Price Rollbacks
On Clothing Pul
Off Indefinitely
WASHINGTON. July 35 —
Oie government* plane for rolUni
Aack clothing prices appeared to
day to be sidetracked indefinitely
Changes for a six to seven pe
cent cut in retail fa-ices—toe goa
set early this year—received an
other jolt as the OP A granted fur
ther Price concessions to fabric
manufacturers.
The agency announced last night
(Hat for the rest of this year pro
ducers of woolen and worsted fab*
riot can turn out about the same
price lines of merchandise they
did before the rollback was or
dered.
Beginning in l#46 they will be
required to trim their average
prices, but not as much as origi
nally hiennad. The revised order
will be baaed on prices slightly less
than those which prevailed in
1944, rather than on 1943 prices.
VNBBPBeSENTATIVE
This is being done, OPA said,
because military requirement* and
restrictions on the use of virgin
wool to 1543 made that period “un
representative of normal civilian
operations.”
While only fabrics are affected
at present, It was learned that
OPA soon will make similar ad
justments for garment manufac
turers. This means that at least
part of toe projected retail output
will be wiped out for such apparel
as men’s suits and overcoats, chil
dren's snowsults, girls’ skirts, wo
men’s coats and a wide variety of
other items.
OPA acknowledged that adjust
ments granted to fabric producers
had just about eliminated any
hope ot price cute for such gar
ments this year.
PBOiTT MARGINS
Tire adjustments for woolens
and worsteds came close on the
heels of retail increases for cotton
garments. These also canceled part
of planned reductions. They were
allowed, OPA explained last week,
because expansion of the Inexpen
sive clothing program left mer
chants with too-narrow profit
margin* for moat of their gar
ments.
Upward adjustments for manu
facturers of rayon fabrics also
have been allowed, and probably
will be passed on to the retell cost
of rayon clothing.
Clothing prices have climbed 12
percent in the last 33 months. OPA
officials have described the rise ai
the most serious inflation threat
at present.

MANILA, July 25.—(jP)—Pushing

the Mt. Batochampar area, Aus

Gen. MacArthur reported today.
This placed them within 50 miles
of their next big objective, the oil

PETAIN
Starts On Page One
pending the constitution and mak
ing Petain a dictator.
WON’T ANSWER
Petain stolidly refused to answer
questions, adhering to his vow on
the first day of the trial. Judge
Paul Mongibeaux then read into
the record what he said was a
telegram from Petain to Hitler ask
ing permission for Vichy troops to
help the Germans in defense.
The issue arose during the cross
examination of former premier
Edouard Daladier, whose angry
testimony was punctuated by chair
slamming and shouts.
Daladier was followed to the
stand by the last elected president
of the third republic, Albert Le
brun-dressed in a formal morning
■ tuai (U1U oui^tu unjuotso Iitiu
5 wearing a rosette of the legion of
! honor In his lapel.
Lebrun recited a succession of
i military defeats which preceded
■ the French armistice.
The telegram was read in re
sponse to a juror’s questioning of
l former Premier Edouard Daladier,
’ who had testified that "all the
traitors of Prance” flocked to Vichy
' after the armistice and that Prance
, was not unarmed when the Ger
■ mans struck in 1940.
The same juror asked Daladier
whether he knew of a telegram
from Petain to Hitler congratulat
ing the Germans on the bloody re
i pulse of the Canadians at Dieppe.
There was no immediate reply.
’ CONCESSIONS TALKED
’ Daladier agreed during cross ex
amination with testimony yester
day of former Premier Paul Rey
l naud that “certain concessions in
Africa” to Mussolini were consid
, ered in 1940 in an effort to keep
Italy at peace.
i “The true cause of our defeat.”
I Daladier said, “resulted from de
! moralization of the army and the
[ old conception of the inviolability
■ of the Ardennes”—the mountain
ous gap of Belgium and northeast
Prance through which the Ger
mans burst French lines in 1940
and pushed back the Americans
i last December.
He said the defeat also was due
j to military “incapacity” and ac
tivities of the Fifth column.
“On June 25, 1940, we were told
i a new order was being constitut
ed,” Daladier told the court try
ing the aged soldier for intelli
gence with the enemy and plotting
against the security of Prance.
“It consisted of destroying Re
jublican institutions of Prance.
The Republic was destroyed con
trary to the wishes of the national
assembly which met at Vichy. As
delegates to the national assembly
left Vichy, we saw arriving all the
traitors of Prance, x x x The peo
ple of Prance, stupefied, witnessed
the Vichy coup d’etat.”
SECOND WITNESS
Daladier was the second witness
and continued the statement he
started yesterday. Petain had en
tered the courtroom at 1:22 p.m.
He was the first French chief of
state to face a court since Louis
XVI.
The swarthy Daladier at one
point picked up a chair and slam
med itr to the floor as his face
flushed with anger. He was re
counting the story of the Riom
trials in which the Vichy regime
tried unsuccessfully to pin the
blame for the French collapse on
him, former Premiers Paul Rey
naud and Leon Blum, and Gen.
Maurice Gamelin.
He said he had learned at Bour
rasol that without having been
tried or condemned, he had been
sentenced to life imprisonment.
He recalled that the former at
torney general, Gaston Cassagnau,
had refused to porsecute the case
at Riom and at this point he slam
med the chair to the floor.
As Daladier spoke, he shook his
fist. His voice frequently rose to
a shout- Reynaud listened intent
ly to the man he succeeded as
premier.

