CALLED TO APPEAR FOR
ALLEGED FOOD VIOLATION

(, Two Washington bakers and a retail
grocer have been summoned to appear
early next week before Clarence R.
Wilson, food administrator for the Dis
trict, and answer charges of having
violated regulations of the United
States Food Administration.
The bakers are accused of having
failed to use the required amount of
wheat flour substitutes in making
bread. The retail grocer. who bakes
some of the products he sells, must
answer the same charge. and in addi-
ton he is accused of selling wheat flour
at price which yielded him an ex-
cessive profit.
Representatives of Food Administra-
tor Wilson are keeping close watch on
Washington grocers and bakers and
any alleged violations of the regula-
tions are promptly Investigated. If the
charges against those summoned for
hearing next week are sustained, it is
probable they will be required to sus-
pend business and will not be permitted
to resume until they have pledged them
selves to abide by the food administra-
tion's regulations.
