charge that OPA price controls have throttled pro- ducton and primarily responsible for the dearth of many articles in short supply? Our reply is that 1t just isn't so Undoubtedly production has been held up in some industries by strikes It is also true that goods have to extent, been temporarily withheld from market in the hope of price increases following the expiration of the Price Control Act on June 3O But after all employment figures are the best possible cew to an employers opinion of the industrial outlook and excellent gauge of his willingness to produce We refuse to believe that manufacturers would be hiring workers and competing among themselves for the services labor, if they had been losing money under price ceilings Maladustments of production caused by faulty price regulations of course, exist with the result that nonessena goods are more easily obainable than essentials In opinion this misplaced emphasis is largely responsible for mis- taken belief that abandonment of all price controls would turn shortages into abundance.
 Exaggerated ideas of the extent and intensity of shortages are also fostered by failure to distinguish between shortages that result from subnormal produc ton and shortages resulting from abnormaly large demands great many so-called shortages of the latter type On examination they resolve themselves into scarcites that due to combination of pent- up demands and full purses Only time effect a balance between market supply and demand in such Furthermore, just beginning to recover from the blow dealt the economy by the coal and steel strikes. Steel probably will continue to be industry for time. Civilian Production Administrator Small reports that operations at coal mines and steel furnaces recovering rapidly, but have not yet regalned the nigh levels of last March Moreover if the steel industry operating at full capacity it is doubtful whether it would be able to meet all demands.
 The automobile industry is also expanding it's output rapidly, although it is long way behind its production schedule not because of pricing difficulties but because of labor troubles and all sorts of shortages resulting strikes and transport difficulties Hous ing shortages present another problem that not going be solved by removal of price controls the contrary the progress that has been made to date is being eopardized by rising costs of building materials.
 Apart from such a-typical instances of shortages, employment figures and current output gains in specific industries create hopes that the period Of acute shortages for many kinds of goods will be over at no distant date, disorders do not arise to halt progress. In face of abundant evidence to show that price controls have not prevented output
 from expanding it would seem the part of wisdom to maintain those controls for brief period until output overtakes consumer demand for various goods at reasonable price levels.

PROLIX MIR. KENNY

So the Justice Department, in dignant at Kenny's 822-page vol ume, filed one of the rarest of le- gal motions. It called upon the Supreme Court to strike the Cali fornia answer on the grounds that it was "prolix" and so muddled that it was virtually impossible to se- gregate the well-pleaded facts for the purpose of determining the issues"
 In citing reasons for asking the Supreme Court to strike the Cali fornia answer, Solicitor General Howard McGrath went all the way back to a decision handed down by British court in 1596-the case of Richard Mylward
 Mylward had filed brief before the British court amounting to 'six-score sheets of paper" and the British judges were so outraged over this long document that they fined Mylward and further ordered:
 The Warden shall bring him into Westminster Hall on Saturday next, about ten of the clock in the l forenoon, and then and there shall cut a hole in the myddest of the same engrossed replication (brief) and put the said Richards head co,,,a Io1a And tha,, the same so hanging, shall lead the 1 same Richard, bare-headed and i bare faced, round about Westmin- l ster Hall, whilst the courts are sitting, and shall shew him at the bar of every of the three courts within the hall"
 Solicitor General McGrath did not exactly say so, but he implied that California's Attorney General Kenny should have a hole cut in his 822-page brief, and be paraded around the Supreme Court build ing with the brief around his neck.
 Indignant MT. Kenny, however, replied that the Justice Depart ments motion would deprive the great state of California of its legal rights.
 Finally Justice Hugo Black call ed in both Kenny and McGrath and gave the state Of California a rebuke He told Kenny he con- Sidered McGratb'c motion ,ororor and justified. Were the state of California not involved, he said the Court probably would grant the motion to strike the 822-page answer Since a state was involved, however, he said he would let the answer stand.
 Kenny won out on his main strategy, however-to stall for time.

CALIFORNIA OIL RUSH

The issue which helped defeat Ed Pauley for Undersecretary of Navy -Tidewater Oil Lands-is coming up in the Senate again, with Sen- ator Pat McCarran of Nevada do- ing his best to jam the bill through before Congress adjourns.
 The bill would give the 48 states title to submerged oil lands under the ocean-bed rather than letting the Supreme Court decide whether they belong to the States or the Federal Government.
 U Meanwhile, Attorney General Bob Kenny of California has done some of the most adroit stalling in years. He and the Justice Depart .ment have been in race to see whether h could get the Tide lands Oil Bill passed by Congress before the Justice Department could get the question before the Supreme Court. It now looks as if Kenny has won. Here is how he did it:
 Last winter, when both California and the Justice Department were to file briefs before the Supreme Court, Kenny petitioned the Court for two months delay. This was granted
 When the two months expired Kenny filed one of the longest briefs in history It was three vol umes thick and 822 pages long. Ii is customary to make Supreme

HEART AND HOME
 This is fortunate day for young people seeking employment and for those who, of necessity, are living away from home. It is an suspicious wedding day.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 New industrial uses of teleYs ion will effect big savings in money and greatly reduce the phy- sical risks of factory workers. Of more interest to the man in the street will be the perfection of a television set as small and as cas- fly carried around as the present personal radio receivers.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 A national survey would disclose that a small minority is responsible for Aae majority of complaints over the food shortage. Most Americans are entirely willing to do with less in order that the millions still fac ed with starvation abroad may have a little.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 The general acceptance of the Macarthur regime in Japan would indicate that the Japanese now have the kind of government they can understand and appreciate With the ultimate withdrawal of U. S. troops, however, disorders are inevitable.

INCOME TAX PAYMENTS

Recently in an editorial we pointed out that one thing that makes it difficult for Alaska to collect enough taxes to Territorial affairs is the large sums which the Federal government extracts from the people of the Territory each year in income taxes.
 At that time we quoted figures for Alaska which were incorrect as several of readers have since pointed out.
 Here is what Aaskans have paid into the Federal treasury in income taxes during the last three years:
 1914 --..-....--..........$l $l6,89l,777
 1o45 ......... 17,915,501
 le46 ... 13 37,828
 At present the Territorys budget for two years is around S6 900 000 the rate of $3OOOOO0 year Thus in l945 the Federal Government took from Alaska an amount almost six times as great as the Territory took in taxes. In the same year figuring 5000 people in Alaska all paying taxes, each ndl- vidua paid an average of $266 year to the Federal Government and the Territory not taking into account city taxes and other Federal taxes than income taxes P The Federal Government, recognizing that Terri tory needs tax money more than a Well-establlshed State and perhaps also taking into account the fact that the people of Territory are taxed without rep resentation in Congress refunds Federal income tax collections to the Territory of Puerto Rico Why not do the same for Alaska?
