Manager King Makes Report M Tampa Trip) - SINGAPORE. — The crown colony of Singapore is meet-/ ing the challenge of black markets and inflation by epening a chain of restau- rants which serve simple but nourishing meals for the equivalent of 17 U.S. cents. Called “the People’s Res- taurant,” their menus include rice, meat and vegetables. The first already has opened in downtown Singapore with a capacity of 2,000 persons. Along the line of British government restaurants in the United Kingdom, the eat- ing places are expected to force prices down in private establishments. At present the cost of subsistence in Singapore is estimated at five times prewar. An investigation by the Wages and Cost of Living committee of the colony led to the restaurants’ intro- duction. They are operated by the government Social Welfare department.

The auto and icebox makers can’t gear up to high mass pro- duction levels, say the anti-con- trol forces, unless they can count on liberal consumer credit to just making the “little _ fellow” liquidate his war bonds or bank account — if he’s got them — to keep from getting left out of the buying parade, More and more they’re por-} traying the veteran as the fel- low who’s ‘handicapped by the controls and they’re asking what's SUCH A MEASURE NEXT YEAR oo has a fairly. good chance of pass- ing at the next session of the Florida legislature, Representa- tive Bernie C.

Thus, Key West would get the money paid for stamps used on cigarettes used in Key West.” Mr. Papy pointed out that the state gets the bulk of its revenue from cities and keeps all of it.

Ten co-defendants also were executed | by a firing squad. They were charged with trea- | son, war crimes and collabora- tion with the Germans during the war. It developed, after the execu- | tion, that groups in various countries in the world had asked the Yugoslavian authorities to spare Mihailovic’s life. | Several such requests had been sent from the United States ! and Great Britain, but they were not reported during the trial. Washington and London re-| ported that no official requests }from the United States and} {Great Britain had been made in | the general’s behalf. It was said also that a group of ‘American’ flyers, who cooper- , ated with Mihailovic, had re- quested to testify in the case, but the request was refused. | HOW CAN HOUSING | KEEP.
