Perplexing Snarls Delay Vegetable Price Control
By BETTY MaeDONALD Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, July 8. —Over-vhe-market-basket conversations these days are bitter about high prices housewives are paying for fresh fruits and vegetables, and the inevitable question arises: . or doesn't the government do something about price conro Back in May, the government DID decide to place at least six basic vegetables, (cabbage, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, spinach, snap beans and peas) under dollar and cents ceilings. What's held them up? Why no announcements? Here are only a few of the snarls our best economists in OPA and war food administration are trying to unravel before announcing a public policy on all prices: I. How far back should the ceiling prices extend? To the farmer? If so, he may plow under his tomatoes, for example, and plant watermelons. The government isn’t encouraging watermelon production, isn't putting a ceiling on that product. Consumers, with more spending money jingling in their jeans, would buy watermelons at luxury prices. 2 If a flat ceiling price is placed on a product, why should the farmer exert himself to grow better tomatoes or spinach, when he is paid alike for grade A and grade C? 3. Were a flexible price system to be worked out on petishable vegetables, there's still a flaw. A buyer might pay top prices for excellent tomatoes on the vine. But on the trip to market, careless handling and bad refrigeration may spoil them. Housewives won't pay top prices for soft tomatoes, and the buyer and retailer lost money,

DUR TO a shortage in wooden containers for shipping, growers of celery, lettuce, escarole and cauliflower are advised to keep their acreage below 80 per cent of the 1942 level. . . . Prices have been upped by OPA on wooden doors and sashes. . . « Dollars-and-cents prices for all wooden fence posts at production, wholesale and retail levels have been announced by OPA. . . You can now buy peeled yellow pine posts at from 8's to B80 cents apiece, depending on the size.

BY EARL RICHERT
DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR Henry F. Schricker and Republican State Auditor Richard T. James occupy offices directly across from each other on the first floor of the state house. And it is highly possible, in the viewpoint of many political ob= servers, that it will be the occupants of these two offices who will be the
principal contestants in next years
ocratic state committee which is backing Governor Schricker, indicated today that it sees Mr. James as its No. 1 enemy by turning its editorial guns on the youthful state auditor in a scathing page=
The Sentinel declared: “State Auditor Richard T. James’ patronage grab of the state store license division has given him a $25,000-a-year nucleus (the cost of operating the division) for the campaign organization he hopes will win him the Republican party's nomination for U, 8. senator next summer, “And while his principal opponent of the moment, manufacturer Homer Capehart, has to | dig into his own well-filled coffers for senatorial campaign funds, James will be building his organization at the expense of Indiana's taxpayers, thanks to State Chairman Ralph Gates and a generous Republican legislature.” (The last legislature took | store license division from Democratic-controlled state board and placed it under James.) The Sentinel charged that operation of the department under Mr. James would actually cost the taxpayers more money sihce “he has employed 11 full-time field men on a year-round basis to do 30 to 60 days work formerly done in spare time by regular field men of the state tax board.”

James’ Story
MR. JAMES' side of the story is that he is operating the department more cheaply than did the | Democrats. He says he has cut | from 23 to 15, thus effecting a salary | saving of $1550 monthly or $18,600 | annually. He says that the field men | which the Sentinel said did most | of their work for the tax board were actually on the store license | payroll and that by working full- | time for the license division they |

will increase store license collec tions, particularly delinquencies, and thus more than pay for the cost of operating the department, Store license collections have decreased more than $100,000 during the past three years. The Democrats say this is due to the closing of food stores and filling stations, but Mr. James contends that it shouldn't have been this much. He says that the Democrats have failed to collect many delinquencies which his men will do. “The Democrats are mad because I am hiring Republicans,” Mr. James said. “Naturally, I am, They certainly hire Democrats in the departments they control. They have 90 per cent of the state patronage, even though we've won the last two elections.”
There'll be a lot more of this type of thing as campaign time draws nearer and battle lines begin to be more sharply drawn.
Capehart ‘Deal’ Denied
ODDS AND ENDS: Hoosier followers of Wendell Willkie are advising him to “light” in Indiana long enough to sell himself to the district chairman and other party leaders in his home state who now are none too friendly toward him. He'll probably do some of this evangelical work during his coming two weeks’ vacation on his Rushville farm, . . . State Senator James Armstrong (R. Springville) is now employed as tax and labor co-ordinator and safety director in Homer E, Capehart's
G. O. P. State Chairman Ralph Gates, a candidate for his party's | gubernatorial nomination, flatly denies reports that he has made any “deals” with Mr. Capehart, a candidate for the Republican senatorial nomination. He says that the field is wide open as far as he is concerned and that he has told prospective candidates that the facilities of state headquarters are open to all.

She is an attractive blond. She first appeared before Judge John MeNelis yesterday, her light hair tied with a black ribbon and attired in blue slacks and a bright red jacket. She was smiling then. Today, after appearing before the judge a second time, she still smiled—even though he fined her $48 and suspended her driver's license for a year. She fs Ruth Winkle, 2005 8S. Meridian st. It all started last Friday night when she marched down the aisle of the church at 2001 S. Meridian st., singing lustily “Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition” while the congregation was shouting “Hallelujah” and the choir was singing something else.
Appeared Yesterday
Brought before the judge yesterday on a charge of disorderly conduct, the church minister, the Rev. James W. Mosier, said he didn't want Miss Winkle punished. He had been praying for her and believed she would be a “better woman.” He said she was not drunk when she was in his church. The case was discharged. Today she was there again, charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor, drunkenness, unnecessary horn blowing, and driving on the wrong side of a safety zone, last Friday night—after her visit to the church, Sgt. Clarence Griffin testified that Miss Winkle went through a safety zone at N. Illinois and New York sts, blowing her ‘horn incessantly. A drunkometer showed she'd had 13 drinks of whisky. She stated that it was eight bottles of beer, in sisting she was not drunk. Judge McNelis fined her $48 altogether, gave her a year to pay it, and took away her driver's license for a year,
