CHICAGO, Nov. -28—(U, PP). — The regional Office of Price Administration revealed today that an investigation -of |

Indiana and” Michigan will begin

soon: to. determine if“ price ceilings}

are necessary tosprotect the con= sumet. #° Er) Henry L. “McIntyre, regional OPA attorney, said the. investigation of dairy prices would be similar to inquiries already made into 42 other productg’ whose prices have been boomed by the defense economy. “The investigation of the dairy industry will center in this region,” Mr. McIntyre said, “because of the concentration of the industry in this area, - especially - in Wisconsin. The results of our study will be compared with studies of the dairy industry in other parts of the nation and if some action such as the setting of price ceiling is deemed necessary, a ceiling will be fixed.” Mr. McIntyre said lower prices

might well result from the investigation, but that any lowering of present prices ‘undoubtedly would depend upon the current price-fix-ing bill in congress which adjusts farm prices to the 1919-29 levels.

It's Japan's Move ‘By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS 3% Times Foreign Editor 2 * WASHINGTON, Nov. 28—Following breakdown of the Nomura-Rurusu-Hull parley, Chinese sources believe Japan’s next move will be not war .with the United States but an invasion of Yunan province with a view to cutting the Burma rod\d. .

these reports state, Japan is mot now Great Britain and Neherlands India.

Despite her saber-rattling, prepared to defy the United States,

She already lacks materigls for more than six months of war with these powers, and the first act of such a conflict would be to cut her off from places of replenishment. She must wait, therefore, to see what happens_in Europe and the Atlantic before definitely making up her mind, insofar, at’ least, as the United States is concerned. ‘ Japan is known also to be planning a drive on Thailand. Reports of the most reliable nature indicate the possibility of an invasion in the immediate’ future. Chinese intelligence pfficers say there -are upward of 100,000. Japanese troops already in Indo-China ready to march, and that others are en route, via Saigon.

- Weigh Two Factors

Senators indicated that two factors would weigh most heavily in action on the legislation—the need for economy in view of constantly mounting national-defense costs, and the fact that the proposed payments to dependent widows, children and parents would set up a World War pension system based solely on military service and unrelated to any disability due to service. . The American Legion and the veterans of foreign wars urged passage of the bills, but Gen. Frank T. Hines, director of the U. S. Veterans Administration, opposed their sweeping character. Another exsoldiers’ group, the American Veterans Association, was against the legislation. : Gen, Hines foresaw possible public resentment at authorization of such vast expenditures at-a time when the national emergency is making heavy demands on the country. The American Legion took the opposite tack. Questions Advisability

» Mr, Hines warned that Congress should not forget that “we are taking on the rolls many widews and children who were not the wives or children of the men at the time they served.” “I am wondering,” he said, ‘| “whether it really .is in the interest of the veterans’ cause to have a bill include a new principle—and a costly one—that already has brought some criticism.” : _ Francis M. Sullivan, acting director of the. American I.egion’s National Legislative Committee, testi-

ted a favorable statement by Lynn U. Stambaugh, National Commander of the Legion. “At a time when the young men of this country are again being summoned into the arrned services in a program of total defense, it is not inappropriate to suggest that

of the fact that the United States keeps faith its defenders,” Mr. Stambaugh said in the statement.
