on an ar bitrator, the newspaper commission will undertake to name one If pett- tioned by either party.
 Burns Telegram said that if there is no agreement to arbitrate the re- maining issue in ethe dispute-a three per cent welfare payment ask ed by the union-either party may petition the commission to refer it to private arbitration.
 Waldman's reply to Burns said that his statement of board policy was gratifying and acceptable and recommended it to union members.
 Publishers had not yet announc- ed full details of their plans to re- surne deliveries when the union met this morning.
 The main issue in the strike was the union demand for publishers contribution to a welfare fund equal to three per cent of their payroll.t
 The union has repeatedly called for arbitration by agencies othes than the VILE. The publishers have replied that the dispute already is in the hands of the WIB aIic that the WLB would not approve any agreement until the men re. turn to work.
 Police reported several new dis orders throughout the city and out lying towns.

Admiral William F. Halsey's Third fleet was carrying out the attack, led by the battleship Iowa and other dreadnaughts. It was the third in- shore attack on the Japanese home land within four days by Halsey's rampaging battlewagons.
 Already, assessment of intelligence reports revealed, the continuous operations up and down the coast of Japan had sent 140 Jap ships and small craft to the bottom and damaged another 234 for a total of 374.
 Royal Navy and U. s. flattop planes smashed at diminishing number of targets in the Tokyo dis trict.
 Bambardment of Hitachi opened at Il p. m. (Japan time). Moving at high speed, the surface naval force moved almost to the gates of the Japanese capital before it lev eled the big guns of it's battleships. cruisers and destroyers against the selected targets.
 Hitachi and adjoining Sukegawa are the centers of the largest and most important complex of indus trial targets north of Tokyo.
 Industries Blasted
 Industries there are in a com pact coastal area along the Fuku- shima- -Mito highway in Tochigi pre- lecture. The cities face on the sea of Kashima Nada, along slightly curved coastline. At that point Hal sey's battleships were only 30 to 4C miles from Tokyo Bay, separated only by the Boso Peninsula. This was the first night sea bom- bardment of Japanese homeland targets.
 The strike came a few hours after 500 super forts, based on the Mari anas, splattered over 2,500 tons oi fire bombs across Namaizu, Hirat- Suka, and Kuwana on Honshu, and Oita on the northeast tip of KyuShu
 Factories in the Hitachi area manufacture aircraft parts, electri- cal equipment, precision instru. ments, wire, cable, Diesel engines radios and gears.
 Other potential targets were tht Hitachi Engineering works, thu Japan Mining Company in a mar. row valley behind the city, th< city, the Yamate Wire Cable plant and a complex railroad system feed. ing the entire industrial area. Coupled with some 500 B-2! Superfortresses that set four Jap. anese war center, ablaze in the pre-. l dawn darkness, the foray put mort than 2,O0O hostile planes over Japar today-the biggest one-day attacl of the Pacific War.

 Lucarelli, who has been held without bond as a coroner'S pris- oner when it appeared that Mrs. Hatch was in danger of death, was released by Coroner Stephen A. Homick for court action this morn- ing after he conferred with Mrs. Hatch's physician, Dr. Thomas Cot- tiero.
 Dr. Cottiero told reporters today that Mrs. Hatch was rallying to penicillin and oxygen treatments, and that it was reasonable to ex- pect recover.
 He said Mrs. Hatch, a slight wom- an of about 90 pounds. was stabbed directly above the heart, so that if the blade had penetrated another quarter of an inch, the wound would have been fatal. The knife punctur- ed her lung, and caused an internal hemorrhage, Dr. Cottiero said.
 Mrs. Hatch told attendants that SIlc QlQ llOb 1Sa44AC oAAO AAno SSSAh stabbed until after Lucarelli was out of the door. She said he was holding the knife clencned in his fist, and she thought he had punched her until she saw blood coming through her dress.
 One source reported that Lucar- eli left the knife ir his victim after the stabbing, and Mrs. Hatch drew it out herself. A long-bladed, blood-stained pocket knife was found by police in the restaurant after the stabbing. Her husband.

BETTER THAN BEFORE

Probably some of us may talk too
much about the falling off of business, as
such talk undoubtedly underminss conf
dence.
Conversely, it borders on faulty to
try to fool ourselves by declaring there is
no evident decrease in business.
Whichever view you may wish to take,
our adjustment to normal conditions will
come about just the same, with this differ
ence: the less we say about business failing
off the better will. be our morale eeonen-
ically. eee'F7 ~ ~ ~;
However, you may be surprised to
learn that the Key West Post Office did
a better business last month than it did
in May of 1914.
Impossible" you may assert, tor last
year at this time business was humming."
Yet that is the truth for figures do
not lie. Last month the local post office
sold six percent more of stamp stock than
it did in may of 1914, and bear in mind
that the business in a post office is consld-
cred as the best barometer of economic
conditions in any community.
You may point out that the six per-
cent advance, in comparing monthly re-
ceipts of one year with the same month of
the Immediately preceding year, is the
smallest the local post office has reported
sines this country's entrance in the war.
You rsssysay further that some of the adj
yances' were far more than 100 percent,
I'D that here were many that showed so
percent, OF thereabouts, yet there was
gain last month, nonetheless.
Finally, let's try,to conform to happy
medium between talking too much about
business decreasing and living in FOOLS
paradise. We have several things on which
to base hopes for good economic conditions
locally in the postwar world. The chief
change between Key West of today and the
Key West in the prewar world is that we
are now in better position to provide mod
ern housing accommodations for visitors
than ever before.
