to reflect changes in landed costs due mainly to shifting wholesale markets, as shown by periodic surveys.
 Two other important changes are incorporated in this new amendment. A number of electric irons are added to the previous list of those brands and models having specific dollars and cents ceilings in Alaska. This is indica- tive of the course of action OPA must follow as reconversion goods come onto the market.
 The other major change is a widespread revision of specific prices for tires and tubes. This tends to reduce the average price level for passenger car tires, ad- justs prices on certain sizes and types of truck tires and tubes, and provides a differential for rayon truck tires. This revision also eliminates from the schedule many obsolete and unobtainable sizes. }.
 Retailers and dealers affected by these changes are being noti- fled in detail and will thus be able to pass along to consumers any downward revisions. Like wise, this amendment, through any of it's necessary upward ad- justments, relieves inequities to retailers caught between fixed retail ceiling and an increased wholesale cost. This latter condi- ton has been dealt with by issu- ance of temporary price orders to individuals as need was indicated, but is now provided for on a Ter ritory-wide basis OPA said.

ON PAYING DEBTS
(Alaska Daily Empire)

\AAiCoho bolly
 Debts are easy to pay-if you have the money.
 The national debt of the United States has reached the staggering total of $247,- OOO,OOO,O00, approximately $1,8OO per capita This is six times the total of the national debt of 1889. There can be no denying the fact that this tremendous ob- igation will place heavy financial load on the shoulders of every American dur ing the coming years.
 However, things are not as bad as they might seem, for-as we said-debts are easy to pay if you have the money. And the United States, while she owes more now than at any other time in history, also has a greater national income than ever before. Estimates for 1945 set the total at $150,0OO,O ,OOO,OOO Economists hope that an annual national income of $145, 5,000,000, can be maintained when the war is over and normal pro- duction again is in swing.
 If these hopes are realized the gov- ernment will have little difficulty in re- ducing it's obligations - although, of course, our taxes will continue at high levels. But if the national income falls again to the starvation levels of 1932-

OPA GIVES CEILING CHANGES ON A

In it's constant effort to pass along to both Alaskan retailers and consumers the benefit of any changes in the price structure, the Alaska OPA announces Amend ment to RMPR 288 Specific dol lars and cents ceilings).
 This amendment, effective here August 2, makes a number of changes in the maximum prices of certain commodities, such as: certain canned fruits, vegetables, cereals, coffee, flour and flour mixes. Some prices have been in creased, others have been reduced

when it went below the 10000, ,OOO, 900 mark-then it will be nip and tuck to keep the United States from financial ruin.
 Since the beginning of World War Il we have increased our national debt six times over That, in itself, is frightening unless we consider the debt increases be- tween 1916 and 1919. In those three years America boosted her obligations 20 times overland lived to tell the tale.
 We can come out of the present situa- tion without any more serious effects than series of high-tax years. But to do it we must maintain a high standard of industrial production and high rate of national employment. That will be done if American businessmen are allowed to exercise, without strangling restrictions, their own ingenuity; if the democratic system of individual enterprise is not warped by further and extended con- trols.

 "At first I toured southern cit it's and announced that I was looking for a young boy to play the Jody part" he said. "Then realized that the only children saw were the precocious type who were pushed forward by their mothers.
 "So I arranged with the boards of education that I would pose as building inspector. I would walk into class room and inspect the ceiling. Then would glance around the room for a boy who looked right for the Jody role"
 In school in Nashville, Tenn, Brown came upon Claude, dead ringer for the Jody illustrated in Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings book. Claude was called to the princi- pals office and the director talk ed to him. Brown offered him a screen test and instructed him to tell no one but his family.
 q didn't tell anyone but Nom and Dad and my sister," Claude said in pleasant Tennessee drawl. "But the next day every one in school knew about it. I guess my sister spread the news"
 Claude came to Hollywood and a test showed that he was bright young actor, even though he had no previous experience. He was hastily signed.
 During our conversation, it be- came apparent that Claude was devoted to football. He played on a team called the Nashville Vol unteers. I asked him which inter- ested him more, becoming movie actor or playing football.
 "Well," he replied, "I like the money that comes from acting. But l like football a lot too. I'd like to have both."
 But it appeared that the pig skin sport predominated. For soon he was saying, Gee, I hope the U. of Tennessee can beat Wander bilt this year."

Experts Testify h Forgery Trial Here
Witness in Lindbergh Case Called as State Witness Against pr. Roy F. Brown

A Superior Court trial involving an alleged check forgery, and mark ed by several unusual and colorful turnings, will resume next Tuesday morning before Judge James E. Murphy and a jury of seven women and five men.
 The suit is brought by Dr. E. Irene Boardman Kathan and her 95-year-old mother, Mrs. M ary Boardman, both of Prospect. against two New Haven banks, which cen- tered in a check transaction by Roy F. Brown, former operator of a Cheshire convalescent home and now an inmate at the State Prison.
 Highlighted by testimony of the elderly woman, of the prisoner, and of famed handwriting expert who testified against Bruno Hauptman in the Lindbergh Kidnapping case, the action is expected to go to the jury sometime next week.
 Expert Testifies
 Brown testified yesterday after noon that a signature on a So,0OO check drawn on the Boardman ac- count at the Connecticut Savings Bank of New Haven was Dr. Board mans signature and not a forgery He demonstrated trickery which he claims he used in getting the phy sician to sign the check.
 pr. Boardman and her handWrlt- ing expert had claimed earlier that the signature was forgery. The physician admitted signing papers for Brown, but claimed the sigma ture was not entered on the check,
 Judge Murphy in his charge to the jury Is expected to analyze the significance of the claims of forgery Whether or not the signature was a forgery is expected to be classified as a leading issue in determining where possible negligence in the transaction rests. The plaintiffs claim the banks were negligent and

they seek recovery of the $5,0OO from them.
 The famed New York handwriting expert, Albert D. Osborn, who also testified for Prosecutor Thomas E.. Dewey in the James Hines trial and numerous other noteworthy cases, claimed that the signature of Dr. Boardman on the check was a gen. uine one and not a forgery. He con- tradicted testimony of Elizabeth Mccarthy, noted Boston handwrit- ing expert, who testified for the plaintiffs that the writing was not Dr. Boardman's.
 Wife Paints
 Among the spectators in the courtroom when Brown gave his testimony was his wife, Anita Brown. Mrs. Brown left the court room abruptly during the testimony and tainted just as she reached an outer room. A sheriff and other court attaches revived her, and Brown joined her after he conclud- GU IlIo lCoIlllIOllS' 41C, 4hI S' oAO w II, and a family friend left the court house together with 2 Wethersfield Prison official who brought the prisoner to Waterbury.
 The First National Bank and Trust Co.,, of New Haven is code fendant in the suit, in which S6,000 damages are claimed. The plain tiffs claimed Brown obtained a withdrawal slip for $75 from the Boardmaps, presented it at the sav- ings bank after changing the figure to S5,000, obtained a check for that amount in Dr. Boardman's name, presented the check at the other bank after forging the doctors sig nature, and then entered the cheeks on his own account at the second bank.
 The withdrawal slip had been of fered so that Brown could obtain payment for the first months board of the elderly woman at the nurs- ing home. The transaction took place two days after Mrs. Boardman moved to the home.
