OPA made announcements OF
these increases in rapid succession
late yesterday.
Earlier Decision Reversed.
1t followed them up with a ruling
that no ceilings apply until at least
August 90 on corned beef hash, meat
stews, tamales and chilli con carne
This reversed an earlier decision
The reason for the turn around
OPA said, is that these items con-
tain more than 20 per cent meat anc
thus must remain control-free fol
the present.
AS for the increases on flour breac
and bakery products, OPA said they
stem principally from a decision
against restoration at this time Of q
-four subsidy which lapsed July /
and from "the fact that the price OF
wheat has gone above June ceilings.
There are no price controls at pres
ent on wheat or other basic grains.
To compensate, OPA raised millers
flour ceilings Sill per 100 pounds
east of the Rocky Mountains ane
S1.24 on the West Coast. This boosts
retail flour ceilings at least a cent q
pound, the agency said.
Besides the flour increase, OPA
listed these reasons for higher price!
on bread and bakery products:
/. Higher costs of shortening anc
several other bakers raw materials
all of which are exempt from con-
troll
2. Continued restriction of output
due to the 85 per cent limitation or
-four production. This curb, OPA
said, makes it impossible for bakers
to offset cost increases by larger
volume.
Flour Increase is Temporary"
In its official announcement, OPl
termed the bread and flour increase:
temporary" The agency said they
will remain in effect "only until the
Price Decontrol Board has deter.
mined whether maximum price.
should be re-imposed (after August
20) on the basic grains"

tion of Italian economy should come
first" he said. Therefore, the pay
ment of such a large sum of money
in reparations comes down to the
question: Is it practical? We are
not prejudging, but it appears that
the solution of the Italian problem
has been approached from the
wrong basis"
Canada's interest In the question
he said, stems from the fact that
Canadian investments in prewar
Italy amounted to nearly 3o,00O, 900
Want to Hear Arguments.
The Canadian intention, gen.
orally, he said was to ask for full
information from the four foreign
ministers, who wrote the drafts, as
to the reasoning that led up to them
I'VE want to hear the arguments
including what the Italians have
to say" the spokesman said.
Canada has no direct interest in
the French italian frontier question
he stated, except as any changes in
it may affect the recovery of Italy's
economy. The delegation is study
ing the award of Briga and Tenda
to France in terms of its Importance
in the Italian hydroelectric system.
Ethiopia Asks for Colonies.
Ethiopia asked the peace confer
ence yesterday to award her Italy's
East African colonies of Eritrea and
Somaliland, which she said were
"wrung from her by italian aggres-
sion"
The first nation to make a claim
to the 81 peace-drafting countries
against the colonial empire Musso-
lini forged with arms, Ethiopia
through her chief delegate, Vice
Foreign Minister Aklilou Abte Wolde
also said she expected to receive
reparations from Italy
The Ethiopian delegate made his
country's claim for annexation of
the two colonies despite the fact
that the four-power Foreign Min
listers Council agreed to shelve the
italian colonial question for year
The ministers, however, had de-
cided to return the Dodecanese
Islands, to Greece -

however, that the increases will
have to be continued if the board
should rule against re-establish-
ment OF grain ceilings"
OPA said 1t would be admins
tratively impracticable" to restore
the -four subsidy until the board
has made its decision. Loss of the
subsidy, the agency continued, has
made it difficult for flour millers
to maintain the supply of -four to
bakers and householders throughout
the country at (previous) ceiling
prices.
The increase on cereals was
granted to bring producers earn
ings up to the minimum required
by law. On macaroni and noodles,
the price boost resulted from higher
wage and materials costs.
In the case of corn meal and
hominy grits, higher corn prices
caused the increase.
Groups to Air Views.
While OPA was pushing up CELL
ings, the Decontrol Board invited
consumer groups and industry rep
resentatives to air their views on
whether ceilings should be restored
after August 20 on meats, dairy
products, grains, cottonseed and
soybeans.
The board announced that public
hearings on this issue will open here
August IL, with the first day given
over to discussion of grain. Meat
Will be taken up August 13, cotton

Pointing out that many peacetime
safeguards against improper Gov
'ernment spending were relaxed to
achieve speed, the committee said
it wanted to find out whether or
not system could be devised that
would permit speed in procurement
but prevent loose handling of pub
lie funds"
While the committee has Of neces-
sity concentrated on mistakes and
failures and on waste, stupidity and
extravaganza" the statement said,

corrupt or inept." The committee
commended both American indus

The committees statement also
pointed out that its Investigations

be of greatest aid in discovering
loopholes and weaknesses in existing

The committee was named at

For some reason or other, the

treasurer of the veterans ticket,
said.
Meanwhile, Gov Jim McCord said
at Nashville that he would send
four State patrolmen to Athens for

beat Paul Cantrell, erstwhile State

Mr.. Woods said.
Paul Buttram, manager of the
veterans ticket, said he expected"
some city officials friendly to the
old political regime to resign.
If any do resign, he said, the
veterans will offer candidates to fill
their offices.
Also, he said, eX-servicemen will
put ticket of candidates for
State Senator and representative

A spokesman for the veterans

There is nothing your home needs-from minor

and at minimum of cost.
Here is how it benefits. Every separate trade
you call in has its separate overhead. 1t is
concerned only in doing its particular job. If there
several jobs the overheads and confusion
multiplied.
With The Ebery Plan you call for an Ebery
Plan Supervisor, without obIieating yourself. He
comes to counsel and advise-in your interest. No
matter how many trades involved, ALL the
work will be done by skilled craftsmen The
estimate you will be given will be definite
with no surprise extras" and you will realize it
is very modest - for there is only ONE

To the Editor:
We became a Republican form
of Government, based on the as.
sumption that all are born free
and equal, in a world of mon
arches based on the Biblical con-
ception of divine rights
The men establishing our form
of government were from vari-
Gus walks of life - farmers,
planters, teachers, surveyors,
tradesmen, craftsmen, with
small sprinkling of some who had
taken a law course if not prac-
ticing. 1t was this aggregation,
so composed, who, with the SIN
gle purpose of human rights,
welfare and equality, established
cur nation.
Compare their product with
that of the political lawyers in
Congress, and state legislatures,
who seem to think and act as
though law-making was a sort OF
chess game to be played by law
yers, and whose professional and
private interest was to make
them confusing they even do
confuse themselves, as well as
the courts, even the Supreme
Court, whose decisions are sci.
dom. if ever unanimous.
But who with moderate means
can reach the Supreme Court?
And justice should be as free as
air.
Or compare this product with
that of the farms, mines, mills
and factories; the very nature of
these occupations is compelling;
they must make things "fit";
time with them is important.
And they produce all wealth.
How badly we have been taken
in by that falIacy and hoax in
vented, and propagated by them
selves, that laws should be
made by lawyerS"-and it seems
for lawyers.
They who produce the wealth,
and they who are expected 10
obey the laws, should have the
big voice in their making.
