4 Sen. Gillette Says Profiteering |
' From War Scare, Control Threat
BY EDWIN P. HAAKINSON
¥ WASHINGTON, July 17. — (AP) — Reports of food
price increases in some areas brought a warning today from
{ Senator Gillette (D.-lowa) that “attempts to profit from
the war scare may bring controls.” L i
Gillette is chairman of a Se
| tee that has been investigatir
{ paid by consumers and those 1
! products.
“Widespread increases in bread
| and bakery prices may force our |
} subcommittee to reopen Learing in 1
| this field,” Gillette told a report- l
| e |
i Gillette said previous testimony
showed that the baking industry
boosted retail prices quickly when
ingredients increased in price in
the post-war decontrol period.
| £ Awever, he sald:
: “The industry was a good deal
fess zealous in reducing prices
l when costs declined on grains, fats
and other products.”
: Commenting on the current price
i situation, Gillette said that “some
of the price increases in foods may
be the result of a trend toward
qvar scare buying. Holders of such
gommodities are tempted to collect
# little extra profit.”
He added that such action not
only is likely to bring controls
but should bring them,

eceived by producers of food
two house members urged a con
gressional investigation of recent
price rises throughout the coun
try.
Rep. Klein (D-NY) said bakers
and dairies have been “scaking the
consumer without conscience.” He
said he is nauseated by “the cur
rent efforts to soak the consumer
for all the traffic will be?x because
of the Korean operation,” and
added that he will ask the house
to investigate.
Rep, Flood (D-PA.) said he will
seek an inquiry into price increases
in the Washington area. He refer
red particularly to a one-cent boost
in the cost of a loaf of bread an
nounced by two local bakers, to be
come effective today.
That, said flood, is “an obvious
attempt at war scare profiteering.”
Gillette, commenting that “food
costs have a terrific impact on the
nation’s economy,” declared:
“If there are unjust profits or
unreasonable spreads then there
should be controls.”
However, Senator George

Area Rents Office
To Adminisfer
Extended Confrols
Clearing up a point that he
said has caused some misunder
standing, Harold Robertson, area
rent director, stated today that if
a community declares that federal
rent control shall continue after
December 31 of this year, by the
methods provided in the new 1950
rent law, the federal government
will continue to administer the
local rent control program, through
the rent office as now established.
“The fact that the new federal
rent éaw requires community ac
tion to retain rent control after
the end of the year has led te
some misunderstanding that con
trol after December 31 would have
to be municipally administered,”
said the rent official,
He explained that the affirma
tive action required by the new
law if federal control is to extend
beyond December 31 may be taken
either by the Mayor and City
Council or by popular referendum
under local law, before December
31. Also, he pointed out that pro
visions for local decontrol at any
time by the state or local govern
ment, by local rent advisory board
recommendation or by Housing
Expediter initiative continue un
der the new law.
The federal rent law has been
extended for one year from July
1, 1850, with the “affirmative ac
tion” provison which permits com
munities to continue federal con
trol after Decemrber 31, if they
choose. Lacking such “affirmative
action” before that date, federal
rent control ends in the commu
nity which fails to act on Decem
ber 31.
He added that the Athens rent
office is busy carrying on the ad
ministration of rent control here
under provisions of the new law,
which continues substantially as
they were before the rights and
obligations of tenants and land
lords under the control act,

Tip-to-toe deodorant protection:
iis offered by a new soap that dis
(&ourag_gi growth of skin bacteria.
By NEA Staff Writer
Deodorants are pulling a Cin
derella act this summer. Long
regarded as a necessary but not
very exciting staple on the bath
room shelf, most of us considered
them impervious to change,
This season, however, they are
emerging in new shapes and forms
that added to their usefulness as
well as to their eye appeal.
For overall hot-weather protec
tion, one maker offers a soap
which he claims will deal not
only with past perspiration un
pleasantries but future ones as
well. The secret lies in an ingre
dient which destroys odor-produc
ing skin bacteria. These tiny evil
doers are Kkilled before they have
a chance to perpetrate their foul
deeds.
Outstanding in the wunderarm
department are the new spray de
ororants. These are packaged in
several ways. In addition to the
plastic squeeze bottle favored by
a number of firms, there is also a
rigid bottle which sprays by means
of a push mechanism on top. Much
of the messiness of application is
eliminated by this method, and a
cooling effect is obtained as the
tiny droplets spatter the skin.
~ For travelers, a tube deodorant
is offered. This ?acks easily into
the suitcase, requiring little space
and no special wrapping against
breakage. The deodorant itself is
a new cream variation of an old
formula. It spreads smoothly
without stickiness or grittiness.
Other new products which are
devoted to making perspiration
control as easy and pleasant as
possible are a stick deodorant
which is applied similarly to a
solid cologne, and a combination
package of anti-perspirant and a
plastic razor which is shaped to
fit the curve of a woman’s under
arm.

