Bias* ft ar As It Relates To Home Front Is Reviewed for Week Production of metal doors, metal door frames and metal shutters for both civilian and military use has been' halted. The Secretary of Agri culture is authorized to ration farm machinery and equipment. Steel wire, used in binding certain paper and wood containers, is banned. The serious shortage in track materials will make better track maintenance a necessity for railroads and local transit companies. All these savings leave the steel industry far short of its main re quirement?iron and steel scrap. The goal set for the last six months of 1942 requires a monthly average of 2,833,000 tons of scrap. July's ship ments fell short of the average by 15 per cent. Among the states, North Dakota led by shipping 26.7 per cent of its quota, Oklahoma was lowest with 7.2 per cent. Inflation Still Threatens The Home Front's dread enemy, inflation, still threatens us with high costs as vastly increased buying power competes for scarce goods not yet under price control. Today, for example, we are paying $1.35 for what was a dollar's worth of food in 1939. Prices of foods not under control have risen almost 10 per cent in a three month peroid, whereas foods, products, and services under price ceilings have shown a slight decline during the same period. The answer is more extensive price con trol. and this control now has been extended to a varied list of products ?rugs, denims, plywood, lime for improving soils, insecticides, fungi cides, fall and winter knitted under wear, tool handles, wagon spokes, tent pins, dried prunes and raisins.

Ceiling price of ap ple butter has been raised 10 per cent, and jams, jellies and preserves will be higher . . . Following its pol icy of cracking down on chiselers who cheapen products and claim they are the same grade, OPA has ordered stricter grading of beef and veal . . . Green tea drinkers are go ing to learn to like black tea or go without. Green tea comes from en emy-occupied area . . . War expenses of the U. S. for last month topped the five billion dollar mark.
