Important To Local
Presidents Of H. B. A.

From time to time we have stres-
sed the Importance Of presidents not
sending cash money in an ordinary
letter. It has been a long, long time
since a president has taken a chance
and sent his money in this form.
In the December Board, one of our
local presidents reported to the Of
flee that she sent $3.50 in cash mon
ey in special delivery letter to our
office, however, we have not as yet
receiced such letter from this par
ticular president.
whenever you send money, please
sent 1t so you can have it traced
should it not reach its destination.
There isn't anything for you to work
on when you send letter as above
mentioned.
Nobody has to sign for a special
delivery letter. Several years ago.
when a special delivery letter ar
rived at our office somebody had to
sign the postman's record for said
letter, but it isn't so now.
1t is reflection on the office for
any president to send cash money to
the office. We can tell you that we
did not receive it, but you can think
whatever you wish about the matter,
therefore, for our protection, as well
as yours, we are kindly asking that
you do not send cash money in an
ordinary letter, even though it is a
special delivery.
Oft-times we have letters to get
lost in transit, but if the remitter
has money order receipt or a pos
tai note receipt, we can have the
letters traced and get duplicates.
Don't take chances and don't get
in too big a hurry to send your mon
ey and send it in an ordinary letter.
M L. Larkin, Secretary.

discussed, auto trade sources spec
ulated that curtailment might
be in the making for the second
quarter of the year-beginning
April !.
The Presidents Council of Eco
nomic Advisers in its annual re-
view sent to Congress last week
said it might be necessary to cut
auto production this year by one
third to one-half.
Delaying Factors Cited.
A delaying factor is the time it
will take to place sufficient de-
fense orders to absorb auto work
ers. Another is the time required
to tool up for production of de-
fense items.
Auto manufacturers anticipate
a Government request before the
end of the year that there be no
change in models for 1852.
Price-control officials also were
concerned with specific problems
One was what to do about tires
sold to auto manufacturers and
installed on new passenger cars
Six rubber companies have an
nounced varying increases in
prices of those tires, and have
asked the ESA to approve those
increases.
So ESA officials will meet with
representatives of the six COM
panies today to try and arrive at
a decision.
Another special problem is that
of hides. which have risen so much
in price that shoe manufacturers
and tanners have asked ESA for
an immediate freeze of hide prices.
Officials bluntly raised the ques-
tion of a control order in a meet
ing with hide industry leaders
yesterday. No decision was an
nounced.
The NPA also is considering an
order to limit uses of nickel to
functional and essential purposes.
Nickel goes into the bright work u
on automobile bumpers. grills and
trim.
At their meeting with Air Force
officials, aircraft manufacturers
expected to obtain a clearer idea
than any given them previously
as to the numbers and types of
planes the Government wants.
New figures on requirements
would give the NPA a fresh basis
on which to consider how much
aluminium and other scarce ma
terials should be set aside for de-
fense production and how much
left for civilian needs.

Gogster Gets Laugh

Still on Drinks Job

BOSTON, Jan. 17.-A year ago

look who's in the act:
With an unhappy year OF in
vestigation behind them, police got
a hot tip yesterday that a char
acter - known to them y had
shown up at a Boston automobile
agency and plunked down 500 $40
bills for a new convertible. A fast
check showed he had done just
that.
Today that case (but not the
Drinks case) was solved. Under
police grilling the man admitted
he had done it "for a gag-just to
see if the cops were on the job"
So the suspect" walked out wear
ing the same grin he had a year
ago when the police Drinks drag
net fished him up-and disclosed
that at the precise moment OF the
robbery. he was chatting with a
policeman.

BALTIMORE, Jan. II. - The

January Is, at 4 am, as the time
for strike.
A six-hour conference of union
and company officials with Gov.

Federal Conciliator Lucien F..
Rye was to meet with company

He had previously described the
situation as hopeless.
The union Is seeking a 20 to IS

its 5000 members. The operators
presently receive $1.55 per hour.
The company has refused to

emily hope the order will have a
psychological effect in restraining
inf1ationary speculation outside
the stock market as well as in it.
The board had given no indi-
cation of feeling that excessive
credit has been a major factor in
pushing up the volume of stock
market trading or the level of
stock prices in recent months.
Exchange Agrees in Viewpoint.
That was the reaction. also, of
the New York Stock Exchange
Chairman Robert P. Boylan said
the exchange does not believe that
margin buying of stocks on regu-
lated markets has increased in
fationary pressures.
Others On Wall Street expressed
doubt that the order would have
much effect on the market, which
has been on the rise since last
June. Margin requirements short
ly after the end of World War
II were raised to 100 per cent,
meaning that trading at the time
was on an all7cash basis.
Food Prices Climb.
AS for food, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics said retail prices of SO
foods in eight large cities reached
Ia new high peak on January 2 OF
218.9 per cent of the 1935-193s
average. Price control officials
feared there might be a further
rise of 10 points in the next 60
days.
This has caused the Economic
Sterilization Agency of Alan VAL
entine to speed up the hiring of a
staff for administration of con-
trolls. ESA has added 100 persons
to its payroll in the last week and
now has about $50 full-time en-
ployes and consultants.
Price Freeze Seems Near.
ESA officials have indicated
that a price freeze would be i'm
posed within two to four weeks.
They believe that by that time
the staff will be of sufficient size
to handle a controls program. Be-
fore imposition of freeze, Off
cials hope to have worked out
actual price ceilings for food and
clothing items. which will pose
the toughest control problems.
The nine-member Wage Stabil-
ization Board already is working
on a formula for control of wages
and salaries to be imposed shortly
after the price action.

Court Rejects Plea
|By Pearson S Counsel
To Dismiss Libel Suit

District Judge Alexander Holt
zoff today refused to dismiss the
libel suit filed against Drew Pear

columnist in a 1948 radio broad
cast in which he charged Mr.

Newsprint Controls
Would Cut Supply,
Paper Official Says
BY the Associoted Press

BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 1.-THE
president of the Newsprint Asso-
citation of Canada said today
Government controls over news
print at this time actually would
reduce supplies available to
United States publishers.
R. M. Fowler. of Montreal,
Quebec, told the New York State
Publishers Association that Cana
dian producers will be able to
supply 4,775,o00 tons of news
print to the United States in 1851.
$1,000 tons more than in 1850.
He added that about 10000 tons
less will be available from Europe
and about $4,000 tons more from
domestic mills.
Difference Less Than 2%.
I'm other words" he said. "you
should get $4,000 tons in 1851,
and if you had unlimited supply
you would use 6,O50,000 tons; you
will be short 10000 tons which is
% per cent of your estimated de-
mand.
Under today's conditions, in a
semi-war economy, with major
shortages appearing in many other
commodities, is shortage OF z
per cent something for you to
worry greatly about?
He said that any limitation
order in the United States would
only work if there were matching
controls in Canada. This. he said,
probably would result in inter-
national ALLEGATIONS which would
increase supplies to be made avail
able to meet shortages il other
countries that are allies and
friends of the United States and
Canada, thereby reducing the
amount available to United States
publishers.
Price Control Opposed.
The same loss of supply must
result from any form of price
control, said Mr.. Fowler. He ex-
pressed doubt there could be price
control without rationing, and
added:
IF you sought to impose fixed
ceiling price, many of the re-
activated marginal mills today
selling at higher than the mar
ket would go out of production
and substantial quantities of i'm
ported newsprint from Europe
would move to other markets"

today that the number Of Rus
sian-made floating mines washing

The mines apparently were car

The Communists laid down q
heavy mine screen in that area
at the time United Nations naval
forces were making landings in
the WonSan area.
