White Shirts Guilty Of Inciting Mob

NEW YORK (P)-New Workers have formed lines that extended around a city block for movies, liquor, cigarets, meat, nylons, but ter, or what have you. But it re- quired the cops to handle a mob that gathered in the Times Square section when a haberdasher ad- vertised white shirts.
 The crowd not only hampered automobile traffic but interfered with such serious business as the attendance of bobby-soxers at an early movie show.
 One of the last of $500 whiVe shirts went to man who de- clared:

THAT'S THAT

Three times in the last week, President Truman has gone into a huddle with his advisers on the meat shortage situation. With the Congressional elections less than a month away, it is doubtful whe- ther anything can be done now to offset the political effects of his stubbornness and blundering in insisting upon maintenance of price controls. The damage all ready has been done.
 The Presidents last hope of a political tout" from the meat shortage scandal went glimmering when the department of justice reported than an investigation by the FBI found no evidence of a

conspiracy or collision between the packers and cattle growers to create a meat shortage. That fixed the blame more firmly than ever on OPA price control policies. As F. E. Mollin of Denver, executive secretary of the American Nation al Livestock association, has pointed out: "The meat shortage is not due to any shortage of live stock itself. Current feed crops are the largest on record, and meat can be produced in record volume if ceilings are removed and bungling regulations done away with"
 There's another thing about this meat situation that is enough to

A Youthful Of Truth

(The Rocky Mountain News)
 Montana Rancher, interviewed by Scripps-Howard Reporter Charles T. Lucey, said this:
 The people in Washington, no mater how smart they are can't control efficiently anything complex the cattle and the meapacking business If controls went off prices would go up for while, but they would level off before long The longer Washington persists in trols, the longer there will be trouble"
 We think he spoke mouthful of truth
 And catte-and-meat is only of many infinitely complex businesses that the people in Washington trying to control with consequences that become more and more painful
 There is great meat shortage because cattle and hogs not going to the legal slaughter houses which must pay OPA prices But that isn't all There other great shortages, present impending, due to the cause

and glands of cattle.
 Lack of meat creates abnormal demand for pOul- try, fish, butter, and drives their prices upward
 If the OPA undertakes to cut their prices dwon, it is probable that they will disappear from the ketS.
 The government worries about factory inventories fears that they becoming dangerously big. But a huge part of these inventories is in the form of nearly finished products piled up at the factories because few vital parts not available. The manufacturers contend that OPA price restrictions have discouraged production of these missing parts.

make the American people see red
 One reason the supply is so short
 is because so much has been ship
 ped abroad. The United States Daily News reported a few days ago that meat exports in JuhS amounted to $37, ,000 as com pared with a monthly average of $2,l82,000 in the l936-33 period, and that meat exports currently are about Is percent of total pro- ductiCn."
 According to an Associated Press survey, in forty-fiVe of the major cities of the United States, peSple are experiencing more and worse shortages than in the darkest daI of the war. Not only meat, but soap, cooking oils and fats, sugar and many other items are scarce as the proverbial hens tooth. The war has been over for more than year, so it can't be blamed for this situation. Many factors may figure in these shortages. But there is one thing people cannot forget. Until the federal govern ment began meddling in every thing and injected a totalitarian Sytsem of price controls and regi-V mentation into the American econ omy, this country never experi- enced any shortages.
 Even Senator Pepper, Florida New Dealer, and one of the most fiery champions of price controls, IS dubious about the political wis dom of continuing this system. "I am giVin serious consideration t0 whether we should repeal all kinds of price conrtol and try to weather the bitter storm of infla- ton which will enSue thereafter" he said recently. If price control is gettin like prohibition in its last days, so public opinion is not go- in to support effective price con- trol and the Congress is not going to support it, we might just as well not try to have it."
 The price control situation is worse than prohibition was in it's last days. There were a lot of peo- pie who believed in prohibition. Fewer believe in the totalitarian theory that government should control prices. After all, this is supposed to be a free country. Many Americans were firmly con- vinced that prohibition was violation of personal liberties. Freedom of people to buy meat is a thousand times more important than any right to buy liquor.
 Apparently there is a sound basis for the charge of a federal grand jury that state officials from governor down to sheriff have failed to enforce dry laws in Kansas. But the blame really rests upon public hypocrisy. Kansas has been voting dry and drinking wet" Whether laws are enforced depends as much upon public sen- timent as upon public officials even more. If the people of Kan Sas wanted prohibition enforce ment, they would have it.

March Of Dimes

l Seventy eight Alaska children
 are on the waiting list for treat
 ment under the crippled chlld-
 ren's program of the Territory, and because of this fact half Of the funds raised in the March ot Dimes program will be retained in Alaska for crippled children
 work.
 Last year half of the funds were turned over to Public Heath Nurse Marion Gurus, but because of this special need Miss Curtis said this year the funds will be diverted to crippled child ren's use. She also pointed out that handling the funds in this manner will double the money available as the Federal govern ment will match the money rais- ed, dollar for dollar. There is a large Federal fund going beg ging, she said, because the Terri tory has not been able to raise the necessary money to be so matched.
 In connection with the March of Dimes drive Manager H. F. Macdonald of the Lyric theatre has arranged for the presentation of Nurse Curtis in brief talk at the theatre Sunday evening, where she will describe the work done in the past for Alaska child-I ren. At present there are 2 Kodi- ak children whose treatment jS made possible by the crippled children program.
 A collection will be taken up following her talk to augment the funds being gathered throughout town in collection bottles. Mayor o. A. Torgerson said the bottles will remain out until the middle or the month.
