est of Victory Loan
Drive.

The United States destroyers Pauld-
ing and Terry will make a return trip
to Washington tomorrow in the in
terests of the victory liberty loan.

unable to visit the destroyers when
they were here that Rear Admiral T.

issued orders for their return.

veterans of the anti-su> arine cam
paign in foreign waters, and are
equipped for action. with anti-air-
craft guns, depth bomb apparatus and
the rest of a destroyer's armament.

men. They are very speedy and sue

the hearts of the German submarine
!! crews.
| The vessels will be open to visitors
during their stay here. They are ex-
pected to reach Washington at noon
and will remain here during Thurs
day and Friday. On their former Wis
! it they were not here twenty-four
hours. They will dock at the naval
militia wharf, at the foot of 7th street.
In Baltimore. the only pass needed to
board the vessels was that the visitor
should wear a victory loan button.
showing that he or she had bought a
victory note. The central liberty loan
committee here is making arrange
ments to use the vessels during their
] stay here in the victory loan drive.
The members of the crews are

REASONS ARE GIVEN
IN PRICE DEADLOCK
Industrial Board Head Says
Rail Chief Wants Barter to
Decide Figures.
B1 The Asaociafed Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, April 29.-Refusal OF
government agencies at this time to
cooperate in the movement to sta
bilixe prices at a lower level. based
upon a scientific determination or
costs and a proper consideration OF
all interests involved, would be
fraught with grave consequences 10
the country, George N. Peek, CHAIR
man of the industrial board OF the
Department of Commerce, declared In
an address here today before the ali
Chamber of Commerce.
Discusses Railroad Position.
Referring to Director General Hines
refusal to accept the schedule of steel
prices agreed upon between the IN.
dustrial board and representatives OF
the industry as a level for railroad
administration purchases, MT Peek
Hines action was not his objection
to the prices as too high. but his dis
approval of the course of the board IN
approving prices based on cost stud
les rather than calling sellers and
government buyers together and per-
mitting the best possible bargains by
barter"
The course desired by Mr.. Hines,
said Mr. Peek, would mean such a
beating down" of prices as would
force either general reduction in
wages or a, diversion Of the entire
business, of the railroads to one or
two powerful low-cost producers. The
railroad administration. he said, by
reason of its great purchasing power
in rails would practically control
the market and the prices"
The Industrial board. said Mr.. Peek,
did not seek, to, Impose" upon the
railroad administrations a schedule of
steel prices that was deemed too high
by the director general.
ssWithin It's Own Discretion"
Representatives Of the railroad ad-
minietration," Mr.. Peek, continued,
''have been urged to bring forward
any facts which would assist the
board in reaching a conclusion on
prices lower than those approved, and
never has this urging proved fruit
full The answer of the railroad ad-
ministration has ever been. as it is
today. that the price at which the
railroad administration will buy is
within its own discretion"
Mr.. Peek defended the boards price
agreement policy against Mr.. Hines
objection that 1t gives immunity to
the operation of antitrust laws for
the industries involved. Any producer,
Mr.. Peek pointed out, is free to sell at
higher or lower prices than those
agreed upon in a particular industry.
Such a price agreement. he contended,
is mot a combination at all, and
even If it were the result achieved is
certainly a flt field for the application
of reason"
The course suggested by the railroad
administration, he said, means a
utilization Of the combined buying
power of the government that would
entail the very sort of monopolistic
result condemned by the Sherman
act"
Government agencies must give up
some customs and practices of the
past, said Mr.. Peek and sacrifice ad-
vantages, such as competitive bidding,
to serve the interest of the entire ma
ton in solving the price stabiIization

For All

''For. use around cement plants and

ed. By arrangement with the Post
Office department the Treasury de-
partment has provided for the re-
demption of registered stamps at any
postoficc, on the necessary ten days
notice. The regulation restricting the
redemption of registered stamps to
the registering postofice has caused
some Inconvenience in the past. The
plan for extending the redemption
privilege has been properly safe
guarded to prevent redemptions by
any person other than tho bona fide
holder of registered stamps.
Under the plan, application forms
can be obtained at any postofice,
which after being filed out in the
presence OF the postmaster will be |
forwarded to the registering post
office. These forms will carry infor-
patton sufficient to conclusively iden-

postmaster will forward a postofice

should remember that the trade will
accept nothing but high grade, well
packed goods. There are many lots
OF small white peaches knocking arou-

express charges. With a waiting
market for every class of fruit the
grower should accept this golden OBJ
portunity and not spoil it by shipping
inferior stuff. Early apples are SELF

which was operated by joint legisla-

day session, have learned that an audit
of the committees accounts completed
shows the state incurred deficit OF
several thousand dollars by the restau-
rant enterprise.
The capitol restaurant was operated
by joint committee Of the Senate and
House to cut down the high cost of
living for the legislators. The unpaid
bills to merchants are only part of
what the audit is disclosing The bank
book and the check books and can
celled checks on which the auditors
depend to adjust the tangle are not in
the archives and the auditors are ex-
perencing difficulty in learning lust
where money that was paid in may
have been paid out.
An exact estimate of what the state
has lost cannot be given until the
audit is completed, but is known that
1T amounts to several thousands of
dollars. Some estimates place it as
high as $4,000.
