By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.--Chester
Bowles, OPA administrator, today
appealed to his critics in industry
to reverse their stand against con-
tinuing price control, and then
heard his policies denounced by
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
as leading to a depression such as
that of 1882"
The OPA administrator told the
National Association of Manufac-
turers, THE Nation has already
saved $4,000, 100000 by not taking
your leaders advice" and he asked
the $500 members registered for
their 50th annual meeting to re-
pudiate MANS stand for repeal OF
all price controls by February IS.
Senator Taft Immediately coun-
tered that Mr.. Bowles was grad
ually setting up a complete control
of profits instead OF prices"
"Propa ganda" Charged. .
"The OPA is propagandizing wild.
ly for a further renewal of its
powers after July l." Senator Taft
charged, saying OPA inserted with
every allotment check to dependents
of servicemen in October a card
urging housewives to watch the
price line.
"Over 100000 of these cards
were sent to the families of service
men, probably the most blatant
piece of propaganda in which any
Government bureau has engaged to
perpetuate ITSELF" Senator Taft
said. "And yet Mr.. Bowles talks
about pressure groups. am begin

groups saying that prices must be
controlled for long time to come.

of those kilograms is from the Once

of material and labor. Senator Taft
said, make higher prices the neces-
sary and inevitable result"

which will produce hardship on
many. speculative profits for few

depression such as that of 1882" the
Senator declared.
Mr.. Bowles told the NAM he would
deal in frank statements and blunt
opinions, and said his most wig

their leaders and those of the Ma

and the Association Of Real Estate

During the recent coal strike 1t
is estimated the Nation lost ap-
proximately 3,50O,O0O tons of coal
Cnot mined). This is probably the
reason for the OPA statement which
says coal users cannot expect to get
more than 80 per cent of their nor
NAL supply for the coming season.
Last year we were allowed 871b
per cent and that was barely suffi-
cent, even with a mild winter, It is
therefore important that you and l
who use coal use it sparingly ani
efficiently.
In order to get the most efficiency
from your coal, your heating plant
must be in good condition. The
first step is to see that all SCOT is
cleaned off the inside or heating
surfaces in the f1ueways of your
furnace (open top door, Also clean

An estimate was made this week
that Washington may spend ap-
proximately $55 100000 annually in
home building, provided the city
retains in the postwar period the
share of national construction ii
had in 1910.
The estimate was made by the

tional income and residential build
ing.
1t is predicted on the assumption

that national income will approx
mate S120,o00,000 annually in the
first 10 postwar years.
About $33, 100000 of the estimated
amount would be in homes costing

hungry, already had prepared two

lots of fresh milk on hand when the
picnickers arrived.
Father Edward Hutchinson, rector

Intosh headed the picnic commit
tee which supplied weiners with all
the trimmings.
The young people all had the time

rode horseback, played the piano,
and sat around the campfire telling
tall stories. The McKims have set
up a number of athletic rings in
the barn, and the boys gave them a
