JUNE 30 CEILING SEEN FOR PRICES Vo Rigid Level Contemplated in Proposed Fixing Legislation WASHINGTON. July 31.— <£’> — A well-informed member of Con gress reported today that forth coming price legislation would take the fiscal year ended last June 30 as an average period on which to base price “ceilings.” . This spokesman declared that prices would not be rigidly frozen to the levels of that period, how ever, saying that the President would be granted authority to make adjustments in the price averages for the period to compensate for market fluctuations and specula tions. The legislation also would set up a special three-man appeals court to be appointed by the chief justice from among the nation’s district and circuit court justices. Persons affected by price fixing regulations could appeal to the court within a designated period after the regula tions had been issued. Fines and jail sentences would be provided for those convicted of violating price fixing rules, it was said. Under the measure, it was re ported, the President would report to Congress every 90 days on opera tion of the price control system. The system would remain in opera, tion until suspended by either the President or Congress. JAPAN’S APOLOGY FOR BOMBING IS ACCEPTED (Continued From Page One) had no time this morning to leave to make the American protest be fore Vice Foreign Minister Kumai chi Yamamoto appeared at the em bassy with a request for an inter view for his chief, Foreign Minister Vice Admiral Teijiro Toyoda. Subsequently, Grew was asked to call at the foreign office. There, in a 20-minute conversation, he was assured by Toyoda of Japan’s regret at the Tutuila incident and in formed that the Japanese armed forces everywhere had been in structed to take the utmost care that American property not be dam aged. Meanwhile, the chief aide of the Japanese ministry of navy called upon the American naval attache. Commander Henri Smith-Hutton, to express the regrets of that branch of the service. The Tutuila was superficially damaged yesterday by a bomb which fell near her during a Japanese air raid on the Chinese capital of Chungking. None of her people was injured. During the day, however, Ambas sador Grew delivered three protests against a telephone and cable cen sorship which had prevented news of the Tutuila incident from leaving »the country until this morning’s dip lomatic meeting. The National City bank, which li«d been closed since Japan's order freezing U. S. assets went into ef fect Saturday in retaliation for similar action in the United States against Japanese funds, was re opened on a limited basis to permit British, American and Dutch resi dents to withdraw money to pay Japanese employes or government t^xes.

According to Soviet communiques, the drive has been stopped._ REYNOLDS DEMANDS IMMEDIATE HEARING ON AIRLINE SERVICE (Continued From Page One) serted, was “made over nine years ago.” “Over a period of years,” Sena tor Reynolds continued, “delega tion after delegation from these cities have called upon air carriers and tried to interest them in this service with no success. “The committee appointed by these cities to carry this proposed route to completion finally con tacted Canadian Colonial airways, and found they were a small, ade quately financed, efficiently oper ated airline ,and that with an op eration of only 330 route miles, needed very badly an expansion in their mileage in order to more economically operate the system.” The Senator further charged that “at no time was any other airline interested in our problems until Canadian Colonial airways filed their application. National air lines,” he said, “was specifically questioned upon this subject by responsible citizens, and they denied any interest in serving the coastal section. Eastern Airline became im mediately enthusiastic after nine years of indifference, although at that very moment it was general ly known and admitted by that company, itself, that it did not have sufficient equipment to fly its present extensive operation.” Senator Reynolds referred to the proposed Seaboard airlines as a “carrier which did not and does not exist, except on paper, and does not have an airplane, had not and has not ever flown an air plane, and, as far as can be learned, hs no organization, even a skeleton one. Calling attention to a request by National airlines for a postpone ment of the scheduled September 15 hearing, Senator Reynolds warned the acting CAB chairman of the possibility that a similar request might be received from Eastern airlines, “which will be predicated, in my judgment, not upon the fact that they are not now ready to try this case, al though they have had 12 years to survey the territory, but upon the fact that they would not be able to fly it because of lack of equip ment and personnel, even though they acquired the permit.” “I have been reliably informed,” he said, “by my Atlantfc Coastal Cities Air Service association and the officials of Canadian Colonial airways that they are now, at this moment, ready to try this case and ready to fly the line. If the other carriers are not now ready, after having had over a year to prepare their case, you should not allow them to retard progress, es pecially where the taxpayers are so vitally concerned and where your department and the airline must naturally depend upon con gress for the necessary appropri ations to function.” 2 SMILE QUEEN — Selected as 1941 “smile girl” of the Arkansas-Mis souri Ozarks festival at Hot Springs, Ark., Miss Jimmie Dell Tillman dis plays the winning smile that brought her the title. Police Locate Auto Before Theft Known! Richard Murphy, 910 North Fifth street, was agreeably sur prised yesterday morning when he reported to city police that his automobile had been stolen and was informed that it had already been recovered.

Mr. Murphy said the car was stolen Wednesday night. Th ■ machine was undamaged, but a wheel and tire valued at $15 had been removed from a rear compartment. SUPER ECONOMIC BOARD SELECTED (Continued From Page One) ■Where the committee •will find authority to enforce its judgments was not made clear. But the board includes the heads of the depart ments which would be involved and presumably they would simply order their subordinates to carry out the activities agreed upon by the board. Wallace has long been a principal administration advisor on economic questions. His status in that re spect going back to his service as secretary of agriculture. During his tenure in that office he instituted a series of meetings attended by government economists for the dis cussion of economic problems. These seminars have continued since he became vice president. He has been deeply interested, •too, in the inter-related economic problems of the United States and South America. Last winter he was dispatched as President Roosevelt’s representative at the inauguration of President Avila Comacho of Mexico. In establishing the board, Mr. Roosevelt gave it these function*: “Advise the President as to eco nomic defense measures to be taken or functions to be performed which are essential to the effective de fense of the nation. “Coordinate the polices and ac tions of the several departments and agencies carrying on activities relating to economic defense in or der to assure unity and balance in the application of such measure. “Develop integrated economic de fense plans and programs for co ordinated action by the departments and agencies concerned, and use all appropriate means to assure that such planes and programs are car ried into effect by such departments and agencies. “Make investigations and advise the President on the relationship of economic defense measures to post war economic reconstruction and on the steps to be taken to protect the trade position of the United States and to expedite the establishment of sound peace time international economic relationships. “Review proposed or existing legislation relating to or affecting economic defense and, witu the ap proval of the President, recommend such additional legislation as may be necessary or desirable.” REDS PREPARING COUNTER-OFFENSIVE AGAINST GERMANS . (Continued From Page One) Hitler how his methods can be turned against him.” Meanwhile, as to Britain, there is a plain feeling in Soviet circles that aid to the Soviet should be reinforcedwit h something more than the bombing of Germany and France. The British explanation that short nights do not permit long range raids and pleas that the army is not prepared for large scale operations in Europe are met withsou r looks. For Soviet sources say with some bitterness that in 1914 Imperial Russia, although unprepared, an* swered the pleas of the British and French commands and launched the offensive into East Prussia. True, these sources add, Russia thus lost two army corps in the resultant battle of Tannenberg, but they say this sacrifice materially Durham Site Selected For Future Army Camp WASHINGTON, July 31,— (ff) — The War' department announced to day award of a contract for archi tect and engineering services in connection with the construction of a triangular division camp at Dur ham, N.
