M.-JA. 9256 OMAHA, Neb., June 24—Oppor tunity for 2.000 reserve and nat ional guard officers now on ter minal leave or inactive status, to return to extended active duty in company grade with units of' the Army Ground Forces has been an nounced by Gen. Jacob L. Dcvers commanding general of the AO1? The announcement, which is the Ground Forces initial move to car ry out War Department directives for an interim army comprising a balanced, capable volunteer of ficer corps, will remain in effect until the army attains a permanent post-war status. Officers commissioned in the Army of the United States can become eligible for duty if other wise qualified, by applying and accepting a commision in either the Organized Reserve Corps or in the National Guard. It also was pointed out by Gen Devers that officers who volunteer for extended active duty at thi time may indicate a preference for the overseas theatre to which they desire assignment. Consideration for this preference will be given in all assignments. Officers who held rank higher than that of company grade at the time of separation from the ser vice may volunteer for duty in company grade. To be considered for duty with the Army Ground Forces, officer17 will be required to have had prior service in the AGF or AGF type unit; to not have attained their 37th birthday; to hold an efficien cy index rating of 35.0 or higher for all military service performed subsequent to September 16. 1940 and, to meet physical standards for general service . Officers ordered to active duty in company grade will be tempor arily commissioned in the Army of the United States in grade not higher than the one in which the officer served immediately prior to processing for relief from active duty, and, will be required to vol unteer for service for an unlimin ted length of time, or, until June 13, 1947. Interested offi—cers are advised they are subject to overseas assi gnment and to any downward grade readjustment procedure in the same manner as all other of ficers on active duty, except that they shall not be reduced to a grade lower than the permanent grade held on December 17, 1941. Extended active duty in a tem porary Army of the United States status will not affect an officers' permanent commission in the Of ficers Reserve Corps or in the Na tional Guard. There are also a few opportun ities for field officers in scarce categories, to volunteer for exten ded service or active duty under the same conditions as company grade officers providing they have an efficiency index of 40.0 or high er. Officers desiring extend Jl" active duty must apply for such in writing to the Adjutant General Washington, 25, D. C. PRICE PANEL OPERATION Need for better understanding of Price Panel Operations today prompted Arthur B. McCaw, Ra cial Group Representative of the Price Control Board, to issue a statement concerning methods used by the Panel to secure com pliance with OPA ceiling prices. There have been a few instances Mr. McCaw said, where people have hesitated to report price ceil ing violations fearing to get the merchant into trouble. This is es pecially true of small overcharges amounting to a few cents. Whenever, as a result of a Price Panel survey or customer com plaint, Mr. McCaw explained, some merchant is found to be charging over ceiling prices, he is first ask ed by a letter to a conference with the Price Panel. A Panel Conference, Mr. McCaw declared, is not a court hearing, and Panel members are neither judges nor jurymen. A Panel can not impose a fine. The Panel can suggest settlement of the claim BOWEN Appliance Co.

Back Your Future With U. S. Savings Bonds During wartime these bonds backed the victorious attack on the Axis. Now these same bonds, still being bought by millions of Americans at their place of Work, at banks, post offices and other issuing points, con tinue to be the chief insurance for a better future for the family and the individual. General Dwight D. Eisenhower describing U. S. Savings Bonds says: “While obviously it is not my prerogative to tell our veterans how to conduct their lives after their release from the Army, nevertheless, my continuing interest in their welfare impels me to urge that they give serious consideration to the advantages offered by United States Savings Bonds.’’ U. f " • *ury Department STATE FURNITURE Co. 14th 8c Dodge St. VETS SPONSOR NEW SERVICE FLAG A new service flag designed to enlist the full weight of public opinion behind employment of ve terans, will soon be officially ad opted by the War Department if present plans of the American Veterans Committee are success ful. According to Charles G. Bolt (right) national chairman of the AVC, the new flag really stands for something—it shows the num ber of veterans that an organi zation is employing not how many employees were in the armed for eesDesigned by Robert L. Marx, (left) head of Marxman Pipes, the new flag is somewhat similar in design to service flags already flown: large red border, white; background, gold star for number! of men killed and blue star for those who went into service. How ever, a blue “V” for veterans re presents the number of veterans now employed. Thus, photograph of the flag above the first of its | kind, flown in the Marxman Pipes j plant, indicates that the company is now employing more veterans than left to join the service. - ’:— - - ' for overcharges, but it cannot ac- j cept such settlements as final un til approved by the District Of-, fice. If it is the merchant’s first vi olation and the total amount in volved is $10 or less, the seller is placed on probation and his case j suspended. If, however, at a later j date he is again found to be in; violation, the settlement is based on both the present and the pre vious violation. Under the Administrator’s Claim the Price Control Panel may ne gotiate a settlement of the claim with the violating merchant, Mr. Me Caw said, and if the name of the consumer who paid over—ceil ing prices is known, the Panel may arrange for a refund of the amount of the overcharge only. This is the type of action that today is preventing the lid from blowing off our costs of doing ( business, Mr. McCaw said. Parti- | cular attention is being given to, price violations in cost of living I commodities which are of great1 importance to returning veterans and their families.

