ordered a 4 per cent cut In the
ceiling prices of used passenger
cars. The value of your present
car will decrease rapidly after
the summer months.
Coal and coke: Look for price
increases up to 10 cents a ton,
due to increased operation costs
to dealers. Coal strikes will
raise these prices even higher.
Paper: Shortage continues
acute. There was a 10 per cent
increase in the production Of
paper and paperboard for jan
uary, which is a near produc-
ton high for that month. The
shortage of paper, wood and
plyWood containers has been a
big factor in delaying the ship
ment of new goods to markets.
Shortages will continue for
months.
HOUSING
Watch the Patman bill be re-
placed in the Senate by the
| Wagner-Taft bill, or a combina-
! ton of both.
/ Ceilings will not be placed on
existing housing.
Ceilings probably will be
placed on future construction.
Building will be controlled by
priority, permit system giving
veterans preference. Other con-
struction will be permitted only
if essential.
Lumber shortage is biggest
b~ottleneck for construction,
packing, furniture and other
lines. Subsidy plan will be re-
placed by allowing price in
creases.
Building costs are at their
highest level in Is years.
The talk of rent increases
will get little congressional ap-
prevail, although some provis-
ion for a fair return on prop
erty value may be written into
OPA's extension bill.
UNEMPLOYMENT
Although there are over g.
100000 drawing unemployment
pay. only 1900, 900 are listed IS
officially unemployed. Many
drawing unemployment pay are
in no hurry to get back to work
Lower peacetime SAL

What's Doing

WHATS Doing
Along with the change in the
season comes a change in the
nation wide outlook pro-
duction is gaining, strikes are
being ended, prices and wages
are Surging upward -.
STRIKES
Settlement of major strikes
brought a Semblance of labor
peace, but it isn't the real
thing. Watch for more fire
works.
Coal strike looks imminent
with John L. Lewis demanding
higher wages, shorter hours,
royalty" payments and union
ization of foremen.
Strike legislation can't miss.
The Case bill will be modified
in the Senate to avoid seriously
offending the labor bloc. Sen
ate will emphasize settlement Of
problems by companies and
unions themselves, and if medi-
alton fails, voluntary arbitra-
ton will follow. Fact finding
boards will be used only in ma
jor disputes.
Organization of foremen is
the big problem child. National
labor relations board has legal
lied the idea; companies don't
like it; both ALL and CIO want
. to organize foremen-but where
to draw the line between labor
and management is the rub
and the foremen themselves
don't know which way to jump.
Strikes will continue to be a
national headache, but should
be fewer in number, of Short
er duration and less violent.
PRICES
With the. general rise in wa
ges, a rise in prices is inevitable
OPA hopes" the cost of living
will increase only 5 per cent,
but insiders predict 5 to 10 per
cent more like it.
OPA - the "cause-of-it-all'
and "cure-of-it-all - although
blamed on all sides for the pro-
duction lag, OPA will be ex.
tended for about another year
after the June 80 expiration
date-but to stay alive it will
make compromises. Watch fo-
a relaxation in its control over
production, profits and prices.
Congress has heard from home
about need for controls over
rent, food, clothes and building,
but will try to make the OPA
Self-liquidating as production
increases, limiting OPA enforce
ment powers as much as it
dareS.
TRANSPORTATION
Railroads preparing for knock
down fight with air and motor
transport.
BY next year some 1000 new
cars, including whole new trains
will be on the rails.
Pressure is increasing for es-
tablishment of through coast
forecast service.
Use of Diesel engines for all
purposes is increasing. Be ready
for faster and smoother service.
Automobiles will not be plen-
tiful for months.
Only 10000 being made
monthly compared to 300, 900
monthly before the war.
Shortages Of upholstery and
finishing materials slow pro-
duction.
Tire production hitting five
million a month, but pent-up
demand is much more.
Truck production is close to
its $4,000 prewar monthly rate.
Backlog is great.
Prices for new cars are going
up, average 3 per cent.
CLOTHING
Despite "hold-t the line" talk.
OPA has been allowing price
increases on low-cost clothing
to encourage production.
Shirts: IL million a month
hitting the counter, but the de-
mand is over-powering. Don't
expect too much too soon.
Mems suits: Present l million
a month production will satisfy
demand in about three years.
Only solution is increased pro-
duction.
Women's clothing is not so
scarce, but is high priced, and
will go higher.

