DRY GOODS

NEW YORK, Nov. 7-P)- The
cotton textile market was generally
quiet today. Small lots of print
cloths and sheetings were sold for
quick delivery. Strikes in New
England mills tended to retard ac-
tivity. Heavy bidding was reported
for approximately 10 million yards
of duck which were declared sur
plus by the military service. The
war department announced that ap-
proximately 81 IL million yards
Of burlap and osnaburgs strip
would be made available to the
market.
There was heavy demand for
wool goods but little business was
accepted. Mills were hard pressed
to fill existing orders because of
manpower and other problems.
Rayon goods deliveries were con-
fined to routine ALLEGATION to the
converting trade.

Grocer Is Fined $3.50
For Violations Of 0PA

Harry kaufman, 64, grocer, Of 1856
Fourth street S.W. was fined $750
yesterday on three counts Of ceiling
price violations in the sales of hams
by Municipal Court Judge Walter j.
Casey.
Judge Casey did not impose a jail
sentence in addition, as was recon-
mended by Assistant United States
Attorney John Lane, who prosecuted
the case April 10.
II am somewhat disturbed by the
differences that have arisen in the
public press as to the method of en-
forcement Of this highly desirable
and necessary STATUTE" the judge
commented. There is an uncertain
ty in the air about the responsibility
and where 1t lies"
Kaufman, Once of Price Admins
tration investigators testified, sold
them fresh and smoked ham on
three occasions during February at
above-ceiling amounts as high as
$1.73 on 7-pound 13-ounce sale.

Transit Company
Ordered 10 Sef Aside
Account

The Capital Transit Co. yesterday
was ordered by the Public Utilities
Commission to set aside in an un-
classified account more than $13,-
100000 Of its present property &C.
count because it cannot be associ-
ated at this time with the original
cost of the firms property.
The disposition, if any, of the
$l3, 100000 has not been determined
by the commission. Chairman James
H. Flanagan of the PUG explained
that the temporary classification
would have the effect of segregat-
ing the original cost of property
from the overall cost reflected on
the company's books"
In March, when the valuation and
rate hearings of the transit firm
started before the PUG, v. A. Nc
Elfresh, chief accountant of the COM
mission, suggested that the SIS, ,10O,-
600 might be disposed of by one
of three methods: BY amortizing
it against net income for q period
OF years, by writing down the par
value OF common stock or by amor
tizing it from operating income. He
favored the first method.
"The primary objective of the
commissions order is to establish
on the books of Capital Transit the
cost Of property at December 81,
1943, and to so revise the accounting
procedure followed by the company
that the original cost Of property
can be determined at any time
without the necessity for protracted
and costly investigation" Chairman
Flanagan stated.
The original cost as of December
81, 1943, as estimated by the COM
mission staff, was $46, ,482 ,287, while
the comparable figure presented by
the company was SAC, ,397 1863.
During the course of the hear
ings, the company argued that the
difference between original cost and
recorded costs arose because at the
time Of the merger Of transit firms
in 1888 to form Capital Transit the
fair market value of the property
was higher than when it was first
devoted to public service.
The commission is now Investigate
ing whether any change should be
made in the system of accounts
Of the company, whether the COM
pany should establish a continu-
ing property record, and whether
depreciation accruals in the future
should be segregated by various
classes of property.

One hundred and twenty WASH
ington mail carriers have been walk
ing their runs for the past year in
shoes supplied by the Government
without ration stamps.
It is all part Of the War Produc-
ton Boards program to test the
longer-wearing qualities OF shoes
with treated soles and thus conserve
scarce stocks Of leather.
Each postman who volunteered
and, according to local post Office
officials, there has been no lack Of
volunteers-wore one shoe with q
specially treated sole and one with
a sole that had not been treated.
The sole treatment materials were
oil, wax, an asphalt composition and
a nitrocellulose composition.
WPB could not have picked bet
ter profession than that Of letter
carrying. Washington mailmen's
average hike Is from 60 to 80 miles
weekly.
Just as soon as pair Of shoes dis
tributed to the post ONCE by WPB
begins to show signs Of wear, Oh
they come and the postman gets
another pair. AL shoes are made to
individual measure at factories.
The worn shoes are turned over
to WPBS Conservation and Salvage
Division, which Is making an ex-
haustive study, still not completed,
Of the subject. Previous tests have
shown that treated soles afford at
least Is per cent longer wear than
untreated shoes.

Suribachi Flag Raising
Not Posed, Witnesses
Tell Meeiinq|

The flag raising on Mount Surf
bachi on Two Jima, preserved In the
famous picture taken by Joe Rosen-
thai, Associated Press photographer,
was not posed. Take that from an
eyewitness.
The witness. T/sergt. Keyes
Beech, Marine Corps combat corre-
spondent, described the scene yes
terday at luncheon Of the Ma
tional Press Club. He expressed
hope that his testimony would
settle the question Of whether the
i've Marines and one sailor raising
the colors over the Japanese strong
hold knew they were being photo
graphed. They didn't, he said.
Joe Rosenthal." Sergt. Beech ex-
planned. "just happened to click his
shutter at the right time"
Raised Small One First.
When the 28th Regiment of the
5th Marine Division took the noun
tain, Sergt. Beech recalled, an adj
vance patrol first raised q small
flag. A Jap began hurting grenades
at the group, and the patrol had to
defer the flag-raising and clean out
an enemy nest. About three hours
later a larger nag was sent up, and
1t was this one the Associated Press
cameraman pictured. Three Of the
six men In the picture later were
killed, and one of the three sur
vivors who is back in this country
was wounded.
Sergt. Beech said the actual
storming Of Mount Suribachi was
not so difficult, but gaining the ap-
proaches to the peak brought bitter
fighting and heavy casualties, and
a costly battle followed its capture.
Other phases of the fighting on
Two Jima were described by two
other Marine combat correspond
ents, T/Sergts. David Dempsey and
Alvin Josephy who served, respec-
lively, with the 4th and 5th Marine
Divisions.
Sergt. Dempsey told Of D day. His
story on the beachhead, the first to
go out, was printed in newspapers
all over the country.
Press Boat Sunk.
The combat correspondents, he
explained, had arranged for a press
boat to carry back their copy, but
when 1t arrived it had a large flag
inscribed Press" and the Japs must
have thought it carried the COM
mander In chief, for they concen-
trated a murderous fire on it and
sank 1t. And they sank out of 6
press boats that followed. Finally,
he said, they got copy of through
the beachmaster the next day.
Sergt. Josephy described the ter
rife fighting in the interior of the
island that slowed his outfit to gains
Of so to 100 yards day. He credited
the individual bravery of Marines
largely for the final routing of the
enemy from hundreds of pillboxes
which, together with tunnels, en-
abled the Japs to rake the invaders
from every direction.
