WANT PROFITEERING IN IRON, STEEL BALKED BY OPA Huge Increase Checked Quickly by Price Ceiling; Hurt Small Business WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 (U.P.) Profiteering by steel and iron jobbers and dealers, sometimes raising prices as much as 270 per cent has prompted the Office of Price Administratoin to bring virtually every stage of distribution under direct restriction.

Maximum prices for these essential metals in America's war effort: are now set for mills, warehouses, jobbers, distributors, dealers. exporters, agents, and brokers. The soaring prices for distribution apparently caught OPA unawares, since it was expected the jobbers and dealers would keep their prices in proper relation tot the restricted prices of primary producers. OPA noted that leading jobbers -co-operated "admirably," but admitted "certain others" indulged in profiteering and forced manufactufers to pay prices from 50 to 200 per cent above normal. Handicapped Small Business Jobbers and dealers in iron and steel play an extremely important part in war production, since it is their task to keep extensive stocks in their warehouses and be prepared to make quick deliveries when and where there is immediate need.

Through these distributors, manufacturers and other users of steel are able to 'obtain a great variety of products in ly small quantities. Important is the fact that many small. businesses filling contracts, directly or indirectly connected with the Victory program are entirely dependent on the distribut- GIVE ME CAMELS EVERY TIME.

THE SMOKE OF SLOWER- -BURNING CAMELS CONTAINS LESS NICOTINE than the average of the 4 other largest-selling brands testedless than any of them -according to independent scientific tests of the smoke itself! The smoke's the thing! ing industry for steel. The effect of exhorbitant prices on these small business men is obvious. Even users of "second," "wasters" and containing imperfections--have had to buy at prices wel above those which should be charged for first grade steel. In commenting on the situation, Price Administrator Leon Henderson asserted the effect of this profiteering, "has been to offset in large part the co-operative efforts of the steel industry and OPA to keep steel prices stable, an objective that must be attained if our war effort is to be successful and if we are to avoid runaway infla- tion." Small Orders Excepted The price schedule covering the industry applies not only to large distributors but to such businesses as plumbing supply warehouses, oil field suppliers and industrial supply firms, forbidding resale at prices higher than the ceiling. Resales in small quantities, however, are excluded.

For example, sale by a hardware store of a few pounds of nails out of an open keg, or a short length of pipe, are exempted from the maximum prices. However, should the needs of this same hardware store call for a full keg of nails or a standard length of pipe, the store must price the sale at more than the OPA schedule permits. OPA in making the new schedule pointed out that jobbers, dealers and distributors handle only about 15 per cent. of total mill the remaining 85 per cent. of all iron and steel being sold directly to consuming industries.

It is estimated about 11,800,000 net tons of iron and steel thus will be distributed in 1941, against 6,686,000 net tons in 1940. Boro Soldier Ctmpletes Medical Training Course CAMP GRANT, Gen.

of the men who have received training in this course have been placed in defense plants. It is imperative that the facilities of the defense institutions of the area be utilized at, this time," Dr. Reddick stated. "Those young men who are able should begin their, studies in regular engineering schools, if orginally they had planned such a course. But others who would not ordinarily be able to undertake such a program of study, because of limited financial resources, are urged to make themselves available for defense service by seriously preparing in this and other institutions offering tuition free training.

The need for trained men ts no longer an imagined one, The uninterrupted and more rapid flow of guns, tanks, ships, and airplanes from our plants is of vital concern to every American," Dr. Reddick said. He charged that previous there has been an apathetic attitude toward defense training on the part of many men and women. "There is. no.

longer any place in America for lazy minds or lazy bodies," he said.
