Mems Suits Cheaper
Under New Rule

Savings of as much as $500 to
$3.50 to the consumer are seen by
the Maryland OPA State office as
the result of revision of the manu-
facturer's cutoff price bringing
mems suits Except tropical weight)
selling at $35 retail under preticket-
ing regulations. After March 8 the
suits must bear the manufacturers
tag showing the retail price, the OPA
said.
AS explained by Albert L. Stern,
OPA Price Specialist, the changed
regulations, by reducing per centage
markups at retail, will bring many
suits formerly selling at $40 to $42.50
retail, to the $35 price.
Ceiling prices under the revised
regulation include the sellers Gus
tomary terms. For example, if a
retailer previously gave alterations
at no extra charge, he may not now
charge for alterations.

Dawson j. HORNE of Myersville,
Frederick County, Md, candidate
f orCongress in the Sixth Maryland

Mr.. HORNE, who was the first to
publicly advocate the repeal of the
S. auto use tax, which has since been
eliminated, announces the following
platform:
Federal aid for dual highways
and flood control in Western Mary
land; fair prices for farm products
and elimination of farm subsidies;
an extensive Federal research pro-
gram to solve the surplus produc-
ton problem Of American agricul-
ture; to find new uses for surplus
farm products in industry; to elimi-
nate and control diseases of dairy
herds in cooperation with the Live

tional schools in rural communities;
re-establish Social Security right and
benefits lost by veterans of World

troactive; national military security
through trained reserve, with uni
versal military training integrated
with academic education at an age

trainee's educational or economic
life; and, establish constitution of

There is no denying that Mr.. Ec-
ton, as private citizen and fellow
toWnsman, had a perfect right to en-
dorse Mr.. Lanes candidacy for the
Governorship, just as you or could,
if we so desired, issue a statement
endorsing the candidacy of another
Hagerstonian, H. L. Mills. But what
Mr.. Ecton seems to have overlooked
was, that due to the fact that he is
president of the Maryland Volunteer
Firemen's Association-an associa-
ton that takes particular pains not
to endorse any candidate for any
political office-his personal endorse
ment of Mr.. Lane might be construed
as an endorsement by the Associa-
tion-and that is exactly what has
happened.
Had news story been sent out,
containing the simple statement that
c. William Ecton, of Hagerstown,
had endorsed his fellow townsman,
Mr.. Lane, the possibilities are that
few, if any, papers would have car
ried it-but the story was not re-
leased in that form.
The widely published news story,
although stating that Mr.. Ecton's
endorsement was a personal one,
took particular pains to state that
Mr. F,pton WAS rreSidant of tho
Maryland Volunteer Firemens' AS
ISOLATION, and it was this reference
to Mr.. Ecton's high office in the
Association-particularly in view of
the fact that another prominent
member of the Association. Mil

Book Review At The
Library On Tuesday
MILDRED Schoen To Review
Saul Alinsky's "Reveille For
Radicals"

At the second of the spring series
of book reviews at the Washington
County Free Library, to be held on
Tuesday evening, March 5, Myldred
Schoen, feature writer for The
Globe Independent will review
"Reveille For Radicals" by Saul D.
Alinsky.
Alinsky, described by the Chicago
Sun as 'hard-boiled sociologist and
criminologist, who refuses to pull
punches when he believes the well
fare of the people with whom he
works is being jeopardized," turned
his back on brilliant, secure, pro-
fessional chronological career and
went to work with, organize, and
fight for the workers in Chicago's
notorious Back of the Yards'-the
Jungle which marked the begin
ming of a dramatic rebirth of
democracy now spreading amongst
the people jammed in Americas in
dustrial areas.
His book wildly describes how the
people of these communities - all
races, nationalities, religions, occupa-
ticts and ages - banded together
under their own leadership to ac-
complish their ends, and Myldred
Schoen, who is a keen student of
human nature and who pulls no
punches herself when expressing
her studied convictions, would seem
to be the ideal person to review
Alinsky's work.

No Trade-In Needed
To Buy New Cars

Automobile dealers who require
that trade in be made on the
purchase of a new or used car are
in violation of OPA regulations, the

Grams and others in several sections
of the state.
1T is definite violation of OPA
regulations, said OPA, for a dealer
to insist on an "trade-in" The dealer

The resolution, without mincing
words, stated that the association
felt that Mr.. Ecton had used poor
judgment in issuing his statement,
particularly as another candidate for
governor-J. Willard Tawes-is a
past president of the Maryland Vol
unteer Firemens' Association and is
well respected throughout the vol
unteer Firemen's groups of Mary
land
The resolution then pointed out
that Mr.. Tawes had never asked for,
nor expected, an endorsement, be-
cause he is well aware of the policy
of reimbursement that the firemen
of this state have always maintained
In. connection with the candidacy
of Mr.. Tawes, it is interesting to
note that he originally intended to
file on Saturday, February 9, but,
hearing that on Sunday, February
10, along with Governor O'Conor,
DR.. Byrd, president of the University
of. Maryland, and State Treasurer
Miles, he was to be presented with
a scroll of honor by president Ecton,
on behalf of the Maryland Volunteer
Firemen's Association (see picture
above), in recognition of his work
in furthering the training program
of the Association, he postponed fill
ing his certificate of candidacy until
Monday, February II, because he did
not want to be honored by the AS

didate, for fear that it might cause
them some embarrassment.

been made that dealers wanted
purchasers to finance their cars in
stead of paying cash. This also is
a violation of OPA regulations. A
man who wants to pay cash cannot
be compelled to finance his purchase.
Nor can the dealer compel pur-
chaser to patronize any particular
company when car is financed.
Purchasers of cars who are not
familiar with ceiling prices should
consult the price clerks at their
Price Control Boards. The price
clerks are prepared to give the cor
