surance from the Office of
Price Administration that a

ment policy to require that re-
tailers' payments of ration
coupons for sugar be made at

Move Peace Problems

The Italian government in letting it be known that it will sign disastrous treaty, has added another complication the delayed attempt of the Big Four W make even a beginning of formally ending the war.
 There is natural tendency to resent ltays attitude Granted that the country in the curious position or having been both and co-belgerent But the ltaian gov ernment seems be remembering only the 20 months or cobegerency rather than the 39 months of active AXIS partnership in Hitlers war. ,
 Italy threatens continue living indefinitely under the present amstice peace terms not to her liking This would be extremely uncomfortable and embarrassing to the United States Popular sentiment here is to get many out of uniform possible The Army undoubtedly mas arrived at it's estimate of manpower needs without taking into account long occupation of Italy, And the Army is having enough trouble getting it's needed complement o1 peacetime troops 1t IS.
 But possibly talys desire is less to embarrass than to protect herself So long there no peace treaty there will be sizable of American and British troops Tn Italy And with Marshal Ttos army milling around tne frontier menacngy large numbers the of An glo-American forces would undoubtedly be welcome
 It is hard to guess what Russas attitude will be to all ts On the surface stubborn Italian refusal to give up Trieste to Yugoslava might to be just what would please the Kremn least Yet the line of Russian policy recent propaganda indicates that such circumstance might be adapted to Russia's advantage.
 The Kremn has recently boasted to the Russian people of the size and might of their has told them that fascsm the march the west and has hlnted that the United States is making warlike gestures
 So the continued presence of American troops in Italy would not only add grst to the propaganda mill but would give Russia excellent to keep troops indefinitely in lYugosavia and elsewhere in Central Europe.
 administer the trusteeshp of taiys colony of Trpotana She also wants to Trieste to Yugosava There IS possibility that Russia might give in demand for free hand in the other On the other hand the west democracies being ays side in the Trieste matter favorng United Nations control of Italian colonies have less to bargain with.
 Of course there the question of the Vatican with it's intense hatred of Communism and it's great influence in Italy This would be the greatest stumbling block any getogether between Moscow and Rome But there is the precedent of the recent pachup of Russas relations with Argentina to rule out the impossbiy of similar ment with Italy.
 What will be the eventual result of Italys stand the peace treaty be foreold But certainly will neither improve international relations speed the final settlement.

Exit, MT. Bowles

The bill extending the life of OPA, like so much other legislation enacted these days is to almost everyone concerned in that it's compromise nature extends the OPA nor kills entirely Extremists on both sides are never satisfied with these halfway measures yet nracca legislators recognize fact that such as those now obtaining Washington only such egs lation is possible. .
 Regardless of how feels about the b resignation f Economic Stabzer Chester Bowes will be regarded with an equal division of opinion He to have added iue to the fire which his critics have been building under nm for some time the shape of comment which makes nm out selfish dsngenuous and stubborn bureaucrat In re- signing at this time, he in effect If you won't pay ball according to my rules, I'm going home to Essex
 That may be the part of noble devotion to principle but it is hardly the part whose devotion to the inter- ess the country and it's people ranscends poe and seconsciousness Nor might add is it the part or the practical politician who learns to give and take Tn the highly complicated game of making laws
 Mr. Bowles now becomes available beyond question for the gubernatoral nomination which is dear to his heart but seemingly somewhat less dear to the hearts o Connec cuts Democratic party leaders Whether he will fall in me to the extent of accepting proer of the senatorial nomna ton if it is made remains to be seen Come SeptemDer and terrific price rise follows the emascuated OPA Dill the opponents of OPA and Bowes may be saying s told you so In that MT.

