OPA. AVPli DESERVE PUBLIC'S AID TO WITHSTAND EFFORTS OF WRECKERS Attempts of the clothing industry to sabotage the government's program for increased output of inexpensive clothing has been reported by WPP. Chairman Krug and Price Administrator Bowles. A campaign is afoot in Congress and among various government agencies to boost prices for cotton textiles and at the same time' prevent wage increases. William P. Jacobs, executive director of the print cloth "roup of cotton manufacturers, with headquarters at Clinton, S. C, has informed members of his organization that the

pressure campaign has achieved considerable prog i ess. mDiinistrator P.owles is quoted in news dispatches as acknowledging activities of the pressure groups, but denying that Uiev had achieved any noteworthy success. News that the chiefs of OPA and WPP refuse to be diverted from their integrated ph.n for greater production of moderately priced garments is reassu'ing. Clothing costs Ir.ive risen disproportionately in recent months. Manifestly (he government cannot conscientiously insist on holding the line on the Little Steel formula if it permits the cost of living to get out of hmd.- . Working people have been particularly haVd hit by the cost of clothing increase. The reason is that manufacturers have almost stopped producing inexpensive garments. The. shifted from the production of 'the less expensive items which yield low leturns to the production of luxury items which yield high profits. Women shoppers can find -x the S20 blouses they may tTesire, but they have little range of choice in plain, everyday models at $1.98. Clothing for children and work clothes which always yielded small profits have almost disappeared from the market. Several days ago it was announced that WPP and OPA had worked out an integrated program to channel 73 pev cent if civilian textiles into the production of essential clothing. Production is to be tied to price and price to production. Die prog-ran? will cut off about one-third of the luxury goods now crowding the market. Materials forme'ly utilized to produce the luxury items w ill go into essential clothing. This part of the program falls on WPP., while the roll back 'of 6 t; 7 per cent in prices is OPA's contribution to cheaper clothing.

(It course this program will inconvenience some clothing manufactu'ers and distributors. They will be "squeezed." At the same time, OPA has collected data to show that they can well afford the squeeze, as profits are about ten times ns gi-eat'as they were prior to the war. It" the publ'c is aware of its best interests it will stand solidly behind OPA and YV.PB- in their effort to effectuate their program for increased production of moderately priced; clothing. America so far has escaped the horrors of runaway in- ; liation but the soldiers overseas have had first-hand experience with it. Cpl. William A. iagan, of the Bronx, New Yo-k, has written to the Office of Pi-ice Adminitsration relating some jof his experiences in France, Belgium and Holland "vith inflated prices. He paid $36 for a dinner of liverwurst and potatoes, one dollar for a bar of chocolate and the same for a -6-cent'bar of soap; two dollars for a package of cigarette. Cpl. Fagan is loud in his praise of OPA. The great service it has performed for'America lias impressed all -oar soldiers in Europe. They perceive, after their experience with inflation, that we shall need price control not only .during the war kit for an indeterminate time after it.

Those New York city hijackers who swiped $3,000 worth of buffalo steaks must have a sense of humor. They pulled the job on Meatless Tuesday.

And to bj imrrer the personal social su pervision of Aunt Sarah,, jolly, sophisticated, and gossipy? Well when en route to Indian Stones, Aunt Sarah promoted Beth Calder as a matrimonial prospect for Aggie. Arriving at Rainbow Lodge, Sarah's country house, about 10 p. m., they were greeted by oM John, the family's vctf?.n butler. Sarah, who has been complaining of a sore throat, enters the lodge by a side entrance. Aggie is startled to find a hunting knife in the iront door frame, impaling a card bearing the name: Henry H. Boearly. He left , the kr.ife on the porch rail and showed the card to John who said he hasn't seen "Mr, Hank ... a rough-and-ready sort" in thirty years. Bogarty had wired Sarah that day: "Arriving shortly tor new grubstaki.. Love." Aggie rites that his aunt seems worried when mentioning "Hank." John announces Mr. Calder who strides in asking, "Oh -Sarah you Ivd a wire from Bogarty?" Then lie sees Aggie. CHAPTER FIVE t!t did not introduce Mmsi'ir, or v.-.uit .for an fcitrwlvction, or veti allow Aejrie to perJm-m the amenities. Hp said. "John didn't tell me you lutil anybody here! The old fool is iin'b:-.hv fre'tlinsr senile! I want ti. -ce ymi alone." Sarah's '-r.'sy eyes were placid. "VinUnly..Jini, you didn't give pi.vr i'ld John a chance to tell you any-, Uuii.

Ajrgie s'-rolh-d over to the- bookcases as if to n'kvovrr what his aunt's readirw habits were. 1e was t'-tnkin;: that he did not know much about Sarah. They corresponded merrily through the years. They saw each other l'.eetingly during winter vacations. At Indian Stones, and in New York, she was a scciJil high priestess, a fabled meddler in the affairs of others, and a gossip without a peer. He knew, also, that she wa.s generous to the point of vice, and that her heart was made of mercy. As old John went on talking,' Aggi-e pretended to look at the book titles.. But he did not see them. The altitude of Mr. Calder about the long-time unseen Mr. Bogarty was obviously one of perturbation and Sarah was obviously connected with it. "Mr. Calder," said John, "ruined the iife of Mrs. Davis. And left the doctor with a young daughter " "So Sarali said," Aggie repeated. "He is a broker. His family was one of the iirst to settle at Indian Stones. He managed the fortunes of many of us, Lost some Mr. Browne's, for example. James Cal der stripped him.

Miss Wanda Wright gave a reading, "A Visit to Mt. Vernon" by Beth Heath Olmstead. Miss Wright has appeared many times before Sullivan audiences; she is always willing and has never failed to please. She is a sophomore at In diana State Teachers College and a member of Lambda Delta Phi Sorority. Mrs. Ray Tison added much to the program with her well chosen remarks on tjie general work of the Clerk's office. The public is not always acquainted with the duties of the county offices and the information she! gave was most enlightening. N. JV;

Aggie smiled at the old man's inelusion of himself in the communal .disasters..-"To bad. But most of 'em could art'ortt it." "I couldn't," John sighed. "You?" The old man nodded tremblingly, "Even me. He has that preacher's face. Even when you know he's not
