90 Witnesses Request
Chance 10 Testify
On Food DecontroI

The Price Control Board has re-
ceived around 80 requests from the
big farm organizations and individ-
ual consumers to be heard at hear
ings opening Monday on whether
grain. livestock, milk and dairy
products, cottonseed and soy beans
should be returned to ceilings after
August 20
A spokesman for the board said
today that the largest group Of ap-
plicants seek to be heard on the oues-
tion OF reeontrolling milk and its
products. There are twice as many
requests in this group than in any
other commodity.
Application Deadline.
Last midnight was the deadIine
for applications to be heard at the
four-day hearings.
The board takes up the problem
of grain on Monday, livestock on
Tuesday, cottonseed and soybeans
on Wednesday and dairy products
on Thursday.
There is some doubt whether all
of the 90-odd witnesses can be heard
within the time allowed by the
board, but in any event, all inter-
ested parties will be asked to file
briefs with the board,
Unless the three-man board makes
decisions by August 20 on these
items, they automatically return to
price controls the following day.
New Ceilings Allowed.
OPA, meanwhile, authorized
higher prices for hot water bottles,
lighting fixtures, certain business
furniture, food containers and car
bon products.
The agency also set forth pro-
visions for granting price increases
in hardship cases to producers of
such cotton items as lace curtains
and tablecloths, luncheon sets and
furniture scarves. mats and doilies.
The increases when granted will be
passed on to the consumer, OPA
said.
Prices on lighting fixtures and
hot-Water bottles are increased 10
per cent. Wooden commercial chairs
go up per cent and wooden COM
mercial desks and tables, II per
cent. Carbon products also are in
creased II per cent.
An OPA source predicted higher
ceilings on canned fruits and said
the agency hoped to announce a
formula next week for calculating
prices of the 1916 pack of canned
fruits.

Terminal Leave
Continued From First Page.

negotiable, 21a per cent, flve-year
bonds issued in units of $25, with
cash for lesser amounts.
Although the average veteran will
draw about $3.50. payments will
range from a few dollars to more
than $500, according to advance esti-
mates. A master sergeant, for in
stance, who served nearly three
years without getting a furlough
and had dependents at the time of
his discharge would draw the high
figure. /
The following procedure for col
lection of terminal leave pay was
outlined by the Treasury, War and
Navy Departments in a joint an
nouncement:
As soon as the claim forms are
printed they will be available at
post Offices. With the forms will
come an instruction sheet, on the
back of which the addresses of f.
nance officers will be listed. These
will vary depending upon the
branch in which the man served
and where he lives.
If the man needs help in filling
out this form-"Claim for Settle
ment, Unused Leave" he can
go to the veterans service center
In his community. Arrangements
to inform the veterans counselors
about the details of the process are
being made by Retraining and Re-
habilitation Administrator Graves
B. Erskine.
Requires Notarizing.
On the form the veteran will de-
scribe his service and how much
leave he is entitled to, at the rate
Of 2l2 days month. He will then
have it notarized and send it in
to the proper finance officer listed
on the back of the instruction sheet.
With 1T he will send his discharge
papers-either the original, a GER
tilted copy or photostat.
After the papers are sent-no one
Is sure how long-the finance Off
Ger will mail back the discharge
papers. And sometime after that
again no one is willing to predict
how long-the veteran will receive
his bonds in multiples of s25 and q
Treasury check for the remainder.
II the veteran is entitled to less
than $50, he will get it in a Treas
ury check If he is entitled to $50,
for instance. he will get two s25
bonds and $40 in a check.
The bonds-a special Treasury is
sue-will be dated back to the time
of discharge and will be payable
five years later on the first day OF
Evening star., 1946-08-09

the quarter following the date of
discharge In other words, if a man
was discharged on January 10, 1943,
his bonds will mature on April l.,
1948.
There are some exceptions from
the bond-cash arrangement. II the
veteran was discharged before jan
uary /. l943. he will be paid entirely
in cash.
If the veteran is dead, his wife.
his children or, finally, his parents
can apply for the payment and
Will get the whole sum by check.
More distant relatives will not get
the payment
II the veteran is adjudged in
sane or legally incompetent. his
guardian can file the claim and pay
ment will be in cash.
If the officer or enlisted man gets
out before September /, the former
system applies-that is, the officer
gets monthly checks in cash for up
to 120 days and the enlisted man
files his claim.
Time Is Accrued Leave.
Terminal leave, as such, goes out
with this bill. After September /.
neither officers nor enlisted men
will be allowed to accrue more than
so days in unused leave or furlough
time. After September /, the so
days-or whatever portion of them
the officer or enlisted man has ac-
cumulated-will be considered an
nual leave and paid off as Govern
ment workers are paid.
However. the law does not deprive
men of the unused leave they ac-
cumulated before the new bill went
into effect.
Men who remain on active duty
after September / and have more
than so days to their credit for the
period before September l can file
claim for the difference between
so days and up to 100 days. The
armed forces will distribute the
forms to men remaining in the
service.
II the man still on active duty
has so days unused leave coming to
him on September /, he will have
to take some of the leave before any
more may accrue In other words,
so days is the limit on which pay
ment can be made, no matter how
long the man remains in service
after September /.
Same for All Services.
Il the officer was previously an
enlisted man and did not draw his
full 100 days in terminal leave when
he was discharged as an officer, he
can file for terminal leave owed to
him as an enlisted man
For veterans. payment is based on
the pay rate last in effect at the
time of his discharge For men still
on active duty, payment is based on
the latest enlisted grade or rating
held. Payments will include an ad-
ditional 10 cents day for subsist-
ence and. for master. technical and
staff sergeants with dependents,
SIPS day additional, for quarters.
The same procedure will be used
for all services. Spokesman for the
various services said that in most
cases they will have to take the
word of the veterans that they did
not use up the time they are now
claiming while they were in the
service However, there's a penalty
for perjury on the notarized form.
The bonds can be used before the
five-year period is up only for Ma
tional Service or Government Life
Insurance. Bonds can be used for
payment of premiums. repayment of
loans on insurance and conversion
of insurance.

the converted minelayer, District
Attorney Fred NJ Howser attempted
to stop C6rnero at the source by or
dering the arrest of pilots of the
water taxi fleet, plying between Long

Cornero and four of his associates
earlier had surrendered to the
sheriff on charges of conspiracy to
conduct gambling games, keeping

prevailing on persons to visit a

Cornero appeals the States inter-
terence, Is still in doubt.
Mr. Stratton said he expected
Cornero's counsel to obtain a writ
preventing California authorities
from interfering with water taxi
operations. pending a court de-
cision. The prosecutor contends
the Bunker Hill is in Los Angeles
County waters. in that a line drawn
from the two outermost tips of
land to the north and south would
pass on the other side of Catalina
Island. 1t was on this contention
that Cornero's operations were

thought it "a very good thing" to

Judge Fennell suggested that in
stead of thinking of the results of
passing a stop light, drivers should
constantly bear in mind the mean
ing of statistics published in the
newspapers regarding traffic deaths
and injuries and not dismiss the
subject by saying, "Oh, well, I'm not
involved. 1t doesn't concern me"
The meaning of Judge Fennell's s
remarks received full substance fol-
lowing the revelation by the Police

wasn't the best and he was ordered
by his physicians to retire from
