Wright, Meat Dealer,
Held for Grand Jury
After Price Hearinq

Berry Wright, co-partner in the
Wright Beef Co., meat wholesalers
at 1854 Fourth street NE, today
was held for action of the grand
jury by United States Commissioner
Needham C. Turnage on charges he
had violated Office of Price Admin
istration price ceilings by having
accepted side payments on meat
sales.
At the hearing today, the prin-
cipal witness for the OPA was
George p. Wright, 1892 North Cap
itol street, who testified he had paid
$l06 in "overcharges" above ceiling
prices on meat in February. George
Wright said he formerly had
grocery business where he now lives.
The two Wrights are not related.
Marked Bills Used.
George Wright said he had paid
the alleged "overcharges" in marked
bills in the presence of an OPA
investigator whom he introduced to
Berry Wright as partner of the
purchaser of his grocery.
Berry Wright also faces two civil
actions growing out of the present
case. One is a treble damage suit
for 81 ,146,600 for alleged Price Con-
troll Act violations. The other is
an order obtained by the District
OPA requiring him to show cause
why he should not be held in vio-
lation of an injunction issued
against him in 1943 in another case
while he was an employe of Witt &
Co., meat dealers.
Both George Wright and Ben
Smith, OPA investigator, who, it
was testified, was present when the
"overcharge" payment was made
said on the stand that Berry Wright
had told them "all meat and veal
from now on will cost 8 cents above
the ceiling"
Paid Supplier Above Ceiling.
Leslie Mason, OPA investigator
testified that after Berry Wright
had been taken to the I'd precinct
station Mr.. Mason had said to him
DO you mean to say you clip
everybody this much?"
The defendant replied, the OPA
investigator said:
Its the only way to stay in busi-
ness. 1 have to pay my supplier
above ceiling and l have to charge
over ceiling to stay in business"
Joseph B. Danzansky and Stanley
H. Fisher represented the defend
ant. Assistant Enforcement Attor-
ney Lloyd Williamson represented
the District OPA.

We Day and japan

Admitting that the Nazis are on
the verge of collapse, the Tokyo
radio now tells the japanese peo-
pie that the end of the European
war will have no effect on the war
in the Pacific and Asia. The Japa-
nese people, however, can scarcely
believe that. Despite thought con-
troll" and other official devices to
keep the truth from them, they
know that the United States, even
while concentrating it's main power
against Germany, has advanced
across thousands of miles of ocean
to the very doorstep of their home
land, and it must be clear to them,
as they watch their cities burn
from our ever-mounting air attack,
that their leadership is merely
whistling in the dark when it pro-
fesses that Japan will be unaf-
fected by We day.
To even the least perceptive of
Japanese minds the implications
of Germany's imminent downfall
must seem as obvious as the fact
that two plus two makes four. The
Americans have been fighting in the
Pacific with one hand. so to speak,
and now they are about to fight with
the other as well, concentrating their
full strength against the home is
lands on an all-out basis. Nor will
the increase be confined only to the
power of the United States, for
British forces will grow, too, and the
Chinese probably will be better sup
piled. and there is always the pos
sibility that Russia. having already
denounced the Moscow-Tokyo neu-
trality pact. will become an active

Breed Puddin'

We view With concern the attitude
OF the younger generation land
some Of the older) toward bread
used as a dessert. There is a good
deal to be said for fresh, brown
crusty, homemade bread literally
coated with butter (you remem-
ber?) and overrunning with mo-
lasses. Those who recall when you
listened to radios with earphones
may recall cracker pudding-that
unique and delectable combination
Of crumbled, salty soda crackers,
cream and sugar. But the tops for
bread products used for a meal
concluding sweet is bread pudding.
There are recipes and recipes for
1t. The ordinary, everyday garden
variety is simple matter of COM
bining white bread, whole milk and
few other ingredients. The total
is favored with vanilla. Admittedly
it serves it's destiny WELL But If
one is making bread pudding, it is
a cause for regret to stop with this
simple plan when just a bit more
effort raises the whole thing to
superlative heights of gustatory
achievement. Put in some chocolate
f1avoring; add a handful of Juicy
raisinS; toss in half cupful of
chopped COOLERS. Then, when it
comes steaming- and fragrant to
the table, plank generous amount
OF hard sauce right into the middle
Of the dish. That is bread pudding.
1t is bit upsetting to know that
some folks use cream and sugar on
1t. An educational campaign can
rectify the situation. Chocolate is
scarce, but occasionally one finds it,
and there are few better uses than
In a chocolate bread pudding.

