DELAY NAM|NGfA|R
PRICE COMMITTEE
Reorganization of Local
Members Prevents List Ap-
pearing Last Thursday.

Reorganization of the fair price
committee of the District of Colum-
bia, which under the recently ap-
proved amendment to the food con-
troll act will have wide Jurisdiction
over prices of food, coal, clothing
and shoes. has been delayed by failure
of several organizations to nominate
members of the committee as request
ed by Chairman Clarence r. Wilson
of the committee.
The committee, as suggested by
Mr.. Wilson after conference with Of
flcials of the Department of Justice.
will have six direct Representatives of
labor and consumers and six from
the trades directly interested in the
price of necessities of life. Judging
by the promptitude of their replies to
the request for committee nomina-
tions. the trades are more interested
in the new system than are the con-
sumers, though neither list is COM
plete.
In the meantime the fair price COM
mittee of eighteen members, which
was appointed by Mr.. Wilson last
spring. has been discharged, and the
revised fair price was not issued last
Thursday as usual, pending the can
vass Of the local markets by the
new committee. More drastic and
definite penalties for profiteering and
boarding are possible under the re-
vised act than formerly. in addition
to the placing of coal, clothing and
shoe prices within the Jurisdiction of
the price-fixing bouy, and Mr. Wilson
is very anxious for the new commit
tee to complete it's organization and
begin functioning.

WOULD PRESERVE
WAR DIVISIONS
Gen. Pershing's Plan Forms
Basis of Permanent Re-
serve Army.

A volunteer force of officers and
men who served in the great war, so
organized as to preserve wartime
designations of units, was proposed
to the military committee of Con-
gress yesterday by Gen. Pershing as
the basis of a permanent reserve to
be maintained in future by universal
service.
Until universal training got under
way, he told the committee. divisions
and smaller units now diSbanded
could be brought back into existence
ON paper. with enough volunteers
from their former personnel to make
up the skeleton of a continuing re-
serve system.
Assigned to Reserves.
Later, he continued. men emerging
from universal training camps could
be assigned to these reserve units in
their home localities. He suggested
that the men thus assigned be as
sembled for drill or maneuvers "once
or twice during the period they are
ing. though they could not be actu-
ally called into active service except
in time Of war.
The general said the problem of
fitting in this plan with any con-
tinuance of the National Guard as
such was a difficult one. He sug-
geste ed that the governors of states
reserves into service in local emer-
gencies. but preferred that their
training and organization be distinct
