Davis, | OPA Regional Administrator for U. 8. Territories, and guest speaker at today's luncheon-meeting of the | Juneau Rotary Club. In opening his talk, Mr. Davis !veminded his listeners that this is an election year, a year in which many public offi ton are expressing opinions that may not alwa; coincide with pri- tely-held beliefs. Much that is being said is slanted for the record and political weight, he said. Strikes Natural Reaction The wave of strikes and strike talks in Washington is not as im- | as it may sound on paper. natural reaction of labor, led by young, aggressive and am- bitious men, to attempt to get as much as possible out of the present industrial boom that has in truth ieen going on all during the war. With war ended and many regu- iations such as those from the war ortant 1t a { prodiuction board removed, labor is | have been terminated in the near future it is believed, the speaker said, that no unbearable increases will have resulted and the stabili- | zation program will go on much as it has in the past. In the last war two-thirds of all |inflationary problems took place . after the end of hostilities. Today bmlnefis men are in happier cir-| tumitnnccs than in any similar | perfod in the past.

Hearings on exter now underway in Langton will undoubtedly result in extension of a year or at least 6 months with in a ng he OPA ! review for continuation in the fall, said Mr. Davis. There will be changes made i the OPA functions, he continued. Regulations may be loosened some- certain restrictions removed, | etc. But the general operation will continue in its present line. Dangers of Relaxation Told In showing what could happen’ should OPA suddenly lift price con- trol at this time, the speaker point- »d to removal of price regulations on citrus fruits and coconuts. “Citrus growers assured us there ywould be no trouble. Production was abundant. There was a suffi: cient supply of grapefruit and or-; anges for everyone. We lifted the ! contrel price in November. The first day prices were up 50 percent, | and we were forced to ree<tah11\h the regulation. In the case of coco- nuts prices went up 50 percent the | first day, 100 the second, and 400 tl"? third. Mr. Davis said there were no in OPA regula- | tions in Alasa. The office is at- ‘empting to work in harmony with | the needs of the Territory’s economy | and to give as fair a deal as pos- cible to its business men and con- sumers alike, he said. Special Crab Salad Today's luncheon at the meeting | consisted of a special crab salad with the main ingredients donated | by George Skuse, Don Skuse, and j | Hank Harmon, who brought in 50 spider crabs from Marmion Island | Sunday. The crabs were caught in a crab trap designed by George Skuse. Mr. Harmon distributed the crab shells to be used as ash trays during the luncheon. At the business session preced ing Mr. Davis' talk, it was an- nounced that the Rotarians will give away a 1946 Plymouth as a means to raise funds for the Mem- orial Library. The car is now on its way from Seattle aboard the North Sea, which sailed today. Negotia- tions in bringing the car to Ju- neau are being handled by Bob Cowling.

At a meeting late yesterda;. with all Juneau office if members present, Mr. Davis expressed his pleasur> at being able to visit | Alaska again. Approximately 18 months & on the occasion of his first visit with the Alaska organiza- Ition on its own ground, he had out- lined certain program objectives which he felt were important and which he now feels have been lachieved to a considerable degree out to show its strength and pow- | er, Mr. Davis asserted. | OPA Stands Firm OPA has taken a firm and stub- torn stand, however, and when ar- guments and scrambling around Decentralization In the summer of 1944, Mr. Davis st i the wisdom of decentraliza- tion of OPA operation to better Ivice the scattered trade and pop- ulation eas in Alaska. Similarly advised strengthening the fi ‘rn ices in the interior to enable {them to reach out into the vast out- |lying areas with the pyogram’s pro- tective benefits. Yesterday he told .thr- group that spscial concessions [had been made in recent agency consolidation moves to provide the Alaska organization, which pes lone of the most goognpmcany qdif- ficult areas in the nation, with ad {quate facilities to carry their job ! through to successful completion. He also assured the staff that there is {every reason to expect extension hy | Congress of the Price Control Act with full operation through the com- |ing fiscal year. ihz' . Backing Agency At present Mr. Davis feels that Alaska business and consumer groups are backing the agency's '2f- \forts to achieve postwar stabiliza- tion and are now convinced of the Alaska division policy of giving every possible consideration to Alas- | kans' interests in the performance lof their clearly defined task—that |of holding the price and rent line juntil postwar Alaska can return to | full peacetime business and trade atus. Public reaction to the Alas- * k,: OPA’s participation in current freight rate issuc is one indication of this, Mr. Davis feels. “All OPA personnel tinue to. realize the pla(»m on them by th i by th> people in are functioning,” must con- responsibility government o interest Mr. Davis Leaving fgr the interior tomorrow, ke plans to confer with as many of the members of the OPA field of- ificss as possible befora returning to the Juneau office for f{inal confer- ences with ‘Territorial officials on general program plans for the com- ing montks P NAVY AN TRIES T0 CLEAR KIMMEL OF CHARGES MADE WASHINGTON, Feb. 5—Naval Captain L.
