HOOVER EXPECTS
FOODS7UFFs TO
DROP IN PRICE
Comprehensive Plans Are Out
lined for Cutting Out Un-
necessary Cost Between
Producer and Consumer.

tsy koRHINe JousNAL SPECIAL lrAsep wiRe1
Washington, May 29.-Reduction
of the present high prices the con-
sumer pays for food. it was announced
today, will be one of the first aims
Of the new food administration which
will be created with Herbert c.
Hoover at its head as soon as con-
gress passes the governments food
control legislation.
This will be undertaken by cutting
down the margin between producer
and consumer through a system OF
executives under the central admin
istration, each to study means OF
shortening the speculative chain that
handles particular commodity. The
first staples to be studied probably
will be grain, flour, meat and sugar.
To Modify Methods.
Stability of prices, Mr.. Hoover be-
lieves, is vital to the successful low
ering of costs to the consumer. both
here and abroad. The executives VIII
have under them boards. on which
will be represented producer, middle
man and consumer. Their efforts will
be in the direction of modification OF
present trade methods and the stimu.
lation of production
The system of executive boards will
be one of several divisions into which
the administration will be divided.
One duty of the executives will be to
advise on allied purchasing. which
Mr.. Hoover and government officials
hope will be removed from a competi-
tive basis. The food administration
through it's commodity executives will
ascertain just what the country can
spare in food staples, and this will be
balanced against the allied demands.
To Avoid Irritants.
The food administration, 1t was
said today, will take up its work de-
termined to adopt no irritating meas
ures. Mr.. Hoover Is convinced that
with the cooperation of the people
the food problem can be solved with
a minimum of dislocation. Stabiliza-
ton of prices. he believes, can be ac-
complished by Iubricating the chan
nels of distribution.
Offers of volunteer service to the
administration continue to pour into
Mr.. Hoover's office. Virtually every
occupation and industry is repre-
sented.
THE actual number Of workers re-
quired for the central administration"
said Mr.. Hoover today. will not be
large. but when congress acts will
ling and superior staff of assistants
should be at the Administrations COM
mand. Since the food adminitration
Is to use all existing agencies con-
cerned with its work and will try to
bring in all the men and women of
the country associated with food disA
tribution and consumption, the actual
OF Americans taking part in
the administration will be very large.
So complex are the problems and SO
the range of possibilities
that all Of those who are willing seem
likely to be able to render some serv-
Ice sooner or later.

CONTENTION WITHOUT
THE SLIGHTEST MERIT

San Francisco. Calf, May 29.--The
claim that the selective draft passed
by congress May II violates the fed
eral constitutional provisions prohib-
iting slavery and involuntary servi-
tude," advanced by Ferdinand Clau-
dius of Oakland, Calf, was charac-
terized by the state supreme court to-
day as utterly without merit"
Claudius applied today for the Sec
ond time for writ of prohibition to
prevent Mayor John L. Davies OF
Oakland from compelling him to reg
lister for the draft on June S. He
contended that the selective draft bill
was In violation of section 1. article
l3. of the constitution of the United
states and a section of the state con-
stltution.
A previous application for similar
rellef was denied by the court without
comment. Claudus' counsel declared
he would take his application to the
United States supreme court.

VICTOR BERGER
YIELDS To WISH
OF WASHINGTON

tsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL tGAsso wiasl
Washington, May 29.--Victor Ber-
ger, Milwaukee socialist and former
member OF congress, today abandoned
his attempt to get passport to at
tend the socialist peace conference at
Stockholm. The state department
was unrelenting In its determination
to grant no passports.
Mr.. Berger declared that without
socialist delegates from the United
States and France, the German influ-
ence in the conference would be up
permost and undoubtedly would lead
to an understanding between the
Russian and German socialist forces.
"The American delegates do not
STAND for separate peace between
Germany and Russia: we want to
bring a lasting peace to the world"
that he did not believe it unreason-
able. In any other country they
would be hailed before military court
martial. and dealt with by that au-
thority," he asserted.
George P. Listman, superintendent
of a printing establishment, testified
that Wells ordered 5000 mo conscrip-
ton" circulars at his shop. It was
the distribution OF these circulars
which brought about the arrest of
Wells and the others.
