Sakimoto had a black Chevrolet
sedan before the war-the Japa'
nese never buy any other color. In
l941 the government paid two
thirds of the cost Of 1,500-yen
charcoal burner to provide fuel
for the car.
When things got tough in 1913,
Jiro traded his Chevrolet to a
black market operator who canni'
balized it for spare parts, giving
Jiro. small supply of rice, can
ned fish, sugar, cooking OIL, soap
and cigarettes.
On his day off, Jiro sometimes
pushed a cart into the country to
his cousins farm where, for his
city money and a few trinkets
from the store like needles, thread.
buttons and talcum powder, ne
could get as many vegetables as
he could haul away-the crops
were good throughout the war but
distribution broke down.

OPA LIBERALIZES.
CIGAR PRICINCS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-F-
The OPA today announced a some
what liberalized pricing formula
for certain cigar manufacturers.
Effective September "a. the re-
vised formula affects principally
those cigar makers who use Cuban
tobacco and those who produced
new brands during the first halt
Of 1913, OPA said.
The amended regulation also
contains revised price ceilings FOL
manufacturer who were not IN
business in March 1912.
None Of the changes will result
in retail price increases for any
brand of cigar, OPA said. But il
will allow manufacturers to p-o-
duce more higher priced cigars.
But the cost of packaged smok'
ing and chewing tobacco is going
up.
\ The OPA increased manufactur'
ers' ceiling prices in average Of
il cents pound, effective Sept.
10. The increase will be passed
on by wholesalers and retailers.
At retail the increase will be
from one-half cent on the smallest
containers to IS cents on pound
sizes.
No increase is provided fo- to-
bacco with a manufacturer net
selling price higher than $1.43 a
pound, tax-paid.
The OPA described the increase
as an incentive to manufacturers
to resume production Of low-p-iced
brands that have disappeared from
the market, and to increase the
output of hard-to-find brands

United Press Staff Correspondent
TOKYO, Sept. 13.-Mr. Jiro Saki.
moto, who clerks in department
store on Tokyo's Gina, is hungry
and ragged. It has been a long
time since he or his family had
a good meal, a good cigaret or a
new pair of shoes.
His salary is four times what il
was before the war, but it barely
keeps the Sakimoto family alive.
Their house was destroyed in
the great Superfort fire raids and
they live with Jiro's brother whose
house is much further from the in
dustrial districts.
Jiro doesn't find much use for his
big .bankroll except to buy a few
rationed items which are sold al
fixed prices. Ninety per cent OF
all goods which change hands are
bartered. Occasionally he buys war
bonds which in Japan are sold on
a lottery basis, giving him a re.
mote chance of hitting a big prize
which would enable him to buy in
the black market.
Japan's dollar is the Yen, worth
% IL cents before the war when
it would buy almost what dollar
buys in the United States. Salar.
les in Yen here appropriated those
in dollars for, comparable jobs ih
the states. The U. S. Army took
official notice of initiation when it
pegged the Yen at % cents-15
to the dollar.
The Sakimoto family doesn't look
starved. In fact, many japanese
women became overweight during
the war because starchy vege'
tables were the cheapest and most
plentiful of food. But nearly ev-