nvesfing Millions In Africa:
@ ® Y
WASHINGTON— (NEA) —Un
cle Sam’s Marshall Plan dollars—
-275,000,000 of them—are bringing
post-war light to the “dark con
tinent” of Africa in a widespread
program that embraces everything
from an agricultural revolution to
a diamond stockpile.
The American millions, plus an
other $100,000,000 in counterpart
European funds, are being invest
ed by the Eonomic Cooperation
Administration in British, French
and Belgium colonial areas to buy
increased food production, im
proved health for the natives, and
greater production of exports to
bring in dollars.
For the U. S., the program opens
a big market for machinery and
new sources of industrial dia
monds, gold, tin, oil, mangarese
and other strategic materials that
lie beneath African mountains and
deserts. : coE Tl
American technical know-how
|is part of the contribution, too.
| Experts like Dr W. V. Lambert, |
dean of the University of Nebras
|ka's College of Agriculture; Dr.
|W. A. McCall, of the U. S. De
| partment of Agriculture, and Dr.
| Arthur H. Cline, of Cornell Uni
versity, have surveyed agriculture
lin the British African territories.
Miss FEleanor H. Slifer, of lowa
| State University, is helping the
| British Colonal Office fight lo
custs. Dr. Frederick J. Brady, of
|the U. S. Public Health Service,
and Harry H. Stage, of the De
partment of Agriculture, joined
the British in the war against
malaria and sleeping sickness.
The agricultural revolution is
centered in North Africa. A $5,-
000,000 program is putting Amer
jcan tractors and farm machinery
in the fields of French Morocca as
replacements for-the traditional
camels. A new dam in central Mo
'rocco will provide irrigation for
312,000 acres of lands and will |
double electrical production.
Marshall Plan
Marshall Plan aid has dug wells
in Morocco which already are pro
ducing oil, and exploration is go- |
ing on in Alegria, seven tenthsl
of which is believed underlaid with ‘
potential oil strata. Hitherto un
}touchod regions of the Sahara
{ Desert are being searched for cop- |
| per, manganese and other metals. |
iNew deposits of iron are and phos
| phates are being sought in the |
Atlas Mountains of Algeria. !
] In the Belgian, French and Brit- |
“!ish colonies farther south, major
{ highway construction projects |
|have been started. Biggest is the |
| $50,000,000 progtam in French |
Equatorial Africa, which involves
!3125 miles of mainline road.
On the Congo-Ocean railroad,
where the ties are of concerte to |
foil the termites, 19 diesel locomo
tives, made in the U. S, are now
at work. And in the French port
.of Libreville, where there are no'

docking facilities, LCT’s are mak
ing new beachheads with cargoes
unloaded from ships at anchor.
Some of the Marshall Plan dol
lars will be repaid in products,
rather than dollars. A $1,700,000
loan to a Belgian firm for tin min
ing machinery—to be purchased
in the U. S.—will be paid back in
tin from the Belgian Congo for
Uncle Sam’s stockpile. ECA ad
vances of more than $2,000,000 for
diamond mining machinery and
development in French Equatorial
Africa will be repayable, with in
terest, in industrial diamonds also
earmarked for the U. S. stackpile.
A project to mechanize rice
farming in French West Africa
to provide basic food for grow
ing population involves $1,400,000
in ECA financing. This covers
funds for tractors, Eraders, scras;-
ers and other machinery to help
develop about 120,000 acres of
new riceland by mid-1957.
What may be the biggest new
construction job in Africa — a
railroad linking the Rhodesian and
East African system—is still in
the development stage. But ECA
is working on it as a “technical
assistar.ce undertaking,” with
three New York experts leading
the study.
TO BED WITHOUT DINNER
Complete control of the food
supply rests with the women of
the Ibo tribe, in Africa. An un
ruly husband has his food ration
cut in half until he does better
and, if he doesn’t do better, he has
to buy all his food irom another
woman of the tribe until he mends
his ways.
BARGAIN AND BUST
NEW YORK — (AP) — Each
summer finds bargains and busts
at the Saratoga yearling sales. In
1948 Mrs. Elizabeth N. Graham
paid $26,000 for a colt she later
found well named. She called him
Bib Mistake, at three he'’s still a

