Patriotic Duty to Tell Storekeepers About Ceilings, Says Henderson’s Warning; Tells Consumer to Pay | No More Than Legal Cost,

Oct. 10 (U. P) —Many American | § “slightly higher” prices of 11 broad groups of food products authorized after next Thursday, and eventually may become “price wardens,” OPA

‘WASHINGTON, housewives will help check on

officials said today.

They emphasized that, for the time being, enforcement of a new alternative pricing formula on such common items . as breakfast cereal, sugar, coffee and canned vegetables will

be on a voluntary basis.

Price Chief Leon Henderson, in a message to housewives, said it was their “patriotic duty” to inform a shop- | |

keeper if they believed’ he failed to abide by the letter ‘and spirit of the price control

program. “Remember, your cost of living and your neighbor's are vital to the war effort,” he said. “You can help in our national battle against rising prices and the danger of inflation by refusing to pay more than the legal price . ..”

Adds to Food Costs

The actual penhy-by-penny increase to consumers under the new pricing formula could not be immediately estimated because of its complex nature. OPA experts, however, figured the system will add between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 to the $2,000,000,000 annually now. spent in the 11 food classifications. ! Other products affected include . canned fish, cooking and salad oils, rice, hydrogenated and other shortenings, dried fruits and lard.’ The new provisions were worked? out by OPA to relieve pressure on wholesalers and retailers’ who were caught between March quotations under the general maximum price regulations and the amounts they had to pay for restocking their shelves. More than 575,000 food stores and 5000 wholesalers will be given an opportunity to use it. Under the formula, a retailer may decide whether he wants to use his ‘March quotations or a designated markup ranging from 5 to 25 per cent. The amount varies for each food group and each of five classifications of retailers. Three groupings of wholesalers are given smaller specified mark-ups.

old Supplies Return

Officials explained that the regulations should bring back on food store shelves many products and brands which had disappeared or were scarce because the merchants declined to replace items on which they would lose money. “They said that a housewive’s total food expenditures may decrease because she has had to buy higher quality goods because ' lower-priced items were unavailable. OPA officials have asked buyers to patronize stores where ceilings were posted and to avoid those where they are not. Before the war is over, one spokesman said, it probably will be necessary for housewives to become “price wardens” to enforce ceilings. He estimated that 2,500,000 enforcement officers would be needed for air-tight check-ups, adding that such a staff obviously was impossible. Ask Buyers to Check Greater use of the housewives to check on violators is following the example of both Great Britain and Canada where women keep so-

‘.: called “Queen Elizabeth books” to

note quotations. OPA officials said that the alternative pricing formula was the first of three remedies being worked out to aid food wholesalers and retailers who were squeezed by the March ceiling prices. The others, to be issued shortly, will permit specific price increase on some new-pack canned goods other than vegetables to cover mounting costs of the raw materials and labor and a number of highly seasonal products such as holiday candies, apple cider and maple sirup.

ADMIT TYING HANDS OF NAZIS

British Say Error Later Corrected; Some Sark Fugitives Shot.

LONDON, Oct. 10 (U. P.).—The British government in a formal

statement today said that the hands|

of German prisoners taken at Dieppe and also at Sark had been tied and that some of the Nazis captured at Sark had been shot when they broke away and tried to give the alarm. The statement said that the binding of prisoners’ hands at Dieppe was unauthorized and that the order had been countermanded when the German government complained. . The lengthy statement did not disclose whether German prisoners have been shackled in retaliation for the Nazi action in shackling British prisoners taken at Dieppe. This action had been announced for noon today. (An Ottawa dispatch reported that German ‘prisoners in Canadian camps were chained starting at noon today.) The Germans taken in the raid on the isle of Sark, it was said, had their hands tied so that their arms could be linked with those of their captors. Fugitives Are Shot

Some of the Sark prisoners,

ment said, and attempted to give the alarm by shouting. The British raiders shot these men, He statement said. It was understood that Prine Minister Winston Churchill was

planning a. formal . statement tof

‘PATRIOTIC’ CONVICTS CONFESS IN 3 FIRES

SALEM, Ore., Oct. 10 (U. P).— Warden George Alexander said today an appeal to the prisoners’ patriotism led to confessions from five men at Oregon state penitentiary that they used cell-made incendiary “bombs” to set two of three recent fires in the prison flax sheds. Fires on Aug. 21, Aug. 26 and Sept. 18 caused damaged estimated at $230,000. Four convicts pleaded guilty to arson charges in circuit court yesterday, explaining they set the fires in hopes that after the flax plant was destroyed they might be paroled to take other jobs. Trusties William Bowen, Harold Manning, Leland E. Thomas and Eugene’ Taylor _wére sentenced to five additional years in prison. Wilbur Brown was given a two-year ‘term for complicity.

