No Action Planned In
Connecticut Pending
Formal Instructions
New York Launches Offensive Against “Stoopies” in
an Effort to Meet Challenge of Black Market
f Operators; Few Complaints here
Cigarette smokers in this district, whose hopes rose high
/ver the weekend when they heard over radio news broad
casts that Daniel P. Woolley, regional OPA director, had
declared that merchants must display their available stock
of fags on the counter, are in for another disappointment.

York area, the Hartford OPA office
told the Democrat today. Whether
the Connecticut office would take
similar action forbidding cigarettes
to be hidden under counter?!, lx not
known at this time. Though the
matter has been under considera
tion, by state OPA officials, 11 was
pointed out that the New York di
rective was prlmurlly aimed to elim
inate black market selling, and no
complaints have been received In
the Connecticut area concerning
sky-high prices, H. M. Felney, state
Information executive of the OPA
stated.
He pointed to the fact that It Is
estimated that between 25 and 30
per cent of all cigarettes sold In
New York city are In the black mar
ket, selling for from »2.50 to $3 a
carton.
Tlie Hartford OPA officials have
had few complaints about mer
chants dispensing cigarettes from
under the counter or from their
poakets, Mr. Felney said. Asked
whether Connecticut residents fre
quently complain to the OPA office
Mr. Felney sndl, "We've had plenty
of gripes about food shortages, but
the number of complaints about the
cigarette shortage have been nom
inal."
In New York Mayor LeGunrdla
lias ordered Immediate nation to re
storo buying to n self-respecting
plane. The practice of dealers
"stooping" to extricate a package of
definitely on the way out, soys the
mayor. The storekeoficrs must dis
play their slock openly and meet
all denmndh without discrimination.

Si. Louis. Mo., Feb 12.—Four
month-ol<1 Roberta Ann Ober I* a

showing off shoes designed by the
soldier-father she ha* never seen.
The shoe modeling Is Roberta
Ann's contribution to an Obcr
family enterprise that has pres

Pfc. Robert A. Ober, the baby's
father, designs the Infant foot

drawing a bead on the Japanese.
He and his wife, Mrs. Pauline
Ober, are oixnators of a baby shoe
manufacturing company. Ober
creates the styles and malls them
to Mrs. Ober. Rhe has a sample
pair made, and that's where Ro
berta Ann’s Job begins.
Each new design Is tried on
Roberta Ann for fit, gcnerall ap
pearance and sturdiness. If they
work on her, the Obers feel they’ll
click among the youngest genera
tion elsewhere.
The Infant-shoe business was
started In August, liMll, the same
month Ober entered service. The
factory was a small room, with
Ober as designer and producer, and
Mrs. Ober as the sales force.
Ober went overseas In July. 1044
two months before his home
grown model made her appenr
anee. Following instructions In her
husband’s weekly letters, Mrs.
Ober has built the business Into a
factory employing 60 |>ersons and
