Prices For Fats
More Than Double
Those Under OPA

With the lifting of price cell
ings a substantial countrywide
rise in the price paid women for
their salvaged used cooking fat
has developed, according to on
the-spot newspaper surveys. Re-
ports from representative cities
all over the country show that
most meat dealers are paying
higher prices to housewives for
used kitchen grease. Top prices
as reported are:
Boston, Mass, seven cents a
pound; Buffalo, N. Y, ten cents
a pound; Chicago, ILL.,, dealers
average eleven cents a. pound;
Cincinnati o., ten cents a pound;
Frankfort, KY, eight to ten cents
a pound; Lorain, O., ten cents a
pound; Los Angeles, Cal, from
four to eleven cents a pound;
New Britain Conn, seven cents a
pound; New London, Conn.,, sew
en- cents a pound; Omaha, Nebr.,
ten cents pound; Philadelphia,
Pa, ten cents a pound; Schenec-
tady, N. Y, six to ten cents a
pound; Sioux Falls, S. OAK, ten
cents pound; Union City, N. j.,
eight cents pound.
Under OPA rulings meat deal
ers paid housewives four cents a
pound for kitchen grease. Saw
ing fat is now a much more luc-
rative job, as these newspaper re-
ports show. Every drop of used
household fat is still needed and
when turned in helps make soap,
electrical appliances, paint, auto
mobiles, tires, paper and other
hard-to-get products. e

Three Possible Answers Seen
In Mi||ionuire's Disappearance

Mr.. Bar said he was wearing the
necklaces around his neck.
The search proved fruitless.
While investigations continue. %
teakwood cases loaded with jewels
and pieces of art valued at about
s250,000, property of the missing
man, lie in bond, unopened.
The French consul in Vancouver
said he had placed the consulate
seal on each chest and even police
are not permitted to open the boxes.
A list of the contents includes 10
agate cups which are said to have
carried a curse since they were
stolen from Pekin palace in China
40 years ago.
Superstitious crew members have
blamed the curse for the series of
events that marked the ill-fated
voyage up to the time M. Bar dis
appeared.
A Chinese coolie fell into the
Samwater's hold, the bosun went
berserk; the ship had stormy seas
until the night M. Bar was last seen
The following day the seas were
calm for the first time.
DR.. j. D. Whitbread, coroner, said
it was unlikely there would be an
inquiry for at least a week.
A son of M. Bar was reported en-
route from Paris to Vancouver to
lay claim to the fortune in the
teakWOOd boxes. M. Bar had told
the captain he intended to sell
part OF the collection in New York
then retire in Paris.

Mr.. Buckle. editor of zion's Herald
a Methodist Church publication,
told 400 delegates to the biennial

of America that many church
leaders have turned away from the
work of the reformers, and virtually
adopted Roman Catholicism and
clericalism in their policy"
The refusal. for example, of the
Federal Council of Churches to
admit the Universalist Church into
membership of that body is. in my
opinion, a strong indication that
even in our comfy We have become
clerical and theological" he said.
The Rev. Harold E. Frey, manag-
ing editor of the Christian Century
declared, continuance of Myron C
Taylor as the presidential envoy to
Rome is a direct flouting of the

tunity to impress upon the veteran
the inescapable fact that there is
not now and never will be enough
goods in surplus to meet his every
need"

the new legislation with Senator
o'Mahoney, Democrat, of Wyoming
said the plan would be put into
