]. RUSSELL WOOD

j. Russell Wood, mayor d
Wrightsville Beach, announced
yesterday that he had submitted
his resignation to the Board of Al.
dermen of the beach town, and
would leave about October ! fol
Ell Paso, Texas.
His resignation, Wood said, has
not been acted upon by the board
which holds only one regular meet

melting probably will be held early
in September, at which time it is
expected that his resignation will
be accepted.

Reports in Wilmington that Mrs.

ed to succeed Wood, were denied
last night by Mrs. Synder, who
said she definitely is not a eandr
date for the m~ayora1ty.
Mrs. Synder said, however, that
she thought the new mayor would
be selected from one of the re-
naming three members OF the
board, who are DR.. Sidney Allen,
Relmon Robinson and Fred Ora

To Take Rest
Wood, who is associated with
the Lyman supply company, said
he did not plan to enter business

DECONTR0L BOARD
WILL MEET TODAY
Grain Prices First On
Agenda With Meat
Following Tuesday

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. -P-
Administrator Paul Porter Sunday
promised business and industry
full help from OPA in loosening
the governments wartime grip on
prices through the newly-created
Decontrol board.
The board, product of a COM
promise between administration
demands for continued strong
powers over prices to battle in
flation and Congressional effort to
drop most controls at once, takes
up its first tasks Monday.
Denies Red Tape
Porter vigorously denied" that
OPA will require Industry to jump
through hoops of red tape" in order
to win price increases held to be
necessary for production.
If anybody has to jump through
hoops it is because Congress wrote
the law that way. Porter indicated
in a lengthy written explanation OF
how OPA expects to administer its
revived powers.
To Follow Law
eff production is slowed up. it
will certainly not be the fault OF
the OPA," Porter declared. 1--WE
will grant all price increases called
for by the law. We will withhold
those which cannot be clearly 5usti-
fled under the standards set up
according to law"
The first job of the three-mem-
Der Decontrol board, which has
final say-so over removal or ap-
plication of price ceilings, is a
decision on automatic restoration
of price ceilings On a long list OF
food and feed products. These in
clude meats, milk, butter, grains,
cottonseed and soybeans.
Up To Board
Even after Congress agreed to
revival of price controls, it in
sisted that these major commodi-
ties be freed from ceilings until
August 81, with the new board to
decide before then whether they
should remain free.
Most of the food and feed pro
ducts included in the group have
advanced sharply ove the price
ceilings that existed June 80, wher
OPA expired.
In Public Interest
AS a yardstick for the new board.

DISSOLVED DOUBTS

DISSOLVED DOUBTS Most
people start their lives by being
regular babies. Some, like Topsy,
'jes' grow" And some, like Peter
Pan, never grow at all.
But it nevertheless is an indispu-
table biological fact that all people
are babies at one time or another
during their lives, whether they
will it so or not. And it is an in
disputable parental fact that most
mammas and daddies take their
babies to the photographer, whetl-
err the babies will it SO or not.
Indisputable evidence Of these
two indisputable facts is herewith
recorded on Page Eight of today's
paper. If anyone hereabouts has
ever harbored any doubts that any
Wilmingtonians ever were babies
and that their parents wanted
Photographic proof of the matter,

doubts right now, once and for all.

Former Progressive Seeks

WASHINGTON, Aug. II -UH-
Sen. Robert M. LaFollette, a
prominent figure among western
progressives for a quarter of a
century, stakes his political career
Tuesday on the whims of Wiscon-
sin Republicans in the country's
top primary election contest.
LaFolette, son of the late Sen.
Robert M. (Fighting Bob) LaFol-
lette, is seeking denomination as
a Republican, having abandoned
the progressive party label with
which he had been identified since
he entered the Senate in 1925.
Tough Race
The veteran Senator's chief OPP
ponent is an aggressive, popular
ex-Marine, Circuit Judge Joseph
M. Mccarthy, who was endorsed
by the State Republican conven-
ton by 1928 votes against n vote
for LaFollette. Word from Wiscon-
sin is that the race may be the
closest of the year. A heavy vote
may favor LaFollette, but if the
vote is light, Mccarthy may win.
Elsewhere, votes will be cast in
primaries Tuesday in South Caro-
lima and Vermont. Delaware winds
up the weeks political activity
with a Republican convention
Dednesday and a Democratic pri-
mary Saturday.

BYRNES TO FACE
ALBANIA DEBATE
Question OF Invitation To
Four Other Nations
Comes Up Today

PARIS, Aug. 11.-P)-U. S. Sec
rotary of State Byrnes will face
prolonged debate on whether Al
bania. Egypt, Mexico, Cuba and
Iran should pe invited to the peace
conference wher he takes over the
Craftsmanship of the historic de-
alterations Monday.
There were indications that the
troublesome issue might be settled
through the medium of a compro-
mise amendment. However, a long
wordy argument was expected on
the issue before the conference
moves on to the business for which
it was called-consideration of the
draft treaties for Italy, Finland,
Hungary, homania and Bulgaria.
Tatarescu Arrives
Italy already has presented her
case. The four other nations which
fought beside Germany were ex-
pected to present theirs this week.
Romania's delegation arrived Sum-
day, and Foreign Minister Georges
Tatarescu, head of the delegation,
conferred Immediately with his
ministers to London, Paris and
Prague. His address to the con-
ference, however, had not been
scheduled Sunday night.
The stage was set for the debate
on invitations when Soviet Union
ardenly supported a Yugoslav de-
mand that Albania be seated in a
consultative capacity, and the
United States replied by insisting
that if such a bid were issued, in
~vitat:ons should 60 also to Egypt,
Mexico, and Cuba.
Raises Storm
The attempt tc seat Albania rails

Greek delegation, which insisted
Albania hao aided Italy in the
attack on Greece and thus was not
qualified to sit with the Allied ma
tons considering the peace.
