American Legion, has protested
against the closing of administra-

into at least 60 three-room apart
ments. Through it's state adjutant,
Julian A. Todd, the Legion urged
that immediate action be taken by
some individual or individuals, or
an appropriate state agency" to
use the buildings for housing. ut
seems absurd to me- Mr.. Todd de-
clared, that with housing so
scarce our returning veterans can't
find any place at all to live we are
just abandingin these buildings at

$500 U. S. EMPLOYEES
That Many in Delaware Make Six
Million Annually


More than $500 federal civilian
employees are working in Delaware,
according to figures received here
yesterday. Assuming the employ
es average $4,000 a year each in
salaries, a conservative estimate,
the total annual payroll of the fed
eral civilian employees here would
exceed $6,600,000. Closing of Fort
DUPONT will mean sharp reduc-
tion in civilian employees in the
Delaware City area. The War De-
partment employed the largest
number, 1888, the Postofice De-
partment second with 794, the
OPA third with 1877, and the De-

Senator Tunnel and his committee
have started an inspection trip to
take the group to Pacific bases,
China, Burma, India, and Europe
to inquire into the subject of util-
izing shipping and other transpor-
tation facilities with a view to
speeding demobilization.
Return of Vets
"If there is bottleneck in our
transportation facilities" Senator
Tunnel said, 'it must be broken,
or if our ships and planes are being
used for other purposes, this prac-
tice must stop. Our men in the
service and their families have
made too many sacrifices already
and their return to their homes
should not be delayed one day
longer than absolutely necessary"
Other Studies
Additional subjects into which
the committee will inquire are: The
quantity, character and location of
supplies, estimates of supplies
needed for future military use, any
programs for the supplying of al
lies, salvage and reclamation oper-
ations, investigating reports of
waste, disposal of surpluses abroad,
establishment of permanent mil

OPA RAISES
COAL PRICE
Increase of Ten Cents Per Ton
on Coal, Coke and Other
Solid Fuels
EFFECTIVE YESTERDAY

Retail prices for all kinds of coal,
coke, and other solid fuels was in
creased 10 cents a ton Tuesday,
the OPA announced. The increase
will be applied to Delaware
through amendment of the order
providing for dollars and cents cell
ing prices here, it was indicated.
The amendment is expected from
the regional OPA office in New
York. The increase is the second
upward revision in coal prices in
recent weeks. A change ordered
about a month ago affected prices
to consumers but did not change
the dealers spread. Dealers have
been permitted to pass on to con-
sumers all increases granted to
producers, but heretofore they
have not been allowed to widen
their individual earning margins,
except in few cases.
The general increase covers all
solid fuels except firewood, and in
cludes such products as briquettes
and Ignite. 1t was granted, OPA
said, to compensate dealers for
higher cost of operation, and "to
assure essential supplies during the
current heating season." The price
adjustment will expire next April
