attorney general, also concerned with the above problems. Perhaps I have been prejudiced in your favor by the talk we had before you ran for attorney general in which, you sought my advice and help.
 Federal Oil Profits
 I suppose I could answer your letter in part by recalling your criticism to me of your opponent in the attorney generals race, MT. Pat Neif, whose law firm, you said, represented certain oil com- panies. You seemed to think, at that time, that a man who had represented or1associated with big oilmen was to be viewed with sus- picion and alarm. Now, apparent ly, you do not.
 Or I might answer your letter by calling attention to the eX- tremely high rate of return which the federal government recently received from its mineral rights under Barksdale Field, La You argued in your letter to me that the federal government leased oil lands too cheaply, and that Texas netted S7,000,0O0 from it's tidelands oil whereas the federal govern ment would have 'leased the same submerged oil lands for only $l75,- GOO.
 I should like to point out, however that the federal govern ment is Hot obligated to lease tidelands oil under the old min eral leasing act for 50 cents an acre, as witness the secretary of the Interior, MT, Oscar Chapman, who leased Barksdale Field fer nearly $6,000,000 or about $3000 an acre instead of 50 cents. When you consider that Barksdale Field consists of only 2,O82 acres on which there was a return of $6,- 0G0,000, while Texas leased the huge area of 350,000 acres for $7,C00 GOO, it looks to me as if the federal hoys were pretty good horse-traders.
 Unity Against Communism
 The main point I would really like to make in answering your letter, however, is an appeal to you that in the extremely danger GUS battle we are now waging against Communism there are times when We have got to put the nation as a whole ahead of the interests of the 48 separate states.
 Perhaps the biggest problem the founding fathers faced when they set up our Republic was fair division of power between the federal government and the indi- vidual states. They also faced the problem of clashing interest be- tween city and farm, north and south, the seacoast and the west, and in order to arbitrate those differences between the individ- ual states and Washington they set up the Supreme Court.
 This system has worked far better than the founding fathers ever dreamed And if you don't think it has worked well, travel through Europe. with it's narrow boundaries, conflicting interests and constant wars, and then re- member that we would be in the same chopped-up. feuding predi- cament if we hadn't had strong federal government and highly

We speak of a nation that owns

Not long ago I asked the women
of America What do you call frieze
-freez or free-ZAY"?
The replies which have come from
all over the country indicate that
free-zAY is the preferred standard
American pronunciation for the
upholstery material, but that the
ornamental sculptured band used in
many public buildings is commonly
called freez.
From Mrs. w. Van B., Santa
Monica: II say free-zAY. My hus-
band says freez. And we are both
talking about frieze. The decorators
know, both men and women, all
say free-ZAY."
Mrs. K. B., Waupon, Wis: "In this
vicinity the word is pronounced
free-zAY when used in reference to
upholstery material, and freez when
used to mean border or wall
decoration. OF course, there is no
sense to such distinction, but such
is the case as I find it here"

There was nothing to the play
the defenders could win only one
spade, one heart and one club, and
so. the doubled contract was full
filed. East and West, the afore-
said experts, were naturally rather
displeased, particularly since they
could have made four spades
against any defense and almost
certainly would have made five-odd,
since North scarcely would have
selected a diamond opening.
West, getting in the first blow,
said that since he himself had not
doubled four hearts (although he
held a very fine hand) and had
elected, instead, to make a forcing
pass, East had been way off base
in deciding to double. East's hold
ing, West insisted, had clearly
called for bid of four spades over
the four hearts.
East replied that he was quite
aware of the implications of a
normal forcing pass, but he strongly
criticized Vests passing of the
buck" in this particular case. East
pointed out that his own jump
raise, directly over North's double,
had described his hand almost to a
T; West should have known from
this action that East was afraid of
the opponents and wcs certainly not
looking for a chance to double
them. When West passed over
South's four hearts, East read this
pass as the inability to go on, and,
since both opponents has passed
originally, East felt that it should
be easier to keep them from max
ing 10 tricks than to fulfill a 10
trick contract at spades.
The fairest judgment of this dis
pute seems to be that East took the
leSs-discreet action, but that West
made the first miSstep by choosing
the forcing pass.

OPS n EW S
OPS ANNOUNCES
NEW CEILINGS ON
BEEF AT retail.

A revised pricing program for
the retail sale of beef establishing
new dollars-and-cents ceilings, per-
hitting the sale of wider variety
of retail cuts and containing more
effective safeguards to protect con-
sumers in buying beef has been
announced by the Office Of Price
Sterilization.
The new retail beef regulation
requires the labelling Of each tray
Of meat with the grade and selling
price. The regulation also pro-
vides for five grades of beef
prime, choice, good, commercial
and utility.
Ceiling price changes allow IN
creases on some cuts but require
decreases on other cuts of beef. The
overall increase in ceiling prices to
the consumer will average about
~ to 2 cents a pound.
RETAIL COAL
Retail coal dealers have been
authorized by the Office Of Price
Sterilization to pass on to custo-
mers the full freight rate increase
for coal, amounting to a maximum
of 20 cents per ton, recently APP
proved by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The new Amendment
to the General Ceiling Price Regu-
lation merely permits retail cell
ing price increases based eitirely
on actual advances in freight
charges and does not increase re-
tail dealers margins.
CATTLE CEILING PRICES
OPS announces that the excep-
ton with live cattle ceiling prices
for some slaughterers has been
extended to November 4, 1851.
This exemption applies to those
slaughterers that are unable to
obtain at ceiling prices at least SO
percent of their normal share of
cattle coming to market during the
accounting periods. Slaughterers
comply with OPS live cattle cell
ings by paying no more than the
permitted maximum amount for
all cattle slaughtered during the 80
day accounting period. If claugh-
terers are able to obtain between
so and Is percent of their 1850
slaughter, they cannot exceed the
permitted maximum amount by
more than l percent during the ac-
counting period. If they obtain
70 percent or more, they are re-
quired to be in compliance with
the live cattle ceiling price regula-
ton.
