ARMY AND NAVY
MERGE AT ASTORIA
ASTORIA, Ore.—The army got
the nod at the end of a long army
navy battle. Army recruiters at
Portland had tough competition
from Astoria’s navy recruiter,
George B. Malecki, St. Joseph,
Mo., so they started talking shop
to Malecki. Now Astoria hasn’t a
navy recruiter. Malecki was
sworn into the army.
Lack Of Military
Justice Bar To
Universal Training
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Ray Saw
yer, national commander of the
Amvets, said yesterday that what
, he called the failure of the army
to improve military justice has
made it “virtually impossible” to
obtain Congressional approval of
a universal military training pro
gram.
“The high command,” Sawyer
said in a statement, “is still prono
to protect and whitewash fellow
brass while GI’s—the men in the
i ranks—are subjected to an auto
cratic system of regulations, gov
ernment and punishment.”
, The veterans organization head
; ed by Sawyer has endorsed pas
| sage of universal training legisla
I tion. Sawyer said the Amvets
! have concluded, however, that “it
is virtually impossible to sell it to
Congress until important changes
are made in the conduct of ^tne
military itself.”
“It is time,” he added, “for the
brass hats to determine whether
| they want to continue with pomp
1 and circumstance or whether they
i want universal military training.”

States Food Prices '
Advance Sharply
\ NEW YORK, (/P)—Retail food
prices either advanced or held to
their high levels today, but hope
of relief was seen in easing whole
’ sale prices for some commodities.
Eggs hit $1 a dozen in some
' Philadelphia and New York
i stores. Choice steaks continued to
sell at $1 a pound or better. But
ter commanded $1.05 in some
stores in both cities, and chain
store butter advanced to 92 cents
a pound.
But prices of most grades of
butter dropped a cent a pound on
the New York wholesale market.
Hope of breaking the upward
price spiral also was seen in de
clining futures quotations for food
commoidities.
Cheaper cuts of meats edged up
ward as demand was increased by
housewives shying away from
choice grades.
i Increased prices of poultry,
eggs and cheese weer also atribu
ted in part to the search for meat
! substitutes.

Congress Will Not
TryP rice Controls
'' • | , ——— * *4
. WASHINGTON, <*)— Six Sen
ators Expressed the opinion yes
terday that any formal appeals to
Congress for resumption of price
controls will fall flat.
Three Republicans and 1 three
Democrats told a reporter in sep
arate interviews they doubt first
that a new system of ceilings
would work and second that Con
gress would approve one.
“My present feeling is that any
price controls must be linked with
wage controls and profits con
trols,” said Senator Flanders (R.
Vt.». “I’m inclined to think that’s
too big a mouthful for the Ameri
can public to swallow in peace
time.”
Flanders gave his views as he
called together a Senate-House
sub-committee to plan a hearing
schedule for the eastern part of
the nation as part of a broad Con
gressional investigation of prices.
