The Government is about to ex-
tend the deadline for a price con-
troll changeover affecting 100000
retailers, it was learned today.
An Office of Price Sterilization
spokesman said the extension Or
der probably would be signed
today. The changeover covers
clothing. most department store
goods and home furnishings.
The regulation involved is called
CPR 7, issued February %. The
original deadline of March 20
10 days from now-is due to be
moved ahead two weeks or a
month, it was said.
CPR 7 replaces the straight
January 26 freeze" on prices of
many items with limit on the
margin between the retailers cost
and the price he charges. 1t is
expected to raise some prices and
lower others.
Protests from many stores over
the country that they cannot COM
plete necessary paper work in
time are behind the extension.
One of the first such protests came
from one of Washington's biggest
department stores.
Locally, only two of 1900 to
l,500 merchants affected had sub
mitted new pricing charts re-
quired by the regulation up to
this morning, the OPS Office here
reported.
The regulation requires each
RETAILER to file such charts. cover
ing thousands of individual items
of stock. and to receive an OPS
Acknowledgement.
Stores Work on Charts.
Stores here are working fever
Iishly on their charts. The bigger
ones have set up special depart
ments and hired new employees to
handle the task.
One reason for the deadline ex-
tension is that copies of the 28-
page regulation were late in
reaching many areas, especially
in the West, the OPS spokesman
IeXplained.
But even here merchants have
been having some difficulty inter-
lpreting the complicated order
despite the fact that a similar
regulation was in force during the
last two years of World War II.
Daily Clinics Held.
The Washington OPS office has
been holding daily clinics to ex-
plain the regulation to business
men. The clinics. from 10 am
to noon and 2 to 4 pm. daily ex-
cept Saturday. will continue this
week, a spokesman said.
One point of confusion has been

The grand jury record charged
IMr. ODwyer's office with laXity
and maladministration in the
handling of the case. Mr.. O'DWyer
himself claimed he was not re-
sponsible as he was on leave of
absence to the Army during most
of the investigation.
A Judge ordered the jury's
presentments eXpunged on the
ground they were illegal because
they disclosed actual testimony
before the grand jury.
Anastasia has a crime commit

fed. He was convicted once of
murder-a death sentence that
later was reversed.

Costello is due to testify after
walking out on the commit ee

him from testifying. But a COM
mittee doctor examined Costello
Saturday and said he was vel

cases, he said.
Larger stores are expected to
submit the new pricing charts
and start pricing under the new
system-on a department-by-de-
partment basis. rather than wait
to complete charts for the entire

New Blizzard Cripple,
Northern Midwest;
Families Marooned
BY the Associated Press


The Northern Middle West was
hanging on the ropes again today
virtually knocked out by another
smashing blizzard.
Throughout the area many
highways were blocked. planes
were grounded and even some
trains were stalled by mountainous
snow drifts.
Although the fury of the storm
was not as widespread as the two
earlier blizzards that already had
hit the region this month, it was
more intense in spots. In South
ern Minnesota, Southeastern South
Dakota and Northern Iowa high
way traffic was blocked in many
places. Trains were stalled in
Northern Iowa.
Nine Dead in Canada.
Canada's prairie provinces today
began digging themselves out of
one of the widest March blizzards
on record. The toll stood at nine
dead and one missing.
The storm lashed the prairies
for two days and dumped several
feet of snow on the ground. Traf-
fic was paralyzed and communi-
cation lines snarled.
Still missing is Antoine Dar-
veau, 70-year-old farmer near
Saskatoon. He disappeared on
Thursday. Search parties are be-
ing hampered by 12-foot drifts.
Late yesterday snow plows
bucked their way through 15-foot
drifts and reached .38 persons
aboard a Calgary-bound Canadian
National Railways train snow
bound since Friday near Oyen,
Alta, about 100 miles northeast
of Calgary. None of the passen-
gers suffered serious injurey, re-
ports here said.
10 More Inches of Snow.
The Midwestern storm left as
much as 19 inches of new snow in
the area. Winds up to As miles an
hour whipped it into deep drifts
which blocked highways that had
been cleared only a few days
earlier from the storm Of week
ago. Many points reported 2 feet
Iof old and new snow on the ground.
The storm began Saturday and
continued through most of yester-
day. 1t marooned scores of farm
families in Western Minnesota.
Civil Air Patrol pilots made more
than so flights yesterday from
Wheaton, Mimi, to carry provi-
sions to the isolated region. and
to take two sick farmers and a
baby to hospitals.
At st. Paul and Minneapolis,
where the snowfall measured
nearly 10 inches, airlines cancelled
most of their flights. Buslines had
resumed some operations from
there today, but secondary high
ways still were blocked.
Airliner Bogs Down.
A Northwest Airlines planes ar
irving from Portland, Greg, with
II passengers and creWmen bog
ged down in snoWdrift on Void
Chamberlain field at Minneapolis.
But all the persons escaped injury.
In Northern Iowa the storm
caused the tightest traffic tie-up
of the winter. About 40 or so
counties were completely blocked
yesterday by deep drifts which
stalled an Illinois Central Rail-
road freight train.
One of the worst billiards in
Western Canada's history cost six
lives in Alberta.
Snow plows forced their way
Through 15-foot drifts to rescue
I38 persons stranded for two days
on a Canadian National Railways
train near Oyen, Alberta, yester-
day. The train was bound for
Calgary, about 100 miles south
east. The passengers, who had
been living in the baggage car,
were taken to Oyen by school bus.

