Cracks In The Walls Of High Prices - - One of our favorite -Negro spirituals, condensing and dramatizing an ancient story, proclaims that when "Joshua fit the battle of Jericho . . . the walls came tumbling down." Americans have been battling for months against the high price walls of the post-war inflation era. These walls have not yet come tumbling down, but they are cracking. - Such cracks suddenly appeared last week in the . price structure of many cost-of-living items. These are precisely the items that have made the inflationary period so diffU cult for the hundreds of millions of Americans who belong in low-income groups, For the vast majority, therefore, such developments have been. cheering rather than depressing. However, not all the comments heard nowadays signify elation. Producers and processors are understandably dis--turbed because of what a continued drop might mean in relation to large commodity supplies on hand. The stock mar--ket break of September was regarded as a portent of coming precession, and there has been uneasiness from coast to coast " as to how far it might go. ' - What is happening to food prices is of consequence to - every American, and it is therefore interesting to note sev eral explanations of recent trends. First, although not necessarily foremost in importance, j is the increasing consumer resistance to high prices. While - no general "buyers' strike" has appeared Americans are not given to hunger strikes disgust or necessity have stimulatted buying of cheaper commodities, use of substitutes and in(Tenuity in planning meals so that household allowances may ". be stretched farther. This has particularly hit perishable p commodities whose cost soared with the removal of OPA ! controls. Now they are being shaken down.

Second, harvest of many commodities particularly

, fruits, vegetables and wheat have been setting all-time re-

cords, and additional bumper crops are forecast for 1947, Thus the supply is overtaking the demand for such items weakening or removing the props under high prices.

Third, extensive forecasts of a' coming recession have

had a depressing effect in commodity markets. Taking their

cue iron such talk and 'from realization that mices could

net remain inflated irxlefmitely traders are betting that

commodity costs will be substantially lower next summer when deliveries will be due cn contracts now being made. They expect a drop of 15 to 30 per cent from present levels, and re bidding' accordingly. ' Other suggested explanations include the sham curtailment cf government -buying of foodstuffs for the armed faxes and for relief shipments abroad, the threat of liquidation of excessive speculative inventories and a consumer diversion from high priced fresh foods to hoards of canned foods left over from war da3rs. All thesa factors mean reduced buying hitting prices sharply in wholesale markets and moie gradually in the retail tvade. . if this is the beginning of the end of post-war inflation, . as seme observers describe it, the price shakedown may get rough for a while. But the initial effect is a break for the consumer and the trend will stimulate purchases of essential items. Ultimately we may have more money for luxuries, too. The nation's general economic health is sound, despite forecasts of a nasty hangover from the inflation spree.

AT SHELBTJRN Some two thousand basketball

enthusiasts of this region jam

med the Shelburn High School gymnasium to the rafters Friday night to see the Panthers roll up their twelfth consecutive victory without a loss to stand undisput

ed among the state's undefeated high school quintets as they downed the Greene county Ja-

sonville Yellow Jackets, 30-28, in a closely contested battle

throughout.

With the scoring tied nine

times, the hectic' play was marked by classy v ball hawking by both squads as. the tallies hung in a two-point margin during most of the engagement.

With less than two minutes re

maining in the ball game and

trailing 27-28, Dick McHugh connected on Gambill's foul to tie the scoring at.28-aH. A travel in

the Jackets' territory gave Shelburn possession of the circular

pigskin and some split second

passing down under the basket to Dick Sweet placed the game on

ice as Sweet eluded his guard to

send a beautiful hairpin curve up from the floor to drop through

the network without moving a thread. The remainder of the closing seconds was spent in a Panther keep-away and Jacket fouling.

Coach Paul Weekley's charges

found plenty of trouble in the upper passing airlanes due to the long arms and perfect timing' of the towering Jackets but mid-way in the second stanza . they began practicing a low, knee-high pass with a feint-toward-basket-and-out-again method that was successful in drawing the less agile

Jackets away from Panther

scoring aces.

Coach Audie Swaby counted

on his team's better than six-foot average height to completely close out 'the Panthers but the

plucky Sullivan county boys matched the Jackets basket for

basket despite the height disadvantage and handed the Jackets a deciding stinging at the foul line, hitting eight to the losers'

six. Each took a toll of eleven buckets from the field. Commanding most of the rebounds in the first period, McCullough marked first and secend with Gambill adding one point 6n Bob Anderson's foul. Sweet's bucket with three and one-half minutes gone opened the Panther scoring and . Edd

Livingston collected on Stewart's foul (5-3). '

. The quarter ended 7-5, Jsfson-J

ville, with Willie Stewart's long arms on rebound counting for one and Livingston answering him in a speedy Panther down-Ihe-floor passing exchange. In

the second, McCullough made a successful lightning approach and Bill Metheny scored on Anderson's interception, to be followed seconds later by Livingston's basket. Seifert and Sweet swapped goals and Gambill hit on Anderson's foul (12-11). Tom Santus, coming into the fray for McHugh, threw a mighty heave down the court to Sweet, who scored only to be followed by Huf for the Jackets, ending the half 13-14, Jasonville. In the third, Livingston's collected free throw tied the scoring (14-14) for the third time and Sweet pushed the Panthers to the foreground with a pass from Metheny. McCullough hit Anderson's foul, Anderson redeeming himself with a bucket

from Sweet's under-the-basket feinting pass. Gambill and Metheny traded fouls and Gambill another before dropping in a bucket for a 19-19 tie with three minutes remaining.' ;. ' McCullough forged the Jackets ahead with a fielder and Sweet

evened the score again. Gambill's the pains are gone from my'mus,

A black pall hung over the city; warehouses blazed

FROM the decks of the gunboat Pinola to which he had been transferred when the Itasca had been wrecked by a round shot through her boilers, Lieut, Meredith looked out over New Orleans. A black pall of smoke hung over the city, warehouses blazed. The levee was black with howling humanity, hurling curses at the Yankees. But now the small boats were putting two officers ashore to arrange the surrender. Tom gasped. That mob would tear them to pieces. Had Farragut gone daft? But the old man knew what he was doing. He had gauged the temper of the inhabitants and though they shouted they did not lay a finger on the men. Watching them, Tom thought about Julie. When would he see her? Had she changed? Perhaps she no longer wanted to see him. He felt sick and miserable and completely empty of

No word from Tom. No word from Stephen, Ai Etienne, too, lost to them, his fate unknown. cihe and Aurore were on the upper gallery when they were startled by th? ragged crash of musketry followed by the deep boom of a cannon. A moment later a troop of Confederate horsemen burst from the shelter of the trees and raced toward Harrow. , - . Julie came out upon the lower gallery as the men hurried up the stairs. She held up a hand. "Gentlemen," she began, "I must ask yon to explain . ." The leader put out a horny paw and caught her under

the chiri. "Likely filly, ain't you?" he said. " Tend to you later when I ain't so busy with the damyankees." He whirled her around. "Now git!" Swiftly, the men took positions in the North Wing, just aa a gunboat drifted into sight. At its masthead were the stars and stripes. Julie could see the crew working feverishly, elevating the muzzle of the squat black mortar. She turned wide-eyed to Aurore, but at that instant the whole North Wing of Harrow blazed with musketfire. They could hear the shrill whistle of the minie balls. Then the mortar aboard the Cayuga spoke bass thunder, shaking the sky and the river. The two women stood there frozen, and watched the great black ball climb to the top of its arc, then hurl down to smash the wing which ex
