Total Air Supremacy
Over Reich Held by
Allies, Arnold Says
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NINTH AIR FORCE HEAD
QUARTERS, France, April 7.-Gen
H. H. Arnold, chief of American Air
Forces, said today Allied plane.
can now fly over Germany at any
time and in any kind of weather.
At a press conference after 9
weeks inspection tour of the west
ern front, Gen. Arnold said it looks
like the German air force has lost
its will to fight aggressively. 1t is
no longer mobile because of the lack
of fuel"
He said that March was our big.
gest month yet in the air with q
daily average of more than 5000
planes in the air, and a total OF
10000 sorties individual plane
fights for the month.
In all, SIS German planes were
shot down in the air and 664 more
destroyed on the ground during
March. Allied plane losses were
799.
Gen. Arnold said many people in
the United States were skeptical of
the Air Forces figures on destruc-
ton of the German war machine,
but after seeing the results himself
he said he was convinced that the
figures were too conservative.
In three months. Gen. Arnold
said. the 9th Air Force alone had
destroyed more than 2l,000 motor
transport vehicles, l,700 tanks and
armored vehicles, 1000 locomotives
and $4,000 railroad cars.
The Air Forces commander told
newsmen that I'VE had jet planes
before the Germans did" and ex-
planned we did not use them because
of their short range. They are a
defensive weapon" he said, not
offensive"

well result in greater difficulties
than any we have yet experienced
in preventing imitation"
These difficulties" they said, ARE
likely to be further increased by the
readjustmentS in the war program
and in the economy that will fol-
low victory in Europe. 1t may be
that for brief period there will be
an apparent end to the upward
pressure on prices and even a gen.
eral sag in prices. If that occurs,
there will be voices raised to claim
that the danger of initiation is over
and that all controls should forth
with be lifted.
The American people and their
Government must remember that
1t was just such deceptive sag of
prices after the last war that led
us to abandon all semblance of
price control. But that sag proved
to be the prelude to a steep inf1a-
ton almost equalling that which took
place during the war itself-an in
flation that ended in disastrous COL
lapse a year and a half after the
Armistice"
Adaptable Controls Urged.
AS the Nation moves to victory,
the letter said, wartime controls
against inflationary pressures will
have to be adapted to the stresses
of transition"
Two major principles were ad-
vocated in this connection. Adop-
ton by industry of price policies
geared to volume sales, and which
encourage mass buying by narrow
ing margins over production costs,
and as a complementary PROPOSE
ton, high wages, high productivity
by labor and low unit costs of pro-
duction.
Reiterating the often advanced
Administrator argument against
relaxation of price and wage con-
trolls once the war is ended the
officials expressed conviction that
the American people will continue
to support necessary, sensible and
fair measures.
To maintain stability in the face
of dangers ahead will require the
full support of yourself, Mr.. Presi-
dent, the Congress and the Ameri-
can people" they said.
Clothing Prices Rise.
Summing up the two years under
the hold the line" order, the COM
munication said:
"A large number of items enter
ing into the cost of living have been
held absolutely steady. Some items,
chiefly in the food group, have de-
clined On the other hand, clothing
prices have undergone gradual
but unbroken rise during the past
two years. Thanks, however, to new
programs, the rise will soon be
stopped and plans are under way
to roll back prices on essential
clothing items.
Average straight time hourly
earnings are currently estimated to
be 10 per cent above their level of
two years ago, largely as a result of
promotions and increased produc-
ton. Wage costs have been kept
relatively stable and have not con-

