Navy fliers said the new enemy plane ‘can “thumb his nose at us and run off,” which meant it-was faster than the Corsair.

The exact speed of the Corsair still is a military secret. But if the Japanese plane can out-fly it,

it must be close to the fastest -

The navy men- added that the enemy pilots they had met over Kyushu were “first line and pretty sharp.” Those comments, coming from such battle-wise men as McCain's chief of staff, Capt. John 8.

der” issued jointly by OPA and the

war production board. All are designed to halt the growing production of higher priced clothing, which Bowles called “the strongest inflationary trend we have in clothing today.” The other two measures were similar pricing orders directed to garment manufacturers and and rayon mills. Bowles declared that families in the low and middle income groups now are paying 12.4 per cent nore for their clothing than they did in May, 1943, when President Roosevelt issued the hold-the-line order, “They are paying more,” he said, | “not because - 'eiling prices have risen but because goods with low ceiling prices have been dropped | from factory schedules and replaced | by goods with higher priced well ings.” ‘ Predicts Price Drop Bowles predicted the new oe would drop prices for wool woven fabrics about seven per cent from | current levels and for wool knit! fabrics about four per cent. By so lowering fabrics costs, he eaid, garment manufacturers can | obtain materials to produce clothing | .for retail sale at their 1943 price line. A forthcoming wholesale regulation will allow reductions in clothing manufacturers prices to-be passed on to retailers, Bowles revealed. Retailers are under cost-plus regula-| tions that automatically pass price. savings along to consumers.

G. 0. P. WILL SEEK SOME. PRICE BOOSTS

WASHINGTON, June 5 (U. P.) —Despite Democratic cries of “inflation” Republicans intend to wage a stiff battle for limited price increases, it became clear today. The Republicans—and some few | Democrats—assert that office of | price administration ceilings have forced many producers and merchants out of business because they could not make a profit, Price Administrator Chester Bowles answered that charge ‘to- | day by releasing-a studV of finan- | cial statements of 110 leading corporations for the first six months | of 1644. The figures, he said, show! that average profits ranged from earnings “by a bare handful” of | only ‘slightly above pre-war profits | to earnings 10 and 12 times pre-| war income, The battle over price policies has “already gone one round withthe | Democrats getting the first decision. That took place in the senate banking committee, where a maJority of members approved a one-Year-extension of the price control} act without the amendments the! G. O. P. members:.sought to tack on. The next big round is scheduled | for the senate floor, where the Republicans will battlé for amendments to the OPA act while administration supporters attempt to force its ts passage unaltered.

MAY TRANSFER PRISON AT AT FORT

War Beret to Act on C. of C. Request.

Possibility that the war depart‘ment may transfer the disciplinary barracks from Ftt. Harrison gained

strength today. in word received here from Aep. Louis Ludlow, Indianapolis Chamber of Com‘merce officials had requested the congressman to urge removal of any army prison and re-establish-ment of the 5th corps area induction center there. They were “encouraged” by his wire to them stating: “Took up with war department today the matter of removal -of disciplinary barracks.from Ft. Harrison. Have assurance that the matter will have immediate attention.. Department apparently rec-

Citing the $100,000 fire and the attempted riot at the disciplinary

community menace, the C. of C., in a letter to Rep. Ludlow, said, “Now, with this occurrence, many are wondering why an army penitentiary should be established so particularly why it should be a major function of the

' long-founded Ft. Harrison.”

Proximity of the prison to Billings, hospital was termed “objectionable.”

Want Induction Center

The chamber suggested that the! induction center, moved last year| from Ft. Harrison fo Camp Atter- | bury, be .returned to. the Indian- | apolis post. It said that “Kentucky | interests have: been clamoring for| removal of the induction center to that state.” The chamber's letter | pointed oft that Indianapolis is] located in the 5th area and thus would be a preferable site, if the induction cen- | ter is transferred. Meanwhile, Col. Henry Tisdale Ft: Harrison commandant, said the barracks area razed by the fire last

WASHINGTON, June 5 (U, P.)— Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D Wyo.) declared today that congress will take “a long and dangerous step toward totalitarianism” if it passes the act extending the reciprocal trade agreements without providing for ‘congressional review. He expressed his views in a statement prepared for delivery before the senate finance committe, now holding hearings on the house-ap-proved. trade bill, The bill provides for a three-year etxension of the: act and 50 per additional tariff cutting authority. : O'Mahoney indorsed an amendment to the act providing for conqressional approval of all trade agreements ‘ made under before they can become law.
