posed today by Attorney General

Appearing before the house agricul-

ment of additional laws to help reduce
the cost OF living the attorney general
declared such executive power would
be too drastic and would provoke so
much debate In congress as to delay
passage of other amendments sug-
gested by the department OF Justice.
Armed with an anti-profiteering law
the department, Mr.. Palmer told the
committee, could obtain sufficient in
dictments In various cities which
would make unnecessary a far-reach-
Ing fight against high prices.
