CLOTHING PRICES TO
BE RAISED UNDER OPA

Washington - Clothing prices
soon will begin shooting up and
by Fall will have reached unpre-
cedented heights as a result of
new price control law, a high
OPA official said.
OPA plans to issue new and
higher prices on all cotton and
wool fabrics within the next week
to conform with provisions of the
price control bill. Prices on near
ly all cotton or wool garments
will be announced within a
month.
The OPA official pointed out
that more than half of the ma
TONS clothing is made of cotton.
He said that clothing prices are
already at record highs and those
for cotton clothing are going up
and up.
He estimated that the cost of
wool garments will be only slight
ly higher than they are now.

DIR. Julian Miller
Dies On Sunday
Distinguished Editor Of The
Charlotte Observer Dies
Of Heart Attack

Charlotte-Dr. Julian S. Miller,
SO, editor of the Charlotte OBJ
server since 1885, died of a heart
attack at Lumberton, N. c., Sum
day.
A member of the North Caro-
lima Board Of Education, DR.. Mill
er served as president of the
North Carolina Press Association
in 1914 and 1945 and was gen.
orally regarded as among the
States outstanding editorial writ
ers. He became editor of the OBJ
server in 1885, succeeding the late
Colonel Wade H. Harris.
DR.. Miller was SO years old, and
though he had been suffering
from a heart ailment for more
than two years, his death was un-
expected.
The funeral was held at 4:30
p. m. Tuesday at Sardis Associat-
ed II e I o r m Presbyterian
Church, where his father was pas
Tor for many years.
A graduate of Erskine College
at Due West, S. c., in 1906, DR..
Miller had been in newspaper
work virtually all of his adult
life. He served for a brief pc
riod after his graduation on the
taft of a newspaper at Butler,
Pa, later becoming a member of
the staff of the Observer. In
1915 he was named editor of the
Charlotte News, a post he held
until 1882 when he resigned to
become public relations director
for Federal relief in North Caro-
lima.

New OPA Measure May Be
Strengthened IL Necessary

Washington-President Truman
signed the new price control act
with reluctance" Thursday -
and with a notice to Congress
that if it proved inadequate, he
will call special session to
strengthen it and perhaps raise
taxes.
The bill was signed into law at
4:O5 p. m. on Thursday. At that
moment the rent and price cell
ings which lapsed June 80 went
back into force, except on items
specifically exempted.
Two hours later the President
sent a message to Congress to
place on the record a statement
that the measure falls far short"
of being one with which his adj
ministration could guarantee "sta-
BILE prices"
But he said that while tn
present measure hv no means
guarantees that initiation can be
avoided" it offers enough prom
Use that he was willing to accept
it and try.
Then, he declared that because
of its "defects" and "the months
Of delay" by Congress in passing
it, "it is all the more apparent
that more extensive use of tho
power to allocate scarce materials
may be required and that stern
fiscal and monetary measure
than would otherwise be Gale
for may prove to be niece ssarv.
He called upon consumers and
businessmen to cooperate wit
the Governments efforts in ''the
battle against inflation," and de
livered this closing remark:
eff it appears that all the eff
forts Of the Government and the
people will not be enough under
the present legislation, l shall
have no alternative but to call
the Congress back in special ses-
sion to strengthen the price con-
vol laws and to enact such fiscal
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1946-08-01

and monetary legislation as we
need to save us from the threat
of economic disaster"
The President clearly had pos
sible tax rise in mind in this
connection. Discussing the meas
ures necessary to fight initiation,
he mentioned further reduction
of Federal expenditures" and
then went on!
eff, despite such measures, in
flation still threatens. considera
ton must then be given to the
formulation of a more rigorous
tax policy. Such a tax program
would, I realize, be unpalatable
at a time when we are doing our
utmost to increase production, but
if it is the only alternative to the
ravages of initiation, we would
have no choice"

Army To Recall l, l25 Reserve
And National Guard Officers

The War Department has an
nounced the increase in quotas,
for recall to active duty, OF l,O0O
National Guard and Reserve OF
ficers of all grades for service
with the Civil Affairs Division,
an additional 40 for service with
the Intelligence Division, IS for
service with Foreign Liquidation
Commission, and SO additional
for service with Finance Depart
ment.
This and previous authoriza-
tons make a total of 1888 va
cancies available to officers who
have gone on inactive duty or
terminal leave but who desire
further active duty. War De-
partment representatives indicat-
ed that this number may be in
creased in the near future.
Although the War Department
is authorized to recall officers
to active duty without their con-
sent during the emergency, it is
desired to fill these vacancies
with volunteers. Accordingly,
quotas have been established to
meet the needs of each of the
branches of service whose person
mel problems have been made
acute by the rapid rehabilitation
of the Army.
Volunteers under this program
may elect to serve for an unlim-
tied length of time or for IL,

Department recognizing that such
volunteer officers should have
some degree of assurance that
their services will be utilized for
the entire period for which they
volunteer, plans for this policy to
remain in effect until the Army
obtains a permanent postwar
status. At present, the War De-
partment cannot foresee any cir
cumstances which would cause
separation of officers prior to the
completion of their volunteer pc
riod.