Gray of Tulsa bought one yearling

Seoul, 90 miles above the front.
Other B-29’s plastered the Chung
ju area closer to the front. |
The North Korean ground forces
ran into shattering American-fur
nished surprises in two actions on
the eastern front. MacArthur said
they were “two of the most con
clusive setbacks” of the Korean
war.
North of Yongdok on the east
coast, U. S. Fifth Air Force planes
tore the Reds apart. In the critical
sector around Chechon it was Anr
erican artillery that mauled them.
Yongdok, 85 miles above the
port of Pusan, is the American
supply funnel on the southeastern
tip of the peninsula.
MacArthur said the Reds have
been heartened by limited success
there in a combined sea and land
operation against the South Xo
reans Sunday. The North Korean
force attacked Monday morning
and — as MacArthur put it—*‘“re
ceived its biggest surprise of the
war,”
Air Support
Fifth Air Force fighters roared
in to support the South Korean
23rd Regiment, The result was a
“catastrophe” for the Reds, Mac-
Arthur's communique said. it
added:
“In the battle area and for four
kilometers ( two and one-half
miles) north, the supporting fight
ers bombed and strafed, throwing
the enemy into comrplete confusion.
The counterattacking South Ko
rean regiment capitalized and
pushed forward so aggressively
that the Communist force fled in
disorganized Yetreat and broke
contact with the South Korean
regiment.”
The other North Korean setback
around Qechon, 55 miles northeast
of Taejon, came Sunday night. The
South Korean 21st Regiment came
up with a unit of U. S, artillery—
not previously reported in that
sector. In the words of the com=-
munique:
“Methodical U. S. artillery bom
bardment of the Reds’ column
supplied the South Korean regi
ment with the supgorting fire it
needed to halt the Red force dead
in its tracks. By dark, the enemy
had completely abandoned any
idea of continuing its advance and
was observed constructing defens
eive positions.”

Wounded
(Continuea from Page Ome) °
American positions. They used
tank guns and evarything else they
had.
It was decided to drop back the
American front to prepared posi
tions. - The colonel’s unit was to
hold until nightfall so the move
could be made in darkness.
The colonel heard that some
thing was holding up his supply
trucks. He went back to Investi
gatee. He found intense Com
munist crossfire on the road.
Trucks Hit
“The trucks had piled up close
together,” he said, “and I got
them to scatter. Sohoi i vion
“The men were pinned down
too, but when we started shooting
back at the Communists they quit
firing.
“Then I got hit. Something sure
tore hell through my leg. I put
a good man in charge and I know
my men kept on fighting.
“T think what happened was
that the Reds came in at us from
both flanks. They crossed the
river on our right and left and
they had all their artillery sup
porting them too.
~ Heavy Toll .
“T don’t know how many of them
came at us and I don’t know how
many of them we killed. But it
was a lot.”
An orderly interrupted the in
terview. He told the colonel he
was enroute to the United States.
“On account of this?” the Col
onel demanded, pointing to his
leg.
“Oh no you don’t! I'm not going
to the United States. In a little
while I'm going to be right back
there fighting again.”
~ “Well sir,” the orderly said, “it
‘says here you are to be evacuated
to the United States, and if that
isn’t right then it is because you
made other arrangements your
self.”
“I'll tix that,” the colonel said.
“I tell'you I'm going up there
fighting again right away.”
The orderly moved along to the
next patient.
A 21, feet copperhead snake
was killed on Cherokee avenue
late Saturday night by L. R. Dun
son and his young son Linten.
~ Linton discovered the snake
crossing the street after the heavy
rain that night.
