seizure Of Zamboanga, which has

that area American planes can

He estimated there are between

FOR MOVIE PRICE

WASHINGTON, March 13.-R-
OPA Chief Chester Bowles asked
Congress today to help slap a
price ceiling on admissions to mo-
ton pictures, stage shows, athletic
activities"
They have been free of price
control so far, Bowles told a news
conference, because most of these
things were not covered by the
statutory definition of commodi-
ty.
And the prices have been going
up year after year, he asserted.
For example, he said, the cost
of seeing a movie has increased,
on the average, by about 80 IL
per cent from June 1941 to last
December.
The first thing to do is to keep
admission prices from getting any
higher than they are now, he said.
eve would then have to make
studies later to determine whether
there should be any rollback OF
prices
Bowles wrote to Chairman Wag-
ner (-NY) of the Senate Bank
ing Commute about the motion
picture charges particularly. He
expanded at his new conference
to say controls should also be ex-
tended to other amusements.
Wagner's committee is consider
ing legislation 10 extend OPA an
other is months beyond June 80.
Bowles said that people spent
ST, 500, 100000 on the movies last
year, an important item in family
budgets.

committee.
Agencies speaking for foreign
commitments expressed fear that
failure to meet them might have
far-reaching reprecussions in Lon
don and other foreign capitals and
weaken this country's influence at
the Forthcoming San Francisco
World Security Conference.
Jones, on the other hand, be-
lieves that it is impossible to re-
duce civilian supplies further with
out endangering domestic morale
and disrupting present food ration,
ing programs.
The Army's demands have been
increasing rather sharply in recent
months. Officials said the Army
was anxious to build up reserves
for the war against Japan before
Germany \ is defeated. Military
leaders are said to fear sharp

ian demand for lifting of restric'
tons soon after We Day-dsvelop

tion," this official-M. K. Bennett

ments in international relation" il

ded, "how far ALLEGATION policy by
itself will squeeze domestic con-
surners for the benefit of foreign
ers."
In the Senate today, Senator
Eastland (D-Miss) asked why sc
much food is being shipped abroad.
Because of large shipments of salt
pork to Russia, he said, none Of
this meat is to be had in the South,
where it forms an important part
of the farm diet. Senator Bridges
(R-NH) declared the same sort Of
shortage has hit New England.

is contained in the February Pris-

Recent communications from

stressed the Importance of using
the special letter forms (Form NO.
iii which are obtainable at post
offices and Red Cross chapters
throughout the United States, and
which now are dispatched regu-
larly, postage free, ~ air to Eu-
rope, Letter forms are used al
most exclusively, it stated, by the
relatives of British prisoners OF
war, who have learned from ex-
perience that letter forms go
through much faster than long let
tiers mailed in envelopes.
The German authorities, more
over, the bulletin stated, in an Of
fetal communication again have
pointed out that the sending of 40,

the United States results in "such
letters, during heavy work, being
placed aside by censors for later
examination. German regulations
do not forbid the sending of letters
Of any length in envelopes, nor is
restriction placed on the number
Of letters that may be sent to in
dividual prisoners. The authorities,
as we'll as the prisoners them

use Of letter forms because they
are easier than long letters for
