Hint Decision Reached
on imported Group

WASHINGTON. July 2S-Prict
ceilings on many types of domes.
tic and imported liquors are ex.
pected to be abolished by the
OPA. possibly next week. OPA
admits il has this matter under
consideration but says no decision
has been reached.
A decision is reported 10 have
been reached TO remove ceilings
on imported wines and most types
of imported liquors. In this latter
group will probably be included
Brandy, Cordials, Liqueurs. and
other kinds of distilled spirits
with the exception of whisky.
Some trade representatives be-
lieve easing of the price regula-
tions will be broader and will in
clude all types of domestically
produced alcoholic drinks except
whisky and domestically bottled
wines.
Any action by the OPA to let
liquor prices seek their own level
would be taken under the recent
policy statement from the Office
of Economic StabiliZation which
said that price ceilings would be
removed from items which do
not influence the cost OF living.
Removal of ceilings on imported
wines and liquors is considered
important as a step in helping
revive business in European coun-
tries. Ceiling prices are said 10
be blocking the importation Of
French wine and brandy.

In appearance. the B-32 differs
greatly from the B-29. The latter
could well be called Ia Hollys

long, cigar-like appearance of It's
front section. The B-32. by the
same token. could be called

tail piece that rises 80 feet in the

The B-32 usually holds crew
of eight. The crew may vary
with the mission. The principal
members are the commander, or
pilot; the co-pilot and the aerial
engineer. who acts as flying crew
chief. Then there are the bombar-
der, navigator and special OBJ

are gunners.
