RETAIL GOVERNMENT SHOPS TO BE OPENED INLEADING CITIES
 OF NATION IN WAR ONH.C.L.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26-Further steps to bring down soaring prices were taken today by the government, the war department announcing plans for opening retail stores in a number of cities through which surplus household commodities and clothing will be made available to consumers throughout the country.
 Meantime, congressional commit tees continued consideration of Iegis- lation designed to reduce the high cost of living. This included amend ments to the food control act to pun ish profiteering and hoarding; bills to regulate cold storage and appro- priations for the federal trade com mission to investigate stocks and give such information to the public.
 Through the retail stores to be opened by the war department, the army's large surplus stocks of socks, underwear, shirts, Taincoats, blan- kets, gloves, tobacco, soap and other commodities will be sold. Consumers in the large cities where the stores will be operated will be able to purchase over the counter,