When a population begins to
shift because of new jobs or new
opportunities elsewhere, where to
live and how to live may become
a problem. Often, all too often,
you must take what you can get,
even if it is only one room and a
bath, with kitchen privileges at
breakfast time.
You may or may not have your
furniture. If you do. you have one
problem: How to make as much
as possible fit into the space with
out paying storage, or selling 1t at
q loss.
Today we are discussing one
solution to the problem. One side
of the room is set up as bedroom.
The other side Is arranged as q
sitting room. In between Is O
simple curtained divider. This
divider is made Of 1-inch metal
tubing anchored to the floor and
ceiling.
Muslin Curtains Hung.
Three-quarter muslin curtains
are hung from rod top and bottom.
The open area above the curtains
makes both sections seem larger
and allows better circulation OF
air. Yet, if one member Of the
family wants to sleep, the other
can read or work without disturb
ing the sleeper a great deal.
Shelves are built under the win
dows to take care of the books
and magazines that accumulate.
Chests and chairs are distributed
where they are most needed, or
where they fit the wall space.
The floor Is completely carpeted.

not be the difficulty there has been
in obtaining attractive rental
rooms or homes.
IF you don't have furniture, you
may decide to use day beds and
furnish each section Of the room
as a separate sitting room. This
practice is advised if you are
working in defense areas, as many
factories rotate night workers. A
large movable screen can be sub
stituted for the metal tubing, but
it is more costly.

Woman Tries 10 Kill Son
Jailed in Store HoIdup
By the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 30.-A
ldistraught mother who police say
tried to kill her son as she visited
him in jail sobbed this explana-
ton:
II reasoned that society, Kenny
and myself would be better off
if we both left this world. To
kill Kenny and myself seemed to
be the only solution. I had failed
lin my responsibility to correct his
life and manner of living"
The mother. Mrs. Helen L. Mad
den, 48-year-old widow. was
booked on suspicion of assault with
intent to murder. The son Ken
meth, 20, had been arrested in
connection with a liquor store
holdup.
Mrs. Madden admitted pulling
the trigger of her pistol twice
as she talked to her son late We'd
nesday. Police said it didn't go
off because the cartridge clip had
mot been snapped into place.
The son last night told his
mother: Il forgive you for what
you tried to do. I've caused you
nothing but trouble for so long"

arm Price Report
Expected 10 Aid Drive
For Tighter Controls
By the Associated Press

An Agriculture Department re-
port on farm prices was counted
upon today to- influence a drive
within the Government for tighter
controls on prices of agricultural
products.
The report was scheduled for
release this afternoon.
A sharp advance in farm prices
since the outbreak of the Korean
war and the fact many products
are not yet subject to price
ceilings has led top-ranking de-
fense mobilization and stabiliza-
ton officials to suggest stronger
controls.
Under the law, ceilings may not
be placed on farm products at
less than parity.
A farm price report issued a
month ago showed that only nine
major products were selling fol
parity or more. and thus were
subject to ceilings. They were
hogs, beef cattle. veal calves,
lambs, wool, cotton, cottonseed,
soybeans and rice.
Commodities bringing farmers
less than parity included wheat
corn. oats, barley, rye. peanuts
potatoes. butterfat. milk. dry
beans. grain sorghums, citrus
fruits, sweet potatoes, apples
chickens and eggs
Farm prices in mid-February
taken as a whole. set a new record
of 213 per cent above the 1910-14
average. They were 80 per cent
higher than a year ago. The bulk
Of the increase was limited to
meat animals.
Today's report will show what
farmers were receiving for major
products in mid-March and the
parity prices for the respective
items.
Should today's report show q
further substantial increase in
farm prices, more vigorous de-
mands for stricter controls could
be expected to follow.
At this season Of the year
prices of eggs, milk and butterfat
usually decline. rejecting a sea-
sonal upturn in production. On
the other hand. prices of grains
tend to advance a little. A little
later. meat animal prices usually
ease off some. rejecting declining
demand for meat.
