tion Board at annually. Pedigo Will Get Job. 4. In accordance with tradition, former Gov. Arthur H.

James' secretary, J. Paul Pedigo, will be given a Commonwealth post. The former Philadelphia newspaper man, who now is living on his nearby Dlllsburg farm, was withdrawn by Martin as a member of the five-member parole board, which the 1M3 Legislature replaced with a three-member panel. There was some speculation, however, that Martin would give Fedigo the one remaining position in the parole agency. 5.

Martin will retain Charles A. French, Ell wood City, whose term as fish commissioner at $6,000 annually expired early in the spring, but who continued to serve since that time. Appointed originally by Earle, French was reappointed by James. He has the support of large numbers of organized sportsmen, Colegrove May Get Liquor Post. 6.

Arthur Colegrove, Corry newspaper publisher and secretary of property and supplies In Earle's cabinet, will fill the remaining vacancy on the Liquor Control Board. Colegrove divorced the "Little New Deal" group during last year's gubernatorial campaign when he waged a vituperative editorial battle against candidacy of Auditor General F. Clair Ross, Martin's Democratic opponent. In addition to these reports, the rumor that former Gov. James will seek a seat in the U.

S. Senate next year gained momentum. The seat now Is held by James J. Davis, who was Martin's opponent for the GOP gubernatorial nomination and who has not yet desclosed his political Plans for next year. It was understood James will be backed by the Republican faction headed by former Sen.

Joseph R. Grundy, Bristol manufacturer, defeated bv Davis for the top legislative post In 1932. While James is considered politically acceptable to Joseph M. Pew, shipbuilding and oil executive and leader of another GOP faction, it was said he Plans to back state Sen. Wel-don B.

9. UP Americans were promised lower prices for their scotches and sodas. Mint julips, wines and other liquors today by the Office of Price Administration in a change of policy on liquor ceiling prices. OPA spokesmen declined to estimate how much retail prices would be reduced because of "wide price disparities" between stores and communities. They said, however, that reductions would be most apparent in communities where military personnel and war industries are concentrated.

The change Involves a switch from the system of "frozen" prices in effect since March, 1942, to a fixed mark-up for wholesalers and retailers. It is aimed at eliminating "bootlegging" by liquor dealers who either openly or secretely have avoiled legal ceilings. The new retailer's mark-up will be 33 1-3 per cent, over net cost for distilled spirits; 50 per cent, for wine and 45 per cent, for cordials, liqueurs and specialties. The wholesaler's mark-up to retailers will be 15 per cent, on distilled spirits, 25 per cent, for wine and 20 per cent, on cordials, liqueurs and specialties. The OPA made it clear that another source of evading price controls the marketing of new brands at excessive prices on the basis of OPA's "most closely comparable product" provision would not be corrected until it issues other regulations in the future.

It said "limited personnel and budget" made it impossible to issue the other regulations at this time, a criticism of Congress for cutting its 1944 budget. Barracks 3.j78, Camp Crowder, Conomikes.