Sic Transit Goerino

The days of glory are over for
Herman Goering. When his Luft-
waite ruled the skies of Europe. he
was perhaps the most popular Nazi
OF them all, with power that ranked
him second in the hierarchy. BY
order Of Hitler himself, he was to
succeed to the fuehrership in the
event of Hitler's death. But the order
was issued long ago, when every
thing was running smoothly for
Germany and when this gaudiest
and most bemedaled of the worlds
field marshals was economic boss of
the Reich as we'll as commander Of
the air force.
Goering's decline really began dur
Ing the days of the blitz on England.
Then it was that the Luftwaffe,
despite overwhelming numerical su-
periority, was turned back by the so
few British pilots who did so much.
Quality triumphed over quantity.
and never afterward could Herman
Goering strut as proudly as he did
during the time when his bombers
were laying waste places like War
saw and Rotterdam and when his
tighter planes were butchering help
less civilian refugees on the roads of
Belgium and France. His fall from
prace h0uevor did MT heoox.n

power began making a mockery of

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

One of the things which helped to
spread this fear was the secrecy with
which the Russians guarded their views
and their actions. Foreign Commissar
Molotov, head of the Russian delega-
ton, wisely held press conference on
the second day of the United Nations
Conference, and freely answered ques-
tions OF the newspaper correspondents.
He held another yesterday afternoon.
The more of these conferences Mr..
Molotov or other members of his dele
CATION have in the future, the better.
Further, he delivered an address to the
conference itself which set forth the
views of the Soviet government.
Il \
The Russian demands on the con-
ference have been backed up with logical
point of view. The one issue on which
there has been the greatest disagree
ment Is over Poland and an invitation
to that country to attend the confer
ence. Mr. Molotov sought to convince
the conference that Poland, which has
done so much and suffered so much
in the war against Germany, was en-
titled to representation much more
than Argentina, which took no part
in the war and whose sympathies were
with the Axis powers so long With
delightful bit of irony he quoted state
ments made by the late President Roose-
velt and former Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull, made no longer ago than last
September denouncing the Argentine
government as pro-Fascist. The con-
ference supported Argentinas admission
to the conference.
The Russian Foreign Commissar and
his government could. if they would
hasten Poland's admission to the United
Nations Conference. They could see to
it that Poland's provisional government
be reorganized in compliance with the
Yalta agreement. Mr.. Molotov has
promised this will happen The wonder
here is why the reorganization has not
been pressed.
1t may be that within a short time
Mr.. Molotov will leave San Francisco
and return to Moscow-motivated by the
great events happening in Europe and
the need of his being on the spot.
If that happens it would be mistake
to interpret his departure as walk
out" on the conference and signal for
further criticism of Russia

belligerent. None of Hirohito's sub
jects can fail to see what We day is
therefore bound to mean.
The last partner of the shattered
Axis clearly faces as black prospect
as ever confronted any nation in
history. When the shooting ends in
Europe, by far the worst phase of the
war will begin for the japanese, and
although they may be able to fight
on for long time and make our
Allied march to Tokyo a bitter and
costly one. they can hope for Moth
ing better than the kind of paroxysm
now sending Nazidom to its death.
The only way they can escape the
same fate is by unconditional sur
render before the gathering storm
breaks in full fury upon them. Other
wise they will be taking wild and
suicidal gamble on the extremely
remote possibility that the will-to-
win of the great powers now warning
against them will somehow disap-
pear.
Evening star., 1945-05-01

being Systematically destroyed both
in combat and by the great offensive
against aircraft plants and oil re-
sources.
Today, according to the German
radio, with nothing left to command,
Herman Goering is in retirement.
The Nazi version is that he has
resigned because of serious heart
ailment, but other reports indicate
that he may have been executed or
may have gone into hiding in an
effort to escape Allied justice. In
any case, he is finished as chief of
the Luftwaffe. His multitudinous
medals may still shine and his uni
forms may still dazzle the eye, but
he himself passes into the inglorious
dark.
