More understandable was the
strange case of the kangaroo that
shot the man. This happened in Aus
tralia when Arthur Crosbie shot a
kangaroo through the hind legs and
it fell on its back. Crosbie reloaded
the rifle and put the butt on the
kangaroo's neck to pin it down. The
kangaroo reached up, twined a fore
paw around the trigger and shot
Crosbie through the arm.
Prompted by the same motive of
self preservation, a rabbit that lived
just outside Louisville, KY, resent
ed the activities of William Humph-
rey, 16-year-old hunter. He stuck
out a paw from Humphreys game
bag, pulled the trigger of Humph-
rey's gun and shot him through
the foot. Humphrey now carries a
rabbits foot for luck when he goes
hunting. Guess what rabbit!

Nearly All OPA Controls
Are Wiped Out By Truman

Washington President Truman
Saturday night wiped out all
wage controls and all remaining
price ceilings except those on
rents, sugar and RICE and indi-
Gated that those on rents may be
raised.
"The law Of supply and de-
mand operating in the market
place will, from now on, serve
the people better than would
continued regulation of prices by
the government" he said in a
statement which accompanied his
sweeping executive order.
In restoring the national econ
omy to a control-free basis just
four days after the election, Mr..
Truman took one more poke at
Congress which he has blamed
repeatedly in the past for diff
cultieS with his sterilization pro-
gram.
''The real basis of our difficulty
is the unavoidable price control
law which the Congress gave us
to administer" he declared. ''The
plain truth is that, under this in
adequate law, price control has
lost the popular support needed
to make it work"
The Office of Price Administra-
ton, which has handled ceilings
and other controls, will be con-
tinued for the time being to sup
ervise sugar rationing and the
ceilings on sugar, rice and rent.
But Price Administrator Paul
Porter, who took over last June
when Chester BoWles resigned in
the midst of the extension battle
with Congress, is expected to step
out shortly.
A strong hint that some in
crease may be granted to land
lords seeking higher rents was
seen in the Presidents discussion
of the necessity for continued rent
ceilings.
1T may be that some adjust
ment of rents will be required"
he said, "but control of rents and
L
continued"
The price control act under
which rents are controlled is
scheduled to expire June 80. Mr.
Truman has indicated previously
that he will ask its continuance
| but the attitude of the Republi-
can-controlled Both Congress ap-
Epeared uncertain.
