Hoover Estimates Demand

Russia Is Not Considered
European Crop Declared
To Be Y Per Cent of
Normal Pre-War Figure

PARIS, June 3.-A preliminary sur-
Vey of the import necessities of Eu-
rope, except Russia shows the area will
need 700,0O0,O00 bushels of whear and
rye at minimum, or S5O,OO0,OOO bush

Hoover, head Of the Allied relief or
ganization, said to-day. The export
surplus Of wheat and rye from the
larger exporting countries indicate the
needs of Europe can be met. Mr..
Hoover estimates the exports of the
United States at 47O,OOO00o bushels.
Through our organization and in
cooperation with the various govern
ments,' the statement says, "we have
completed preliminary survey Of the
food prospects of Europe and the i'm
port necessities, outside of Russia. for

I'VE estimate the total prospective
European yield of wheat and rye out

Indicates crop Of about II per cent

DR.. Day Faces
inquiry To-day
On PrOfiteering
Legislative Committee to
60 Into Charge City Has
Been 'Couging' Tenants in
Stalls in Big Markets

DR.. Jonathan c. Day, Commissioner
of Public Markets, will be examined
at to-day's session of the joint legs-
latlve committee investigating the
housing situation, on charges that
New York City, through him, is prof
teering by increasing the rentals for
stalls in Wallabout, Wa hington and
West Washington markets.
Senator Charles c. Lockwood, chair
man OF the committee, declared last
night the commissioner would be
treated similarly to others charged
with forcing excessive rents from
tenants. The commissioner will be
asked to produce his books giving the
costs of maintaining the markets.
We have been told" Senator Lock
wood said, that the city. through the
Commissioner Of Markets, is pursuing
the same tactics which are bringing
other landlords before the Mayors
Committee on Rent Profteering.
Lessees of stalsl in all the markets, we
understand, are being assessed greatly
increased rentals, while we have also
heard that other tenants of the city
are being similarly oppressed. We in
tend to sift these charges thoroughly
Will Go Into Increases
The Commissioner has told us that
leases held by the tenants We have
found on Investigating that the leases
stipulate that no increases shall be
in excess of 33 Is per cent We are
going to find out if any maximum has
been exceeded, and if so, why"
Commissioner Day. in his address to
the Washington Market Merchants
Association on Monday, declared he
had heard that certain members had
written, signing fictitious names, to
the Joint Legislative Committee An
officer of the Association said last
night that no member would be cowed
into using any other name but his
own in making so legitimate com
plaint."
Corporation Counsel Burr and Con
troller Craig will ALSO testify before
the Legislative Committee 1t was
learned on good authority last night
that Mr.. Burr will point out the un-
constitutionality of the Mayors pro-
ject Of city built homes on the court
house site, while the controller will
maintain that even if the project were
permitted by the cty's charter, it
would be inexpedient and ineffective in
settling the housing crisis. Allan Rob
inson, president of the City and Su-
burban Homes Company, will also
testify.
Mayor Hylan has been invited to at.

on important matters coming before it
He found the occasion during the de-
bate on the firemen's three platoon
measure.
Delays Are Criticised
This matter" said McGarry, "has
been before the board for months W.
should pass it or kill it. This business
of keeping it in committee while the
board marks time will not help any
one.
"One of the three greatest speakers
| ever listened to was suffragist
leader Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. With
the exception of two men I once heard
she talked more sense than any one
ever heard, and have heard thousands
And she said all, or most all, of ou,
troubles are caused by the neglect oil
men who are elected to public Office tc
do their sworn duty. And that view
hold. 1t is not what the Board of Al
dermen does that injuries the people
but what the Board of Aldermen fails
to do"
Alderman William T. Collins, Demo
crat, chairman of the Committee or
General Welfare, which has hal the
two resolutions for nearly six months
made an explanation of the delay.
I'VE have been waiting for data from
the Fire Commissioner" ne said
He has written me saying he has not
any definite plan He says that to in
stitute the three platoon would mean
an increase of so per cent in men and
an addition to the budget of S4,442 $50
for the first year, and an added in
crease each year thereafter. Under
Section 724 of the charter the Fire
Commissioner can install any system he
wants. 1t is only a question of the
Fire Commissioner asking the Board
of Estimate for the money. He is now
preparing to try out the two platoon
in one hundred of the fire companies
in the busiest sections of the city and
he has done that without any resolu-
tion being adopted by this board
Cry of Politics Raised Again
"The two-platoon system means a
twelve-hour day, and the tiremen won't
be satisfied with that said Algernon
Lee. leader of the Socialist minority
ut is all right for members of the
board who are sparring for the political
sympathy of the firemen to talk this
way" said Robert L. Moran, Presiden mt
of the board "But the welfare, not
only Of the fremen. but of the whole
city, must be taken into cons liberation.
and neither the public nor the firemen
will be fooled by any such talk"
The motion was lost, only thirteen
votes being recorded IN it's favor.
Similar action was taken on mo-
ton to discharge the same committee
from consideration of an ordinance
forbdding the employment OF green
motormen, which was introduced Feb
ruary IL
