therefore, US aCClOn III aDO1lSH- ing controls on grain and dairy products should not be considered surprising, regardless of the fact that this decision will force the American people to pay more for some of the basic necessities of life for months to come.
 True, the board did restore price controls on meat and certain scarce vegetable oils. But consumers will find very little comfort in these rulings, for the new ceilings which will be imposed by the OPA are bound to be higher than those that prevailed when price control lapSed on June 30.
 It is about time we all faced the fact that we cannot look to the Government for help or relief from inflated prices. The OPA today is only a ghost of its former self. It is completely powerless to reduce prices. Under the law passed by Congress, all we can hope for from OPA is to prevent prices from running away entirely.
 So far as the nations workers are concerned, the price squeeze is aggravated by the Governments rigid freeze of wages. Recent de- cisions of the National Wage Stab ilization Board and ReconverSiOn Director John Steelman have barred wage adjustments even in highly deserving cases. The Gov ernment has served notice that it

intends to adhere strictly to the wage pattern laid down last Spring and will not budgc from it.
 Under the circumstances, the American Federation of Labor has become completely disillusioned with bureaucratic control of prices and wages. We look forward anxi- ously to the day when such con- trols can be wiped out entirely. That day will come only when pro- duction is increased enough to meet demand For that reason, the 100000 members of the Amer ican Federation of Labor are now bending all their efforts to boost production in every direction.

yersity Of Minnesota, and Carleton
College in Mortified, MINI. The
Williams outfit has also entertained
at a number of private affairs.
AT Carleton College, after the
band played one engagement, it
was given another contract which

Irving Williams, the leader, was a
pre-medical major at Tennessee
State College; Howard Williams,
base player, majored in science at
Louisville Municipal College; Eddy

Lewis and pete" Wilson, sax and
trombone players, majored in

and Woodson Bush, sax player, are
former members of name bands
which have played at some Of the
finest hotels in the country.
The latest addition to the band is
Percy Hughes, Jr., sax man, whose
talent and personality make him a
valuable asset to the outfit. Percy,
a Minneapolis boy not long out Of
the Army, has made a growing
reputation for himself since his
return.

When she regrets that she became my wife,
And keep her dear eyes just a trihe blind
To my defects, and to my failings kind!

That we are only grown-up boys, we men,
So, loving all our children, she will see,

Williams himself is a little guy,
but packs a terrific wallop as a

Arrangements for the band are

and compose music for many of
the white bands in the Twin Cities
and also do work from time to
time for New York bands.
The boys say their biggest thrill
