Must Change Marketing.

WASHINGTON, Dec IL The
United States must effect a change
in its marketing if it would have re-
lief from high prices, department CT
agriculture experts said today.
While the department of justice
continued it's delving into suspected
food price conspiracies, the agricul-
ture experts worked on methods OF
improving market conditions. Taking
a leaf from European experience they
hope to present comprehensive plans
whereby every city can improve its
present methods. They seek to
eliminate much of the waste, hope to
chop out some of the middlemen's
profits and by better organization
eliminate many pennies now going to
loss.
The justice experts want a new
law to deal with food prices con-
spiracies. They find that the present
law is not entirely adequate for their
purpose and hence, they expect to
ask congress TO pass a more flexible
and disable measure. Federal District
