Increases CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE in every manner, shape and form until something is done A about Moran told a reporter. In announcing the price increases last night, OPA said it expects that auto manufacturers' prices generally Have to' be hiked an average of 2.5 percent as the result of wage increases already granted or ticipated.

The retail increases announced apply to nine makes of cars -Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler, Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, Hudson and Nash. They cover all models produced since March 11. The increases are smallest for the four -Chrysler -bullt cars, running only or $2 for each model. They are largest for the Lincoln Ford range -from $10 to $16, Mercury $11 to $18, Hudson $12 to $22, and Nash $1 to $10. Meanwhile, an OPA official who asked that his name be withheld said he still expects that retail prices for the General Motors line will average about 21 percent less than 1942 prices for Chevrolets, Buicks, Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles and Cadillacs.

Thus far only one model of this line -the Chevrolet four-door sedanhas been priced, at $43 more than in 1942, and OPA said this increase was for design and engineering improvements and that it did not take into account the cent hourly wage increase recently granted by GM. Bridge CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE The only possible closing of the road. Mr. O'Brien said, would be by "qualified abandonment."

After a road has been "qualifiedly abandoned" for six years, Mr. O'Brien said, application might be made to abandon the highway completely. If a highway is traveled by more than two vehicles daily, Mr. O'Brien said, qualified abandonment would not be possible if such action cause injustice or hardship.

Eugene ---AFL National I materialisson CONTINUED FROM PACK ONE duction and distribution of such tion of a reporter said he was opposed "lifting price ceilings" in the building industry. Mr. Nelson's statement: "May I' ask for space in your paper to give expression to my opinion regarding the curtailment of commercial and industrial build1ng.

I realize as well as anyone that the curtailment of anything to us Americans always brings a squawk, so protests in this case are inevitable. Let us take this question and attempt to analyze some of Its contents. "In the first place, we do know there is a scarcity of housing units in Poughkeepsie and Arlington, and maybe Wappingers Falls, and other places. This, I think, can be put down as a fact. Why is there this scarcity of housing? Certainly something else besides the families who have been living here during the war.

So it must be 'assumed that the shortage of housing has come about because the young men and women who were away with the Armed forces have returned and have either married or are intending to marry and desire to have their own homes. "I agree that they should. To be frank, however, I am not sure in my mind just how some of these persons who desire to build so as to have their own homes are going to manage the financial obligations and upkeep that are vital part of the problem. But perhaps our young veterans can reason their problems out better than we older persons can. I hope they do.

Now a Law "The Congress country passed a housing 'measure which gave preference to the building of houses for living purposes, with first preference given to veterans. That was the time for those who are complaining now to have attempted to stop the bill from passing, because it is now law. Few were posed to the housing bill then. We all applauded the act because It was one more thing for our veterans. "So It must be assumed that when the demands for homes began to take shape, housing authorities realIzed perhaps that both commercial building and housing not be was not enough for bothers.

this done simultaneously. Just time, and the law said housing had the preference. I hope the demands by veterans for homes is as great as we are told It is, and that the veterans are not only do wishing If they the can build but actually so. theory, that veterans will build homes becomes a reality, then some of our housing problems will be solved, and in the construction of these houses men engaged in building will be employed just as much AS on A few commercial buildings. "I appreciate the disappointment of those persons or firms who want to enlarge their business establishments, but I am sure they must realize also it is A very great appointment to those who cannot build homes in which to live, because materials are not available for them to do so with.

"Surely our merchants are not so seriously handicapped that they cannot wait a short while for their bustness expansion, so as to give preference to the building of needed homes for their children, perhaps, and also ours. Let us try and solve our housing problem first. Let us give our young people a chance If they desire to have and live in their own homes. We older people know this was our desire, so why rot help these people make their dreams come true. I am interested in homes, not Quonset huts or barracks, and if materials are not made available for homes, then I am afraid it may be the starting of new slums if we are forced to lot people live in such huts or barracks." Mr.

Batey's of the Trades and Labor council action: "In conformity with the position taken by the American Federation of Labor in the country, the Poughkeepsie Trades and Labor council at its meeting Thursday night, reIterated its stand wholeheartedly and unanimously to maintain present ceiling prices. It was pointed out. as is emphasized in Labor's monthly survey, published by the AFL, that AFL unions throughout the United States, numbering some 3,000,000 workers, had achieved increases in pay, ranging from 10 to 20 cents per hour, without resorting to or threatening strikes or causing increases in ceiling prices. "The AFL further criticized the administration at Washington for yielding to pressure, put on by certain unions, and permitting increases in the prices of commodities. It was pointed out that these increases in prices of certain manufactured products would tend.

to eat up whatever gains AFL workers had achieved through collective bargaining, because they would reduce the value of the dollar earned. "It was further stressed at the council meeting that the consents granted to certain industries to lift cellings are conducive to other industries demanding the same privilege and to the end that run -away inflation may be the result." Bolin Reported Resting Comfortably Gaius C. Bolin of 23 Grand avenue, was reported to be resting comfortably at Vassar hospital today.

After an absence of and half years, Be Be. has, returned to this city to renew old acquaintances, visit her mama, and no doubt recount the story of her rise to Hollywood fame. Of course, she can't talk (one of few things that she cannot do) "but probably told the tale of her meteoric rise to her mother in "dog language."

According to Mr. Greene, Be Be "can do anything that is possible for a trick dog to do." She sings, dances, sneezes, begs, prays, bows, sits up, lays down, rolls over, and demonstrates obedience, all the command of hand signals. Her repertoire is almost unlimited. Mr. Greene, who has been a dog lover since his childhood, has taught Be Be since she was a pup and now, at the age of four years, she is dog billed by Hollywood's publicists as "out of this world." Thoroughly enjoying brief vacation in Poughkeepsie while en route to theater and night club bookings in New York City, Be Be, according to Mr.

Greene, "Seems to be having the time of her life. know that some people might call me crazy, but I believe that Be Be knows that she is home." Meanwhile, Be Be dozed blissfully upon chair. At the sound of Mr. Greene's voice, however, she stood up, alert, her big eyes saying more than words. At a quick sign of his hands she bowed with all of the grace of a veteran entertainer, and then trotted out of the office at the heels of her master.

Her stubby tail wagged A farewell. Be Be is home--and she's happy. Two Men Charged With Intoxication Two men appeared in City court today on charges of public intoxication.
