|WPB Plan 10 Ease
Controls on Materials
Brings Split with 0PA

BY the Associated Press.
The War Production Board and
the OPA are split wide apart on an
issue embracing fundamental price
and reconyersion policy.
Likely to be referred to President
Truman for settlement, what was
once just a disagreement now has
boiled to an angry quarrel over this
basic point:
May WPB remove or ease controls
on materials no longer scarce II
OPA feels such controls must be
retained to help hold down the cost
of living?
While this issue arose in connec-
ton with a specific WPB proposal
to ease restrictions on clothing pro-
duction, OPA has taken the position
that overall price and reconversion
policy is involved.
OPA Watches Living Costs.
OPA officials believe materials
controls should be kept firmly in
place in any case where living costs
might rise If they were removed.
WPB, on the other hand, Is COM
Evening star., 1945-08-08

mitted to . policy Of eliminating
controls as soon as the supply Of
any material warrants It.
This difference has the two agen-
cies at nggerheads, with represent
atives Of each predicting the quar-
rel eventually will have to be re-
solved by Mr.. Truman.
OPA already has brought the dis
pute to the attention of War Mobil-
ization Director John w. Snyder and
Economic Sterilization Director
william H. Davis.
But officials familiar with the is
sues say any recommendations made
by Mr.. Snyder or Mr.. Davis are sure
to be passed on by the President,
since administration policy is In
volved.
Meanwhile, the proposal which
precipitated the clash has driven a
deep wedge into what started as a
cooperative effort to boost produc-
ton of inexpensive clothing while
restoring garment prices to l943
levels.
Opposed by Industry.
Undertaken jointly by WPB and
OPA early this year, the program
set aside about rs per cent of the

He has big, soft brown eyes and
tells funny stories. You'd never
recognize him from those jobs he
does as a wolf man, a monster, q

or Frankenstein. This is a great
relief to him, he says.
This horror stuff wasn't really his
idea in the first place, he adds;
neither was acting. He was song
writer when casting directors ar
gued him into film work. He made
Westerns and other things, but be-
came typed as heavy and in 1889

And I've always said he was a fine
actor I wanted him madly for

Instead, Laraine had Robert
Young as her leading man and, de-
spite her preference for Andrews,
she admits that Bob gives the per-
formance of his life-"and If 1t were
his first picture in Hollywood they'd
be calling him another Gable or
Grant"
Laraine is ambitious. She wants
to be a big star-"And III get to be
big star-if it takes me 20 years.
But I'll do it my way" She is hint
ing at the soft-soaping methods
adopted by certain of her colleagues
who ease the way to stardom with
smile. Il just can't do that" SAYS
Laraine, "there'd be no satisfaction
in it." I think the gals got some
thing there
Personally, I think Laraine will
end up as producer or a director
In her early years here she directed
and produced plays at her own Little
Theater. Three years ago she was

Players, in which some good local
talent-Gladys Cooper, Philip Meri-
vale, Beulah Bondi and others-ap-

public pay for the free seats given

seven months: not bad, in view of
the temperaments involved.

whom she'appeared in her first film,

set.
Lew is the finest man I've ever
met says Laraine Hes almost

other picture with him. but he
won't return to Hollywood"
/ There is husband, Ray Hendricks.
They were married in 1912 He was
a flying instructor, but now is back
in civilian life, and Laraine admits
they are still graphing with the
problem of readjustment.
/ I'm luckier than most wives of

cause I knew him well for two years
before We were married, SO We have
something solid behind U.s." There
will be no children until Laraine