First Relief Ship Arrives

The LST, loaded with food and livestock feed, arrived at the base yesterday, and will be in to- day at the city dock to unload
 Stockmen were fortunate in having no snow until arrival of their feed orders, as all were out of feed supplies.

 An Oceanic cannery tender, chartered by O. Kraft < Son, will bring additional supplies probably Sunday or Monday to Erskine's dock
 Kraft's boat will have turkeys, chickens and geese for Thanks giving and other Thanksgiving items. The City Meat Market and Erskine's will not have tur- keys and chickens in time for the holiday meal Thursday, but both have some coming on the Grommet Reefer.
 On the LST Erskine's received potatoes, sweet potatoes, csaN- berries, squash, and other iteme in time for the holiday.

Laughs Promised In Plays Tuesday

Almost all tickets are sold for the presentation of two 1-act plays next Tuesday evening at the Orpheum theatre, under the auspices of the Friars Club, school dramatic organization The curtain will be raised at 8:15, and a plan to reserve seats was abandoned, 80 early arrivals will get the choice seats
 One of the plays, Chicken in the Rough, is a satire on the landing of the Pilgrims. Comedy is developed from a sound effects man, who has a brainstorE and gets his signals mixed. An addi- tional comedy feature is supplied by Priscilla's big sister, Mae, who acts like her last name could be West.
 The second play, Make Room for Rodney" is a clever comedy, featuring the tribulations of a boy who feels himself very much abused because he doesn't have a room of his own to keep his many collections. One of his col lections is a snake, which plays an important part in the action as we'll as in the romantic as poets.

Man Shot In
 Neck Better

l Frencny du DOS, local Darten- der, is in the Griffin Memorial hospital. recovering from bull let wound in his neck, allegedly inflicted by .22 rife fired by his estranged wife, the former Lee Jones.
 Du Bos was shot late Monday evening in his home in the Jack Altman duplex on Shelikof high way.
 As reported by deputy U. s. Marshal Paul Herring, Mrs. du Bos, operator of 8 shooting gal- lery in Tony's Bar. went to her husbands home with the gun, and found him in bed. According to his statements he got up and an argument ensued, principally concerning a reconciliation. He told the marshal he took some shells from the fife and set the gun ln the kitchen, and forced his wife to leave, but that she returned and the argument con- tinued. According to the mar shals report du Bos said she was brandlshing the gun but that he was not concerned because he knew 1t wasn't loaded. He said the next thing he knew the bull let hit him and he hit the floor. The bullet just missed his jugu- lar vein and windpipe and lodged in his neck.
 Mrs. du Bos then returned to her apartment behind the Ship s Tavern, and then went next door to the apartment of Mrs. Ever cit Koch. After sitting there a few minutes she announced that she had just shot her husband.
 Marshal Herring, who was called by the city night patrol man, found her there few min uters later and took her into custody.
 Du Bos left his apartment and Jagged a taxi driven by Harold Pratt, and asked to be taken to the hospi al. On the way he had the taxi stop at the Idle Hour Bar, where he is employed, and where he told Max La Lande, his boss, that he would not be able to show up for work the next morning.
 He then continued to the hos pltal, where Dr. A Holmes John- son was called and the bullet was removed. Du Bos told Malshal Herring that he felt sure he took all the 1 bullets from the gun and that-hls wife must have slipped another one in, but she denied this, Mar shaI Herring said.
 On Wednesday Mrs du Bos was released as no charges had been filed. Marshal Herring sald du Bcs said he would not slgn a complaint and would not testify against bis wife
