4 Roosevek and ais old friend. Prime Minister W. MacKeszie King Canada, began a series or u-eek-end conversations today on what the Presicen: termed some of the deeper problems of post-trar humanity.

The President told reporters that he expected to spend a quiet weekend with the prime minister as old friends talking about a great many things, including some of the deeper problems of humanity after the u-ar.

Dec. 4 esv-The Office of Price Administration replying to critics, today said that the reports it requires retailers to are essential in the enforcement of wartime price controls. OPA devoted most of its rebuttal to testimony yesterday by Fred A. Baughan, president of the Retail Food Dealers Association of California, before a congressional committee. One of Baughan's complaints concerned the report form required under maximum price regulation No.

238. "This is the regulation which relieved the squeeze on the retailers' margin for a number of key food products," OPA said. "The use of this regulation is optional with the retailers for all two products. OPA asks no more than that those who use the regulation to raise their prices report the increases to their rationing boardsjcx "Perhaps a better indication of the sort of thing Mr. Baughan is shooting at appears in a statement he sent to Congress asking that retailers be permitted to tear down the ceiling price tags which are as essential as the reports to local rationing boards in enforcing the ceiling on key cost-of-living commodities." "More revealing still." Mr.

said: have no objection to the freezing of our margins of profit, and this can be done very simply and effectually by the issuance of an order prohibiting any merchant from realizing an increase of more than 25 per cent on his 1941 percentage of profit on any service or Funeral Rites Today jFor Mrs. Christian Rites in tribute to the memory of Mrs. Lucinda Bell Christian will be i conducted this afternoon at 2 o'clock iin the Griggs funeral chapel by Rev.
