WASHINGTON, Sept. 21° w. P.). The office of price administration

‘foday rushed preparation of a ‘new ) regulation expected .to relieve

lowing shortages among retail and e outlets of many important pod froduts. . The regulation, which OPA hopes to issue “early in October,” will allow increased retail and wholesale prices to eliminate “squeezes” be-| tween these prices and the prices butors must pay to producers.

\ OPA officials admitted that the ‘effect would be “slightly” inflation ary. - They explained its ‘necessity as follows: - Under the general price ceiling, prices were established at the highest March level, but there had been increases in producers’ prices dur-| ing that month with no correspond- : ing increase in: distributors .prices.|. As a result, distributors, under the price ceiling, must pay higher-than- ~ normal prices to producers while _. they must. sell the products at normal prices, cancelling out profit] Workers. margins entirely in many instances. * 8 8 + Distributors therefore have refused to carry products affected by the “squeeze” and.housewives are be-

ginning to find shortages.

Using the wartime theme, “Don’t Be a Bottleneck—Ride More from Ten to Four,” the entry of Indianapolis Railways was recently declared first prize winner in a nation-wide window display contest sponsored by the Bus Transportation Magazine of New York City. The prize-winning display was on exhibit in the Circle bus station of Indianapolis Railways during August, and was designed to encourage patrons, in so far as possible, to make their transit trips during the guiet hours so war workers can be accommodated during the rush-Lour periods.

In commenting on the Indianapolis Railways entry, the Bus Transportation Magazine stated, “Ingenious use of an armful of salvaged bottles of the milk, pop and catchup variety in the telling display shown above,” resulted in the judges unanimously awarding first prize to Indianapolis Railways, “the first time the award has gone to a purely’ local ‘comb pany.” In making the award tite judges cited not only the “clever use of simple and inexpensive. props,” but the timeliness of the theme., “In our opinion,” said the committee, “no display in these times should overlook the war motif. The theme of this display is exceptionally fine, especially in view of the present national interest in transportation problems.” © “Likewise,” the committee said, “this display fulfills the conditions of the contest exceptionally well. It has originality. It tells ‘a definite story. The cost is not ‘disproportionate to the objective and the lack of ostentatious treatment is especially good. We rate

this window an excellent piece of showmanship.” Second place in the ‘contest, in which transit companies through the U. S. and Canada participated, was ewarded to the Toronto Transportation Commission, Toronto, Canada, and third place went to the Atlantic Greyhound lines. This window display is part of a series of advertising and publicity media being utilized by Indianapolis Railways to secure more off-peak riding in the Hoosier capital. The transit firm points out that housewives, shoppers and casual riders can make a material contribution to the war effort by confining their trips to nonrush hours. This co-operation will enable the transit firms to provide better service to the war workers who use: the system during the Be peaks. opi

ALLIED EXPERIENCES COULD BENEFIT U. S,

By Science Service ‘WASHING TON—Another way of speeding our mobilization is by learning shortcuts from the éexperience of our allies. Our colleagues in Britain and the, Soviet Union are beginning close collaboration. We are now in good contact with British scientists but we have not yet ‘begun to achieve co-operation with those of the Soviets. This is a step which is urgently needed, for tthe scientists of tHe Soviet Union have had more pracitcal experience with the needs which develop in actual warfare than all the rest of us together. Our government should

{therefore hasten to take the neec-

essary measures. Indeed, wé now have an opportunity to cement’ the friendly relations among the scientists of all the united nations. : The initiative of our government could put these relations on a permanent basis by establishing attaches ‘in our embassies whose functions would be to report scientific and ‘cultural affairs in a manner similar to the work -of the military and commercial representatives.

"STIFFER T BILL EXPECTED

Wall Street Gloomy About Final Prospects for Measure.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21 (U. P.)— Wall Street opinion on taxes has veered to the relief that the final draft of the revenue measure may be worse than the trading element had hoped for. At a result there is a feeling the market may hesitate for a period while the measure is acted on by the house and senate. The general tendency in the street just now is to quite guessing and wait for the actual bill. This, many believe, will not come until after election. While the stock market is dull, industry continues to make progress. The Moody industrial activity index has risen to a record high. Other records include payrolls, employ= ment, retail trade in some sections, car loadings on a tonnage basis, steel production on a tonnage basis, and construction. And of course, there are records in national spending, national debt, money in circulation, and national income. The last is estimated at $120,000,000,000 for 1942. Taxes will break all records this year and next year, cutting down profits and dividends, and making stock yields unattractive, Labor shortages and developing in many lines because of the inroads of the draft and enlistments, The government is taking steps to hold labor on the war jobs and in some instances its bureaus have lengthened hours of labor.