Navy's Recent Raid With 15 Tons of Bombs Meets No Resistance.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 (U. PB). —An analysis of recent navy com-

‘| muniques indicated today that Jap-|ing

anese resistance on Kiska island in

‘| the Aleutians—Ilast enemy base in |that area—was becoming progres-

sively weaker. The navy's latest report on the

| situation, describing an Oct. 6 raid

by army,bombers which dropped a

‘total of 15 tons of bombs on enemy positions, significantly men-

tioned no resistance. One Jap seaplane was destroyed on the water, but the navy made no mention of enemy planes in the air. A communique on Wednesday said the islands of Attu and Aggatu apparently have been abandoned by the invaders; that “only light antiaircraft opposition was encountered and all of our aircraft returned.”

Six Fighters Shot Down

Six seaplane fighters were shot down in that encounter but previqus communiques had mentioned crack zero fighters in the area. The lessening of resistance does not necessarily mean that the enemy is ready to pull out of the Aleutians. On the contrary, they are believed to be digging in in

preparation of further heavy at-}

tacks by army four-motored fortress and liberator bombers. The base at Kiska is too important to be given up without struggle. ican movements in the Aleutians through aerial reconnaissance and, more important, provides a base where Japanese submarines may be refueled and rearmed and fresh crews put aboard. Then, too, the enemy would “lose face” at home by quitting the islands.

CLAIM QUISLING WARNS HITLER

Appeals for Modification of Terror in Norway,

Reports Say.

LONDON, Oct. 10 (U., P.).— Patriot resistance is spreading throughout Norway and Vidkun Quisling, arch Norwegian traitor, has appealed to Adolf Hitler to modify the ruthless gestapo terror campaign which is only intensifying opposition, Stockholm reports said today. Authorities threatened to extend the state of siege to Hamar, 60

miles north of Oslo, when inhabi- :

tants demonstrated in protest against executions, dispatches said. Many persons were reported arrested at Gran, 40 miles north of the capital, when a store of arms was found, it was reported. Incidents were occurring in towns along the Swedish frontier.

Extend State of Alert

Stockholm reported that Josef Terboven, German overlord of Norway, and Herman Redeiss, gestapo chief, had returned to Oslo from Tronheim, possibly to extend the state of emergency. Quisling was reported to have said that he could not continue to function as nominal head of the Norwegian puppet regime unless Hitler withdrew Terboven from the country. Dispatches reported that the gestapo had extended the state of emergency existing in the Trohdheim area of the coast to Skien, birthplace of the dramatist, Hendrik Ibsen. Skien is 210 miles south of Trondheim, where a state of emergency was first decreed.

More SS Troops Arrive

Additional SS troop forces were reported to have arrived at Trondheim. Many more than 1000 patriots were believed to be under arrest in: the Trondheim area, including all labor union leaders. Antoine Delfosse, Belgian minister of justice, just escaped from Belgium, asserted here today that despite famine and repression Belgians were striking back at the Germans. He said that sabotage was conducted unceasingly against factories, communications and German headquarters, that Belgian Wjarsenid leaders were organizing thousands of aides, that German army desertions were increasing, that concentration camps and prisons were overflowing and that more patriots had been executed than during the entire four years of the last world war when Belgium was occupied. ‘LODGE SPONSORS PARTY Fidelity Rebekah lodge 227 will sponsor a card party at 8 30 p. m.

Mrs. Carlson believes her six languages and her intimate knowledge of the countries in northern Europe will stand her in good stead with the WAACS. “No assignment in the WAACS could be half as tough as the one I had in Copenhagen,” ' she said. When the bombers flew over the Danish capital she worked four days at the consulate, caring for some 2400 American refugees. “We heard hob-nailed shoes on the sidewalk 24 hours a day. That's what the Danes hear all the time,” Mrs. Carlson, though born in Denmark, was educated in Switzerland and married an American.
