OPA Tells General
Motor Auto Prices
WASHINGTON (UP)— Retail
price increases in five General
Motors cars were announced to-
day by the OPA.
Prices were boosted from S1G
to StiO on Chevrolet, Bui< k. Pon-
tine, Oldstnobile and Cadillac
models, with the new ceilings in
effect immediately.
The OPA says increases in
factory wages are reflected by
the price hike. The agency says
some of the pay raise was absor-
bed by the dealers, but some pay
boosts went beyond the maxi-
mum absorption point of the
dealers.
Gambling In Brazil
Crushed by President
RIO DE JANEIRO (UP) — ]
| The powerful gambling indus-!
j try in Brazil has been crushed!
{ President Gaspar Dutra. He has j
: cancelled all concessions for j
j casinos, race-tracks, lotteries ami !
1 every form of games of chance !
President Dutra says that'
gambling has become a "social!
cancer." The first immediate ef- j
feet of his decree was to throw i
out of work no less than 200,000
persons employed in gaming es \
tablishments. A newspaper says i
profits in casinos in Rio alert ? |
have reached $15,000,000 a year, j
The fiddle hadn't been invent-
ed when Nero reputedly fiddled
at the burning of Rome in 04 A.
Mountain Men Feud
With FCC On Origin
Of Hillbilly Tunes
WASHINGTON (UP) — An
| argument over the origin of such
j Hillbilly ballads as the "Mar-
tins and Coys" came under the
scrutiny of the federal govern-
ment today.
.Mark Kthridge, manager
of radio station VVH.AS in
LouiNVille, Ky., dropped the
hot potato in the govern-
ment's lap. He told the fed-
eral communications coin,
mission that Kentucky wins
getting tired of a claim liy
Tennessee that she gave the
tunes to posterity.
"Kentucky's mountains, not I
Tennessee's." Ethridge said, j
j "really contain the gold mines
Hi ancient English ballads andl
native folk, or if you prefer, hill- j
billy music."
This is beyond any doubt, he I
added, despite "the contentions!
that Tennessee has been making !
for some years now," to use his j
words.
Ethridge also said he had his i
opinion of "those who sniff in
disdain at hillbilly music."
"A great many people seem
to think.' the broadcaster said,
"that symphonic music is real-
ly the music of the American
people. As a former director of
two symphony boards, I am in-
clined to doubt that."
To back up his argument,
Ethridge said he never knew
of a symphony to support itself
"even in Washington," while
every hillbilly performance he
can recall was packed to capaci-
ty.
Ethridge incidentally, ap-
peared before the KCC to sup-
port continuation of super-pow-
er radio stations which he said
were necessary to provide radio
service to large rural areas.
Womens Bowling
Congress Returns
For Competition
KANSAS CITY, Mo—(UP) —
T h e women's International
Bowling Congress Tournament—
a casualty of the wartime sea-
sons —returns to the national
sports scene tomorrow night, at
Kansas City.
Teams from every section of
the United States, as well as
Canada, the canal zone and Ha-
waii. are entered for the revival
of the classic which will last for
more than a month.
The secretary of the women's
bowling congress, Mrs. Emma
l haler, of Columbus, Ohio, says
a total of 7,71"> women will bow!
in the tournament, which in-
cludes comeptition in five-mem-
ber teams, doubles and singles.
v
The Kentucky Derby has been
run on the first Saturday in
May since the first classic in
1875, except last year, when it
was postponed because of war-
time restrictions.
Love At First Sight
Turns Trip On Train
Into Honeymoon Ride
GAI-LUP. N. M. (UPi — Yes-
terday a .15-year-old veteran met
a 33-year-old department store
clerk on a train in Kansas. To-
day they were married in the
dining car ducing a 10-mlnute
stopover at Gallup. N. M.
The principals in the love-at-
first-sight romance are Lee Met-
calf and Wanda Page of Wichi-
ta. Kan. Miss Page was on her
way to Los Angeles for a visit.
Now it'll be a honeymoon —and
her new home, since Metcalf
has a job there.
Tonight, the newly-weds had
a wedding dinner, specially-pre-
pared by the steward and served
in the same dining car where
they were married.
v
Costly Loot
Research conducted at two
large American colleges tends
to prove that turtles and frogs
are deaf to human speech.
President .lames Madison's fa-
i mous wife, Dolly, was a Quaker,
land a daughter of the noted
I North Carolina Payne family.
WESTBROOK, Me. (UP) — A
systematic and persistent burg-
lar in Westbrook, Maine, picked
a garage with many windows
for his scene of operation the
other night.
One after the other, the thief
tried to jimmy the windows.
Finally after failing to open 11
of the windows, he did succeed
in getting in the 12th —and stole
$20.
But what the burglar doesn't
know is that the 13th — and only
window he didn't touch — was
unlocked!
v
Power Of Press
Very Convincing
BEDFORD (UP it— An Army
nurse at New Bedford, Rhode
Island — Dorothy Shea —knows
all'about the power of the press
now.
Dorothy confided to a report-
er friend the other day that she
couldn't be on her job at the
hospital because she was out of
white stockings, and the rules
were "white stockings or stay
at home."
Three hours later it was on
the radio, and in the papers.
Yesterday, Dorothy went back
to work—wearing a brand new
pair of duty whites. She has 27
more at home and 200 more on
the way—promised by people
Who heard her plight and aren't
going to let her down.

Salesgirl Saves
Day, Earns $10
During Process
SPRINGFIELD, — (UP) —
"slick chick" in a Springfield.
Ohio, drug store outwitted a
slick slick short-change artist
the other day.
The crook bought a pack of
cigarettes with a $20 bill. The
girl at the counter gave him one
Id. one five, four ones and some
silver.
At once the man asked the
young miss to give him a 10 for j
the fiver and four ones.
She said she would if he'd give j
her another dollar. He acted ir-
ate and said she should just give
him back his $20 bill.
About that time the clerk was j
fed up with the maneuvering, !
grabbed the money in front of j
her and called the manager.
The short change artist left I
the store in a rush — having j
shortchanged himself out of $10 j
which he didn't think it was I
wise to wait for.
