Washington, Aug. 20. - Proposed
amendments to the food control act
which would authorize the president
to fix wholesale and retail prices Of
certain commodities, were strongly
opposed today by Attorney General
Palmer.
Appearing before the house agricul-
ture committee to urge the enactment
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.
The department has recommended
that provisions Of the food control
act be made applicable to wearing
apparel. fuel and fertilizer, with
heavy penalties for p~rofiteering.
Exemption from prosecution un-
der the food control act Of any re-
taller was opposed by the attorney
general, who also asserted that pen
alties should be imposed for profit
teering on producers organizations,
conducted for a profit.

turned overseas veteran. You've
probably read much about this St.
Swithin person who has been held
responsible for the eight days Of
heavy downpour in the east, and
you probably have wondered the
why of him.
The old book says Of st. Swith-
in:
"St Swithin's day is celebrate
on July Is. the anniversary of the
transition of his relics. This ira
dition is founded on a legend that
the Undetermined saint had beg
ged to be inferred in the opeE
church yard and not in the chan
eel Of the church at Winchester,
England, as was usual with bish-
ops. Here he remained for over q
century, when the monks, thinking
it a disgrace that so great a saint
should have SO lowly a burial
place, resolved to move the body
Unto the church. The 18th of July
vas appointed for the purpose.
But on that day a mighty rain
storm burst forth and continued
for 40 days. The monks took this
as a sign of heavenly displeasure,
and instead of removing the body
they built chapel over where it
lay.
Unfortunately for the legend,
however, it happens that the for
NAL transition of the relics of st.
Swithin from the grave in the
churchyard to a magnificent shrine
within the cathedral was in fact
effected on July Is, 971, only 109
years after his death, without any
meteorological interference"
The downpour in the east began
on July Is.
