0PA Intensifies Drive
i1o Hold Food Ceilings
As Rdtioning Ends
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
OPA launched an intensified
drive today to keep food prices
in check as meat, butter and all
other red-point products came
off the ration list.
George Moncharsh chief of OOA's
enforcement department, predicted
it would be somewhat more diff
cult" job to hold prices now that
rationing has ended.
He said in an interview, however,
that OPA is "all set" to crack down
on any violators of price ceilings.
Investigators already have been
transferred from other OPA price
programs to augment the regular
stat assigned to see that ceilings
on meats and fats are observed.
Job in Shortage Areas.
Mr.. Morcharsh said OPA expects
the job to be toughest in areas re-
mote from meat, butter and other
food producing centers.
Under rationing," he explained.
points were set to assure even dis
tribution. This helped to ease the
pressure on prices.
Now that rationing is out. we
have to guard against any bidding
up OF prices to obtain supplies in
potential shortage areas"
The East, particularly New York,
where meat consumption is high. is
an example of such an area. Mr..
MoncharSh said.
The biggest task, the enforcement
chief added, will be policing prices
for pork, butter, margarine, lard,
shortening and salad and cooking
oils, since supplies of these products
are expected to remain short of de-
mand for a while.
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson.
IN announcing the termination of
the red-point program yesterday
said it would not be practical to
Keep points on these foods and free
only on beef, veal, lamb and canned
fish.
Mr.. Anderson said this would re-
qulre establishment of new ration
ing program and that OPA was not
prepared to undertake such a lob.
Supply Called Adequate.
The Secretary estimated that the
overall supply of meats is adequate
TO assure consumption next month
at the annual rate of 165 pounds
per capita. Last spring and summer
the rate was down to around 100
pounds, while the 1935-1939 prewar
average was about 1877 pounds.
AS for butter and other fats and
oils, they'll be available in Decem-
Der at the yearly rate of so pounds
per capita, only two pounds more
than before the war. The American
Butter Institute said in Chicago
that the butter demand NAV exceed
the supply for time because this is
lowest production period of the year
Sugar, the only food still rationed,
may stay on the list for some time.
Secretary Anderson said there is no
immediate prospect of terminating
the program. Earlier he had stated
sugar might have to be rationed
through 1916.
Foreign requirements for meats
and fats from this country will in
no way be affected by discontinue
ance of red-point rationing, Mr..
Anderson explained.
He said the maximum amount of
food promised by President Tru-
man would be shipped ito help re-
lieve distress and prevent starvation
in devastated countries ."

Five Men, 7 Women
lin Reich 10 Die for
Killing 6 Americans
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DARNSTADT Germany, Aug. l.
Seven Germans, two of them wom-
en-, will be hanged and three others
face long prison terms for the kill
ing of six captured American air.
men last August.
The verdicts were returned late
last night after six-day trial
which military court attaches said
would serve as a model of procedure
against hundreds of other Nazis
charged with similar crimes.
The six-man military commission,
headed by Brig. Gen. Garrison H
Davidson, former West Point foot
ball coach, returned the verdicts
after celebrating four hours.
One of II defendants in the case
largest group yet brought to trial
in Germany for war crime, was
acquitted Each of the group denied
any serious connection with mob
which beat the airmen to death.
Two of those sentenced to die are
sisters, Margarete Witzler, so, and
Kathe Reinhardt, 38, both mothers
They cried loudly when the sentence
was pronounced.
Others sentenced to be hanged
are Johannes Seipel, Ct; Joseph
Hartgen, Al; Friedrich Wust. 40;
Johann Opper, IS, and Philipp Gut
Itch, 48.
George Daum, As, was sentenced
to Is years imprisonment and Au-
gust Wolf, 43, and Heinrich Bartel,
40, received terms of IS years each.
Karl Fugmann, AZ, was acquitted.
Four German civilian attorneys
made separate arguments for the
defendants and afterward said the
trial had been conducted fairly. One
blamed the crime on Nazi Propa-
ganda Ministers Paul Goebbels, who,
he said, told the German people
that civilians would not be held re-
sponsible for what happened to AL
lied flyers who bailed out.
An American investigator, who
called the killings the most brutal
he had encountered, said the
American airmen were being led