WASHINGTON June 20-The secret sessions of Senate and House COnfcrees on extension of price control were hehlgted by the voting acrobatics of two Senators Radcliffe of Maryland and Tobey of New Hampshire.
 Ca1ief acrobat was namby-pamby Democrat George I. Radcliffe FDR.s old banking partpK who has been drifting further and further from New Deal policies ever since Roosevelts death He pro loneed the conferences two days and almost callsa4 a hOpeless deadlock by bolting his Democratic cM- leagues and voting with the Republicans to remoN2 price controls on meat, poultry and dairy products,
 It was New Hampshires usually liberal Senator Charles W. Tobey, Republican, who finally broke the deadlock and saved whatever was left of ORA by voting to continue meat-poultrydary price ceil- ings Originally he had voted to abolish them. q
 TUbey,s switcf-vote at the last minute made the score of the Senate confereeS Az in favor of OPA extension For by that time, Radcliffe was absent in Maryland listening to primary election tellers an- nounce the end of his 12year career in the Senate
 One big stumbling block to OPA continuation was the proposed three-man board with power to lift price ceilings Inside fact is that the House conferees were bitterly opposed to this board
 However, with both sides deadlocked, Democratic Representative William B. Barry of New York @ strong batler for price control moved that his House brethren back down and agree to the de-contro board-provided the Senate confereeS, in turn backed down on their demands for aboliShing ceilings on meat, poultry and dairy products
 The House me1nDerS voted OVefWneLm9ngIy TOT this compromise, but the Senators split 3-3. Rad- cliffe, who was absent, then summoned by phone to cast the deciding vote It assumed the Mary lander would go along with his fellow Democrats and vote ives" on the Barry motion. However, when he rushed into the meeting at the last minute, he threw the conference into turmoil by voting mo"
 The Democrats gasped and moaned Radcliffes vote signaled almost certain deadlock with no OPA bill at all being reported. For the three Re- pubcans who voted mo" with Radcliffe-Tobey, Robert Taft of Ohio, and Eugene MiNikin of Col orado-showed no signs of yielding
 What's bothering you?" pleaded Barry looking squarely at the Senator from Maryland. If you are worried about price ceilings being retained Mary land tobacco or petroleum, we should be able to reach understanding that. am informed that petroleum and its products will be decontroed soon by OPA."
 Radcliffe mumbled something about the "black market" in beef. He added that meat would be kept from consumers long price ceilings were re- tained on it.
 'Your vote surprises very much" snapped usually mild-mannered Senator Barkley of Ken lucky You're not following your party. It's the first time something like this has happened here and 1t makes things rather difficult"
 The Marylander flushed under the jab but stuck doggedy to his stand against meat controls Actually Radcliffe's main target beef ceilings. This hap

A Big Job to Do

WASESINGTON-The passing of William S. Hart sends the mind back sOOthingly to other days
 Those slick, rounded wooden seats, comfortable enough because you always sat the edge, and oc- casionally one collapsed with splintering crash in tl1eaters smaller and stuffier than those today
 the ndrawn breath the girlish squeal and boysh shout the poker-faced there on the screen calmly rolled cgaret and lighted 1t with one hand while his gun blazed from the other.
 It is pleasant to think about much more pleas ant. and much easier than to ponder anout tne Atomic Bomb about what to do about imitation. It seems that you can't do much about them anyhow That's for smart men in the United Nations in New York and smart men in Washington.
 The West which Bill Hart portrayed was not even beyond his own time. He saw 1t as child But the comparatively few years since have brought us from that guratively across centuries from the mag with gun to this day and the Atomic Bomb which is hundreds of thousands of men with guns, and to complex government, domestic and international to manage a complex civilization.
 Nothing is simple any Nothing is easy enough in the war; are weary of trying to Straighten it out We get tired of reading about it. And lots of people get tired of those who write worriedly about the fact that so many people just now are weary and turning to other things, and are not for ex- ample much interested in politics, political writers like this one do.
 So letters come in couched in that kindly about shoulder tone saying effect everything all right the country and the world are not going to pot. Now just quit worrying about it, and worry ing about us We've been through all these things before and we've always come out all right
 This is not to argue that perhaps we didn't al- ways come out all right It is only to emphasize again.

THE MISSING MEN
Boston Post)


 It is an amazing and wonderful record that, in our war throughout the world, fatalities among the troops amounted only to 308,978 and that of these all but 1,424 are de- finitely accounted for. Most of the men represented in the smaller fig ure are still carried as missing" for the reason that their bodies have not been found and identified although they have been gone for more than the one-year period. A recent report stated that search is still being made in the China the ater where most of these 1,424 were lost. There was no limit to the pa tience, effort and expense the searching teams expended in all theaterS of war to find missing" men or their bodies. In Europe the task was comparatively easy due to the fact that it is 8 thickly settled region. Elsewhere the task is prac- tically impossible of success, yet the search has not been abandoned. For those whose hearts are torn between dread and hope for the men who are still missing" everything pos sible is being done.
