Refrigerotors Return
New electric refrigerators soon re-
turning to the market will do so at
about the same retail prices as in
1912, according to the Jackson Dis
trict Office of the OPA.
A recent "reconversion price" reg
ulation, said an OPA official, gov
erns prices at all distribution levels
on all refrigerators made after July
l, 1945.
Maintaining l942 price levels on
these refrigerators continues OPA's
policy of holding the price line" on
long-absent products now coming
back on the market. Other major
appliances that will return at l94l or
1912 retail prices include washers
and ironers, radios, vacuum clean
ers, electric irons, etc.
Form Feeds
Farmers in Mississippi were told
today by Major w. E. Holcomb, OPA
District Director that they may ex-
pect favorable feed supply for this
year, considerably above that of
1914.
Major .Holcomb pointed out that
the nations total production of all
feed drops, including the large hay
crop and a sizeable tonnage of sor-
ghum forage, is predicted to be the
second largest ever produced.
Although farmers have had to pay
somewhat higher prices for mill
feeds during the war period, he ex-
planned, the rise is considerably low
er than for corresponding period
of World War l.
Citing comparison of feed price:
in the year following the first Worle
War with today's feed prices to show
that present prices are much lower
Major Holcomb said, that bran price
were $6.25 per ton higher in 1921
than today; cottonseed meal wa
$3.50 per ton higher; linseed nea
was $29.50 more than today's price
and gluten feed was $21.25 a tol
more than at present.
Form Building
Postwar building plans of million
of farm families can be realized
if the farmers buying power is pro
tected against initiation, says Price
Administrator Chester Bowles in the
November issue of Country Gentle
man.
A fifth of the million-odd farmers
who want. new homes plan to builc
next year, Mr.. Bowles writes. More
than Az million who intend to re-
pair or remodel their homes are
eager to get started, and so are near
ly five million who want to fix ur
their farm buildings.
Stressing that scarce goods, high
demand, and great buying power are
the ingredients of initiation, Mr.
Bowles enumerate step by step the
reasons for OPA's tightening the
reins on costs of building materials
There are price controls on al
most everything needed to improve
the farm home and the farm plant"
Mr. Bowles states, land we in OPA
hope to keep them on until there
are enough units to 60 around.

TRIP TO THE MOON
Riverside Daily PreSs)

lRlVerSlde Daily PreSS)
The next territory to fly the American
flag may be none of the suggested new
air or naval bases scattered around the
world, but the moon. The advance in the
knowledge of rockets which the war
brought has made more feasible the long
proposed sending of a rocket to the moon.
Both the United States Rocket society
and the British Interplanetary society
have been working on the problem. Not
long ago Willy Ley, a German who has
been studying rockets for years, wrote
an optimistic book about them. He
thought a. space ship feasible not now
but eventually, and estimated that trip
to the moon would take ninety-eight
hours.
If any nation flies to the moon, Ameri-
cans would naturally like to be first. The
United States Rocket society, writing to
the Interior department as to how terri
tory on the moon might be claimed for
this country, learned that anyone propos-
ing to settle there would come under the
jurisdiction of the General Land Office
and could acquire title under the home
stead act.
Things haven't got that far yet, but
with the ever-increasing knowledge about
rockets, it might happen.

COMMENDABLE MOVE
BY CONGRESSMAN

An Iowa member Of the House has initi-
ated move looking to the repeal of the
five-dollar federal use tax on automo-
biles. While the levy has raised few
million dollars each year, it is insignifi-
cant as whole in the total revenue ven
lures that congress tries from time to
time Il always has been catalogued as a
nuisance tax' and the method Of levy
hardly seems equitable since it attaches
to the lowliest Of the family of motor
vehicles in equal measure to that of the
great big expensive type. Furthermore,
the taxpayer can not get a receipt and in
case of theft or loss otherwise, it means
another stamp and another five dollars or
a fine. If there is any part Of an automo-
bile that isn't taxed, directly or indirectly
by the state or federal government, that
part must be we'll hidden or myth.

