TEXTILE SHORTAGE
BLAMED ON AESNCY
Towel Manufacturer Sayi
OPA Responsible For
Present Situation
Washington, Feb. 28— am -
Towel manufacturer C. A. Cannon
asserted Thursday that the short
age of cotton textiles “traces di
rectly to OPA.’*
The chairman of the board of
the American Cotton Manufactur
ers association told a Senate agri
culture subcommittee investigating
the cotton clothing shortage:
Czarist Rule
“OPA has ruled like a czar.
It has been arrogant, high-hand
ed and short-sighted.’*
Cannon emphasized that although
“there never has been such a de
mand” for cotton textiles, the
country has 11,000,000 bales of
surplus cotton, “or just about a
rear’s »upply.”
Towel Maker
Cannon, who lives in Kannapolis,
Sf. C., was introduced by Sen. Clyde
3. Hoey, D., N. C., as “the man
who makes more towels than any
body in the world.”
“Inflation is here” as far as cot
ton textiles are concerned, Cannon
told the senators.
“OPA holds the line of moderate
ly-priced shirts, shorts, dresses
and all the goods that once could
be bought abundantly,” he said.
“And all that can be found is
something which costs four or five
imes as much and isn’t as good
ifter all.”
Doubts It
“They say housewives regard
Chester Bowles as their saviour,”
Cannon added. “I doubt it.”
Cannon said the 600 members of
the American Cotton Manufactur
ers association use 85 per cent of
the eotton consumed in America.
He contended that if OPA had
properly carried out the law Con
gress enacted, “we wouldn't be
here today with a story of de
dining textile production in Amer
ca.”

Party Was Sober Affair
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28—(PP) —

was “no evidence of intoxication”

man crew of the Prinz Eugen, held

who made a two-day investigation,

alive and usually sits behind
his desk at the local U. S. Navy
recruit ng office, to take ap
plicants for the Navy.
James Gordon Paradise, a
Texas man, is dead, and was
probably buried at sea, after
he was killed in one of the
battles of the South Pacific.
The War department notified
the local man’s wife, that her
husband had been "killed at
sea” when the Texas man was
killed. However the local man
was in Sydney, Australia.
The new? of James Gaynor’s
••'death”, which he said occur- .
red hack in 1942 was relayed
at once to his wife, back home
in Homedale, Idaho, and she
mourned her husband’s loss for
several days, before the War
Department located the correct
dead man and rerouted the
message to his family in Texas.