NEW BEARING METAL GONSERVES ON TIN

WASHINGTON—A very considerable saving of tin has been effected by substituting for the standard babbitt metal used for bearings, which contain 83% per cent of tin, a lead-base babbitt of the following composition: 821; pec cent lead, 15 per cent antimony, 1 per cent arsemic, 0.5 per cent copper, and only 1 per cent of tin. The new bearing metal is the result . of innumerable tests and trials, and has been found satisfactory except for very heavy bearings. By making this substitution in electric motors one company is saving 200,000 pounds of tin a year.

NEW PAPER SAVES FRAGILE. OBJECTS

By Science Service ‘WASHINGTON -— Transportation of glassware and other fragile objects can be made safe by an igenious new wrapping material. It is made by cutting a system of slits in stiff wrapping paper and then stretching it out into an open network. This causes the paper between slits to stand on edge, and is exactly the process by which expanded metal lath for plastering is made. One advantage over old. news-

DNB dispatches broadcast by Berlin said that German political observers were watching closely an “upsurge of communism” in Sweéden shown in nation-wide elections yesterday. Communists gained 16 new seats on county councils for a total of 42 throughout Sweden. Swedish Nazis failed to win a single seat ofi any council. Communists won nine of 100 seats on the: Stockholm council. The biggest gains were scored by the Peasant party, which won 36 seats. The gains were scored at the expense of the dominant Social Democrat party, which retained 830 of the 1520 seats.

Von Kleist’s Division Wiped Out, Russ Say

MOSCOW, Sept. 21 (U. P.).—The tank forces of Field Marshal Ewald Von Kleist, “butcher of Belgrade,” reported killed in the Caucasus, suffered such disaster in the eastern Caucasus that his officers shot their men in the back and then committed suicide, the Communist party organ Pravda reported from the front. + Semi-official dispatches did not disclose details of the death of Von Kleist himself, officially announced Saturday, but Pravda said his first tank army had been disastrously defeated in the Mozdok area, near the Grozny oil fields.

Report Second General Dead

The third tank division on Von Kleist's first tank army was annihilated on the south bank of the Terek river, Pravda said, and it was during this battle ‘the German officers killed themselves and. their men. It also reported that Maj. Gen. Mock, commander of a tank division recently arrived from Paris, | V was Kkilled,, and replaced by Maj. Gen. Gruenberg. After the third tank division was wiped out, two more tank divisions from other sectors were - hastily thrown into battle, Pravda said. The- Russians destroyed 65 of 90 tanks of one division in two days. Von Kleist, an old-line Prussian officer; was a member of the general staff in ‘the last war. His tank army was in the forefront in most of Adolf Hitler's campaigns.

He had had a predominant role Ayres

in the invasion of Russia. His|c forces captured Rostov last November, but were driven out within a week. (The German high command denied that Von Kleist had been killed.)

He wants combat service to avenge the loss of his brother, Joseph, reported “missing in action.” The youths enlisted within a week of each other, just after the attack on Pearl Harbor. ' Joseph chose the navy, Thomas the marines. Both were sent to the naval training station at Great Lakes, Ill. The last time Mr. and Mrs. Dawson saw Joseph was when he visited them in April. He returned to Great Lakes for transfer to activ duty and they did not hear from him again, They visited Thomas] several weeks ago and he spent the week-end of Sept. 12 here. . Both of the youths attended’ St. John’s academy: Thomas worked at Kingan & Co. and Joseph at the Meier Packing Co., before enlisting. Thomas has won “four or five medals in gunnery” Mrs. Dawson said and may have a chance soon to put into practice his ability with a gun. HB

"REBUILDS FLEET

LONDON, Sept. 21 (U. Naval. observers today interpreted a speech of first lord of the admir« alty, A. V. Alexander, as a revela~tion that Britain now’ has no less than 14 battleships, five aircraft Lcarriers, 78 cruisers and a huge fleet of destroyers, including four new battleships to replace the illfated Barham, Prince of Wales, Hood and Repulse. Speaking at Sheffield, Alexander declared that Britain had replaced four aircraft carriers and 22 cruisers in addition to the capital ships lost in the last two and a quarter years—since June, 1940. “We lost a considerable number of destroyers,” Alexandersaid, “but they, too, have been more than replaced.” The four new battleships were believed to be of the 35,000-ton King George V class, planned in 1939. Since then, two have made an appearance. The King George is now in service and the Prince of Wales was sink by Japanese planes off Malaya on Dec. 10, 1941. The remaining three are the Duke of York, Anson and Howe.