MAKING AMERICAN HISTORY
A COMPULSORY STUDY

Public schools and institutions of high
er learning are put on the spot by a
measure passed by the California assem-
bly, by which it would be a requirement
for graduation that all students must
have passable grade in American His
tory. In high school and on through col
leges and universities the curricula al
ways have been selective and must. That
is to say, student, in order to obtain
diploma, must have a certain number of
credits in certain cOurse-language,
mathematics and so on.
This system more or less is based on
the compulsory theory. There are argu-
ments for and against the method. Cur
rently, and for some time, there has been
a betting away from some of these rules,
but in place of them, unfortunately there
has crept in a lot of frillS and off-shoot
courses so that the drift has been away
from the fundamentals. The measure in
the assembly emphasizes this tendency.
The mere teaching of the facts in the
history of our country should establish
the pride each and every citizen should
feel for and have for his country. AS we
emerge from this terrible global war and
take our place with other nations to un-
dertake a wider world view and expand
our influence to set the world right
again, it is all the more important and
vital, too, that we should revere our own
institutions and bulwark our pride in our
accomplishments.
No better foundation for this than
proper study and knowledge of our own
history-of American history.

DID TRAITOR EXPOSE
HITLER'S GOLD CACHE?

Was it by accident that Hitler's gold
reserve, cached in a deep salt mine, was
discovered by Yankee soldiers on military
police patrol? 1t is not in keeping with
the paper hangers way of doing things.
Was it tipped off in one grand sabotage
gesture by Hitler's own guards?
If the story hangs true, there is good
reason to suspect that the disclosure was
deliberate, else why should two women,
or any civilian, for that matter, have
knowledge Of the cache and its location?
Furthermore, according to first reports
the mine was not guarded as closely as
nations entire supply of cash ordinarily
would be unless there was not something
queer about the whole business. 1t ap-
pears that the few guards were little con-
cerned over the discovery and made no
effort to protect it.
1t is to be presumed that the treasure
had been removed from the vaults in
Berlin long ago. The hiding place was
selected we'll had it been a complete Sc
cret. The way it turned out Hitler as we'll
have put up a sign.
If the Nazi war criminals do not do
better job of hiding out themselves. their
days most surely are numbered.

THE STRlKE-VOTE PARADOX
(Christian Science Monitor)

(ChriStian Science MOnitOr)
1t is fortunate that so many unions
have refrained from asking official strike
votes under the Smith-CCnnally Act as
means of eXerting bargaining pressure.
The exceptions illustrate the restraint
that most labor organizations have placed
on themselves. Outstanding among the
exceptions are those supplied by the Tex
tile Workers Union (CIO), which is now
calling off its requested strike vote be-
cause it is getting what It wanted in the
way of wages.
The Smith-COnnally Act wasn't sup
posed to work that way. 1t was designed
by its optimistically misguided authors
as a strike deterrent. The provision of
strike vote after a 30-day "cooling-off'
period was expected to produce an anti
strike majority. Experience during the
war, however, taught labor-union people
that a prime way of getting action from
Government officials, as we'll as unwill-
ing employers was to threaten a walkout.
An official threat, conducted under the
auspices of the Government, such as this
strike-vote procedure, often proved most
effective of all.
What situation! The National Labor
Relations Board required by law to take
strike votes when asked, and the National
War Labor Board set up by law to pre-
vent strikes
The many labor unions that have want
ed. and often deserved, wage raises and
yet have not talked strike in wartime de-
serve public applause.

Lucena. capital of Tayabas province.
A juncture of the two forces would
complete the enlightenment OF Vlr-

The compressing drives by the
14th Corps at the northern end OF

mental combat team at the south
was taking a heavy toll OF the en-
emy's dwindling forces.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's COM
munique disclosed that 6495 Japan
ese were killed and l79 captured
during the past week, bringing the
enemy's total casualties in the Phil
ippines campaign to 3l4,854.

l58th troops seized the town of Ba-
con, Philippines entry point of the
Trans-Pacific cable, after a o.
mile amphibious hop from Legaspi,
which was captured Easter Sunday.
Other 158th units continued to
push northwestward from Legaspi,
on Albay Gulf, although the drive
was somewhat slowed by strong
japanese machine gun and mortar
fire. Front reports said most of the
japanese in the Legaspi area were
navy personnel assigned to delaying
action.
