But before morning came he had
saved 06 women and children

Diputcd authority of (ho Okla-
mm rofporation cmmiKlon and
hmm cofpi
the office of nrice administration
over cotton ginning rates neared
a showdown stage Monday when
the state officials set the HM:-44
schedule above the OPA ceiling
The commission Issued an order
putting the figure lit 112 cent for
picked cotton ami 115 cents for
snapped or bollie cotton compared
to an OPA ceiling of 2JA cents
and 11025 announced last week fol-
lowing the Oklahoma luairing
Attorneva representing gmners
and the OPA differed at the hear-
ing over the OF'A’S right to stop
into the Oklahoma picture The
glnners contended that state law
and United State supreme
court ii"isun put cotton gins in
the ut'liiy cvss here therefore
outside the OPA jurisdiction
Against tbit argument It wa as-
serted that over the nation gins
nrn not no generally recognised
The 1P42-43 ginning rate was
2(1 25 cent and 2887 which con-
formed to tho OPA celling Both
last year and this year the OPA
agreed to a 5 per cent Increase
In setting the higher figure tho
commission conformed to a rec-
ommendation of Its rate analyst
Paul Reed it was explained by
Chnirman Hofnrd Bond and took
into account various factors In-
cluding greatly reduced crop vol
