Lightning Causes Three

Mountain in G q G e National
Park, Superintendent Emmert
reports. The fires were started by
lightning and were discovered
by the lookout on S c slplock
Mountain within the Park. All
three were confined to very small
areas. Enroute to b e e fires,
crews discovered thre others
that had started from the same
lightning storm but had burned
themselves out. Fire employees
of the Rocky Mountain Lumber
Co. cooperated in extinRuishing
these fires.
A patrol plane earring two
smokejumpers flew over Upper
Nyack and Upper Coal Cree
Valleys to check for additional
fires that might be burning in
areas not visible to the lookouts.
None were discovered.

The REAL CULPRIT

General o mar N. Bradley.
Veterans Administrator. warns
that abuses of on-the-job train
ing will become a national scan
dal unless closer supervision can
be provided.
Something is wrong. he says.
when in one State it takes three
years to learn simple job which
another State III i q K 8 can be
mastered in three months; when
some employers cut the pay of
trainees by the amount of the
Government allowance and thus
provide themselves with cheap
labor; when a veteran, paid 500
a month as an official of a large
firm, applies for G. l. Bill sub.
sistence. declaring he is in train
ing for his fathers job-that of
president. Reports to this news
paper supplement the Generals
warning.
By reason of their sheer mag
nitude, the tasks which grow out
of history's b i g ges t war-liks
those of the war itself-must be
tackled with power shevels, not
garden spades. There should be
regret but no surprise at a certain
amount of wastage. And these
tasks involve millions Of people
veterans employers, and admin
istrators.
1t is not cynicism to recognize
that sharpers and chiselers will
show up here in at least the same
percentage by which they cumber
the general population.
Tighter administration will get
at a good deal of the trouble-a
little spade work to catch what
the power shovels either miss OF
drop-and the revised law just
passed by Congress should help
General Bradley both to provide
the spade men and to dra W
stricter specifications. But even
this won't get all of the abuses.
The bald fact of the matter is
that the " b ole G. |. train
ing setup plays right into one of
the weakest spots in American
public morality: the much too
general acceptance of a thesis

To Fight Black Markets

The House Appropriations
Committee told Congress today
there will be long delays in lift

In approving a S3,523, 900 def
cheney appropriation bill, part of
which is for OPA action against
black market operators, this re-
vised summary and time table was
submitted by OPA Administrator
Bowles:
Rents-Instead Of dropping con-
trolls in so areas by the first Of this
year as planned earlier, OPA moved
out of only 80 small areas, mean
while adding II to its original list.
Food-Suspension of controls on
milk, cream, ice cream and manu-
featured dairy products not likely
until the spring Of ls47; few va
rieties of fish may be removed from
control by May, 1886. no suspension
of controls On processed fruits and
vegetables likely until after January
/, 1947: controls on major meat
items probably will be retained until
July, 1947.
Other Controls to Remain.
Controls on most of these items
were scheduled to have been lifted
around April /, 1916.
Consumer goods-No suspension
of textile or apparel items appears
probable for the spring of 1947.
Earlier OPA had told the committee
it hoped to give serious considera-
ton to removal of these controls
by April /, 1916.
Services-Removal of controls on
laundering, dry cleaning and similar
services, originally scheduled for
late spring of this year. now in
definitely postponed. Control of
restaurants expected to continue
'at least until autumn" instead of
being removed early this year.

Operators Meet Again.
Meanwhile, tugboat operators met
again today on a proposal to arbi-
trate the dispute. The operators
failed to reach a decision early to-
day on whether to submit the dis
pute to arbitration after an all
