Rural telephone service is more
highly developed in this country than
in any other country in the world.
But we aren't in the business of rest
ing on laurels won, and one of the
main objectives of our $5,5OO,OOO
expansion program is to give more
and more farm families finer and
finer rural telephone service.
A big program for extending service
to farm families was interrupted by
the war. BUT NOW A BIGGER
PROGRAM is UNDER WAY.
Right now some 81 percent of the
farms in our. territory have tele-
phone service. Since 1885, the num-
Der of rural telephones has increased
nearly 120 percent.
New facilities, new methods, and
new ideas have been developed to
give them and the world a new con-
cept of just how fine rural service
can be.
A new, high-strength steel wire, for
example, will enable us to allow
longer distances between poles, thus
extending lines into isolated areas
not previously covered.

Clothing: Up 5 to 10 per cent.

Clothing: Up to 10 per cent.
 Construction: Homes and build ings already cost 60 per cent more than prewar levels; are going up at rate of } to per cent every three months.
 Automobiles: Already up g to 25 per cent above 1942, another slight increase likely above the re- cent 7.3 per cent hike.
 Refrigerators Will go up another to 10 per cent. Foods: With prices holding pretty close to highest levels, and new law now becoming effective, further price increases will come-hlt more slowly and more selective.
 Some of these predictions are beginning to come true. Over last weekend, Anderson announced his first list of ''short supply'' items as he must do the first of every month under the new law. Off the list were wool and almost all fresh fruits and vegetables. Still on his ''scarce" list were wheat and dairy prOducts-but both are uncOntrOl- led.
 BOARD DECIDES
 The fight is still on to get the De- control Board to restore dairy pro- ducts to ceilings. But Porter has been reminded by the Decontrol Board that no matter what he thinks, the Board decides.
 And Anderson has, by his actions, reminded Porter that Anderson, not the OPA will decide the future of food prices.
 Housewife, consumer, church, and labor groups are complaining bitterly about the continued trends to higher prices.
 The AFL has warned that there must be limit to price increases
 The Administration is on notice that it must make the OPA work or else.
 But, to quote the conservative United States Ne7Vs nnain:
 Despite the desire of price stabil- izers to make the new price law work, factors are present that indicate that the fight to keep living costs from rising too rapidly may be a losing one"
 President Truman said when he signed the zOmbie OPA bill, that he'd call special session of Con- gress if the bill didn't halt infa- ton.

Prices To Jump 12q6 ByEnd OfYear
(Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One)
 On the same day Bowles resigned He warned the bill would 'legallze imitation"
 On June g Truman accepted Bowles' advice, vetoed the bill. Con- gress upheld him.
 At midnight June 30, OPA died.
 Meanwhile, the price index had increased to $4.35 on June Is, up IA cents from the week before. By July 2 it was up to $4.54.
 The chart tells what has hap pened since-with a rise while OPA was dead (revived on July 25), a slight dip, and then renewed climb which has been accentuated during the last two weeks.
 With the new OPA, price cell ings were raised or difted by the thousands.
 A Decontrol Board decided that under the new law only meats of the uncontrolled basic foodstuffs needed to be recontrolled. Grains apd dairy products went their merry way.
 BATTLE DEVELOPS
 A battle developed between Ander- son and OPA administrator Paul Porter. The latter wanted little or no increase in meat ceilings above the June 30 levels. Anderson had the authority, ordered ceilings on live stock which will mean, come Sept, 9, ceilings which are considerable higher than June 30, but about 30 per cent below present price levels.
 But more price increases are due especially when subsidies are de- creased on Jan. 10, and eliminated on Apr. l. Meat packers predict a black market, and they'll probably get it.
 Free of controls, butter bounded up around 6 cents a pound. Farm CTS, who saw the bonanza they had hoped for go mainly to distribu- tors, demanded further increases in milk prices.
 Crains-cOming from a bumper crop-are going at prices so high farmers don't want to feed them to livestock for the future meat SUD- ply.
 WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
 BetsOeen June 30 and July 31, the cost Of IiUing ,0ent up 5.2 per cent. Business Week predicts that the cost Of IiUing may adUance an- other 7 per cent before the end Of I946-four months asoay.

''SHORT SUPPLY"
 On the first of each month he will make up list of all agricultural commodities in "short supply" GA commodity is deemed to be in short supply unless the supply equals or exceeds the requirements for the com modity for the current marketing sea- son). Any food or agricultural com modity not included on the secretary's list must automatically be removed from price control.
 No later than Jan. l, l947, An dersOn is instructed by the law to end price control on all agricul- tural commodities not important to living or business costs.
 Any time the secretary wishes to withdraw his approval of any action which he has previously sanctioned he may do so.
 The law specifically provides that in exercising the functions Congress has given him. Anderson shall not be subject to the direc- ton or control of any other ap- pOintive officer or agency in the executive branch of the Govern ment."

Two British Ships Sail
From Palestine for

HAIFA, Oct. 22.-Two British
ships sailed for Cyprus today
with 814 Jews stopped just short
Of their goal in an effort to enter

The Ocean Vigour and the Empire
Haywood, one-time troopships, left
here before dawn to take the immi-
grants, $50 of them women, to de-
tention on the island.
Two hundred-odd soldiers, with
little show Of force, had guided the
group off the 300-ton refugee schoon-
er Fenice and down 100 yards Of
Haifa quay onto the transports.
The Fenice, nearing the end OF a
two-week voyage from an unnamed
port, was boarded yesterday by a
party from the British minesweeper
Moon and brought into port.
Good Treatment Promised.
1--WE demand liberty on Palestine
soil!" the refugees shouted at the
boarding party. They had been
short of supplies for three days.
An interpreter promised them
food, water and good treatment, but
warned them resistance to trans
shipment would be useless and they
calmed down.
One man jumped into the harbor.
He was fshed out and given arti-
fetal respiration, and later was re-
ported recovered. Others on their
brief dockside walk frowned, wept
or cursed in Yiddish or Polish.
Some seemed exhausted, and
troops had to carry them. Fifty of
the women were reported pregnant.
