COP LEADER SEES
PARTY ASCENSION
Reece Asserts Republicans
Will Take Control In
November

RAPID CITY, S. D., June SIP
Chairman Carroll Reece of the
Republican national committee ex-
pressed confidence today that his
party would win control of Con-
gress in next November's general
elections.
Here to meet Republican state
chairmen from Middle Western
states who were gathered for a
three-day conference, Reece told
a press conference he believed the
COP would add 40 to As seats to
its present total in the House of
Representatives. A gain of 26
would give the party a majority,
he added.
He said the major part of the
predicted gains would be made in
Connecticut, pennsylvania, Cali
fornia, Illinois, and Michigan.
He predicted the Republicans
would capture Senate seats in New
York, especially if Senator Meade
enters the gubernatorial race, and
in Rhode Island, West Virginia,
Washington, and Idaho. The COP
needs nine to control the Senate.
1--WE have in the White House
a man who is bewildered and in
capable of giving leadership to the
people in this crisis" Reece as
serted.
1.-THE political action committee
and its S., 900, 900 campaign fund
will be the biggest force we have
to go UP against. The Democrats
$4,000, 900 fund is only an auxiliary
torce and the opposition party is
no more than a free agent for the
Pac."

First Shipment OF Material
Unloaded On Waterfront
In August, 1915

AS the U. S. Customhouse here
is being renovated with interior
decorators repainting walls and
ceilings and preparing to remove
the two flagpoles, which have been
landmarks for years, a Whining
tonian yesterday recalled the ar
rival of the first load of building
materials in August, 1915, for the
erection of the building.
Mrs. J. M. Kornegay, of Wrights-
vile sound, who in 1915 was Miss
Mildred Hunt and an employe OF
the American Naval stores, on
Princess street, said the tract on
which the customhouse now stands
was then occupied by a row OF
boarding houses.
AS she worked nearby, the rear
of the pile drivers used in early
construction of the large building
reminded her of an earthquake.
Buildings in the area shook when
the men began work on the million
dollar structure, which was cree
led in the fast time of one year,
she recalled.
Il can remember the foreman,
who used strong language during
the original breaking of ground,
she said," he used to cuss, his
workers, and then look up and
notice me, and apologize. Then
he'd 60 right on cussing."
First materials for the building

Weems, a steamer which sailed

German submarine blockade. The
ship, property Of the Baltimore,
and Carolina Steamship company.
had been torpedoed just prior to
her delivery of the customhouse
construction materials, Mrs. Kor-
negay reported
Mrs. Kornegay took a photograph
of the lumber and cement blocks
piled high in the area and today
it presents al interesting sight to
persons anxious to construct ccm-
mercial buildings under Civilian
Production administration restric-
tions.
Actual erection began in early
1916, and a well-known government
official, whose name Mrs. Kor-
negay could not recall, spoke at
the site of the corner stone, one
year later, when the building was
completed.
Mrs. Kornegay said she recall
ed after the Henry L. Weems had
delivered the original load of con-
~struction materials, it. left Will
mington with a cargo for Europe.
She said the Baltimore and Caro-
lima line was then operated by
Mason Williams and Henry L. Will
liams.

STRAWBERRY PRICES

An incident which illustrates in miniature some of the basic principles of prices in free market comes from Tucson The facts, reported in The Arizona Daily Star published in that city were as follows:
 On April 12 the OPA ceiling of 34 cents was re- moved from strawberries. plentiful crop was just coming onto the counters
 On April i3 strawberries selling for 60 cents a box in Tucson.
 On April l6 strawberries were being offered there for 49 cents
 That afternoon the price was down to 45 cents in most downtown stores
 On April IT the downtown price dropped to 39 cents and April 20 just six days after the removal of the controls strawberries were 29 cents box 5 cents below the former ceiling price.
 The Arizona Daily Star correctly believes that this is capsue-szed picture of what would probably happen to many commodities where the supply is plen- tful if the controls removed and the ordinary laws of supply demand and competition allowed to operate There will be initial splurge of high prices buyers will not pay those prices, and the buying public by waiting it out will profit as competition steps in and forces prices down.
 This is part of the to those who ask what would happen to commodity prices if OPA controls are not extended. What happened in strawberries in Tucson fseaso an illustration of the principle that
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-05-24

in a free market Prof. Harley Luz has put it, the most effective remedy for high prices is high prices When the price of given commodity rises the profits in producing it rise this leads existing producers tc increase their output and producers to enter the field and the increased supply brings prices down again.
 This does not that removal of all price controls would be followed by mere furry of higher prices and that prices would then fall below the existing ceilings This might happen in some cor- modities, it did in strawberries, but the majority of prices would be kept up partly by continued short ages mainly by the increased monetary purchasing power brought into being by the Governments budget and fiscal policies But does the OPA exist primarily try to protect the country from the consequences of the Treasurys fiscal and monetary policies? Wouldn't the whole thing be simplier if the Treasury just dis continued those policies?

 Republican Senator Bourke Hick- enlooper of Iowa took issue with Pepper, assuring him that "those who walk in the true path of Re- publicanism are also walking in the true path of democracy
 And, always anxious to get a word in, Republican Whip Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska expressed the appreciation by Senate Republicans for "the loan by the Senator from Florida of Representative Dingell, though he did so for only a short time''