Planes and warships went into

this toll of Japanese fighting ships
collected yesterday:
Two battleships, two carriers and
three cruisers damaged. (British
carrier planes accounted for one
of the carriers at a Shikoku port).
The incomplete score also show

NIGHT FIGHTERS
Between the hours of yesterday’s
carrier-plane attack and today's
night fighters slashed at the ene
my to make this the first around
the-clock carrier strike against
Nippon. In a broadcast from the
scene, Admiral Halsey termed it "a
new phase of naval warfare . . •
The final plunge into the heart
of Japan.
"If the Nips do not know they’re
a doomed nation, they’re even stu
pider than I think,’’ he added. “My
only regret is that the ships do
not have wheels — so we could
chase them inland after we drive
the from the coast.”
Combined with a 625-plane
B-29 strike on Osaka and Na
goya—heaviest of the war—and
other army air raids, the blows
of the past two days were the
hardest ever struck against Ja
pan. Some 2,000 planes, in all,
participated.
Tokyo's jitters were obvious in
its radio broadcasts.
The enemy radio made no effort
to minimize seriousness of the
threat as Halsey's ships steamed
defiantly near the coast — close
enough for cruisers and destroyers
to shell Honshu's southern shore!
this morning, hammering at the
Kushimoto seaplane base, Shion

BRITISH
Starts On Pftfe One
eign Secretary Anthony Eden —
who I* accompanying him to Lon
don—may return to Potsdam Fri
day.
In the event of a Labor party
victory, however, the task of con
tinuing the Big Three talks will
devolve upon Clement Attlee, who
has been sitting in on the confer
ence at Churchill’s invitation.
FOREIGN POLICY
A change in British leadership
is not expected here to result in
any marked setback to the Pots
dam negotiations. No sharp differ
ences on foreign policy were raised
between Churchill and Attlee dur
ing the election campaign.
President Truman. Premier Sta
lin and the British leaders held
their eighth meeting yesterday.
There was no indication, however,
of the direction the talks were tak
ing.
(A Paris dispatch last night said
U. s. Ambassador Jefferson Caff
ery and Soviet Ambassador Alex
ander E. Bogomolov had been sum
moned to Potsdam, suggesting that
the conference had reached a point
where expert assistance on proo
lems Involving France was need
ed.)
