ONE DIES IN BLAST
OF EXPLOSIVES IN
- AMMUNITION CARS

MARLBOROUGH, England, Jan.
2-P-At least one British soldier
was killed and ten others were
reported missing tonight when two
ammunition cars exploded on a
military railroad siding near here,
setting off a number of fires and
smaller blasts.
Four other soldiers were wound
ed, one critically.
The blast occurred in Savernake
Forest, Wiltshire, where an Ameri-
can soldier was killed in an am
munition dump explosion last July.
The War Office said several fires
were burning, seven hours after
the original explosion, within 20
yards of another ammunition train
of 80 to 40 cars which could not
be moved.
Because of the danger Of a great
err explosion, further firefighting
efforts were postponed until tomor-
row. Personnel was withdrawn from
the area, roads were closed and
railroad traffic diverted.

lord HAW HAW"
WILL HANG TODAY

LONDON, Jan. 2-W.D-William
Joyce, former Lord Haw Haw''
of the German radio and most in
tensely hated of all British traitors,
will hang for treason tomorrow at
9 a. M, in Wandsworth prison Of
southwest London.
Joyce appeared resigned to his
fate when informed that Home
Secretary James Clutter EIDE had
refused to grant him a reprieve.
An earlier appeal to the House OF
Lords was dismissed Dec. 10.
Preparations for the 39-year-old
Joyce's execution are being made
by Albert Pierrepont, Britain's Of
fetal executioner who sprung the
trap Dec. 10 on traitor John Amery
at the same prison.
Joyce has been visited by his
wife, but has had no other visitors
since last week. Official notice OF
the execution will be posted to-
night on the main gates of the
prison.
Joyce spent his execution eve
in a silent game of chess.
His opponent was the jailer Of
condemned row. The jailer said
that Joyce plays a good game, anc
apparently has no trouble with
concentration.

0PA TO RESTORE
CITRUS CEILINGS
Price Lid Will Go Back On
At 12:01 Friday,
Bowles States

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 W.D -
Ceiling prices for fresh citrus fruits
will be restored at 1901 am. Jan.
4, the Office of Price Admins
tration announced tonight.
Prices in many instances have
more than doubled since controls
were lifted on Nov. 10.
Restoration of ceilings, recon-
mended by OPA several weeks
ago, was finally approved by Econ
omic Sterilization Director John
c. Collet and given final okay
this afternoon by the Department
of Agriculture.
Collet declined to approve the
move two weeks ago, explaining
that higher prices resulted from
bad weather and transportation
shortages that kept the new crop
off the market. He promised, how
ever, to authorize renewed controls
if the excessive price rises are
not promptly curbed or eliminat-
ed"
OPA noted that prices continued
to increase, particularly for
oranges, despite Collects warning.
Price Administrator Chester
Bowles, who comedies that OPA
moved too fast in lifting citrus
ceilings, said tonight that the agen-
CIV hereafter will remove controls
only when it is clear that ''prices
are not going to advance sharp
ly."
If prices shoot up after controls
are lifted, he added, OPA will
promptly restore them.
"Only by doing so can we pro-
tect the people from unwarranted
price increases and keep their
confidence that the price line will
be held
Under tonight's order. retailers
will establish their first ceiling
price on the basis of met cost
for the largest deliveries received
during the seven days preceding
resumption of control. The "ne1
cost must not be greater thar
it would have been if purchases
had been subject to control anc
were bought at supplier's ceiling
price.
Retailers then will refigure theil
ceilings each Thursday. At all 9th
err sales levels, the seller imme
diately will return to his pre-ex
listing ceiling prices.
/ Fresh citrus generally was sell
ing below ceiling when control!

: crop also was expected.

price increases for preferred size
and qualities due to large demand
for such fruits. It believed, how
