NEW YORK, July ct was much
the same as many another reunion
after long separation-joyful but
poignant. 1t was climactic part
of a 2-year-old drama that touched
heartstrings around the world.
A taxi sped up to a little ter
raced house in Elmhurst, Queens.
A man raced from the house to
the cab.
With stifled sob, Norah Rose
Carpenter sprang from the taxi into
the arms of William (Red) Thomp-
son.
Around them gathered the three
children whose birth, with a little
brother who died shortly afterwafd,
created sensation in February,
1914.
Norah had come from Heanor,
Derbyshire, England, to marry Mr..
Thompson of Pittsburgh, the father
of her children, and to make a new
home in this country.
For Is months, Mr.. Thompson, a
former CT who met Norah while
he served In England and who, after
the birth of the quads, achnowl-
edged his paternity, had awaited

Notifications inOPA Bill

The compromise OPA bill sent to
the Senate floor modifies two Of
the three amendments President
Truman singled out for "funda-
mental objection in his veto mes
sage.
But the third, outlawing so-called
cost absorption by dealers of such
things as automobiles, refrigerators
and radios. remains intact.
Here they are in the order Mr..
Truman mentioned them:
Taft Amendment.
Sponsored by Senator Taft, Re-
publican, of Ohio. it would have re-
quired OPA to include in all manu-
facturers' price ceilings the price
each manufacturer received on every
item in the October lis, 194l, base
period plus the weighted average
unit cost increase in the industry
since then.
Mr.. Truman criticized this as
complex and declared further that
l941 profit margins were half again
as great as in the banner year of
1929"
The revised amendment changes
the base period to the full year 1910
and provides that added costs be
computed on an industry wide,
rather than a specific unit, average
basis. In addition, various excep-
tions are provided to give wide lati-
tude to the OPA, subject to the
emergency court of appeals.
Wherry Amendment.
Written by Senator Wherry. Re-
publican, of Nebraska, it specified
that ceilings for distributors, whole
salers and retailers must allow them
their January, 1916, markups or dis
counts based on current costs.
Mr.. Truman said it gives a final
boost to prices tafter the Taft
amendment) by requiring the pyra-
miding of manufacturers increases
at the wholesale and retail levels"
Under the new version, OPA is re-
quired to make due allowance" for
current costs, plus the percentage
discount or markup in effect June
%, the day before OPA died.
Crawford Amendment.

Crawford, Republican, of Michigan

Corn jumped from S144 to 1925

Butter in the Chicago wholesale
market rose to 7075 cents pound
from Sc cents under OPA.
Under the impact of these and

index of weighted wholesale spot
prices on 35 commodities stood to-

sealed. a week ago.
When, how and if all these price
jumps would be translated into the
final cost of what people eat and
wear was matter of conjecture.
During this week of considerable
confusion for businessmen general
ly, spot check on retail prices

this provision specifies that OPA,
may not interfere with the normal
profit margins of dealers handling
'reconversion" items-those whose
production was curtailed by the
war. 1t is designed to end OPAs
previous practice of requiring deal
ers to absorb portion of the in
creased costs of those items on the
ground that no particular sales ef-
fort is required.
Mr.. Truman applies the same
"pyramiding" objection to this
amendment, but it was kept in the
bill by the Senate Banking Com
mittee.
The other principal provisions
also remain unchanged:

about, and city police were investi-
eating today, reports of a holdup OF
a Club that was said to have net
ted the bandits anywhere from
$35, 600 to 100000.
High police officials said they had
heard of the report, but were unable
to find a definite basis for it. And

Of them, so we could go ahead with

Commenting on the testimony,
Chairman Mead said: The end
effect of this meddling in the proper
routine of Army procedure is to
place the men who are trying to
supply the troops under a mutual
hazard. A few men, eager for IA
vors they are not entitled to, can
interrupt the whole program and
be demoralizing influence.
If you had few men like that
in every ordnance district. there
would be chaos in production. The

the more serious the demoraliZa-
tion."

Attorney Wayne Johnson said

tions maker whose wartime

The FBI report said that Carson
