But that’s not the only advan-

mixing, It drives insects far, far
away.
“That was a big advantage out

• Behind the Scenes
In Washington
COME psychiatrists say that we Americans are suffering
*5 from a mass neurosis. Radio announcers advise as-
sorted nostrums for that tired, nervous fee ing. Various
politicians assure us that various things like more gov-
ernment planning, more free enterprise, white supremacy,
socialized medicine or the Townsend plan will put us on
our feet again. , .. .
Obviously, where there is so much diagnostic smoke
there must be some pathological fire. We seem on the
way to becoming a sick, nervous nation, if we aren t there
already. Some of our symptoms, of course, are evident
and have been thoroughly explored, though not cured.
We are well aware of such things ns severe shortage
in the midst of bumper production. We understand the
jumpv feeling that comes from having a peac* confnrenCe
beat the same old diplomatic bushes while the problem
of controlling atomic energy sits unnoticed in the ante-
room. We are alert to group and class tension and unrest.
# • *
ALL these add up to a state of confusion and eontrndic-
' lions. But there are other little, inexplicable contra-
dictions and confusions that clutter up our daily lives
without our being fully conscious of them. We are unwise
to ignore them—for everybody knows that it’s the little
things that drive you wacky.
What little things? Well, here are some examples
gleaned from one day's news:
The United States navy sold two destroyer escorts
to the commonwealth of Pennsylvania for $1, or consider-
ably less than the price of two dozen eggs.
• Americans spent #1,200,000,000 last year on jewels
anti other baubles. Almost half the families in the United
States have an aggregate annual income, of less than #2,000

NEA Washington Correspondent
WfASHINGTON, D. C.—(NEA)—This it old-home week for OPA
" lobbyist* in Washington. The new price control board—and bo sura
you don't make the mistake of calling it the price recontrol board-—is
holding its flrst public hearings.
The flrst problem is to decide whether to put price controls back on
grains, livestock, milk, cottonseed and soybeans
KjSEjjggJl facturers, the corn milling industry, the biscuit end
■fMnHw *1 cracker industry, the livestock association, the
American Meat Institute, the National Restaurant
Association, the Association of Retail Grocers, the
■amb inclustry. Advisory Committee of the National
Wo°’ Growers Association. And 60 others.
|’W|They sit at a great long table in the Senate Office
EH Building majority caucus room and a fine, pros-
Edaen - perous-looking bunch they are, too. At another long
table sits the decontrol board, tall Chairman Roy
L. Thompson, short George Mead, medium sired Daniel W. Sell.
r\NE by one the witnesses come forward. They have pretty much
^ the same story. They don't like price controls. They never did. They
don't like 'em any better now that they've had a month of business
ss usual with the controls off. They throw endless statistics of billions
of bushels and millions of tons, all to prove controls should not be put
buck of these commodities. That’s one side of the picture and It gets
about three-fourths of the time in each of the four day-long sessions.
The other side is represented by the consumer lobbies, the A. F. of L.,
C, I. O., railway brotherhoods, Labor Policy Committee, the Amvdta,
the university women, the Women’s Trade Union League, the Amer-
ican Home Economics Association, the Buyers' Strike Committee, etc.
Having had a six-weeks taste of rising prices on bread, meat, poultry
and dairy products with the ceilings off, they want the controls put
back on. Who wins, and who loses?
YS/HEN all the testimony is in, the board will have four days In
which to make up its mind whether the controls stay off.
In the meantime, OPA, which has now become known as Office of
Price Advances, goes merrily on its way lifting price ceilings here,
taking them off altogether there, modifying mark-ups all over the
place. Chi^f Price Advancer Paul Porter goes on the air weekly.
Porter does his best to justify the new law but admits ’’I think we
must face the fact that some increase in the cost of living it un-
avoidable."
This wins the prize us the greatest understatement of the year. It's
lot only unavoidable, it's here. When Bureau of Labor Statistics
reports a 12 per cent increase in the cost of food and a five per opnt
increase in the whole cost of living, all m one month, there you have
