And Meat Prices Cotton Clothing To Be Most Affected In Wearing Apparel; Sugar To Go Up One Cent Per Pound. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. (UP) An OPA economist told housewives today to expect further increases in the prices of dairy products, eggs and clothing in the months ahead. He said dairy products and eggs now free of price controlswould be the main "trouble spots" in the food picture because of the seasonal decline in supply. Meat also is due for a seasonal slump but will be back on retail price control Monday. On clothing the OPA expert ,

will be in cotton apparel because of price adjustment provisions in the new OPA act, but he also ex pected rises in the cost of wool and rayon clothing as a result of abolition of OPA's maximum average price program. An OPA spokesman said the retail price of sugar also would be increased soon. He said the exact amount of the incre.ase has not been decided. But it was expected to be more than one cent a pound. The increase will result also in higher prices for sugar products. On more minor cost-of-living items the OPA official expected prices to "go up a "little but not enough to put in your eye." Meanwhile, the Agriculture Department was winding up the job of reviewing the new meat retail ceilings , scheduled to be made public tomorrow by OPA. . The new ceilings ' wiU push prices beldw present levtels but fiot all the' way back to June 30th levfels; '011 'the' average,- &g5ri creases over June 30th are expected to be six cents a pound higher on beef, three cents higher on pork and eight to nine cents higher on lamb. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. (UP) Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson has written the OPA, recommending higher prices on cottonseed oil and several other types of vegetable oil, an OPA spokesman said today. OPA suggested to Anderson that if he wants prices increased he should do so by issuing a directive to OPA. W. H. Ferree, 80 Struck By Car; Injuries Slight William H. Ferree, 80, of Foley Street suffered minor cuts and bruises about noon today after being struck by a car driven by Charles Thomas, 1031 East Washington Street at the corner of McCammon and East Washington Streets. Thomas told officials he had just pulled away from the curb where he had been parked in front of Falconbury's Store, when Ferree stepped out into the street in front of the car. "I sounded my horn and we both stopped," related Thomas, "Then just as I started moving again Mr. Ferree stepped out also and I couldn't stop before the car struck him." Ferree was taken by ambulance to the Mary Sherman Hospital where he was treated for minor injuries and shock. Sheriff Harold Reynolds and Chief of Police George Barrick investigated the accident. No charges were preferred. REV. HARTFELTER TO SPEAK HERE SUNDAY Rev.
