Like any comipromise, the bill as a whole was not completely satisfactory to either side. OPA officials feared that some of the new provisions would weaken the agency's efforts to enforce price regulations. They noted, for example, that OPA would have a difficult time penalizing large manufacturers for overcharges since the measure provides that non-willful price violations shall carry only a $35 penalty or the amount of the ver charge, whichever is the lesser. “Wolcott, however, felt that this provision would eliminate “80 per cent of the objections to the OPA” because it would give a stronger position to those subject to price regulations. The final version also included these provisions: Removal of OPA’s "highest price line” limitation for retailers, but not for wholesalers and manufacturers. Rent Controls Relaxed

Rent adjustments may be made to allow for any “particular circumstance,” and rent controls may be abandoned in areas no longer considered necessary. All subsidy payments will cease after July 1, 1945, unless congress specifically authorizes them, No more subsidy funds will be made available at present except for ftems already subsidized—milk, meat and butter, If OPA can prove an overcharge fs willful, the violator is liable to treble damage, with the minimum scaled down from $50 to $25. If the defendant can prove lack of willfulness the charge is limited to $25 or the amount of overcharge,

FIGHT PROPOSED AIRPORT AT 73D

Residents Claim Field Would Depreciate Values, Create Noises.

Residents of Washington township suburban residential communities were mobilizing their forces today to fight the proposed establishment of a private airport at 73d st. and Spring Mill rd. Plans to draft a remonstrance to the project were started at the first of a series of meetings at the Columbia club Monday, when residents of Crows Nest, Meridian Hills, Williams Creek and Arden protested that the proposed airport site was too close to residential areas. A petition for a zone variance to permit establishment of the airport adjacent to the Meridian Hills community was filled with the county plan commission last Thursday by the Missouri Institute of Aeronautics.

Plan Private Airport

The institute's petition stated that it plans to operate a private airport as a sales depot for small planes and as a training field for civilian fliers after the war. The proposed airport would be constructed on 133 acres of land across the highway immediately! northwest of the Meridian Hills; Country club. Residents of the suburban communities contend that an airport that close to residences would depreciate property values and result in disturbing noises. Remonstrators will appear before the county plan commission June 29 when a hearing on the zone variance petition is scheduled to be held.

YANKS SEIZE PRIZE AIRFIELD ON SAIPAN

(For the Combined Press, Weleased Through United Press)

ABOARD AN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE FLAGSHIP, Saipan, June 21. —Rolling back remnants of two Japanese divisions in a wide sweep across the island, American forces who stormed Saipan six days ago now octupy southern Saipan in strength—including Aslito airfield, the greatest prize of the Marianas. Prom this 3600-foot airfield necessary for protection against the developing Japanese air attacks, American land-based planes will operate soon, replacing carrierbased aircraft which have done a lone job of keeping the skies clear. Driving northeast and south of their Saipan beachhead, the Americans smashed toward Magicienne bay on the east and expanded their 8000-yard beachhead to nearly a third of the island.

sier Republicans in congress were rejoicing today over the Gallup poll which gave Dewey 56 per cent of the vote in the state and Roosevelt 44.

‘Nothing Doing’

Lovely Mrs. Luce, whose selection to address the convention was widely. acclaimed as a tribute to herself and her sex, learned only a few days ago that she was to go on the air late at night after Mr. Hoover had spoken for 45 minutes and received the customary half hour’s

Most optimistic was Senator Ray-

_ Clare Boothe Luce (R. Conn), mond E. Willis.

“I feel positive that the Gallup poll results published today will be sustained in November by the Indiana voters,” Senator Willis said. “From my own appraisal of the situation and the mail and personnel information I have received through my office, the Republican sentiment in the state has been growing from month to month and started off with a majority.

Predicts Landslide

“Adding everything together, I feel safe in predicting a G. O. P. landslide.” Republican congressmen commented as follows:

Rep. Robert A. Grant: “The Gallup poll results looks like the pic-

not speak at all That is where it lies as of now. Chairman Harrison E. Spangler of the national committee evidently is uncertain how to handle the problem. The Hoover-Luce or LuceHoover appearance is scheduled for the evening of June 27. Spangler told questioners yesterday he did not know which one would speak first. Willkie's friends are kicking up a minor row because he has not been invited to address the convention in his capacity as a former

plaining that the state of New York failed to include Willkie among its convention delegation and that none but delegates can address the gathering except by unanimous consent. Willkie has been invited to attend as a distinguished visitor and to sit jon the platform to watch, if he likes, Alf M, Louden of Kansas, the 1936 G. O. P. candidate, will be here, too, but Landon is a political power in his home state and comes to Chicago as chairman of the Kansas delegation. Barring those little disputes things are going smoothly and Spangler expects the convention will nominate its presidential candidate Wednesday evening, June 28, and that his running mate will be named next day. The keynote speech of Gov. Earl Warren of California, is scheduled for 9 p. m. (Indianapolis time), June 26.

What of Willkie?

“I don't look for a deadlock,” Spangler said, “We should have the platform adopted by Wednesday morning and be through by Thursday night.” “will Willkie speak ” asked. “Not that I know of,” Spangler replied, and indicated he hoped he would not be asked more questions about a sore subject. But under pressure he said Willkie could come to the convention as a guest. “He is not being treated any differently from anyone else,” Spangler continued. “We make a distinction between former presidents (Hoover) and former candidates.” The credentials sub-committee will determine contests in eight states where two or more delegations have been sent to the convention with conflicting credentials. They are Georgia, Maryland, North Dakota, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

DAY

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Southwest Pacific, June 21 (U, PJ). —S8ixth army troops virtually completed the conquest of Biak island in Dutch New Guinea today with the capture of the enemy's two remaining airfields to bring the American front lines less than 900 miles from the Philippines. With tank forces spearheading the attack, the infantrymen broke through the last Japanese resist-

. ance in Biak's northern hills and

occupied Boroke and Sorido airdromes yesterday almost without opposition. After taking the two airstrips, the enemy's only remaining developed installations on the island, the troops set ou: aftér the scattered Japanese retreating rapidly toward Sorido village, three-quarters of a mile northwest of Sorido airfield. A spokesman at Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters said the Japanese losses since the Americans landed May 27 on Biak were heavy and predicted the remainder probably won't be troublesome hereafter.” More than 1820 enemy dead have been ‘counted.
