PAGE FOUR ! HE THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA_ - ka Em p{re xcept Sunday by the Daily Al Publishi actions in Newburyport are merely skirmishes rather than full-fledged battles. Basically, the price level for manufactured goods has been raised on the stilts of high labor costs and high raw material prices which have reflected the inflation of money and credit and | special areas of scarcity. The present drive is con- cerned with the symptoms of that inflation, high prices, rather than with its primary cause, expansion in bank credit. To the extent that scarcities are being modified, prices can be reduced in any event. That many prices are too high is recognized by all competent observers. However, these high prices cannot be corrected by action at any one level or‘ production or distribution. Clearly, most retailers are in no position to introduce and continue a 10 per cent cut in prices unless their suppliers cut prices by similar amounts. Their suppliers, in turn, have no such margin on which to operate and hence they must devend upon reductfons in manufacturers’ prices. | Much publicity has been given to record levels of [~~~ | profits in many industries.

The last time was on his 25th day of con- finement. He was pretty well gone by then. He had to hold on to the wall to get to me, where I was standing by an open space. It is my opinion that Lt. Little was respon- sible for this man's death. Marine Sgt. Joe Dudley asked Lt. Little why he had turned Pavlockus over to the Japs and Lt. Little sa'd if he had to do it over again he would.” Schulman tried to thr to Paviock: du ment, but the Japs this was siopped. Maj. Thomas Hewlitt, New Albany. Ind., senior medical officer who examined the body, stated that Pavlockus' weight was reduced from about 170 to 55 pouncs. Schulman stated that Pav- lockus was so thin that, being a tal! man and too long for a Japanese coifin, his body was folded in half and placed m the coffin According to Schulman, Pavlock- us, although unruiy, “had a heart of gold and if he had extra food would share it with other men.” Schulman said Pavlockus had previous row with Little for which he was turned over to the Japs The latter said that if they caught him again they would kill him Other U. S. officers and men at Camp 17, while admitting the diffi- culty of maintaining discipline, re- sented the fact that Little appeared well fed while they were on the brink of starvation, and that Little was held in such high esteem by the Japs. They could not under- stand his giving commands to Al erican prisoners in the Japanese language, playing checkers with Japanese officers and sitting down with them at a special Jap dinner in his honor at Christmas time.
