In charge of the downtown headquarters is Harry Myers, permanent paid secretary of the Pima County Republican club.

Hall, Presiding Betty Ann Merchant vs. Arthur E. Merchant, divorce Judgment for Grocers Seek i i In OPA Program Retail Association Oppose To Any Government Form Of Subsidy Payments CHICAGO, June 23. mendations by its executive boari for changes in existing price eel ing regulations will be the basl for an immediate legislative pro gram by the National Association of Retail Grocers, an associatior spokesman said today. The board yesterday adopted an 11-polnt program urging, amonj other things, simplified price con trols and abolishment of what i described as "un-American" en forcement measures.

P. Brlnkcr, of Dallas, Tex re-elected association president said one of the group's major ob Jeclivcs "is to protect the consume: from Inflation and to guarantee him an adequate food supply at a reasonable price." The board expressed opposition to government subsidies at any level of production or distribution urged elimination of dollars anc cents ceilings on a long list ol commodities, and proposed thai maximum price controls be confined to "cost of living commodities." Change In Price Brinker advocated that the office of price administration (OPA) establish and publish one ceiling price for each commodity in an average "cost of living" budget. He said it was unnecessary to control luxury items "because price advances on luxury goods provide a means of drawing off excess purchasing power which contributes to inflation." The board advocated "one ceiling price beyond which no one may sell," and Brinker termed "unfair, unsoynd and un-American" the classification of stores by business volume or ownership for price regulation purposes. Other points in the program would "discontinue public propaganda branding retailers as unpatriotic and seeking to overcharge the public: abolish OPA 'one-man and reduce the multiplicity and complexity of reports." The group's program, Brinker said, Jias the approval of all wholesale and retail food industry representatives on the OPA food industry advisory committee. Because oranges imported into New Zealand at this time would have to be retailed at from 16 to 20 cents each, government officials have deckled to bring in only enough for hospitals, undernourished children and similar needs.

"We were spotted," the detective related, "and we had been spotte or several nights before.

While there he admitted first t. utting the Western Auto ning but denied doing damag others.

After awhile when tiowed him reports from Porter' nd one or two others he confessec hat he had been on an awnin utting spree last Wednesday ''hursday, Friday, Monday and uesday nights, "Johnson told us he 'started hi ampaign against unoffending awn ngs near the corner of Sixth ave nue and Congress street. The awn ings that were down, and he coul reach, he cut, and there were few he couldn't reach. The boy, a though only 17 years of age, is si feet one and a half inches tal and weighs about 170 pounds. "As yet he has not given a reason or an excuse for hi action," Herron concluded. According to police records th first report received was from th Western Auto Supply who tol that their awnings had been cu in several places last Thursda night.

A day later Porter's reporte that someone had entered the Stor and by means of a knife or shar instrument had ruined beyond pair about $250 worth of assortei clothing. Their awning also hai been slashed in several places, thi store officials said. Denied PniunEing Merchandise When questioned concerning thi damage to clothing inside the store Johnson denied he had any par of it, Herron stated, but did adml having been in the store. He ad mitted cutting Porter's awnings A check this morning by news men from Sixth avenue down Con gress to Stone avenue disclosed awnings on the following had been cut, In from one to a half-dozen places: Levy's department store McLellan Stores, (Jacome's evl dently escaped harm) Sayer's a 47 East Congress, Tru Value shop at 43 East Congress, and Ed Lltt, on the corner of Congress and Stone. North on Stone from Congress the Saver's Linen shop awning was cut, also Crane's candy shop the American Air Lines, Porter's, the Pioneer Tailor shop, the Irene Page Dress shop and the Western Auto Supply, all suffered some damage.

Herron Indicated that Johnson would be turned over to juvenile authorities today for such action as they decided to take. Apparently charges of malicious mischief are only ones, that may, under the circumstances, be filed against the youth, Herron stated. An estimate of the of damage done to awnings, is mpossible both store owners, managers, and police said. In the 'ii-st place the canvas awnings may repaired by sewing btit it does Ittle good since the stitches tear out in a short time. The material renew awnings is a war casualty, hey said, and cannot be obtained mder any circumstances.

Fncson Housing Situation Far From Good Yet Great Many More Persons Are In Market For Rentals Than Can Be Accommodated Over 700 requests for housing accomodations were- placed with the war housing.center during the last month, the majority of these applications made by war workers and families of military personnel desiring rentals within the lower price "scale.

