The OPA Act, already voted
another year of life by the Sem
ate, expires June 80.
Rep. Crawford (R) of Michigan
said he would attempt to limit the
renewal period to six months and
affix a rider requiring all price
ceilings to reflect production costs
plus profits equal to those of
1939-40.
SEES THREAT TO BONDS
He maintained that the lag in
bond buying may be a public re-
action to general annoyance with
the OPA.
IL will vote to continue OPA
with all Its faults because L
believe IL has done more good
than HARM" Rep. Michener (R)
of Michigan said.

said.
Brown asked why the report OF
the banking committee, which ap-
proved a one-year extension, did
not point out that practically all
food rationing restrictions were
lifted just prior to last falls elec-
ton.
If OPA is responsible for the
food shortage, why not say so, he
continued.

Rep. Howard w. Smith (D) of
Virginia urged that OPA concen-
trate on the more important fea-
lures Of price control instead OF

raises up to the little steel for

Many enemy soldiers. in a

descend the cliffs on ropes TO
escape American gunfire, but that
vengetul japanese soldiers cut the
ropes and let the Okinawans drop
onto the rocks below.

Sistance cracked. Tokyo again re-

Patrick V. Mcnamara, acting dis
trict OPA director, was quick to
answer the spreading revolt
with the following statement:
I'VE have an obligation and
duty to enforce the law and 10
deal with violations when and
where we find them. In addi-
ton to the sanctions imposed
by the price control act itself.
the conspiracy to violate any
federal law is also violation

court challenged OPA ATTORNEYS
TO bring in the farmers which
the court declared were the
source of most black markets
in foods.

The cartoons were drawn by
Chesney in off-duty hours, and were
a free gift to the Navy publication.

Navy Department, he became KNOWN

of the more amusing aspects of
naval operations in every theater

of humor which frightened many
tense moments where the going was

Lowell Lawrence, a former news

that "row it can be told" how from
