Thank you very much, Mr.. Jmes.
Mr.. James, you folks probably
know, is the former owner of the
well-known James Book Store here.
Now, is looks to us as though
Mr.. James might just possibly
be trifle homesick for the old

And we know that the Hudson,

evoke the nostalgia splendor Of
the Cape Fear.
And we know, too, that the side

possibly mean to AL Smith what

Relief Claim Pending.
1t was stressed, however, that the

was still pending before OPA, and
may eventually mean even higher
menu prices.
Government Services asked for
price relief months ago, baSlng its
claim principally on higher labor
costs.
Meanwhile, the Washington Res

about new prices, pending clarifica-

The industry feels, however. that