EUGENE R. BERTERMANN Director of Radio for the Interna tional Lutheran Hour and summer guest speaker on Bringing Christ to the Nations, June 30, July 7 and 14. St Louis, Mo., June 30 (Special) An appeal for ‘more than patriot ism”—the upbuilding righteous ness which truly exalts a nation_! was issued today by Dr Eugene F' Bertermann.. Radio Director of the International Lutheran Hour, in the first of his addresses as sum mer guest speaker on Bringing Christ to the Nations. Speaking over the Mutual Broadcasting Sy stem and affiliated stations, Dr. Bertermann asserted: ‘ We can never sufficiently thank our hea- j venly Father that the United Sta tes of America was founded not as a skeptical, unbelieving, irre ligious nation, but as a Christian I commonwealth. The first coloni sts who settled on the Atlantic seaboard came to North America in search, not of gold but of God. and the right to worship Him ac cording to the dictates of their conscience. The Declaration of In-! dependence, whose one hundred j and seventieth* anniversary we observe this week, declares that the thirteen colonies wanted to as sume the separate and equal sta tion to which the laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them. It asserts that all men are endow ed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happin ess. In its conclusion these early representatives of the United States of America appeal to the Sr\preme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our intentions and with a firm reliance on the pro tection of divine Providence—mu tually pledge to each other our lives, our fortune, and our sacred honor! Dr. Bertermann continued: A Christian serves under two flags. Both the spiritual and the tem poral realms cooperate in beauti ful harmony, serve and support each other, so long as misguided men do not force them into oppo sition to one another. We cheerful ly salute Old Glory, and in doing honor Him whose wise providence ordained civil government. Yet on ships at sea in the hour of public worship, the Christian flag is run up above the Stars and Stripes, in recognition of the fact that there is a Commander above the com mander-in-chief; a King of kings whose reign is eternal and whose message of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus addresses its appeal and challenge not only to the United States, but to all the world. George Washington served under two flags when he prayed for his country as fervent ly as he fought for it bravely, and when he wrote to General La fayette: “I am not ashamed to Mill myself a Christian, and I try samestly to be one.” PRESERVING NEGRO NEWSPAPERS --- • -•< w tw FT 11 WITH THIS PORTABLE 35 mil limeter camera during the next 12 months.

Collins, who set an au-time re cord of 37.05 seconds for a mile it Milwaukee, Wis., June 9, infor med Edwin Schultz, State Fair Board secretary, that his big Of fenhauser speedster, damaged at Milwaukee, will be ready for the wide-open competition here. The LeMars, la., daredevil was setting a terrific pace in the Bar ney Oldfield Golden Jubilee fea ture when his motor apart, strew ing connecting rods and other parts along the straitaway as he headed a big field in the midwest's biggest classic of the first post war season. we inrormed Schultz that he been able to obtain replacement parts, and would be gunning for more records when unwinds his big Offenhauser on the State Fair, track. He added that it was pos sible he would have a new motor. He had ordered another Offenhau ser motor more than a year ago, but the Los Angeles firm, engag ed in war work, was unable to de liver the hand-tooled job immedi ately. However, he had been in formed it could be expected at1 any time, and Colline was hope ful he would have it in time for the July 4 program. Collins will have plenty of com petition as he goes after more points that will count toward the International Motor Contest Assn championships for 1946.
