School To Have First
War Service Annual
Definite plans have been
made fer the Bowie High School
nuai- publication,
pended two years ago because
of the U. S. entry into the world
war. The number of stu-
dents willing to buy a copy this
year has made the publication
possible again. Miss Oleta
Curlee and Miss Henley are
faculty sponsors for the publica-
tion. Franklin Kilcrease and
Alberta Hoeldtke are editors
and Mozelle' White and Harry
Stout are business managers-
The staff membership has been
limited to junior and senior stu-
gtade
ire urged
DESRITE all this gloomy out-
look for the forces battjing in-
flation, OPA is plugging hard to
hold the pfice ■ \ine. Latest
tip in the capital is that the
agency soon will slap price ceil-
ings on more grain—oats, rye,
. barley- and hard wheat. Most
k soft wheat and all corn already
,ar^ under ceilings and the ad-
ditional price maximums are
planned to keep livestock feed
prices down-

Some of the reporters who
regularly attend the presidents

The German Navy has chang-
ed its U boat tactics by mount-
ing moire anti-aircraft guns on
the conning towers and decks
oft heir subs for protection
against U. S. planes. But naval
officers are not really worried
about it because the subs are
still no match for speedy Grum-
man Avenger bombers and Wild-
cat fighter planes which now
operate from escort aircraft
carriers, or “baby flat tops’’
American attack methods were
dicslosed recently by the Navy.
Wildcat fighters strafe the decks
to keep German gun crews busy
and Avenger bombers follow in
to drop lepth bombs.
Uhlike warships, sutomarines
cannot cover their decks with
enough AA guns to offer real
protection, especially when four,
six and eight planes can co-
operate in an attack on a U-boat

Administration Efforts to
Balk Inflation Near Failure
OPA’s Inability to Check
Rising Living Costs Blamed
....WASHINGTON — Insiders in
Wasingtoh are willing to admit
that the alministrations efforts
to “hold the line” against infla-
tion have failed and that the 1
stage is being set to permit <
labor some wage increases.
The taming of the new polisy ’.
is aime^ at laying the blame
for the collapse if the “Little
’ Steel’’ wage formula at thd door
of John L. Lewis and his United
Mine Workars. But- actually,
the real cause of the failure is
the unavailing efforts of OPA
to check rising living 'icosts—
particularly food costs.
ft .This factor, in turn, according
to some official sources, is di-
rectly traceable to the belliger-
ant aUitude of congress toward
holding down food costs by sub-
A sidies. «•
All factions of organized la-
bor, viewing Lewis’ victory and
the “Little .Steel” formula can-
not continue without the support
of other anti-inflation agencies
smell blood.