As the accomodations were checked this morning only six rental units were found to be suitable for the average applicant. The largest percentage of those rejected were listed at rather exorbitant prices, over $100 many of them prohibiting children and pets. Others be cause of facilities or the fact that accomodations would only be available during the sum' mer months. War workers are more or less permanent and wish to settle In houses that are rentable the year round. Many families do not have transportation, and roust "ive close to'bus lines, which pre renting in the Catalina Foothill district or In the Sablno canyon area.

140 Rented In Month Last month 140 houses were rented through the housing center, but- of this total 72 were not suitable for defense workers. These are termed the out-migration list- ngs and are kept for other occupants not faced wltlj -the require- nenfs of defense woflcej-s. Actual- more' than 140-units were rented, houses listed previously, and not rented Immediately, are referred to applicants; For example several accomodations are available in Oracle and are carry overs "rom former listings and would not-come under the newer file. Staff members of the war hous- ng center give -out information on available places as often as the applicant desires to call at the of- ice. One case in particular was as the prospective tenant had been furnished with 24 separate listings: within the price range requested by him and having other -that were acceptable, to his needs.

For some reason he was not satisfied the and the housing center will still endeavor something suitable. to find him When refer- ring people to landlords, the staff uses discrimination and tact in trying to fit the applicant Into the proper environment, thus saving hours of needless searching and Investigating on the part of the future renter. Asked To Complete Check The only request made of the applicant is that he return the card given him' by the housing center, stating whether he the house or not. When this card, which can be mailed postage free, is received by the office they make a notation that the place is rented, and a double check is Instigated by calling the landlord and confirming the report. The housing situation is still critical, judging from the figures giving the number of available rental units, stated the housing officials, and while the conversion units nearing completion will soon "be ready for tenants, they will not be open; to military families.

Only essential war workers who have been in Tucson since July 1, 1941, will be eligible for occupancy of the 68 apartments which are being constructed under the federal conversion program. This fact was announced by Homer L. Tucson war housing director, upon his 'return from an eligibility meet- ing in San Francisco. The rentals will be handled by an HOLC contract broker, but the eligibility of the applicant must be ascertained by the war housing center before they can be considered. Applicants must be essential war workers, civilians, and must be in-imigrants, which excludes all members of the armed forces.

Looks After Military, Too Military personnel will continue to be provided for by the center and will be given listings of other units as soon as they are vacant. Those applying for eligibility certificates may do so no assurance is given that they will find accommodations immediately. The units are not ready for occupancy at the present and it is expected that many more applicants will apply than there are apartments. Work has been started by contractors on projects providing a total of 26 17 have been signed for 68 apartments and plans for 54 more' units are awaiting approval in the regional office. Within the next few weeks it is expected that the first units will be-ready for occupancy.

JUST LIKE THAT HOLLYWOOD, Cal. U.B--When Mrs. Raymond Hammond, Mlecp, heard a man moving about the room, she asked: "is that you, Raymond?" "Yes, dear," the man re- plied, "where is the money!" "In the usual place in the bureau," Mrs. Hammond sleepily replied. But it didn't happen to be Ray.

mond and the money was gone when Mrs. Hammond finally awoke. Worry of FALSE TEETH Slipping or Irritating?

And with all this restricted driving now, your car should have plenty of miles left, just so you're -not tossing them away these days, by your engine with acid. Engine acid is no "new scare Never yet have you stopped any auto engine without acid products of combustion trapped inside. But formerly, in frequent fast driving which fully heated the engine, you kept expelling the acid: So the hazard was mild compared to what it is today, when acid works while your rationed engine rests. One great recognized precaution against" current acid conditions is to OIL-PLATE your engine by changing to Conoco motor oil. At an avenge price, in the average way, Conoco N'A goes and then its special added synthetic with "magnet-like" effect attaches OIL-PLATING direct to precious Inner parts.

Much like body parts plated against atmospheric corrosion, the cylinders, rings, bearings and other parts now hard to replace are OIL- PLATED against internal acid corrosion. The OIL-PLATING that stays close- surfaced as a bulwark against acid while the car stands, will help your essential transportation today. And a -happier tomorrow may easily see you right off quick on your well-earned Victory tour. Change to Conoco N'A oil now.