CCN ' PLAYERS TESTIFIED AT
 GRAND JURY

New York, March 6-CUP)-Wil- liam Levine, former member of the college of the city of New York bas- ketball team, testified yesterday at the open hearing into the basket ka.l gambling situation that he was ordered by his coach to refuse a fiee throw in a game against Syra- cuse in order to foil gamblers.
 Levine said he was fouled about 10 seconds before the close of the game and that the referee had given him the ball for free throw when his coach, Nat Holman, signalled him.
 We were ahead by six points" Levine said. His signal was for me to take the ball out of bounds which I did and we won by six points. Hol- man wanted to foil the gamblers"
 The bookmakers had laid 6-8 pc.nt swing on the game, which was played at Madison Square Garden Jan 10. Had Levine sunk the free throw City would have won by seven points and the bookies would have collected both ends of the bets. Un- der the rules, player has an op- ton of free throw or taking the ball out of bounds when fouled.
 Feeler
 Levine said that week before the Syracuse game he was approached in a hotel by man who asked, do you want to make some money?"
 Levine testified that he answered no and walked away and that he had not seen the man before or since. He added that he did not no- tify Holman of the incident.
 Shortly after the Syracuse game Levine gave up basketball because of his health which previously had led to a medical discharge from the army.
 Harold Korodin, also City Col lege player, corroborated Levine's testimony concerning the free throw in the Syracuse game but said he did not know why Holman had or- dered it until read it in the pa- pers the next day"

(Rxistered II. $. Patent OfEice)
 By JACK CUDDY Limited Press Staff COrrespOndent)

New York, March - U.P0 - When dainty Barbara Ann Scott or Ottawa kissed her finger tips to the applauding crowd and twinkle-toed off Madison Square Gardens ice on her magic skates, an old-timer de- clared enthusiastically;
 That kid don't know 1t; but she just made herself million dollars"
 "HowS that?"
 She just established herself as the sure-fire successor to Sonia Henie. She's only l6 now; but shes the hottest thing on ice"
 The scores hadn't been an- nounced. However, the old-timer knew that the slender vision in blue from Canada's capital had won the north American ladies' figure sxat- ing championship. The crowd seem- ed to know 1t too.
 They were right. Brown-haired, blue-eyed Barbara Ann had become the youngest continental champion since the international competition was started back in 1923. She had beaten the classiest women anna teurS in the United States and Can- ada including our own national champion, Gretchen Merrill of BoS- ton. In her concluding performance of free skating" last night. the 1.-the little girl captivated the crowd with her ease and certainty as she zoomed through a difficult, daring pattern that included many whirl- ing leaps and dizzy spins.
 Why was the old-timer 50 sure that Barbara Ann would succeed Sonia, the Golden Gal?"
 Because she's a better skater right now than Sonia ever was," he stated emphatically, although na- turally she hasn't got SonJa's show manship yet. However, she has the great gift of personal charm-that reaches right out and grabs the crowd and holds 1t. You saw that, from the minute she stepped on to the iceam."
 Wasn't the old-timer making a pretty broad statement in saying that Barbara Ann was a better skater than Sonia?
 No so broad" he said. No modern instructor will challenge my statement. You see figure-skating has advanced considerably since Miss Henie turned professional in 1886. The fundamentals the school figures - have remained the same. But the free skating has changed, due to the addition of more and more acrobatics. Little Miss Scott excells in the acrobatics. Shes made to order for them - slender, agile and feather-footed."
 The reporter left the old-timer and sought out Miss Scott and her mother. Mrs. Clyde R. Scott. Would Barbara Ann turn professional soon? the reporter wanted to know. Mrs. Scott considering Holly woods offers?
 Little Barbara Ann (fve-foot three by l04 pounds) seemed surprosed at the questions. She said, why - have no inten- ton of turning pro. I'll remain an amateur until the next Olympics. I do SO want to win an Olmpic title. Meanwhile. I want to go to McDon- aids College. near Montreal. and take an advanced course in domes- tic science. I want to learn to cook and sew real we'll"
 Mamma Scott. widow Of a Cana dian army colonel, nodded agree ment. She added. i've don't even discuss professional offers
 The reporter went back to the old-timer and gave him the quota tions from Barbara Ann and mother. The oldster gazed sympa- thetically at the newsman and be- gan humming:
 Seems to me I've heard that song before"
