LEAGUE TO CHECK
HIGH LIVING COST

Washington. Nov. 29.--The depart
ment OF agriculture, commerce. post
ONCE. and many members OF congress
are ieagucd today In an effort to
check the high cost OF living. Their
efforts are the direct result OF appeals
from the public whose, tills are tap
ped by some OF the highest costs on
record.
General boycotts. food dictator
ship. food embargo. government
price control--all these and more are
recommended In an overwhelming
mass OF messages to President VIII
son. cabinet members and congress-
men.
While these appeals Will not affect
tomorrow's Thanksgiving price list
with turkey heading II at 80 to 45
cents per pound--oficials hope TO
make at least dent hereafter.
The agricultural department Ia
working on plans for an Increased
crop yield as an effective remedy. The
commerce branch reported some
progress" today In pondering food
cost and distribution problems. The
post once department has advanced
q proposal to make necessities more
reachabie---and less costly--through
the parcel post.
Meantime. congress threatens Il
agitate everything from food en-
barge to government price fixing
There Is vast sentiment for q govern
ment commission to Ak prices. though
the principal issue probably will b
over an embargo on exports. Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald. leader thereof

idea and believes he can force tht
proposal through. despite heavy op
position from the farm districts.
oficials are avoiding discussion fol

as exists abroad. They believe the
problem can be met without such
drastic action,

Washington, Nov. 29.--Sinister in

pSrently innocent case Of sinking Of

ficiai uneasiness over German

Germany was believed here today
to be paving the way to admit guilt
in the torpedoing 81 the British
steamer Marina. with loss Of six
American lives. Further. authorities
claimed TO see hint that she In
tends TO do as heretofore--seek set
tlement OF the case through confes-
sion. reparation. and offer OF In
demnity.
But II the administration follows
Its words OF the past week, this will
be insufficient. Germany's reported
willingness ito accept consequences. =

they felt the Teutons expect the case
to be ended as others were---satis
