OPA SETS APPAREL
PRICE CEILINGS

Washington-OPA has issued a
special order establishing a list
of maximum average prices for
new manufacturers of apparel,
for use during the fourth quarter
only.
These averages approximate
those applying to long establish
ed manufacturers of the same or
similar items, OPA said.
The averages are the lowest
possible in accord with the pres
ent fabric situation, OPA assert
ed, but are liberal enough to place
new sellers in a fair competitive
position. At the same time, OPA
added, the averages will prevent
new sellers from enjoying any
undue advantage over established
sellers who are restricted in most
cases to their 1943 average prices.

Washington-The United States
this week was virtually assured
of practically all of Bolivia's tin
production for another year as
unofficial word reached here that
at least two big tin smelters in
British Malaya-the worlds most
important producing area-were
still in operation.
The tin shortage here remains
acute and is considered one of the
chief bott1enecks to reconversion.
Reports circulated in Govern
ment circles that the nations en-
tire tin procurement program
may be placed under a single CO.

part of the war. The name of DR..

STEPS ARE TAKEN
TO TRY JAPANESE

London-The United Nations
War Crimes Commission disclos.
ed this week that extensive steps
are being taken to bring Japan
ese war criminals to justice.
Indications were that the num-
Der of japanese who will have tc
answer for some of the most di-
abolical atrocities ever commit
ted will far exceed those to be
tried in Europe.
The first list of Japanese war
criminals-al military officers
was submitted to the War Crimes
Commission almost a year ago by
the United States.
Since the Spring OF 1874 the
War Crimes Commission has de-
voted particular attention to the
question of punishment for Japa-
nese war criminals when it took
steps resulting in the establish
ment of a Far Eastern and Pacif-
ic sub-commission.
