For the general public, this was
the first big breach in travel re-
straints. Sports and convention
tips already have been restored.
But ODT officials are by no
means optimistic that railroads
will have enough cars to spare to
take advantage of the relaxation.
The reason: Returning veterans.

The good news for the white col
lar workers was this:
The Internal Revenue Bureau S
sterilization unit in wartime had
kept down to 1912 levels increases
,or people making S., a year
or more and for administrative and
professional people who made less
than IS, a year but were not
represented by labor unions.
The War Labor Board controlled
the wages of all others up to $5,-
90. But last week the War Labor
Board announced the lid was off
for those under its jurisdiction if
raises for them did not mean price
increases.
Everyone in Washington knew
that the Internal Revenue unit was
following suit but this did not be-
come official until today.
But there were three checks on
raises in salaries or wages:
They must not cause an increase
in price ceilings, or be an excuse
for protest against a reduction in
prices at some future time, nor
can they be given if if means an
added cost to the government.
For example: Workers in a plant
doing work for the government
couldn't get the increase if it meant
the owner of the plant had to charge
the government more for the work
done by his employees.
The construction industry, back
ward child of the change-over to
peace, got needed and timely
lift.
The WPB predicted that builders
would have enough lumber within
30 days ito meet all kinds of con-
struction requirement" -including
houses for civilians.
As a starter, the agency eased
it's controls on lumber and announc-
ed it would end them entirely on
Oct. l.
This will allow Substantial re.
sumption of home building within
a few months. Industrial construc'
ton was set loose yesterday.
The loosening Of restraints on
lumber - most important and
scarcest building material-paved
the way for scrapping of WPB' S
whole construction order. That will
occur before Sept. 80, by all indi-
cations.
Now, any lumber supplier may
sell to any buyer, so long as he
takes care of priority orders.
Along with this reconversion news
came the complaint-from Republi'
can quarters - that reconversion
was going too slowly.
Some industries have expressed
that view. But now it has become
a political issue.
Herbert Brownell, Jr., chairman
of the Republican National Com.
mittee, served notice it would be
one of the points on which the
COP will seek control of Congress
next year.
He said the administration had
'fumbled' reconversion.

An interesting angle to this
extraordinary young man is the
overwhelming popularity he met
with on his personal appearance

Cotton Textile Business
Improved by 0PA Order
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Activity
in civilian cotton textiles showed
definite improvement during the
past week after the Office of Price
Administration broadened its ad-
Unstable pricing order.
The new OPA ruling raised the
maximum possible increase in CELL
ings from 4 to 8 per cent, extended
coverage to other items such as
sheetings and provided for advances
in finished goods prices affected by
the upward adjustments.
AS a result, substantial print cloth
yardage was released for August and
September delivery along with a
fair line of sheeting for the bag
trade.
Woolen goods sales also picked up
during the week, rejecting freer
supplies for the unrated civilian
market. Worsteds, however, were
practically nonexistent.

Notes
Dutch Conductor
Barred Forever
FrOmCOncerts
By ALICE EvERSMAN.

The spirit of the Dutch people
during the period of Nazi occupation
which has inspired the admiration
of the Allied world extended even
to the protection of their musical
life. In spite Of the victor's efforts
to enforce their culture on the con-
quered nation, the patriots refused
to comply with all rules and followed
their love for music in their own
way.
In 1941, the Nazis established a
Dutch culture chamber which re-
quired that artists register with it
and perform at concerts when Or
dered. But the stubborn musi-
cians," as the Nazis called them,
boycotted the concert halls to such
an extent that no music was heard
in some places and in others only
by those artists willing to please
the enemy. But the talented mu-
sicians of Holland were busy in the
underground, gladly playing in "pri-
vate concerts" for their compatriots
There was nothing the NaZis could
do about these underground affairs,
for the time and place were so
closely guarded that it was impos-
sible to accuse the artists of tres
passing the law, yet the cultivation
of music went on.
Now that they are a free people
again, the Dutch have taken steps
to punish those musicians who CO.
operated with the Nazis. First
among these to suffer is Willem
Mengelberg, formerly conductor of
the famed Amsterdam Concertge-
bouw Orchestra and universally ad-
mired for his artistic qualities. The
Dutch Honor Council for Music has
barred him forever from welding
a baton in the Netherlands and has
suspended his brother Rudolf, man
aging director of the orchestra, from
the board for IL months. The
honor council was recently organized
in Amsterdam by a group of mu-
sicians to investigate the attitude
of the directors, conductors and art
lists of the orchestra during the
occupation years.
Mengelberg accepted an appoint
ment to the culture chamber, con-
sisting of 20 carefully picked Dutch
Nazis, at the time of its organiza-
tion. His concerts, at which he in
troduced new talent to the public,
were so Stunned by the loyal people
that, on one occasion, the Nazis
ordered hundreds of German citi-
zens and followers of the Dutch
Nazi, Anton Mussert, to attend. Last
March it was announced that the
conductor had been injured in a fall
and would be unable to conduct,
and 1t is believed that he left for
Switzerland, where it is said he is
at present.
In passing judgment the honor
council stated Mengelberg was 80
guilty, having behaved in a manner
impossible for a man of his position
and contrary to national honor that
he should never again be allowed
to WELD conductors baton in the
Netherlands. Another Well-knoWn
conductor, Eduard van Beinum. was
absolved of suspicion of collabora-
tlon and permitted to resume his
leadership of the orchestra.
